The Fourth Case (11)

Bundy is right, of course. Manager Joo should have been on our list of suspects from the very beginning give his access to the inner workings of the post office.

But even as the realization settles like a lead weight in my gut, I can feel the doubt beginning to creep in, the nagging sense that pursuing this lead could be a mistake. After all, Manager Joo is a respected figure, a man with the authority to cover his tracks and manipulate the very evidence we rely on to build our case.

As I struggle to find a way forward, Bundy's voice echoes in my mind once more, a mocking whisper that sends a chill down my spine. "I've got a simple solution," he purrs, his voice dripping with false sympathy. "But you'll have to trust me. Follow my lead, and we'll have our killer in no time."
