Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Chapter 482: This Is the Symbol of the Star Palace Sect

Thea Shaw understood Nancy Shea’s thoughts.

If her guess was correct, Nancy Shea’s marriage to Alex Sherman back then might have just been a marriage of convenience.

She herself might not have much affection for Alex Sherman, and consequently, not much for her daughter, June Sherman, either.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible for June Sherman’s situation to be kept so well hidden from Nancy Shea, with the father engaging the daughter in heinous deeds unbeknownst to Nancy Shea. This, in turn, indirectly proves that Nancy Shea doesn’t care much about June Sherman.

As a result, even now when the incident has occurred, she doesn’t visit June Sherman.

She may not be a good mother, but since the events that befell her haven’t been fully revealed, Thea Shaw won’t rashly judge a person.

"Miss Shea, apart from offering my condolences, I don’t have any other ways to comfort you," Thea Shaw sighed softly. "I just want to ask if you’ve identified any other information from Leo Quinn that perhaps I could help with."

"Leo Quinn was dismbered..."

At the ntion of this, Nancy Shea couldn’t hide her resentnt, but unfortunately, she didn’t even know the killer, didn’t know what kind of person could commit such a cruel act!

Leo Quinn was gentle and kind; who would want to do this?

"He soaked in sewage for too long, and the forensic pathologists couldn’t determine more information, but they speculated that Leo Quinn... died from unbearable pain."

No anesthetics, just like that, dismbering a person alive.

Such cruel and terrifying conduct.

Currently, the identification information wasn’t suitable to tell Nancy Shea, but she had an alibi perfectly matching the thod and timing of the cri, temporarily excluding her from suspicion.

The police still suspected her, but couldn’t prevent her from contacting others.

"However..."

Nancy Shea did have one piece of information: "Among the bones retrieved from Leo Quinn, we found fragnts of talisman paper. We don’t know what materials it was made from, but even after soaking for many years, it hasn’t dissolved; it was just manually torn apart. The police pieced together a symbol, not knowing what it was. I saw it then."

It was this single glance.

Her mory was quite good, and she still recalled the details now.

The symbol was rather complex. Combining Thea Shaw’s words, she instinctively felt sothing was off, so she rembered the symbol, drew it out in her hotel room, took a picture, and sent it to Thea Shaw via WeChat during a call, saying expectantly, "Look at this."

She hoped Thea Shaw could really make sothing out of it, as it would greatly aid in solving Leo Quinn’s case.

Thea Shaw opened WeChat, and while listening to Nancy Shea’s words, she wondered what kind of symbol it could be, one that was placed on a corpse; could it be related to the blurred birth date of the body?

But where would a symbol with such power co from?

However, when she saw the symbol on the corpse, her smile froze instantly.

The symbol was very complex, and even though Nancy Shea had rembered it roughly, couldn’t reproduce it completely, through her drawings of these parts, even if the middle details weren’t clear, Thea Shaw could instantly recognize it.

It was a symbol of the Star Palace Skill.

Sothing she had been studying in Qirenia for thirty years.

A symbol that represented the Star Palace Deduction Skill of Qirenia.

However—she had never seen the aning it represented.

In other words, she had learned the complete deduction skill, but hadn’t learned about this.

Suddenly, Thea Shaw felt a chilling realization looming outward.
