novelxo Chapter 1745
"I am not protecting him, I am not worried about him, and I am not suspecting him." Adrienne found it difficult to communicate with men. Whenever she tried to be serious, they would always talk nonsense with her. "Sergeant Scott, listen to me clearly."
"Fine. Tell me about it. I'll listen to you."
Adrienne continued seriously, "Jefferson appeared at the crime scene with blood all over his body. There were so many witnesses and he is a huge suspect. We must have solid evidence to prove his innocence. You can't just let him go after a chat with no explanation."
That was what Adrienne was worried about.
It was useless for her to believe in Jefferson's innocence. It needed to be proven with evidence to shut others up. If word got out, everyone would be thinking the same thing she thought at first, that he only got out because of his family influence.
Quill patted Adrienne on the shoulder and affirmed to her in a wise tone, "Adrienne, there are some things that can't be said. You know that I'm an impartial man. Jefferson isn't the culprit."
"It's useless for me to believe it. If you want other people to believe it, then you have to show them the evidence," Adrienne rebutted.
"You don't have to worry about Jefferson. Now go back and do your job. Find some strong evidence and cooperate with us to find the murderer quickly," Quill replied.
"Sergeant Scott..."
"Sergeant Scott, I just received a report that a headless female body was found at House No. 98 of Pear Garden Street." A police officer came in a hurry to report, which made Quill's scalp go numb. "D*mn, another one. This is killing me."
Quill quickly ordered, "Adrienne, go and get Zelson. Let's go to the crime scene together."
At present, this was already the fourth headless female corpse case.
They rushed to the crime scene. When Adrienne saw the headless female corpse lying on the bed, she felt her skin crawl. What kind of sick person would want to hurt all these women like this? Zelson glanced at her. "Adrienne..."
Adrienne took a deep breath and assured, "Mr. Zelson, I am fine."
As a forensic doctor, if she was afraid of such a scene, how could she help the deceased get justice? How could she find the killer who murdered her parents... Soon, Adrienne was focused on inspecting the victim's wounds as well as any residue that might be left on the body.
She was busy all the way until night time and still, she hadn't finished her work.
When Jefferson got home, he did not see Adrienne. He called her immediately, but no one answered. He was so angry that he shouted, "Little Specky, I told you to wait at home, but you still went out. How dare you? I'll punish you when you come back."
After a busy day, Jefferson felt like he stank, but he had no time to clean up. He went straight to the station, but before he could enter, someone stopped him.
A gentle-looking male police officer blocked his way and commanded, "Sir, this is a place for official forensic business. Outsiders aren't allowed in."
Regardless of the consequences, Jefferson rushed inside and asked, "Are you blind? Do I look like some random outsider to you?"
The police officer stopped him again. "Sir, if you break in again, I'll arrest you."
"Get Quill over here, and ask the guy from
your forensic department, that Jacob guy to see if I'm allowed to enter or not." "Fu*k, why do I have to be stopped when I'm just trying to look for my wife? My life is so hard," Jefferson thought. Just then, Zelson, who was passing by, saw this scene. The police officer immediately asked him for help, "Dr. Jacob, this..."
Zelson answered, "Leave it to me. Go ahead and do your work."
"Okay," the police officer responded.
"I thought you were going to pretend that you don't know me," said Jefferson with a smile.
"Do I know you?" Zelson replied with an indifferent tone.
"No, you don't."
"I kind of want to beat him up," Jefferson thought.
"What business do you have here?" Zelson asked.
"I'm looking for someone."
"I'm sorry! Staff members here usually don't entertain friends during work hours."
Jefferson went up to Zelson, lowered his voice, and warned, "Zelson, don't put on a sanctimonious air in front of me. Adrienne might not know what you're thinking, but I do.
Don't even think about touching her."
Zelson snorted softly. "So what if you know?"
Zelson's cold snort was obviously a provocation. Jefferson grabbed Zelson's collar and sneered, "I just warned you. Do you not speak f*cking English?"
Zelson said slowly, "Adrienne doesn't like you. Even if you tricked her into marrying you, her heart would never belong to you. Life is fair game for everyone. We have the right to work hard for our own happiness."
"Fair game? When I met her, you were just in some random corner of the world. You dare talk to me about a fair game?" Jefferson mocked.
"Jefferson, what are you doing?" Adrienne came out from nowhere and pulled Jefferson away. "Do you know what this place is? This isn't a place for you to create a ruckus."
Her action of pushing him away made him extremely angry. "Adrienne..."
However, Adrienne ignored him and immediately looked at Zelson. "Mr. Zelson, are you alright?"
Zelson shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Boy, you are good at acting," Jefferson thought.
"Mr. Zelson, I apologize on his behalf. You don't have to waste your time on him."
Zelson chuckled. "He is him, and you are you. You two are completely different individuals. You don't have to apologize for his unreasonableness, not to mention that I am really fine."
The more reasonable Zelson was, the more unreasonable Jefferson seemed. Adrienne felt embarrassed. "Mr. Zelson, why don't you go back first? I'll talk to him alone."
Zelson nodded. "Sure. You go ahead, I can handle the autopsy. Don't worry."
Zelson asked Adrienne not to worry, but how could she not? This was already the fourth headless female corpse case. If these cases weren't solved soon, more and more women would fall victim to this. "No worries, Mr. Zelson. I know what to do."
As soon as Zelson left, Adrienne stared at Jefferson with disappointment and other emotions in her eyes. "Jefferson, you don't do anything all day long but eat and drink. However, you have to understand that not everyone is that privileged. If I lose this job, I won't be able to survive. Also, my job is not a game. If something goes wrong, more people may be hurt. Do you understand?"
Suddenly, Jefferson smiled coldly. "Adrienne, I'll let you go this one time for protecting
another man in front of me. Next time, I won't be this nice again."
Then, he left.
Adrienne was speechless.
"I'm a sinner!" she thought.
"I must have sinned too much in my past life."
