Chapter 682
Larry almost immediately realized, “Elton?”
“Yes.” Larina lowered her eyelashes and said, “I’m sorry, Larry. I leaked the news out. I asked Luke where Elton was in advance, so he was taken away.”
Larry didn’t know what to say for a while. After a long time, he said, “What do they want with Elton? Is the matter of Crystal’s injury related to them?”
Larina shook her head. She looked at the snow-white ceiling and said softly, “I think… they’re angry.”
“What?”
Larina said, “He is very angry. Although he didn’t show it, I felt it,” Larina said. Turning her head towards Larry, she continued, “He knows Crystal and he’s angry because she got hurt.”

Larry said, “Valeri, this is the last time. Next time they come to see you, you must tell me. You have no idea how dangerous those people are…”
“I know.” Larina said calmly, “I knew it when they killed Valeri.”
Larry felt a lump in his throat, but it wasn’t directed at Larina in anger. He was still upset about the fact that a few years ago, he could only watch helplessly as Valeri died in the pouring rain.
If Valeri hadn’t died, many things would be different then,
“I’ll call the doctor,” Larry said. “Don’t think too much. Valeri, you know very well that your illness is a taboo.”
Larina didn’t comment.
Larry went out and called a doctor to check on Larina. She stood at the corner of the stairs and called Harold.
It was nearly five o’clock in the morning. When many people were in deep sleep, Harold’s voice was very clear. “What’s wrong?”
Larry quickly told him what had happened. Harold paused for a moment and then said, “It was not them who took Elton away.”
“What?”
“Elton’s body has been found,” Harold said, sitting up and taking a sip of the cold water in his glass. On the windowsill, the bottle of wine that Crystal had given him still had the wildflowers she had picked. He looked away from the dark night outside and paused briefly when he saw the delicate flowers. Then he continued, “The conclusion from the forensic autopsy is that he was killed by having his throat cut. He had conflicts with someone before he died, but the injuries he sustained weren’t severe. Also, the alley where his body was found is two districts away from the small hotel he checked into.”
“Two districts…” Larry repeated, “Why is the corpse thrown so far away?”

“Based on the testimony from the receptionist, it can be inferred that Elton was already dead in the hotel. Why did those people take the risk of disposing of the body in such a faraway place?”
Larry said in a low voice, “Unless they did something with the corpse… If someone brought a corpse to me, the only thing I could think of is to threaten someone.”
*The reason for taking away Elton’s body was to make a threat, and the only person who could have been threatened by Elton was the mastermind behind the plan who instructed him to incite Elvira to assassinate Crystal.”
“So, if what Larina said is true, then the group of people who took away Elton’s body was different from the people from that organization. These people acted even faster than them, and their goals were completely different,” Harold said calmly. The person who killed Elton used him to threaten the mastermind behind the plan, while the other group of people…”
Larry gave a wry smile and said, “They want to avenge Crystal.”
He let out a long sigh and said, “You really…lived like an old monk for the first twenty-something years, and as soon as you became enlightened, you got yourself into such big trouble.”
