Chương 19: At the morgue

Sylvester recounted his past week, and he then replied, "The owner of the Frontier Opera House sent me and my crew to Corby to help another opera house. I spoke to my mother when I was in the lodge."

"And what did you talk about? Did she mention anyone following her? Anyone who might have threatened her?" Addison pressed on.

Sylvester shook his head solemnly before speaking, "We were discussing our plans for New Year's Eve. She mentioned that she was going to help one of her neighbours who wanted to go out and needed someone to look after their child. She never hinted at anything suspicious or threatening. But there is something."

"Yes, Mr. Crowley?" Addison questioned, his interest piqued.

"Over the past few months, I've had this feeling like I'm being followed. There have been break-ins at my apartment, and I even reported it to the parish house," Sylvester explained, noticing the detective's pause in writing.
