Mysterious Mr.Richard

It was some random accident. Someone obviously planned it. Alexander sobered up immediately when he saw Pearl being dragged into the alley even if he had drunk a lot that day. 

The usually bustling street was completely and eerily vacant. Just one single car was parked at the entrance of the alley. 

At that moment, he felt that the person sitting in the car was like the Grim Reaper.

To do such a thing to a twenty-year-old girl was even worse than killing her off. 

Due to darkness of the night and the rain, he easily avoided the car and went undiscovered.

"This is the photo I took that day. The car is parked right at the alley entrance. At that time, I thought that all I could do was to help you retain some of the evidence, but then..."

"Then what?"

Ethan had told her that what happened in the past was definitely more complicated than they'd thought. It wasn't something that could be done by an ordinary man.

And now Alexander's photo proved it. 

There was obviously someone behind all this.

"Then, I intended to investigate the car owner, so I asked a friend who worked in the Vehicle Administrative Office. The same afternoon, he called and warned me to not investigate any further." 

"Then what happened?" Pearl said nervously. 

"I then asked other friends to help me. The next day, I was told that my application to the job in uni had failed. There was also something problems with my Ph.D. screening."

Alexander was a year ahead of Pearl. Seven years ago, he had just graduated, and received a recommendation to work in the uni while continuing his Ph.D. He had a bright future at that time. 

Sure enough, his career and Ph.D. were miles important to him than that accident. .
