Chapter 8: The Suspicious Police Officer

During the subsequent investigation, Irene found traces that some clues had been deliberately covered up, which made her suspect there was a mole within the police station. She decided to observe the behavior of each police officer discreetly, trying to find the traitor hidden in the shadows.

Among the many police officers, Jack's behavior caught her attention. Jack was a tall middle - aged man who was usually taciturn. But recently, his behavior had been very strange. He frequently visited some mysterious places and seemed very nervous every time he came back.

Irene started to secretly follow Jack. She found that Jack often went to an abandoned car yard on the outskirts of the town after work. The abandoned car yard was located on a wasteland, surrounded by overgrown weeds, very secluded.

One night, Irene followed Jack from a distance to the abandoned car yard. She hid behind an abandoned car and observed Jack's every move. Jack walked into the yard, looked around, and then went to a black sedan. He took out a key from his pocket, opened the car door, and took out a black package from inside.

Just then, Jack seemed to sense something. He suddenly looked up in the direction where Irene was hiding. Irene was startled and quickly hid herself. Jack looked around vigilantly and then quickly left the abandoned car yard.

Irene knew she had been discovered. She was very annoyed, but at the same time, she was more certain of Jack's suspiciousness. She decided to speed up the investigation and uncover Jack's true identity as soon as possible.
