Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292

Juliet Stewart said she saw a face at the window.

This statement was truly horrifying.

Because the dormitory was on the third floor, although not very high, the outer wall had no reliable points to latch onto. For someone to climb up by hand and quickly leave within seconds was almost impossible.

Ray Cooper couldn’t help but ask, "Were you scared by the police meeting today, dreaming about something similar at night?"

"Who opened the window?!" Juliet Stewart retorted with red eyes, "The window was perfectly closed when we went to sleep!"

She turned to Fiona Lake, "Fiona Lake, the window was closed, right?"

Fiona Lake frowned slightly and nodded with a "hmm."

— The window was a left-right sliding type, with metal latches, but rarely locked. Over time, the latches rusted, becoming difficult to fasten, so residents grew lazy about securing it.

Allen Rivera looked at Jane McCain, "Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

When asking this, his expression was serious and calm, as if Jane McCain were just an ordinary witness to a case.

Jane McCain felt neglected but instead of getting angry, she felt a hidden sweetness inside.

... She couldn’t understand why she felt sweet.

Nonetheless, she needed to be serious when facing the prosecutor’s questions.

Jane McCain recalled the scene earlier, saying, "I also heard the window creak, turned to look, and found the window was opened a little bit... with a head... that seemed to be trying to crawl in. I was frightened silly at that moment, and... she started yelling, and then that thing suddenly disappeared."

Everyone’s expressions grew heavier.

If only one person saw it, there might be room for error, but Jane McCain also saw it.

Jane McCain didn’t attend their meeting and didn’t know what was happening in the village, so it’s impossible for her to have a nightmare about something similar.

Fiona Lake looked at Allen Rivera nervously, "Is it targeting us?"

"According to the villagers’ common statements, they heard noises in their homes at midnight, thinking a thief had broken in, and got up to check only to find a face crawling around inside, which quickly fled upon being seen," Allen Rivera spoke calmly, "Based on today’s situation, we can at least draw two conclusions."

He looked at Ray Cooper, "Ray Cooper, you tell us."

"Ah?... Uh..." Ray Cooper was suddenly called upon, scratching his head awkwardly, "This guy... is very fast?"

Allen Rivera subtly furrowed his brow and turned to Lucas Tucker, "You tell us."

Lucas Tucker said, "Firstly, from several cases, it is evident that although the other party can easily infiltrate residents’ homes, there were neither theft nor signs of injury, suggesting it is timid and poses no threat to humans, even fearing human retaliations, thus only able to flee.

Secondly, the window opening is very small, incapable of accommodating a regular human body shape; even for a child, it’s difficult to enter flexibly, coupled with agility and rapid responsiveness, leading to preliminary judgment that it is an animal adept at climbing."

"But it has a human face!" Juliet Stewart couldn’t help but voice, slightly emotional.

Allen Rivera glanced at her indifferently, "According to reports from villagers, many indeed mentioned a human face, but due to lighting and other factors, no witness truly saw clearly, so this is the direction we need to investigate further."

When strange things happen, the aim should be to find out the reason, not to panic or fear.

Faced with Allen Rivera’s indifference, Juliet Stewart bit her lip, a look of concealed grievance and resentment on her face.

Officers came in from outside.

Allen Rivera stood up and asked, "Any results?"
