NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40: Chapter 38
Inside the house, some police officers stumbled upon a series of photographs hidden away in a dresser drawer. The first picture showed a smiling young woman and a blonde hair and tanned skin man together, their arms wrapped around each other, their faces lit up with happiness. The next few pictures showed the same couple in various locations around town. It was a stark contrast to the lifeless body in the living room.
But something was off. The woman in the picture was clearly different from the one who was dead on the sofa. Who was she?
As they continued searching the house, the police officers stumbled upon a small box hidden in a secret compartment in one of the walls. They opened it up and discovered a collection of photographs, each one showing a young woman with a wide smile on her face.
However, the photographs told a more sinister story. As they saw another picture of the same woman, she wasn't smiling anymore but had been stabbed, her body covered with blood.
And it was the same for every woman who had been photographied. There was at least 26 different women there.
The women in the pictures were all missing, and the police officers knew that this was no coincidence. They put two and two together and realized that the man in the photographs had been the one responsible for their disappearances.
They collected the photographs to be analyzed. Who was the man in the pictures? Was he the murderer? The investigators would have to examine all the evidence carefully to answer these questions.
One of the officer had been charged to bring the pictures of these women and the man to the local database. With the limited technology at their disposal, it might take some time to get a response, but every second counted. They knew they had to act quickly if they wanted to caught the killer.

Meanwhile, the dogs outside remained restless, their noses still twitching at the ground. What else were they trying to tell the officers? What other secrets was this house hiding.
The police officers continued their grisly search, each new discovery adding to the horror of it all. As they dug deeper into the ground, more and more pieces of bone started to appear, until they were surrounded by a macabre assemblage of skulls and other fragments of human remains. The smell of death was thick in the air, and the officers knew that they had stumbled upon something truly terrible.
They wondered how many people had been buried here, and if they were the only ones. The thought sent a chill down their spines, and they knew that they had to figure out what had happened here, not only for the sake of the families of the victims, but for the people who had once lived here, before this place of supposed peace was turned into a burial ground. They kept digging, determined to get to the bottom of it all, despite the growing sense of dread that permeated the air.
As they continued their grim work, a pattern started to emerge. The police officers started to piece together the pieces of the gruesome puzzle. The house in front of them had been abandoned for years, but it appeared to have been used as a temporary residence by a man who was properly the center of a web of disappearances that had been plaguing the town for the past two years.
They knew they were onto something big. They would have to investigate every lead, every clue, to get to the bottom of this. The thought of all the families who had been affected by the disappearances fueled their determination.
As they started to make the connections, the police officers realized that all of the girls who had disappeared over the past two years had something in common. They were all young, attractive, and had been last seen in the same area. It was becoming clear that this man, whoever he was, had a type. A type that he couldn't resist.
Could it be that this man was a serial killer, and that these victims had just been his latest victims? The police officers felt a wave of horror crashing over them as they realized that they were dealing with something far worse than they had ever imagined. They knew that they had to track down this man and bring him to justice before he could harm anyone else.
They knew they had to act fast before he could take another victim, and started to piece together the clues they had found to track him down.
It was a race against time, and each passing moment meant that another life could be in danger. The police officers knew that they had to use all the knowledge at their disposal to find this killer and bring him to justice.
They would make sure that justice was served for the young women who had been the victim of this monster.
The police officers felt like they were in a horror movie, surrounded by the remains of numerous victims and the evidence of a monstrous serial killer's twisted crimes. They knew they had made a shocking discovery, one that would shake the town to its core, but they also knew that they had to keep their wits about them and track down the killer before he could strike again.
They called for backup and began to carefully pack up the evidence, knowing that it would be crucial in bringing the criminal to justice. Though their work was far from over, they felt a newfound determination to see this through, no matter what they might find along the way.
The dogs were still running around, barking and digging at the ground, as if they were trying to unearth more secrets.
