“Thank you!” Stanley suppressed his inner excitement as he gripped the mouse.
“You two are so good together, Mr. Fox. How did you end up fighting? You two were so obviously deeply in love with each other, in your eyes and hearts. You should be more understanding of each other and be more tolerant. Your wife loves you very much!” The shop owner couldn’t bear seeing couples separate.
Stanley held the mouse, capturing the figure that would surely appear on the surveillance. “Do you still remember what time you met her?”

He must find her!
“I gave your wife a photo album yesterday, Mr. Fox, and she took a picture with me,” the shop owner said, taking out her phone.

It was his Melinda!
She left the photo studio at exactly 9.30PM and hailed a cab, which drove onovelxo.com fast updateff to the left.
The license plate was too far to be seen clearly, but he could make out the car model.

“We found her, Mr. Fox!” his subordinate reported excitedly. “Mrs. Fox checked into Paradise Bay Hotel in the Financial District, but there’s no check-in record. It has been deliberately erased.”
“Is she still there?”
This was the most exhilarating news Stanley had heard. “Good, I got it!”
