On board the search and rescue vessel, Adam Jones stood at the bow, staring blankly at the part of the sea where Elly Campbell had fallen overboard, lost in thought.
The bodies of those three traffic policemen had been found around here. Where could Elly have been swept to after falling overboard?
He had checked the weather forecast for that day; the currents weren't strong. Even if they were, it wasn't possible for only Elly to be washed away.
Elly must have been rescued by someone.
Adam Jones suddenly looked up with a glimmer of faint hope in his eyes again.
The person who rescued Elly couldn't possibly have missed the missing person notice, nor could they be entirely unaware of the news, not knowing that the Jones Family had been searching for her.
So, that person must have had another motive.
Adam Jones' pupils darkened, staring at the calm sea without uttering a word.
"Let's head back."
