Chapter 1412: Every Second is Agonizing

"Alright, let's go now!"

Rowan was more than willing. He desperately wanted to replace Claire asquickly as possible. The longer it took, the more likely that things wouldtake a turn for the worse. Such a disappearance was illogical andworrisome. Tristan went, and naturally, Monica followed as well. Asfriends, they were also concerned.

With such a significant incident, Monica couldn't possibly return to theinn by herself to rest. She was a kind girl, and she had met Clairebefore. In Monica's heart, Claire was not at all annoying. AlthoughTristan was very worried about her, Monica could understand. After all,a person who had vanished into thin air would have many peopleworried about her.

Moreover, Tristan had booked the inn with his mobile phone, and shedidn't know the exact location. Despite having walked nearly 20, 000steps with high heels, and her legs already sore, Monica continued tofollow.

They went to the ancient bridge with the police officers, who turned toRowan and asked for confirmation, "You two are a couple, right?""Yes."

"Is your relationship deep? Did you have any quarrels before theincident?"

"No quarrels.” Rowan was helpless but patient, "We have a greatrelationship, Officer. You don't need to suspect me. Really, the mostimportant thing is to replace her. I suggest sealing off the entire ancienttown so that the criminals can't take her away!"

He was somewhat emotional, even making some gestures, but hisupbringing told him to restrain himself.

"Mr. Watson, the entrance has been sealed off. Our principle ofhandling cases is not to let any suspicious person go. It's not that wesuspect you, but we can't rule out the suspicion of you either.”

Rowan was speechless. At that moment, he wished he were a god.Tristan glanced at Rowan, trying to see something from his handsomeface, as the culprit of a high IQ crime often didn't look like a criminal.But Tristan also had a feeling that Claire's disappearance had nothingto do with Rowan.

Soon, everyone went up the steps and arrived at the place whereRowan had last seen Claire. Rowan described the scene in detailagain, and the police officer took notes carefully. Tristan noticed theclear river. With his height, he could easily climb over the railing. Hethought about Claire's height and looked at the river with furrowedbrows.

Below was a calm surface... But it seemed to hide something unusual,and the possibility of falling into the water couldn't be ruled out.

"Could she have fallen into the water?" Monica blurted out. She lookedaround and found that there were no surveillance cameras in thislocation!

"But the railing is not low, and a perfectly fine person shouldn'tsuddenly fall into the water, right?"

One of the police officers said, "Moreover, this girl was in a good mood,didn't quarrel with her boyfriend, and didn't have depression. Even ifshe fell into the water, she should have floated back up."

Another officer crouched down. He carefully examined the scene andfound no signs of a struggle. "The footprints are not very clear, but youcan see that more than one person has been here."

Everyone else crouched down as well.

“I don't think the footprints are clues. This is a public area, and therestroom is on this side. It's normal for people to come and go," theofficer analyzed.

Tristan leaned on the railing, staring at the river with a blankexpression, his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his eyes becomingdeeper. Monica stood up, her gaze falling on his side profile. Today,there was no sun, and the light was dim, making his jawline even moredistinct.

He was worried about Claire.

And Monica was worried about him. She wanted to share his worriesbut was powerless to do so.

After everyone had finished examining the scene, they continuedsearching separately. Time passed by, and soon it was night. Severalhours had passed, but there was still no news. Rowan, Tristan, andMonica sat in an open-air restaurant. The owner served them threefragrant plates of fried rice.

They were all hungry, but they had no appetite. Their hearts were filledwith worry for Claire, and no one touched the food.

“Let's eat something first." Rowan looked up at them and startedeating, "Not eating or drinking won't change the situation.” His face wasfilled with disappointment, and deep in his heart was self-blame.
