Captain Smith opened the package, and inside was only the necklace my father gave me. Mom looked down and cursed: "How boring! Isn't this just her childish prank? You actually took it seriously? See? You said I treated her badly, and now she just casually threw the necklace that Mr. Thomas gave her before he died." "I really did something wrong in my previous life, and I gave birth to this debt collector in this life!"

Captain Smith picked up the necklace with a handmade knife, his face full of caution and suspicion. "I always feel that something is wrong. Lucy Thomas treasures all of Mr. Thomas 's relics, and I have never seen her take off this necklace. Call her again and ask." Mom was so annoyed by hearing my name several times that she immediately refused without thinking: "I said it was her prank! If you have time, why don't you go check the clues of the deceased? Why waste time here?"

As soon as she finished speaking , her mobile phone rang with a message tone. The moment she saw the screen, Mom was so scared that she almost threw the phone away. "This lunatic!" Captain Smith hurriedly took the phone over. The photo was the express delivery in front of them, and the express delivery was placed on the ground covered with blood. Captain Smith pursed his lips and thought. But my mother snatched the phone in the next second and called me again. But my phone had been thrown away by the murderer long ago. After three times in a row, my mother's patience ran out.

She found my avatar on the social software, clicked it and sent more than a dozen voice messages in a row: " Lucy Thomas ! If you don't show up, don't show up in front of me in this life!" "Don't blame me for calling the police if you play this kind of prank again! How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Why don't you just die outside? I really regret giving birth to you! If I had known that today, I should have strangled you to death when you were born!" Mom's chest rose and fell violently, and she breathed heavily. She was almost angry with me to the point of losing her mind.

But mom, these are really not my doing. I will never show up again in the future... Captain Smith stood aside and witnessed the whole process of my mother not being able to contact me. His brows became tighter and tighter, and his face was gloomy. After a moment, he said solemnly: " Jane , you have participated in countless major cases. You should not be blinded by hatred and lose your reason."

Mom glared at him and was about to refute when Lily Thomas called. Her attitude softened instantly. "Baby, why did you think of calling mom? Do you miss mom? Mom will be home soon." After hanging up the phone, mom said expressionlessly: "Since you think I have lost my mind in this case, the rest is up to you. Anyway, I have completed the work I should complete. The rest has nothing to do with me."

Hearing what my mother said, Captain Smith's eyes were full of disappointment. When my mother picked up her bag and turned to go out, she left a sentence: "My judgment is never wrong. I know what Lucy Thomas is like. I know what you mean, but for a person like her, she might as well kill someone else!"

Hearing her stubbornness, Captain Smith was completely disappointed. This time he didn't stop her and watched my mother leave. I was full of apologies to him, but I could only follow my mother out uncontrollably. After getting in the car, my mother lowered her head and quickly sent a few messages. When she looked up again, there was no anger in her eyes. She even hummed a song in the car, and her face was full of expectations. I looked at my mother in confusion, and my heart unconsciously rose with bitterness...

Soon , I knew what she was looking forward to. After the car was parked on the side of the road, my mother turned around and went into the cake shop. "Hello, I'm here to pick up the cake I just ordered for my daughter." The waiter asked her name before replying: "I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Generally, cakes are ordered five hours in advance, and they are not ready yet. How about you go and do other things first?"

Mom is always very patient when it comes to Lily Thomas. She smiled gently and said, "Let me give you my phone number. Call me when you're ready. I'll go to the mall behind first." Mom never liked shopping before. Maybe ten years can really change a person... I was floating behind Mom, feeling numb with heartache. It wasn't until she stopped at the door of the jewelry store that I realized she hadn't changed. Mom still doesn't like shopping now. She just wants to buy gifts for Lily Thomas...
