Chapter 553 Scapegoat

"I...I want to think..."

Zoe's reaction was a little strange.

She clearly knew that her secret message was given to her by someone, but she was unable to determine the other person's name and appearance.

"Have you never seen that person?" Victor frowned.

Zoe pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, it's not...I can't remember it. His face was very blurry at the time."

This girl has such a big heart that she has undue trust in a stranger.

However, even though she couldn't remember the person's name or appearance, she didn't find anything.

"I remember what he said... there are gaps in everything..."

"There are cracks in everything?" Victor reminded.

Zoe nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, that's it!"

As expected, he is a member of the Menshu Wound Association...

Victor felt confident, but he did not fully trust the girl's confession.

The change of stance is the same. Will the people in that organization trust a thief in the market and assign her such an important task?

Victor brought the issue to the table and asked her, "Did you get into White Crown through the cleaning company?"

Zoe gave a definite answer to this: "Yes..."

Victor chased and asked: "Miria Lilith, do you know her?"

"who?"

Zoe looked confused, but it didn't look like she was lying.

Victor immediately understood that the woman probably did not reveal her identity and name to Zoe.

"Okay, let's put it another way. You were arranged to join that cleaning company by a lady?"

Zoe continued to nod affirmatively.

"Do you know the relationship between that lady and the guy who sent you the secret message?"

"I guess... they are accomplices?"

"I also know that they are accomplices, but what I want to know is, which one of them is the mastermind behind your plan to steal the president?"

Zoe was silent for a moment and answered firmly: "It was the first man. He asked me to steal Mr. President's key, and then go to that room to take away the contents."

This confession made Victor keenly aware of the strange points, so he then asked: "Did you also take the key to Stanford?"

"Who is Stanford?" Zoe once again showed her ignorance.

"Stanford Vandersel, he is the head of security at Ebony Tower." Victor said seriously, and then asked, "You don't know Stanford?"

"No...never heard of this guy."

"Besides the President, have you ever stolen from a bald man?"

"No...no..."

"But you need two keys to open that door. Mr. President only has one key. Where did you get the other one?"

"I...I don't know, when I arrived at the door, I found that half of the key was already on the door..."

Victor stood up with his hands on the table and stared into Zoe's eyes.

"Didn't you see anyone else in the room when you were doing it?"

"No...no..." Zoe was startled by his actions.

"What happened next? Did you enter the secret hotel and take out the things?"

"Secret place?" Zoe was full of surprise as if hearing this term for the first time.

The more Victor interrogated her, the more questions he found, and he felt as if he had fallen into a trap and been misled by the mastermind behind the scenes.

"How could you steal the president's speech plan without entering the secret hotel?" he asked the girl.

Zoe hurriedly explained: "I...I just took the things on the shelf at the back. There were a few stacks of papers in them. That's all he asked me to do...Isn't the presidential plan you mentioned not in it?"

Victor's expression was stunned. He recalled what he saw in that room, but he didn't see any shelves or anything like that.

Things became more and more weird. As soon as Victor opened his mouth, Zoe started talking to herself.

"I followed that person's instructions, stole those things, and then left..."

Wait a moment!

Victor interrupted her: "Didn't you give the key back?"

Zoe shook her head hurriedly: "No, I left it on the door when I left..."

Damn it?

Victor cursed secretly in his mind.

Although he felt from the beginning that Zoe was a pawn used by the Gate Threshold Wound Club, he did not expect that the opponent turned out to be an extremely white pawn, providing almost no effective clues about the people behind the scenes.

After thinking about it for a while, Victor guessed the other party's purpose of doing this.

They deliberately sent a secret copy of the nocturnal photos to Zoe, secretly training her to become the scapegoat for the next plan.

Then he asked Miria to arrange for her to join the cleaning company, act separately from them, steal the keys from the President and Stanford, and finally let her steal the unimportant documents stored in the room and leave the keys on the door for the real convenience.

A thief goes in to steal the president's plans...

In this way, while the White Crown is tracking down, it will be discovered that the cleaning company of Wandering Scavenger has serious suspicions, thus locking in Zoe, who worked for a short period of time and then resigned...

Then she was listed as a target suspect for interrogation, wasting a lot of time and creating opportunities for those guys to cause trouble...

Just like now, after interrogating Zoe, Victor found that the clues were broken with her, because Zoe neither saw clearly what the guy who gave him the secret message looked like, nor did he know where the group of people was hiding...



Victor turned his back with a solemn expression, holding his chin and thinking about how to find a breakthrough.

At this time Zoe spoke again.

"Well...I remembered something..."

Victor turned sideways and looked at the girl's face.

Zoe said anxiously: "That person...he said that this is just the first sale, and there will be another thing that I need to do next, and he will give me double the previous remuneration."

oh?

Victor narrowed his eyes.

"So, they still have some use for you..."

If Zoe is not caught, execute the initial plan, and once the scapegoat successfully delays the police and the White Crown, they execute the backup plan.

do you mean this?

Victor wasn't sure.

"Did they say something else? What did they need you to do?"

“No…” Zoe shook her head, “They asked me to find a way to return the stolen things to the cleaning company, and my reward would be there… But when I was about to get it, I found that the place had been sealed.

…”

In order to get her reward, the girl would snoop outside the cleaning company from time to time. It was precisely because of this that Victor discovered her through the glass of the window.

"Some clues have been connected..." Victor nodded slightly, "It's not like we found nothing..."

After saying that, he walked to the girl's side and squinted at her side face.

The other party's body trembled slightly, and Victor immediately asked her: "Where did you meet the guy who sent you the secret message, and the lady who arranged for you to join the cleaning company?"
