How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?"

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway.

I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense.
