Die Person hinter dem Ganzen

"Do you know where your brother-in-law is?" Bella asked, suspecting that Andreas Corby might have been the one who hired Dark Skull to investigate her.

"When exactly did he get there?" she pressed, seeking confirmation.

"I can't say for certain, but it was probably the day after we let him go. What's going on, Bella? Why this sudden interest in him? Has he wronged you in some way?"
