Mastermind Behind The Scenes

"First of all, according to the Brightpath Group, this lost information was researched by Dr. William Carter, and it contains crucial information for conquering leukemia."

"If we continue studying this information, it's very likely that humans will be able to completely overcome leukemia."

"In this way, the person who researched this information will undoubtedly become one of the greatest scientists of our time."

"Let's assume that this information was not researched by Dr. William Carter, but by the missing Alex Morgan."

"In order to seize this reputation, Carter asked his nephew Thomas Carter to collaborate with the casino owner to make Alex Morgan owe a huge debt, and then tried to kill Alex in the name of debt collection."

"In this case, even if we find Alex Morgan's body, we can only trace it back to the casino at most."

"And somehow, Alex managed to escape this disaster, so he committed the crime himself, which would also explain why the scene was so tragic. After all, Alex must have been extremely angry when committing the crime."

At the police station, Daniel calmly explained his thoughts.

"Captain, when did you develop the talent for writing novels? This is too bizarre and absurd. Moreover, Dr. William Carter is a renowned scientist; how could he do something like this?" Adam said with a smile, clearly not agreeing with Daniel's theory.

"But doesn't it make sense?" Daniel replied.

"Of course, this is just a thought I had; it doesn't count as evidence. The case must be based on facts."

---

"Captain, come and see!" At that moment, a voice filled with surprise echoed through the room, grabbing everyone's attention. It was a female police officer who had been reviewing the surveillance footage. At that moment, she was staring at the picture on the computer screen, her face filled with fear.

"What did you find?" Daniel and the others quickly rushed over and looked at the computer screen. Their faces all went pale.

In the image, it was raining heavily, and a shadow was swiftly crawling along the smooth wall. Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up the night sky, revealing the shadow's true form. It was a giant lizard. No, it should be called a lizard-man. It crawled quickly to the 12th floor of the building, broke the window with a punch, and climbed inside.

The building was the headquarters of Brightpath Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and the 12th floor was where the laboratory was located.

---

"Oh my God!" Everyone's eyes widened instantly, their faces full of disbelief, including Daniel.

"Angela, are you sure this is surveillance footage, not some special effects video?!" Adam asked, still in disbelief, looking at the female police officer sitting at the desk.

The female officer nodded slowly. Silence filled the room.

A lizard-man! Such a creature actually exists in the world!!!

---

Just as everyone's worldview was shaken, another voice rang out.

"Captain, a massacre has been discovered in the north of the city. Sixteen people were killed in a villa. Except for a 6-year-old girl who was knocked unconscious, all of them were slaughtered. According to the report, the deaths were particularly brutal. The owner of the villa is named Ethan."

"What? The owner of the villa is named Charles?" Daniel, still in shock, was taken aback when he heard the name. Ethan – this was exactly the name of the underground casino owner they had previously encountered.

"Mom, where is Dad? Why hasn't he come home yet?"

In the City Center, Greenway Community, a commercial house. On the sofa, a 5-year-old girl lay on her mother's lap and looked up at her mother.

"Dad is busy at work and will be back soon." The woman smiled as she spoke to her daughter, but inside, she was very angry.

"Damn Alex Morgan, he hasn't come home all night, and I couldn't get through to him. He must have gone out to gamble again. If I hadn't been thinking of Rose's feelings, I would have divorced you a long time ago."

---

Ding-ling-ling~ At that moment, the doorbell rang.

"Look, Dad is back," the woman said with a smile, hearing the doorbell. But the little girl shook her head.

"No, it's not Dad. Dad never rings the doorbell. Dad always knocks on the door, and he has the key."

Hearing this, the woman was stunned.

"Yes, that damn bastard never rings the doorbell, and he always carries the key with him. Who could it be?"

With a puzzled expression, the woman got up and opened the door. Two policemen came into view. One was older, and the other was younger – they were Daniel and Adam.

"Who are you?" The woman was startled. The first thought that crossed her mind was that the damn bastard had been caught while gambling at the casino.

"Hello, you're Alex Morgan's partner, right? We need to ask him something. Is he home?" Daniel asked.

Let's not focus on the bizarre lizard-man for now. After connecting all the dots, Alex Morgan is definitely a key part of this investigation. After returning from the North City massacre, Daniel went straight to Alex Morgan's house.

---

"No, he hasn't come back all night. What's going on?" The woman became instantly nervous. Her husband hadn't come home all day, and now the police were here. From their words, it didn't seem related to gambling, but something more serious. It was hard for her to imagine it in a positive light.

"Please don't be nervous. He's involved in a case we're handling, and I just need to speak with him. Can we come in?" Daniel tried to keep his facial expression relaxed, not wanting to make the woman even more nervous.

"Well, okay, please come in." Though she had no idea what was going on, she couldn't turn the two policemen away, so she stepped aside to let them in. At the same time, she called out to her daughter, who was on the sofa with her phone,

"Rose, go to your room and play. Mommy needs to talk to the policemen for a bit."

---

The little girl obediently ran into her room with her phone. Then she found a set of Barbie dolls on her bed.

"Wow, Barbie dolls!"

This made the little girl very happy. She had wanted this set of Barbie dolls for a long time, but her parents had never bought them for her. She immediately opened the box and started playing with them on the bed.

As for who placed the Barbie dolls there, the 5-year-old didn't think much of it and assumed her parents had put them there.

---

Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the building across the street, a creature more than two meters tall, with a massive frame, covered itself tightly and watched the woman speaking to Daniel in the living room with its yellow vertical pupils. Its eyes were full of guilt and sorrow.

This creature, who had covered itself tightly, was Alex Morgan. After killing Charles and Thomas Carter the night before, he went to the north of the city and killed Ethan's family and his men, sparing only a little girl. He couldn't bring himself to kill her, so he just knocked her out. Then he came here. But he was too scared to face his wife and daughter, so he had been watching from afar. He had been here all night, too afraid to frighten them.

---

It wasn't until this morning that he found an opportunity to sneak into his daughter's room and place a set of Barbie dolls on her bed. After seeing the police arriving, Alex Morgan knew he had to leave and find that man. He needed to find him to change back, or he would never be able to see his wife and daughter again, hold his daughter, and kiss her cute cheeks.

"I will definitely come back."
