Chapter 311
Lee couldn’t help but believe in magic at that point.
When he was young, he didn’t believe in these things. After years of handling cases, he believed in them more and more. What made him truly believe was when he met Odalys.
The night he dug up the bodies at her direction, he had nightmares,
“You’re not meant to air, so even if you hadn’t met me, you wouldn’t have died, dalys whispered, but didn’t finish her sentence
Lee would not have died if he hadn’t met Odalys, bod he would ha
have become a vegetable and spent the rest of his life in bed.
Odalys didn’t want a just and kind police officer to die like this, which was one of the reasons why she offered to come with him.
“You saved my life. Lee whispered.
Neither Francis nor Stellan said anything. They had seen the scene of the Drake family’s car accident with their own eyes. At that time, Odalys’s talisman had saved Stellan’s parents.
“Lee, what happened?” At this time, a police officer rushed over
Seeing that Lee’s car had been crashed and stuck on a rock, the police officer felt that Lee would probably be seriously injured. However, Lee was safe and sound
“Just now, a cat rushed out, and I couldn’t react in time, so I hit the rock on the side. Lee said lightly.
The police looked at the situation inside the car and then at the back of Lee’s hand. Apart from the abrasion on the back of his hand, he couldn’t see any injuries on his body.
“You’re fine after such a serious crash? The police officer was a little surprised
This was the first time he had seen that a victim was safe and sound after a serious car accident.
“Please help me deal with the car. I have something to do” Lee gave some instructions to the police, then turned and got into Stellan’s car.
Fortunately, Stellan drove a large 7–seater SUV, so it wasn’t overloaded when Lee got in
“Mrs. Stewart Lee sat there and looked sideways at Odalys.
The moonlight streamed in from the window, illuminating the side of her face, but it seemed unreal.
“Yes!” Odalys turned her bead to look at him

while. Then, he asked tentatively. “Do you still have the leaves from just now! I will pay for two.”
Odalys was stunned for a while before she realized that he was asking about the pomelo leaves.
She picked the leaf from a random tree, and when she gave it to him, she just drew an invisible talisman on it. Once something happened, the power of the talisman would block the danger for him
What had helped Lee was the energy she injected into the lead, not the leaf itself.
“Why?” Odalys frowned
“To be honest, Lee hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice. “Im a police officer. I’ve worked on too many cases, been in danger, and offended a lot of people. My daughter was kidnapped before.
“Although we live in a society ruled by law and I firmly believe she’ll be fine, Im still worried that she might encounter danger in the future. So Ti like to ask, is this talisman still for sale! I want to buy one for her and my wife each for protection
“Just in case, one day if I offend someone while investigating a case, and they really encounter danger, and I can’t get there in time, maybe, just like tonight, it can save their lives” Lee’s voice was tinged with bitterness.
Not all police officers could have a peaceful end, especially narcotics officers,
1, who faced even greater dangers
Although Lee wasn’t a narcotics officer, many of the cases he investigated involved the privacy of wealthy or powerful people. Especially in this case, he had a hunch that it might lead to someone unexpected

That would put him in danger. He couldn’t guarantee that his child wouldn’t be involved

Perhaps when the perpetrate had no way out, they would resort to desperate measures. If they kertnapped his daughter again, he didn’t know if she would be as lucky as last time to escape
Since fr over the car as soon as Lee finished speaking
Freya and Selah subconsciously turned their heads to look at Odalys.
Odalys remained silent for a long moment, seemingly lost in thought. Lee’s lips twitched, but he didn’t press her.
At that moment. Stellan slammed on the brakes and pulled over
several police officers were standing ahead Seeing the car, they hurried towards them.
Officer Henry, 1
– you’re finally here?” They sais, out of breath, their expressions strained
Lee quickly got out of the car and walked forward with them. After taking a few steps, he doubled back and said in a low voice. “Mrs. Stewart, would you mind coming with us to take a look?”
“Sure Odalys replied softly.
She followed behind. The police didn’t stop her. It was clear Lee had informed them beforehand.
Under normal circumstances, civilians were not allowed near such scenes, but the police made an exception for them
They walked into a house and saw a makeshift tent erected inside. Ten corpses were laid out beneath it in an arranged formation.
The bodies were mutilated beyond recognition some even dismembered, and all were tightly wrapped.
“If you are afraid, don’t follow me in Odalys tumed her head and said to Francis and the others.
They stood at the door and did not follow, leaving spare for Odalys and the other police officers
“We have placed these bodies in their
rcorresponding positions, but the genders do not much.” The police officer whispered.
The bodies were numbered when they were dug out
But when they were placed, the police felt something was wrong. The bodies didn’t match the formation. After several adjustments, it still felt
Mr. Stewart, do you think this arrangement is correct? Or have we misplaced them” Lee quickly asked in a low voice.
Odalys stood there with her handi behind her back.
The moment she saw everyone at the scene, she turned to the door and said. “Francis close the door.”
“Okay” Francis immediately responded, took two

In an instant, the entire tent fell silent. Apart from their breathing, no one dared
Odalys took a bottle out of her bag, opened it, looked around at them, and said, “If you’re scared, you can leave now”
“We’re not afraid they said quickly
Odalys raised her eyebrows and looked at Freya and the others. They nodded
Then, Odalys lifted the bottle, dipped a pomelo leaf into the water, and flicked it at them. The water dropl

la coolness on their eyes. The coolness was so comfortable that they let out a muttled groan.
A person asked. “What kind of water is this? It’s so cool
Another asked, “It’s cold and refreshing. My eyes feel very comfortable”
Someone said. “I think my nearsightedness is gone?”
They rubbed their eyes in dabelief, feeling that their son had changed after the water droplets touched their eyelash.
Odalys watched their reactions but didn’t say anything. Instead, she lit a talisman. As the flame ignited, the entire lent was instantly plunged into

Only the burning talisman paper flickered with flames.
