After hanging up the phone, Joshua immediately picked up his laptop.
Sure enough, there was an email from Luke sitting in his inbox.
Joshua clicked it open with a frown.
The contents of the email shocked Joshua s o much that he was stunned.
There were dozens of photos that Luke had taken with his phone, all of them pictures o f Todd's personal account book.
It was surprising to Joshua that a cruel, merciless man like Todd would secretly have a religious heart.
He had been recording all the crimes he had committed in this book and had written the reason why he had recorded them on the final page.
He had hoped that after cleansing himself o f his sins, he would be able to show this book to God so that the innocent people he had killed would be able to rest in peace.
Joshua sneered, finding this amusing.
The person who had killed Todd probably did not think he would record all his crimes into a book for a silly reason like this.
Otherwise, this book would not have ended up in Luke's hands, who had only arrived a t the scene after Todd was murdered.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and flipped through the rest of the pictures.
Initially, he had thought the first crime recorded in Todd's book would be Colin Landry's car accident.
After all, according to Lucas’ investigation, killing Colin Landry was probably Todd's first murder, and he had never committed any crime before this.
However, to his surprise...
The first incident recorded on the first page was not Colin Landry's car accident at all.
Instead, it was the record of being hired by someone named 'Star' to torture and beat a woman until she was barely alive.
This was Todd's first instance of committing a crime, and because of this, h e had kept a detailed account of this incident.
He had even complained in his rantings that this person named Star was so cruel that they even requested him to keep this woman alive until he broke all the bones in
her body and mutilated her face so badly that it was barely recognizable before finally killing her.
After that. Star never appeared again.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and flipped to the last account in Todd's diary.
His guess was correct; the last crime recorded in Todd's book was the killing of
Heather Landry.
However, the person who had hired him to do so was not Star, but instead, Charlotte.
After scouring through the photos one more time, Joshua closed his laptop, leaned against the sofa, and closed his eyes.
Charlotte had been busy this whole day. From the moment she beat Roanne up until sending her into imprisonment in the abandoned warehouse...she had been busy dealing with Roanne the entire day.
Therefore, the person who had killed Todd was unlikely to be Charlotte at all.
According to Todd's records, even though the rest of his employers had indeed hired him to commit other heinous crimes, none of them were so horrifying that they needed to kill him to prevent the truth from
getting out.
