Sabrina believed that when her father secretly took the photo, the kidnappers must have noticed him. To avoid being exposed, they committed the ruthless act of killing him.

There could be no other possible explanation.

Sabrina's eyes welled up with anger and profound sadness at the weight of this revelation. She clenched her jaw and squeezed her fist until her knuckles turned white.

She would seek justice and avenge her beloved father, no matter the cost.

After wiping away her tears, Sabrina took a deep breath, determined to calm herself and think carefully.

Her mind drifted to another kidnapping case. The victim was the daughter of a celebrity.

During the police rescue process, the media swarmed the area, eager to capture every moment and broadcast the latest news in real-time to gain public attention. Despite the desperate pleas from the girl's mother, the media continued to report on the situation. This ultimately led to the tragic and brutal murder of the hostage by the kidnappers.

The news profoundly impacted Sabrina and left an indelible mark on her.

The victim was a seventeen-year-old high school student.

What made the situation even more infuriating was the realization that if the media had not been present, perhaps the young girl would still be alive. In a sense, the media's actions made them complicit in the crime, and they should be held accountable for their role in the tragedy.

After the tragic outcome and the media's involvement, the police were compelled to adopt a new protocol for similar cases.

In cases where hostages hadn't been released, Law enforcement refrained from divulging any information beforehand. Moreover, reporters were absent from the crime scene during rescue operations.

Then how did father take the kidnappers’ photo?

Had he obtained the news and snuck around the scene, regardless of the danger?

Indeed, this was a characteristic trait of Sabrina's father. He was known for his unwavering determination and willingness to go to great lengths to uncover the truth. In the food additive case, the first crucial piece of evidence was discovered due to his heroic efforts. He fearlessly went undercover at the factory, risking his safety to expose the wrongdoing.

Perhaps her father had been discovered when he took the photo, which led to the kidnappers’ resentment.

At the time of his death, Sabrina's father had been in the process of writing a news article about the kidnapping. He had reached the phase where it was ready to be published.

Based on the information in her father's drafted notes, Sabrina could deduce that the kidnapping had occurred on April 12th of that year.

Tragically, her father's life was cut short six days later, on April 18th.

This implied that the kidnappers hadn't been apprehended and were evading capture when her father passed away. Otherwise, the truck driver's involvement in his death wouldn't have added up.
