    Chapter 548


    Mr. K gave the time and ce, and before hanging up, asked, “Are you tight with Micha Sanders?”


    P


    “I’m pretty chummy with her husband’s brother,” Celeste replied.


    Mr. K didn’t pry any further, simply saying, “Catch you in a bit.”


    Mr. K was the notorious private eye in J City.


    Mr. K didn’t have a detective agency, his whereabouts were always up in the air, and the only way to


    find him was through an email address he publicly posted on forums.


    You want to work with him, send him an email. If he’s interested, he’ll get in touch. If he’s not, and


    doesn’t reply for a week, that’s your cue to move on.


    Ever since Celeste found those things in the safe and realized that Caitlyn had considered divorcing


    Shawn Campbell seven years ago, she started suspecting that there was more to the car ident


    seven years ago.


    After Caitlyn’s funeral, she reached out to Micha and asked her about the case.


    Micha’s in criminal investigation, but she also has connections in the traffic ident department.


    Micha asked a friend to help her look up the case files from seven years ago. The conclusion was


    that the authorities handling the ident didn’t collect a blood sample from Caitlyn at the time, so there


    was no drug test done. Thus, it couldn’t be confirmed whether Caitlyn had taken any antidepressants.


    In other words, Shawn’s im that Caitlyn was under the influence of depression was just a guess


    made by the police officer who surveyed the scene at the time, there was no evidence to support it.


    Micha exined that they had good surveince footage of the scene, so the entire incident was


    pretty clear. Plus, the family of the vehicle that Caitlyn crashed into wanted the case resolved as soon


    as possible, so it was treated as a regr traffic ident – fines were issued,pensation was


    arranged, and both parties settled privately.


    After exining all this, Micha added, “The officer handling the case was a colleague of mine.


    ording to his recollection, both parties wanted to quickly close the case, nobody likes having


    unresolved cases. They did suggest a blood test, but Shawn refused, citing your mother’s critical


    condition as the reason.”


    While Micha could help with the case files, Celeste could also have officially requested this


    information as a family member of the victim, though the process would have been slower.

    Micha was just helping her expedite the process. While there were things she couldn’t disclose, she


    did add thatst bit as a personal reminder, because the case was indeed suspicious.


    How much blood would a drug test require? Caitlyn’s injuries were mainly to her head, she didn’t lose a


    lot of blood, so how could drawing some blood for testing be inconvenient?


    Furthermore, drug tests can’t be dyed for too long. The longer it’s dyed, the more difficult it would


    be to detect the drugs after they’re metabolized. It seemed like Shawn wasn’t concerned about whether


    his wife was innocent, but was rather eager to get this matter resolved.


    Back then, the police handling the case also had their doubts, but the final decision was up to their


    superiors. If the superiors wanted the case closed quickly, they couldn’t continue investigating.


    After learning about the case from Micha, Celeste was even more convinced that there was


    something fishy about the ident. But after so many years, the vehicle involved in the ident had


    already been destroyed. Without new evidence, there was no way to reopen the case.


    Micha rmended her to this private detective and gave her his email, suggesting she give it a


    shot.
