Chapter 705 A Homicide
The male police officer introduced himself, saying, “Hello, I’m Benjamin. There
was a homicide just next to your room a moment ago. Since you might have
been the last person to see them alive, we’d like to ask you some questions.”
“What?” Charlotte looked at Benjamin in utter shock. “How is that possible?”
She had just spoken to the couple before the auction began. It was a short
auction, and now there was a crime?
Seeing Charlotte’s genuine shock, and with a gentler demeanor, Benjamin
explained, “After you left, the couple resumed their argument and requested the

waiter to wait outside. The waiter had no choice but to comply with their
request.”
In other words, when the couple died, there should have only been the two of
them in the private room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if there had been previous conflicts, Charlotte couldn’t fathom how two
living people could lose their lives in a short time. After answering the police’s
questions somewhat dazedly, she returned to her private room.
By this time, the auction was almost coming to an end.
Even on the way back, Charlotte still couldn’t believe that someone would be
detained in the private room next door, and they didn’t hear anything.
“Mom, are you okay?” Ben noticed that Charlotte’s mood was off and looked at
her with concern.
Charlotte shook her head, not intending to tell the two children about the
frightening incident next door.
“How about we go to the amusement park?” Anna suggested excitedly. Bexonia
had the world’s largest amusement park, which was almost every child’s dream
destination.
Ben and Anna looked at Charlotte with pleading eyes, and Charlotte playfully
pinched their noses. “Of course, we can. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the amusement
park together.”
Ben and Anna exchanged glances and cheered together. They didn’t expect
Charlotte to agree so readily. Happiness had come too suddenly.
Back at the hotel, Ben and Anna immediately started preparing the things they
would need for their outing the next day. Charlotte watched as they stuffed their
backpacks with all sorts of random items, feeling both exasperated and amused.
“We don’t need a tent in the amusement park.” Finally, Charlotte couldn’t resist
stopping them when Anna attempted to squeeze a tent into her backpack.
“You two go rest now, and when you wake up, we’ll go to the amusement park.”
This statement filled them with excitement. They rushed to their respective
bedrooms and fell asleep in no time.
Joe watched the two quirky children helplessly and sincerely said, “You’ve really
been a handful.”
Early the next morning, Joe and Charlotte changed into casual outfits and, with
Ben and Anna, headed to the amusement park.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe amusement park was crowded, and Charlotte and Joe had to hold their two
children tightly, constantly reminding them not to wander off.
After several rides on the carousel and roller coaster, Ben and Anna finally grew
tired of them.
Anna excitedly pointed ahead, saying, “I want to go there!”
Charlotte followed her pointing finger and saw a huge skull hanging in the air
with a pitch-black cave beneath it, looking quite spooky.
Charlotte looked at Ben and Anna in disbelief. “That’s a haunted house! Are you
sure you want to go in?”
She thought the two kids would be scared, but to her surprise, they nodded
enthusiastically. “Of course!”
Charlotte and Joe led the two children to the haunted house and carefully read
the information board outside.
Unlike ordinary haunted houses, this one didn’t have NPCs hiding in the dark to
scare people deliberately. Instead, it featured interconnected chambers and
various actors playing fierce monsters.
Overall, it wasn’t too scary and seemed suitable for children to enjoy together.
Seeing Ben and Anna eager to give it a try, Charlotte reluctantly agreed
