If these two pieces were complete, I believed my brother would be able to immediately identify the deceased without the need for a skull or DNA.
My brother turned his eyes away forcefully and continued to stare at the Red Spider Lily in his hand.
His eyes were dim and his voice was hoarse when asking, “Captain, can I access my mother’s car accident case from back in the day?”
The scene of the car accident that killed my mother and my aunt so tragically also had a character that just scribbled ‘Red Spider Lily.’ However, in the end, the case was checked out and closed as an accident.
At the time, the appearance of the Red Spider Lily flower had attracted great attention from my brother and Captain Henry.
Even if one was a painting and the other was a character, which seemed unrelated, Henry believed in my brother’s intuition about the case.
My brother flipped through the case file, compared the two pictures, then exclaimed, “No way… I must have guessed wrong.”
Henry didn’t understand what he meant by this, so he asked, “Zachary, have you made an inference?”
My brother immediately shook his head and explained, “It could just be a coincidence, or Hollie couldn’t have survived back then.”
