The entire inte was discussing Lockwood's revelation about Nicolas' impotence.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The second book in the series, "Lockwood's Detective Diary," began again. The new book was called "The Mystery of the Missing Young Genius."
The opening chapter kicked off with the Stevens family happily enjoying Christmas day 10 years ago. Their youngest daughter, Lara, who was still 8 years old, suddenly pulled her grandparents' sleeves and asked them to take her to the department store to watch a performance.
Lara's parents had to cook and had other children to take care of. Her nanny, who had always been responsible for taking care of her, also took time off to take care of her sick daughter. Only Lara's grandparents were free, so they took her.
When they arrived at the department store, the three of them first walked around. Then, they watched an acrobatic performance in the square. Lara asked her grandfather to buy ice cream and her grandmother to buy balloons.
The two elders returned very quickly, only to find that their granddaughter was gone.
The first two chapters were more than 4,000 words and described Lara's disappearance in detail.
Soon, someone online posted: [This book must be based on Zilvia's disappearance 17 years ago! Oh my god, this was known as one of the most mysterious and difficult unsolved cases in the past 20 years. Is Lockwood challenging a top-notch unsolved case?]
Someone immediately echoed: [Ah, I remember this case. It definitely shocked the entire country. Almost all the police departments, detectives, fans of detective work, and the general public had been involved. Sadly, they hadn't found any useful clues.]
[Some say that Zilvia was kidnapped by aliens. Others believe that she went to a parallel world. Some say that it was an inside job and the Donovan family was responsible. I can't believe we still don't know where Zilvia is or if she's dead or alive!]
However, a lot of people had never heard of this case. They asked: [Why haven't we heard of this case? We can't find it online. Does this case really exist?]
[That's right. I know it's been 17 years since this sensational case was opened, but we've never heard of it...]
The older readers explained to them: [It's another one of the mysteries of this case. You won't find details of this case online.]
[This is the case. Christmas day 17 years ago, around the end of January. The five-year-old Zilvia mysteriously disappeared when she went to the department store with her grandparents...]
[Apparently, her IQ was very high. She tested an IQ of 150. I saw her photo at that time. She was very cute, like an angel. That was why her mysterious disappearance attracted a lot of attention...]
After the younger readers read the summary of the story, they were enlightened: [I see. What a mysterious case it is.]
[Zilvia's grandparents immediately

[Allegedly, the police and passersby had checked the bushes, trash cans, and bags in the mall. Still, there's no sign of Zilvia...]
[All the taxi drivers in the city joined the search, and helped ask around...]
While everyone was discussing the case, a reader pointed out: [Zilvia's surname is Donovan, and Lockwood's surname is also Donovan. Do you think Zilvia is related to Lockwood?]
[Fuck! The user above is really clever. You even noticed this...]
This guess caused another wave of commotion.
Everything about Zilvia's disappearance had already disappeared from the Inte without a trace but was brought up again because of Lockwood's detective novel. It shocked the entire Inte.

When Nellie saw this news, she grabbed the cup on the table angrily and threw it at Joy. "When I first saw Athena, I said that I wanted to completely solve the Donovan family's case. This is a problem. You stopped me!
"Now that things have turned out like this, how do you think we should resolve it?"
Joy caught the cup steadily and put it back on the table. "I'll find a way."
