NOVPUBChapter 1284: 580 Ghost Path_2 Chapter 1284: 580 Ghost Path_2 Being watched like this by Aubree Groove, Peter Aria seemed a little nervous.
He touched his face and found it covered with stubble.
“Sorry, I forgot to shave,” he said.
However, his burning eyes betrayed his eagerness to know the answer.
Aubree Groove smiled and said, “There’s news.”
Peter Aria’s eyes widened with surprise, and his hands started to tremble with excitement.
“Really?”
“Really,” said Aubree Groove gently.
Peter Aria was so happy that he moved about joyfully like a child, saying, “That’s great.”
Aubree Groove watched him silently, a smile tugging at her lips.
...
“Now, come home with me.
Take a shower, have a good meal, and get a good rest.
When you wake up, we’ll start looking slowly.
Now that we have a clue, it will be faster.”
Peter Aria immediately replied, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
After Aubree Groove had seen Madon Linggo, she and Peter Aria left the police station.
She sent Peter Aria back to the hotel and ordered food from Oncoe Building.
After bath and shave, Peter Aria looked refreshed.
During the meal, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you get out of him?”
He had been patient for so long that he was at his limit.
Aubree Groove placed a bowl of nutritious wonton soup in front of Peter Aria and gently said, “Thirteen years ago, Ms.
Parker fled to Pethkids, where she was tracked down by Rafferty.”
Peter Aria, gripping his chopsticks nervously, inquired, “What happened then?”
“Rafferty was helpless to follow Virginia Frost’s orders.
He sympathized with Ms.
Parker’s plight and let her go.
He personally saw Ms.
Parker get on a cargo ship.”
This news also surprised Aubree Groove.
“To cover for Ms.
Parker, Rafferty burned Lidya Linggo’s family home that night.”
How ironic that in order to save one person, five more were killed.
His sympathy was blood-stained.
The only point that Peter Aria paid attention to was that cargo ship, “So, Fanny escaped by ship.
Thirteen years ago, the maritime controls in Pethkids were in the hands of Pindo Rinto.
It should be easier to check from the Rintos.”
Aubree Groove nodded.
“I will personally investigate.
Eat quickly; your food getting cold is not good for your stomach.”
Peter Aria, as if remembering something, suddenly asked, “What about Gabriella Linggo?
Did she also escape by ship?”
Aubree Groove’s gaze flickered slightly.
She replied lightly, “Perhaps.”
Peter Aria frowned and started searching in his bag.
He spread out a world map on the table, located Blonu Pier in Pethkids and said, “North is Lostswa, she escaped from there and definitely won’t return.
The only possibility is that she sailed south.”
Peter Aria pointed at the vast sea area south of Pethkids.
The farthest point in the south was Beverley Island.
He murmured, “Fanny, where on earth are you?”
If Nikita Parker had boarded the Rinto’s cargo ship, the shipping records from thirteen years ago should reveal the facts easily.
“Tomorrow I have to go to Whitehead Mountain, please take care of things at the hospital.”
Peter Aria immediately perked up, “Why standing on ceremony with your uncle?
You focus on your matters.
I will take care of the patients.
Besides, Loretta is also on the mountain.
I’ll ask her to contact you.”
Aubree Groove left the hotel and went straight back to the Rinto house.
She called for Desta Rinto and the director of Maritime Transportation Group to look at the shipping records for the night of November 14th, thirteen years ago.
“Mistress, it’s been a long time, and these records may be difficult to find.
As you know, during that time, Master Iver had just gotten into trouble, and there was quite some chaos in the Rinto family and company,” one of them said.
Aubree Groove rubbed her temples.
“Just try your best.”
After the mishap with Ricky Wood, this man had grown more assertive though.
In a discontent tone, he said, “Mistress, it’s easy for you to say.
I have so much work to do daily.
How can I!”
Aubree Groove called out, “Jayden Moore.”
The young man seemed to float out from a corner, and with a kick to the man’s knee cap, the man screamed in pain and crumbled at Aubree Groove’s feet.
Ricky Wood crossed his arms and stepped on the man’s back, snorting coldly, “Dare to disrespect the Mistress, I’ll kill you.”
The man was scared and trembled, “Mistress, I was wrong.
I’ll find the records right away.”
Aubree Groove waved her hand, and Jayden Moore stepped back, dragging the man out of the room by his collar.
Desta Rinto stepped forward, “Mistress, after Master McKay and Master Wood’s incident, everyone is panicked.
Now is the time for you to take charge and boost morale.”
Aubree Groove replied indifferently, “Tomorrow, I have to go to Whitehead Mountain.”
Desta Rinto responded, “I will arrange a helicopter right away.”
