Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 163: Water

"Of course we’re suspicious!"

Secretary Miller said, "But Auntie Lee has been working in our home for over ten years, long before the child was born. When the child was born, she was the one who devotedly looked after my wife’s postpartum recovery. Over the years, the child has become closer to her than to us. After the incident, Auntie Lee cried until she fainted. The police also said that aside from the supermarket’s mistake, they found no information linking Auntie Lee to the kidnappers."

Besides, everyone at home knows she goes grocery shopping every week.

The supermarket is so big, and the child was right by her side. Who would have thought that in the moment she picked some vegetables, the child would be taken away?

Thea Shaw still felt there was a big problem with this.

Thinking of this, she asked, "Can I see the surveillance video from the supermarket?"

By saying this, she indicated her willingness to help Secretary Miller.

Secretary Miller was extremely grateful, "Yes, of course you can. If it’s convenient, I can send the video to you. Can we meet up when you have time?"

Back then, Thea Shaw had warned him, but he didn’t take it seriously.

Now Secretary Miller realized the gravity of the situation, feeling both shocked and afraid, seeing Thea Shaw as his last hope.

"I’ll watch the video first,"

Thea Shaw didn’t hastily agree. She waited for Secretary Miller to send the video and took a closer look.

In the video, the babysitter was holding onto the child, who was wearing a little dress, bouncing around, lively and cute.

In the short time the babysitter was picking out vegetables and her eyes were on the shelves for a few seconds, a figure in a black hat and mask approached. Judging from the build, it should be a man, not very tall.

He came over and took the little girl by the hand. Unexpectedly, the little girl looked up at him, seemingly recognizing him.

Then she was led away, but she turned back to look at the babysitter with some unease, though she didn’t call out.

Thea Shaw furrowed her brow.

Just from watching the video, she could determine two things.

First, the little girl knew the person in the black hat.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been led away so willingly. This was clearly the work of someone familiar, someone definitely known to Secretary Miller.

It’s just that he didn’t mention it, which means he didn’t recognize them.

Second, from the appearance, the little girl is now near water.

However, realizing this also brings ominous implications.

Being near water could mean she is currently being held in a place near water, or it could mean... the body might end up floating in the water.

This girl shows signs of an early death.

Thea Shaw took a deep breath. She would of course do her best to save a person, but some things cannot be resolved just by seeing them. She had warned Secretary Miller earlier; now that the incident has happened, she can only discern this information at most.

Just like how she once suspected a connection between the Old Mr. Kensington Family and Aurora Sutton, but it wasn’t until they did a DNA test that it was confirmed. She just provides a direction.

As for where the little girl actually is, that relies on the power of modern society to find her.

Seeing this, Thea Shaw didn’t hesitate, and called Secretary Miller back: "Secretary Miller, I can only ascertain that the child is in a place with water."

She didn’t mention the possibility of her dying in the water, but after pondering for a moment, she continued, "A swimming pool, an aquarium, by the river—anywhere there’s a large presence of water could be possible. You’ll have to search these places yourselves."

After hearing this deduction, Secretary Miller also thought of something, his face immediately turned pale. He didn’t dare think of the possible consequences, and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Miss Shaw, we’ll start the investigation immediately!"

Thea Shaw added, "Also, you probably know that man, think carefully. A child wouldn’t go with a stranger."
