When the Book Traveling Girl Meets the Reborn Girl
Chapter 256 A New Angle
Sienna knew exactly where Matheo and those two were off enjoying themselves.
While they were off vacationing, there was no way she was just going to sit around and watch.
So she’d prepared a little “surprise” for their trip–not too big, hot too small.
Of course, Sienna could have–staged a full–blown accident and ended their lives….
But there was no need for that.
At least not yet. She wasn’t ready to stain herself with their filthy blood.
A little scare would be enough.
A seemingly out–of–control SUV. A near–accident. And they were already falling apart from fear….
Pretty fragile, huh.
Sienna let out a cold, mocking snort and turned her attention back to the documents on her desk.

“Achoo!”
Jean suddenly sneezed.
She rubbed the tip of her nose and let out a long breath
Feels like someone’s talking about me behind my back.
“What’s wrong?” Jolene asked with concern from the side. “You catching a cold?”
Jean quickly shook her head. “I’m fine.”
The two of them were at Jolene’s law office.
Asher’s case required sorting through and investigating a lot of evidence.
Only they could handle it.
The police had already concluded the surveillance footage was clean–but both Jean and Jolene firmly believed Thomas had tampered with it.
They were trying to reconstruct what really happened,
For the past few days, they’d been holed up in the office, trying every method they could think of.
But-
“It’s no use,” Jolene sighed softly, pulling her hand away from the mouse.
Jean gave a small, helpless smile and shook her head.

“Then we’ll have to change our approach.”

That surveillance footage likely contained crucial evidence. Naturally, Thomas would’ve gone to great lengths to alter it and cover his tracks.
The fact they couldn’t restore it wasn’t exactly a surprise.
“No matter what, I’ll do my best to help your friend clear his name,” Jolene said when she noticed Jean falling silent.
Jean smiled. “Thanks for everything.”
Jean left the office alone.
Jolene had offered to drive her home, but Jean declined
She wanted to visit a place by herself.
Jean took the subway and went alone to the so–called “crime scene”
Tri Street.
It was her first time here.
During the day, Tri Street looked no different from any other busy street–bustling, loud, full of people.
Jean weaved through the crowd, casually walking along the road.
Many of the stores lining the street had surveillance cameras. Most of their footage had already been collected and reviewed over and over again.
This time, Jean wasn’t here for what she had already seen.
She was here to find what had been missed.
You never know.
When someone hits a dead end, it doesn’t help to keep slamming against the wall. Sometimes, you have to step out, take a walk, and shift your perspective.
And just like that-
Jean suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes freezing on something.
Her gaze landed on a run–down little general store.
The shopfront was shabby and worn. Inside, the cluttered merchandise had an oddly old–fashioned feel to
- it.
Jean studied the storefront carefully. Her gut told her this place should have had surveillance.
But from what she could see now, there weren’t any
visible cameras.

If only this place had surve lance.
The shop was in a key location.
Jean had watched enough footage to roughly pinpointhe spot where Thomas and the girl had that physical altercation–the part of the street where footage was mysteriously missing.
This store was right in that zone.
