"I made a trip to Carol's place, sprayed Luminol in the living room and backyard, and caught a hint of


fluorescence."


"You mean someone was hurt? Is it severe?" Clark knew what Luminol was, and his heart clenched at


the thought.


"We're not sure whose blood it is yet. We'll need to run some tests."


Arabella explained, "I sprayed the Luminol, and swabbed some of the glowing dirt and dust with a


cotton swab. We'll have the results soon. Also, I found strands of hair in both Carol's and her parents’


rooms. There were also nail clippings under the sofa and in corners. I've collected them all."


The nails and hair could be used for DNA extraction, but it might not be successful if too much time had


passed.


Once the blood test results were back, they could compare the DNA to see if the blood was theirs.


If it was, it meant that they had been injured at home, with the living room being the primary crime


scene and the backyard the secondary.


But if it wasn't.


Clark's heart clenched tightly. How did Carol's parents get wrapped up in this? What else was hidden


behind this situation?


"Oh right, boss, here are the hairs from the people inside.” Jack handed Arabella a few transparent


small bags, and there were also traces of blood.


"How many did you pluck?” Arabella took the bag. Blood and hair could be used for DNA testing.


The blood found in Carol's living room and backyard could also possibly belong to the four people


inside.


Arabella then took out another transparent bag from her backpack.


Inside was just a bit of powder. If they didn't look closely, they might think the bag was empty.


"What's this?" Clark asked again.


"This was found in the Vitamin C bottle in Carol's room."


Jack was a little puzzled, "Isn't Vitamin C usually in pill form? Why is it powdered?"


"This isn't Vitamin C." Arabella explained, then looked at Clark, "One of the components in this powder


is Aetherbloom."


Aetherbloom?


Now, Clark couldn't keep his cool. His heart felt like it was being squeezed. The pain was unbearable.


"What the heck is Aetherbloom?" Jack, who had been by the boss's side for many years, had never


heard of it. But it didn't seem like a good thing judging from Clark's reaction.


Clark knew that Aetherbloom was a potent poison, "You're saying that Carol ingested poison? Is she


possibly gone?"


"Not necessarily.’ Arabella spoke softly, "Aetherbloom can also be used in medicine. It depends on


what the other components are.


Clark, don't worry too much. Jack, take Clark to rest for a bit. I'm heading to the lab."


“Right.” Jack gestured, "Clark, this way, please."


Clark didn't know how he managed to walk into the main building.


It was luxurious, just as fancy as the Reflections Villa, but he had no heart to appreciate the decor and


trinkets. All he could think about was what his sister had said.


Jack came out in a change of clothes, carrying an assortment of food and drinks.


"Clark, have something to eat first, or maybe a cup of coffee. I'm telling you, this coffee is usually only


for our boss. No one else gets to enjoy it."


Jack sniffed the aroma of the coffee in the air. It was so fragrant.
