Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 562

“The case of the grandmother and granddaughter murdered in the abandoned Riverbend village—we’ve been investigating it nonstop. But so far, we have absolutely no leads,” Bruce said, sipping his tea with a frown.

Bennett replied, “Mr. Jones, you’re a veteran detective. For a case to be in your hands this long without a single clue?”

Bruce explained, “We’ve scoured the crime scene. No fingerprints, no footprints, and we haven’t found the murder weapon. The doors and windows were locked and intact, with no signs of forced entry. And even though the village is mostly demolished, we’ve checked all surveillance footage within a ten-kilometer radius and found no suspicious individuals.”

“It sounds like it was premeditated,” Bennett concluded.

Bruce nodded. “Premeditated, yes. But to execute it so perfectly, leaving us with nothing to go on, proves that the perpetrator has strong counter-surveillance skills. They might even be very familiar with our police procedures, which is how they avoided leaving any trace.”

“Are you suggesting the killer could be a veteran detective like yourself?” Bennett raised an eyebrow slightly.

“If not a detective, then someone who is extremely knowledgeable about our internal investigation methods,” Bruce said, then added, “Does it seem logical to you that such a perfectly planned crime would target a poor, helpless grandmother and her granddaughter?”

Bennett replied, “So, you believe this case is aimed at us, the Thompson family?”

“A murder in Riverbend will definitely affect the start of any construction. Your family is planning to build a port there, aren't you? Could this be the work of an enemy?”

Bruce put down his cup, leaned over, and opened the drawer of the coffee table, taking out a pack of cigarettes.

He opened the pack, tapped one out for himself, and then tossed the pack to Bennett.

“Your special reserve, I see,” Bennett remarked, glancing at the pack before taking one out and lighting it.
