My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 815

It rarely snowed in Hanlusia City, but it was always drizzling, making it hard to walk on the muddy ground in the suburbs.

The police had already closed off the area. As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the factory, a middle-aged man in uniform came out to greet us.

Looking at Charles, he said, "Master Reid, you're finally here. We've been looking everywhere for the past two days. All the traffic routes in Hanlusia City have been severely guarded. We've swept through all the factories in Hanlusia City since yesterday but we couldn't find the child, but we found a white puppy. Go in and take a look first. See if it's the one which the child was walking when she got lost."

Charles nodded his head and didn't say anything else. He contemplated as he walked. My legs were wobbling as I panicked on the inside.

Everything in the factory was old and worn out. It seemed to be a place that had been abandoned for a long time.

We hurriedly followed the police into the inner part of the factory. There were a lot of old things around. Although precautions had already been made, lots of parts still seemed as though they were about to crumble apart.

"How did you find the puppy?" Hendrix asked, glancing around the old factory.

The leader of the men noted the impressive look on his face and replied, "We found a lot of footprints in one of our search and rescue operations, hence we followed them here."

Hendrix nodded. "It hasn't been long since the rain started. We can continue to track the footprints nearby," he replied.

The leader shook his head and said with a sigh, "That was what we thought at first, but after we found the footprints, a lot of stray dogs appeared in the vicinity. In addition to the rain, the footprints were basically destroyed. Most of the areas around here are farmlands, it's not easy to investigate."

After entering the factory, the leader looked at Charles and said, "Master Reid, take a look. It's this one. Is it the puppy that was with the child when she got lost?"

Charles naturally failed to recognize Snowball. He turned to me and said, "Arianna, come take a look."

My legs were a little weak. Ever since I had entered the scene, my whole body had begun to

tremble.

Seeing the lifeless Snowball lying on the ground, it felt as though all my strength had been drained from my body in an instant, and I collapsed.

Fortunately, Hendrix was quick to notice and held me in his arms. Looking at Snowball, he frowned and said, "This dog was with Anne."

After that, he put me on a chair and patted my hand as he consoled me, "Don't worry, no news is the best news. Finding Snowball means that we will soon find Anne."

I pursed my lips as my tears streamed out of control. I sobbed, "Will they hurt Anne?"

He shook his head and looked at me firmly, reassuring me, "Believe me, no one can hurt Anne."

After comforting me, he got up and walked to Snowball's body, glancing at it.

The forensic doctor next to him said, "The dog was poisoned, and it died no more than 12 hours ago." Aaron looked around and asked the leader again, "Are there any surveillance cameras nearby?"

"This place has been abandoned for many years. There couldn't possibly be any surveillance cameras."

Looking at Snowball who was on the ground, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes at Josiah.

I couldn't help feeling a bitter cold inside of me.

Listening to the group of people discussing among themselves for a while, I got up and refused to continue listening. I glanced at the silent Hendrix, then turned around and left.

I sat in the car for a while before Aaron and Charles came back. They got into the car and saw me staring blankly into the distance.

Aaron thought that I was worried about Anne, hence he looked at me and comforted me, saying, "Don't worry too much, if we can find Snowball, the police should soon find Anne too."

I pursed my lips and raised my eyes to look at him. "Perhaps we're searching in the wrong direction," I said.

Startled, he looked at me and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?"
