Chapter 452 Justice Must Be Served for the Deceased
Hearing his words, a pang of sorrow hit me, making me momentarily sentimental. I looked at him and
asked, “Don’t you suspect that I killed Elliott?”
He shook his head, looking at me and said, “We both know very well what really happened. If you
wanted to kill him, why would you contact me, planning to have me take him away? This is not your
fault.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
For a moment, I felt a slight swell in my chest, an indescribable feeling. Up until now, I thought
everyone would blame Elliott’s death on me, even I thought so myself.
Seeing my reddened eyes, Stanley sighed slightly, saying, “The situation at that time was indeed
complicated, but Ms. Conner, I can assure you, Mr. Hinton and I have never blamed Elliott’s death on
you. We both knew what was going on, otherwise, how could Mr. Hinton have almost lost his life trying
to save you?”
I pursed my lips, enveloped by the warmth that welled up within me.
I took a breath, looked at him and asked, “Has the Hinton family seen this video?”
He nodded, “The old lady missed her son. It was rare to have such a recording. I made a copy for her.
Now, these are all that Elliott has left.”
Indeed, the mother and son who had been separated for ten years, upon meeting again, it was a
farewell between life and death.
Thus, Marjorie’s background became clear. She was from a martyr’s

family, and with Michael’s entrustment, now that Elliott had passed away, Walter naturally wouldn’t
stand by and do nothing about Marjorie and her daughter, whom Michael had entrusted to Elliott’s
care.
Presumably, if the old lady had known, she would have undoubtedly done everything in her power to
ensure that Walter took good care of Marjorie, for her son’s sake in the afterlife. The best care in the
world is nothing more than keeping someone by your side.
Marjorie was pregnant and entrusted by Michael, who then married Marjorie. Everything seemed to fall
into place naturally.
Thinking of this, a sour feeling welled up in my heart. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t upset, but more
than that, I felt relieved. After all, in this world, when some people leave, others come. It was time for
me to peacefully do what I needed to do.
I took a slight breath, looked at Stanley, and said, “Officer Stanley, I was wondering if you could do me
a favor, could you?”
Stanley paused slightly, hesitating, and looked at me, asking, “What favor?”
“I wanted to go to the border one more time.”
He furrowed his brows, clearly pausing, his face full of confusion, “Why? You’ve just come back after so
much difliculty.”
Looking at him, I had no intention of hiding anything. I said, “Captain Lucas is dead, Elliott is dead,
everyone else can move on, but I can’t. Ezra is still out there, free. Someone has to seek justice for
those who have died.”
He furrowed his brows, “What are you trying to do? If Ezra was that easy to deal with, the police
wouldn’t have been defeated by him several times. I am a police officer, I want to bring him to justice

than anyone else, to give an explanation to the deceased. Ms. Conner, I want to kill him even more
than you do, to avenge my mother, but
things are not that simple.”
I understood his meaning, looked at him, and said, “Yes, it’s not that simple. He’s at the border, full of
tricks. Let’s not talk about the fact that you don’t have any evidence to arrest him. Even if you did, with
the vast mountains at the border and his multiple hideouts, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky
for you to catch him. But I’m different, I can do it.”
He didn’t understand what I was saying, staring at me blankly.
I pursed my lips, took a breath and said, “Even if I didn’t go to the border, Ezra would have come
looking for me.”
Stanley was silent for a few seconds, then looked at me and asked, “Did Mr. Hinton know about your
thoughts?”
Walter…
I shook my head, calmly saying, “He doesn’t need to know.” What’s the point of saying these things
between two people who originally had nothing to do with each other?
He sighed, helplessly saying, “Going to the border again is too risky, Ms. Conner. I can understand your
feelings, but I can’t make this decision. If I let you go to the border and something happens to you, I
won’t be able to explain it. Besides, if Mr. Hinton knew you wanted to take a risk again, he probably
wouldn’t agree.”
This person…
Didn’t make sense.
Seeing him like this, I pursed my lips, paused for a moment, and said, “Officer Lu, whether you agree
or not, I will go to the border again. I

came to find you, just hoping to be able to contact you at any time when necessary. If possible, it would
be best to have your help. If not,
even if it costs my life, I will take Ezra to hell with me.”
