Chapter 7 285 Vouchers Chapter 7 Arabella rented a small apartment, enduring the pain in her leg as she underwent rehabilitation, while also communicating with Chandler about rejoining the team. On this day, just before hanging up the phone, Chandler mentioned a recent case from the Criminal Investigation Unit. "Anthony and his team have hit a bottleneck..." It had been a long time since Arabella heard that name, and she felt a bit dazed. She logged onto the forum and saw many discussions about the case, but a few pinned comments made her hand pause on the mouse.

"The Criminal Investigation Unit has been on this case for almost a month, and there's still no progress." "Sigh, don't even mention it. Ever since Arabella left the team five years ago and the Investigative Duo fell apart, the Criminal Investigation Unit has been going downhill." "The new tech guy isn't up to par, it's all just for show." These comments left her with mixed feelings, but she still clicked on the case details. Several explosions had occurred in South End in quick succession. The methods were crude, but one photo from the scene made Arabella's pupils contract sharply.

The nightmare from five years ago returned, but as she looked at the ever-increasing numbers on the casualty list. The sense of duty ingrained in her bones overwhelmed her fear. She forced herself to calm down and, using the scene photos and other information, worked through the night to create a criminal profile.

Although she couldn't participate in the investigation directly, she still sent the key information anonymously to Anthony's private email. A few days later, someone on the forum revealed that the case had made a breakthrough and an arrest operation was being deployed. Arabella looked at the screen, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth. Being able to stop evil and protect innocent people made her feel alive. What made her even happier was that, with the help of newly introduced equipment, her leg would soon be fully recovered.

After her final rehabilitation session, the doctor escorted her to the door. "Your leg is completely healed. Starting tomorrow, you can try not to use the wheelchair and walk as much as possible." Arabella smiled in response, but her gaze was drawn to the large screen behind the doctor. Chapter 7 On the screen, Anthony was presenting an honor to Judith. 1281 Vouchers Their police uniforms made both of them look tall and elegant, a perfect match. The doctor tilted his head slightly and remarked, "I heard this deputy team leader is quite impressive.

He hasn't been on the team long, but he's already earned a personal commendation. Young people are truly remarkable." On the screen, Anthony's voice came through the microphone: "Thanks to Comrade Judith for sending me the crucial evidence via email, we were able to..." Hearing this, Arabella was stunned. The information Anthony mentioned was what she had sent him. How did it become Judith's achievement? Even if others didn't know, how could he not know that only she had access to that email? Or had he already shared everything that was uniquely hers with Judith?

Her ears were filled with passersby praising Judith. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She turned her wheelchair and fled in panic.

When she woke up, the familiar musty smell made Arabella instantly alert, her pupils contracting sharply. Chapter 7 288 Vouchers She could never forget this basement! Five years ago, it was here that the explosion shattered her life into pieces! She struggled to sit up, discovering that her hands were tied behind her back.

Judith shook her head, trembling: "Bella, where are we? How did we end up here?" "It must be revenge." Arabella answered while searching for a possible exit, "The case from five years ago might be connected to the recent explosions. We've become targets." Outside, faint footsteps could be heard, mixed with Anthony's anxious shouts. "Arabella! Judith! Are you in there?" "We're here!" Arabella shouted back, moving Judith closer to her.

"I'll untie you first, then you help me." Judith's knots were untied. But she fumbled, unable to untie Arabella's ropes no matter what. Until Arabella realized something had been tied to her hands. 10.57 D
