Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Chapter 469: Leo Quinn

The abandoned reservoir unearthed a horrifying answer.

Due to the murky water, draining the reservoir was a massive undertaking that continued until the early hours of the morning.

After uncovering bones, no one dared to relax. Once the reservoir was completely drained, they found more than a dozen identical packages amidst the stench.

Nancy Shea didn’t dare move or leave throughout the entire process. She was in a daze for hours, not even responding to the police who called out for her to eat.

Upon closer inspection, you would notice her frail body trembling slightly.

She had likely already anticipated the grueso state of the body.

The bones in over a dozen packages were sent to the police station for forensic examination and reconstruction. Nancy Shea’s body ultimately couldn’t withstand it and she fainted in the middle of the night.

When she awoke in the hospital, she was faced with the serious expressions of the police officers.

"Miss Shea, we’ve identified the skeletal remains. Based on DNA comparison, we discovered he was called Leo Quinn, a person from your village 23 years ago."

Nancy Shea’s face turned as white as a sheet.

She looked as if she might faint again at any mont, making people suspect she was on the verge of collapse.

"L...Leo..."

As tears fell, her mories seed to revert to past tis.

Back then, Nancy Shea was already a singer with an album to her na. The market response was positive, and everyone could foresee a bright future for her.

Leo Quinn was her childhood playmate. They grew up together and were closer than most siblings.

There was also an unspoken feeling between them; she liked Leo, and Leo liked her.

Unfortunately, they were both still young at the ti and never expressed their feelings.

Nancy Shea entered the entertainnt industry, and Leo, despite everyone’s confusion, beca her assistant and half-manager. However, the good tis didn’t last long. Leo disappeared during a visit back to their hotown with Nancy Shea.

The whole village, including people from neighboring villages, searched for him for three days and nights. Even experienced swimrs explored the reservoir at the ti, but they still couldn’t find the missing Leo.

He vanished without a trace, gone overnight.

This incident beca a huge shadow over Nancy Shea’s heart.

Over the years, she tried many ways to find out what happened to Leo.

But all efforts were in vain.

Until today...

"We’ve also checked the police report from back then, which does prove you searched for Leo at the ti. But, Miss Shea, how do you explain suddenly knowing Leo’s whereabouts now?"

After more than two decades, Nancy Shea suddenly returned to her hotown and found Leo’s skeletal remains. Either a murderer inford her, or soone in the know tipped her off.

Nancy Shea lowered her head, tears streaming down. At this mont, she felt beyond grief. She refused to say more, only tremblingly replying, "I don’t know. I was just speculating. I couldn’t find him back then. Now that I’ve returned, I still don’t believe he would have gone far, so I took a chance."

The police, of course, didn’t believe her explanation.

Her sudden return and direct search in the reservoir clearly indicated she was inford by soone.

Unfortunately, Nancy Shea’s ntal state was poor at the mont. If she remained silent, they couldn’t force an interrogation.

Currently, the most crucial thing is to investigate who killed Leo Quinn back then.

In the past, Nancy Shea’s hotown was still a village, a sizable one with at least several hundred people. Now, over twenty years later, most have moved away. This makes the search difficult, and Nancy Shea is rely a temporary lead.
