The ensuing investigation only deepened the mystery. Each step forward felt like groping through a fog, and Jason found himself caught in an endless whirlpool. His further digging into each suspect's background made him increasingly certain that everything was far more complex than it appeared on the surface. Each person's past seemed intertwined with an inescapable connection, and the intricate emotional entanglements bound them together tightly. Their relationships were a tangled web of interests, hatred, and love, forming an invisible net that gradually ensnared them all.
Jason felt as if he had become trapped in this web; every step he took raised more questions, and each mystery unraveled seemed to lead to even more puzzles. He had once thought this was merely a simple murder case, but now, as the investigation deepened, he realized he could no longer analyze everything with simple logic. The actions and backgrounds of each suspect concealed unknown secrets, and these secrets were undoubtedly the key to unraveling Fernandez's death.
To clarify the clues further, Jason decided to search everyone's luggage. He knew this might be the only way to find crucial evidence. After some questioning and coordination, he finally received permission. As he opened each person's suitcase, Jason's heart raced; although he knew that some items might lead to significant discoveries, he also understood that each search could trigger new troubles.
He began with Isabelle Leon's luggage, which contained some high-end clothing and cosmetics—seemingly ordinary at first glance but lacking anything noteworthy. Next was Thomas Harrison; his suitcase was filled with documents and records of business dealings, yet these papers appeared completely unrelated to the murder case. Jason flipped through them one by one but found no breakthrough clues.
Finally, Jason arrived at Victor Novak's suitcase. The moment he opened it, his gaze immediately locked onto a folder that looked meticulously preserved. The corners of several pages were slightly yellowed, setting it apart from the other items. Carefully, Jason took out the folder and opened one of the letters inside. The paper was wrinkled, clearly having been nervously handled multiple times. The letter bore no signature but came from an anonymous sender; it stated: "If you continue to interfere in this matter, you will pay the price." This sentence echoed in Jason's mind like a warning bell.
Staring at the threatening letter, a gut feeling surged within him: Victor Novak was evidently deeply connected to this case, and it was far more complicated than he had previously imagined. Jason pondered what Victor knew and why someone would issue such a stern warning against him. He suddenly realized that everyone involved in this case—even those who seemed insignificant—could be part of a larger conspiracy.
"Does Victor know certain secrets?" a thought flashed through Jason's mind. He couldn't draw conclusions based solely on this threat letter, but it undoubtedly provided new direction for his investigation. He needed to find more evidence to uncover the intricate truth behind it all.
However, just as he immersed himself in thought, a sudden jolt shook the train. The carriage lurched violently; lights flickered for an instant before the entire train came to an abrupt halt. Jason's heart skipped a beat as his unsteady body instinctively grasped the nearby seat for support. Outside, the blizzard raged on mercilessly, but at that moment, the tension inside the carriage felt even more oppressive.
The train remained motionless; Jason could hear the anxious whispers and footsteps of surrounding passengers. His instincts told him that this halt was not coincidental. The conductor’s face revealed anxiety as he seemed to convey some urgent information; though his tone was subdued, Jason still caught key words: "safety," "malfunction," "irreparable." This wasn't merely due to the blizzard; there seemed to be other reasons behind the train's stoppage—mechanical failure or perhaps human interference?
Jason's mood grew heavy as he realized that the blizzard was just one part of this enigma; with the train halted, tensions inside began to rise sharply. Passengers' emotions fluctuated—anxiety turned into unease and even panic spread throughout the carriage. Jason began recalling all the clues he had gathered; every detail became increasingly significant.
This murder case was no longer just a simple death incident. The underlying conflicts of interest, emotional disputes, and even political conspiracies made this investigation all the more complex. Jason couldn't shake off the feeling that he had plunged into a dangerous game where the truth might have long surpassed his initial expectations.
As the train remained stalled, Jason knew this was merely the beginning of unraveling mysteries—and that truth was inching closer with each passing moment.
