Gloria was quite sure about what she saw that day and kept telling Everly.
"I was too nervous at that time and memorized some details. But I have been thinking these two days that the man in black is the key to finding Edmond. Hurry up to tell your brother or Maverick."
Everly thought that Gloria was just thinking too much.
But at this critical moment, she also believes that she could not let go of any clues.
Everly wanted to call Maverick first. However, it was dark in Maverick's time zone. Maverick was busy these days and must be tired, so she called Hendrix first.
Hendrix and Maverick had carried out a full-scale scout in the country, but there was still no clue except for the fingerprint.
Therefore, hearing what Gloria had said, Hendrix contacted the police right away.
However, it was hard to find out the so-called man in black.
Gloria seemed to trigger her memories at this time. In the next few hours, she told Everly more than once, "I am sure that person is not Chinese. He was heavily muscled, which is different from the Chinese. Maverick has gone abroad to find Edmond. Have you made enemies abroad?"
...
But they were all Gloria's consumptions.
She could not memorize who would take Edmond away now.
All she could do was trying to recall from her blurry memory.
Though her words sound unreasonable, it reminded Everly of something.
She thought of the most crucial guy, Jack.
She didn't pay much attention to Jack's text messages and his words even at the last time they met. But now it seemed to have some relations to Edmond's loss. Was it just a coincidence?
At that time, Jack had told her more than once.
Although she couldn't memorize his words clearly and all the text messages had been deleted, Everly could still remember the general meaning of not telling others about Edmond.
Thinking of this, Everly immediately took out her phone. She called the phone number in which she contacted Jack last time but it was no longer in service.
Everly was a little nervous and confused. She might have forgotten about Jack for a long time and didn't know what he was doing right now.
Everly had an American phone number of Jack's working place. She called the number and asked about Jack's current situation.
She used to be Jack's Chinese wife in name because at that time she had to stay in America with Edmond.
Hendrix, who had been busy these days, touched his chin and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have neglected such an important clue. Did Jack give you some documents for the divorce? His personal information must be on it. Give them to me. I will get someone to find out more details."
Everly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and quickly found the documents and gave them all to Hendrix. Only then did Everly think of calling Maverick.
However, it happened that Maverick called her at this time.
Everly hurriedly picked up the phone.
She wanted to tell him about Jack as soon as possible, but Maverick spoke first, "Everly, how are you feeling? We will get some clues soon."
It seemed that he didn't get more information.
However, Everly had a very strong feeling that Edmond's getting lost might have something to do with Jack and the words he had said before.
"I'm fine." Everly's voice was a little hoarse but became much calmer, "Today, I suddenly thought of a guy... Well, my husband in name when I was in America. He came to C City to bring me some documents and said something strange to me."
Everly said briefly about Jack and concluded, "I was wondering if he has some relations with this matter since you believe that it has nothing to do with Zane, the Kahl family, and the Rice family. I've just contacted Jack's colleagues in America. They said that some time ago, an Italian went there to look for Jack. Now that you are in Italy, I don't think it's a coincidence.
Maverick fell silent for a long time.
However, Everly felt that it was quite reasonable, "Maverick, find Jack. I have already asked Hendrix to look for him."
