A Secret Investigation

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

"That's reasonable."

David and Kirk agreed with my suggestion, especially now that we'd been uncovering the truth behind Nazan's death, peeling the layers open like an onion. Now that we knew there was a conspiracy, if we were not careful, we might end up in a disadvantageous position. Our current whereabouts might even be in the hands of that unknown person.

I discussed with Kirk and David about how we should keep a low profile for the next few days and temporarily stop the investigation to act as if we were certain that John was the murderer. We needed to first lower the other party's guard before considering our next move.

After coming to an agreement, we proceeded as planned. As usual, Kirk drove me back to the hotel. To keep up the false pretense, I even pretended to be very happy and invited Kirk to stay at the hotel to celebrate the resolution of Nazan's investigation.
