Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire

Chapter 365

Chapter 365 He Would Die Soon

“Let me check.”

Mr. Boris helped them apply but found no records about her grandmother.

So, he apologetically said, “Ms. Linsey, our system has been updated once. We did not record the early cases. The files that have passed the retroactive period will not be kept. I am sorry I did not find any information about her case.”

Cecelia understood it and said, “It doesn’t matter. Mr. Boris, thanks for your help. I will leave my number to you. Please notify me if there is any relevant information in the future. Thank you.”

“OK.”

It was within her expectations. Even if there was information in the police system, those people must have erased it. It was hard to find information about a case several decades ago from the police.

After leaving the police station, Cecelia decided and said, “Let’s go to the archives center of Porema.”

“OK!”

Adam immediately drove to the archives center. On the way, Remington received a call from Winger.

After he hung up, Cecelia asked, “How is it? Did Black Hawk reveal anything?”

He replied, “No, he would rather die than confess.”

The result was not surprising. She took a deep breath and said, “Black Hawk is paranoid, so he will not tell the truth. Let’s send him back to bear responsibility for the crimes he committed! He will soon die!”

“I have asked them to send him back to the Cathail Republic and hand him over to Roger.”

It was the best solution. The Cathail Republic police must arrest Black Hawk for the serial murder case to restore peace to society.

After they arrived at the Porema Archives Center, they met the administrator and asked to read the old newspapers decades ago.

The old administrator asked Cecelia who she was and what she wanted to check. After hearing her identity, he looked at her in surprise and asked, “Are you Cassie’s granddaughter?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I know your grandma!”

When he smiled, she found he had lost all his teeth. His dark bronze skin was wrinkled, and his hair was white. It was rare for her to meet a man who knew her grandmother. So, she said in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to know her.”

“It was a long time ago. When I met her, she was at your age. She was young and beautiful.”

The administrator seemed fascinated when recalling the past. When he returned to his senses, he smiled, “Do you want to read the news about the Songo family sixty years ago?”

“Yes.”

“You must act quickly. My superior asked me to immediately send all the old newspapers to the scrapyard. A forklift has come to move them. If you act slowly, you won’t find them.”

Cecelia was suspicious to hear this, wondering why they wanted to deal with the old newspapers right after she arrived in Porema. She did not know whether it was just a coincidence. They were still too late when she followed the senior administrator to the old warehouse.

The staff had packed all the old newspapers and squeezed them into blocks. Now, they were moving them onto the forklift.

Seeing this, Cecelia sighed, “It seems we are late!”

The administrator shook his head, “What a pity! But I can do nothing about it.”

Cecelia was not depressed when she looked at him. In her eyes, he was like a living archives center. He knew her grandmother, so he might understand what had happened to the Songo family in the past.

After leaving the warehouse, she didn’t quit and went to the administrator’s residence. He was old. He must need to support himself. Otherwise, he would not have been working at such an age. After all, the salary here was low.

His residence was a small and simple studio. And the light was a little dim. Cecelia did not mind the poor conditions. Instead, she sat on a bamboo chair and cordially chatted with him.

Then, she learned his name was Howard. He had no children. He had worked as an archives center administrator since he was young. After the retirement, he had been re-employed. So, he had worked here all his life.

“Howard, do you remember what happened to the Songo family sixty years ago? When my grandmother went missing, there must be news about it, right?”

Howard nodded, “Yes. When she went missing, the Songo family published a missing person notice in the newspapers.”

“Were you familiar with her before she disappeared?”

“Not really. She often came here to read newspapers, so I have talked with her.”

Howard was a little shy when he talked about the past. Back then, Cassie had been a wealthy young lady, while he had been a nobody. So, he had only dared to admire her from afar.

“Can you tell me more about the Songo family? What was the Songo family like before my grandmother disappeared? What happened?”

“Well, I can’t talk about such things!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why not?”

“Those who wrote county chronicles or novels about the Songo family mysteriously died. It is said they were cursed. Therefore, few people in Porema dare to discuss the Songo family’s past. What’s more, I don’t know much about it!”

Cecelia was shocked to hear this and became more curious. Was it a curse? People even dared not to talk about it.

No matter how she asked, Howard refused to say anything more. So, she could say, “Thank you for telling me so many things. I’m leaving. Please accept these things. They are a token of my gratitude!”

Adam and Remington had returned with some food and daily necessities and placed them on the ground.

“I can’t accept them!”

Howard had never expected her to give him so many gifts after he chatted with her. So, he felt grateful.

“It’s a token of my gratitude. Howard, take care. Goodbye!”

After they left, Howard discovered a roll of cash hidden in the fruit basket. Then, his eyes turned red with emotion. No one had ever cared for him like this because he was a dying older man. So, he felt warm in his heart.

He hurriedly chased after them and shouted, “Wait, girl!”

Cecelia stopped her steps, turned around, and looked at him.

“You are as kind-hearted as your grandmother.”

He was moved. After wiping his tears, he said, “I don’t know where your grandmother went. But I know another person disappeared together with her then.”

Cecelia asked in surprise, “Who?”
