Innocent Guilty (Fourth Part)
Last Part: Unveiling a Murder (Chapter Four)

Chapter Four:
Amy walked all night, avoiding taxis and buses for fear of being seen. In the morning, she went to work as usual, and in the afternoon, she rented an electric bike to go to the forest hut to see Antonio, return him inside, and take her car. When she arrived and opened the door of the van, she was stunned for a few moments.
She sat quietly, staring ahead for half an hour. Then, suddenly, she started crying and cursing Louis. After a moment, as if nothing had happened, she got up resolutely and went into the van. She picked up Antonio's body, which was pale and covered in mosquitoes, and carried it to the back of the building. She turned on the ice machine and, before she could regret it, threw poor Antonio, who had probably overdosed, into the ice machine.
When she returned home, she collapsed on the bed from exhaustion and didn't move until morning. She went to the coffee shop as usual and worked as usual. At noon, she saw Louis's boss, Mr. Jones, in front of the coffee shop. He asked, "Do you know where Louis is?" Amy, surprised, replied, "Doesn't he come to work today?" Mr. Jones said, "No, he hasn't come for two days. I thought you would know." Amy responded, "Why should I know?"
"Because he had a meeting with you," Jones said. Amy nodded and said, "No, I haven't heard from him since last weekend." Mr. Jones reassured her, "Don't worry now, the police will definitely find something in his personal notebook they found at his house. You know Louis writes everything down in his notebook." Amy smiled and left, wishing she hadn't killed Louis because she now wanted to do it with her hands; only then would she feel at peace.
Amy immediately boarded a bus and went to the airport. She bought a ticket to Los Angeles and waited for an hour. Once seated on the plane, she sighed in relief. But the story did not end there. At the Los Angeles airport, she was arrested before reaching the taxi stand.
In the interrogation room, Amy remained calm. But when she found out that Louis had written everything in his notebook and that the police had found Antonio's blood in the forest house, she lost her composure and asked for a lawyer.
During the trial, all the evidence was against Amy, but she denied everything. Then, the FBI sent a copy of a video from the darknet.
The darknet is a part of the internet that is deliberately hidden and not directly accessible through normal web networks. It is known for protecting users' privacy and anonymity but is also used for illegal activities, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and violent crimes.
In that video, a girl kept in a cage is tortured and sexually abused, with Amy's email address presented to those interested in buying her. Because Amy continued to deny everything, the judge ordered her to be injected with a truth serum to prevent further crimes.
In the next court session, Amy confessed to murdering 13 people, including her parents. She revealed that as a law student, she met a nameless, faceless group that provided her with facilities and money to lure girls and boys who had run away from their families. They were offered high payments and the guarantee that their faces would not be shown, to participate in violent sex films. However, they didn't know that their next film would be about their dismemberment, to be sold to those with a penchant for eating humans.
The police ordered a further investigation of Amy's forest home. During the investigation, they found a room with human cages and torture instruments. At the back of the house was a large, separate room. As soon as the police entered it, there was a huge explosion, destroying the entire building.
Despite the house being destroyed, there was no evidence left. Amy continued to claim she was innocent, and since a verdict could not be issued based solely on the confessions obtained with the help of a truth serum, the police kept Amy in custody under the pretext of collecting evidence and finding clues.
Amy spoke very kindly in court and impressed everyone.
On a hot day in Los Angeles, Amy, the last clue for the police, was shot in the head while being transported from the detention center to the court.
End.
