Revenge After Death



Eason had Dennis Colby, his assistant, to pick us up. They were extremely busy sorting through nearly a hundred missing person cases in the Huma Police Department.

"This is a missing person case from 40 years ago. The missing person's name is an 18-year-old woman named Sarah Leigh. She was known as the most beautiful woman in the village, with a slender and well- proportionate figure.

"It was said that she longed for the big city and came alone to Huma. She had been frequently sending letters and money back home during the early years. Her family was the first to build a new house in their hometown back in the mountains and was the envy of many.

"Sarah Leigh has been missing for the longest time among the recently reported cases. Photography wasn't advanced back then, and this black-and-white photo is the only image we have of her. She had sent it to her grandfather back then." Eason enlarged the restored photo on the screen.

"Damn, she's stunning. She'd be considered a real beauty even by today's standards," Phil exclaimed.

The woman in the old photo looked beautiful smiling. Despite her braided hair and a plain plaid top, her beauty still shined through.

"Don't you guys think... the two of them look alike?" Phil questioned suddenly. He had turned to look at me and was pointing at me before pointing back at Sarah's photo in surprise.

Eason paused for a moment. Zion also turned back to look. I felt shy having all the police officers staring

at me.

I studied the photo carefully. For some reason, I did find our appearances quite similar.

"This was someone who went missing earlier this year. He was also 18 years old during his time of disappearance. He was over six feet tall-handsome, popular, and widely known as the campus heartthrob." Eason continued to display the most recent missing person case from the list.

"There are both men and women among the missing people. There are so many cases, which might not all be connected. But if they were all separate cases, we might be exhausted having to deal with nearly a hundred cases," Phil muttered.

"You can investigate them together," Steven suggested as he walked over to carefully examine each missing person case. "The Rebels have already screened them for us. Since the families chose to report their disappearance all at once at this moment, there's likely to be a connection between them."

"Indeed, this issue has already caught significant public attention. The media has started interviewing the victims' families, and it's causing quite a stir." Zion massaged his temples.

It would be hard to contain soon. The police would have a tough time wrapping things up if the cases weren't solved.

The Rebels were using another way to pressure the police in order to mess with Genome Society. "These fuckers!" Phil cursed.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

My gaze remained trained on the photo of that woman named Sarah Leigh.

"Does this Sarah Leigh still have any family members? Who was the one who made the report?" I asked. "It's her biological brother. He's in his 60s and traveled by train for several days and nights to Huma. He's an honest person and doesn't seem like a bad guy," Zion replied, sharing his analysis.

"Don't judge a person's character based on their appearance," Eason retorted.

Zion kept quiet.

I looked at the photo. "Can I meet Sarah Leigh's family?"

Zion nodded. "Alright, I'll make arrangements for it."

"Mom, this granny..." Ashton stared at Sarah's photo for a good moment before continuing, "She's a natural."

Phil was amused. "Of course, she's a natural. There was no plastic surgery back in those days, so she's definitely a natural beauty!"

I hesitated for a moment. They might not understand what Ashton meant, but I did.

He wanted to say that Sarah Leigh wasn't a clone subject—she was the original.
