Jim froze, unable to believe his ears. He instinctively inched closer to Joshua and whispered, “Are you saying that… Malcolm kept some of the poison with which he was instructed to kill Bonnie and even stashed it somewhere?”
Joshua nodded, staring out in the direction in front of him.
He persistently prodded and provoked Malcolm so he would finally relent and hand over the poison. Joshua had mentioned that he did not need Malcolm to expose the identity of the mastermind. That was because both he and Jim were capable of finding out who this person was eventually.
Not only that, but he even had a suspicion as to who it was already.
Nonetheless, it was not enough to find this person.
As Malcolm said, this person had minimal contact with him, and even if they managed to find who it was, it would be hard to pin it on her because she had plenty of reasons and evidence that would help her evade responsibility.
Because of this, Joshua had to find even more evidence to prove her crime.
Soon, the car arrived at a small field located behind Quinn Mansion.
Lucas helped a restrained Malcolm out of the car. “It‘s… It‘s right under this tree.” Malcolm pointed at a tree on the outskirts of the field and said, “Can you… Can you leave a little bit just for me? I still want to…” “What do you want to do with it?” Joshua strode over and kicked Malcolm onto the ground. “Are you going to use it to kill someone else, or are you planning to use it to threaten the person who instructed you to kill Bonnie? Well, in your dreams!
“I won‘t allow you to hurt another person, and as for your other plan… “Don‘t you know that as soon as we get our hands on the poison and run an analysis on the contents, we‘ll be able to find this person’s true identity, and she‘ll be in deep shit? Are you sure she‘ll be able to protect you then?” The color drained from Malcolm‘s face upon hearing this. He lowered his head and did not dare to say another word. Jim was right. That woman was no longer capable of protecting him, so who else could he go to? At this rate, he had no one else to rely on…except for Thomas.
