Chapter 1048


    Sheena spent two days in the hospital.


    Elliot cared for her attentively, not letting her feet touch the ground as he would carry her to


    the restroom.


    It made Sheena ufortable as Elliot treated her like a helpless child.


    During the day, she still talked to Nathaniel on the phone, but they could not make video


    calls due to her hospital stay.


    Learning that the babies were doing welltely, she reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Having been stuck in Ardolisia for almost a week, it was finally Neil’s deadline for the police


    department, and the investigation results should be out by the afternoon.


    Sheena requested to be discharged from the hospital.


    Elliot opposed, but he could not stop Sheena when she was determined.


    During the re–examination, the doctor only checked the gunshot wound and the injuries on the back of


    her head. Since he found no major issues, she could be discharged.


    Elliot had no choice but to apany Sheena in the armored police vehicle to the police department to


    hear the investigation results.


    When they arrived, Neil had just arrived too, and they all went in together.


    The conference room’s ckboard was filled withplex clues.


    The chief of the police department printed outprehensive evidence and gave each of


    them a copy.


    Pointing at the ckboard, he exined, “After the investigation, we found that the driver of therge


    truck involved in this incident is the prime suspect. He was originally from Froania and only came to


    Ardólisia this year. After submitting various documents, het sessfully obtained Ardolisia citizenship.”


    The chief pointed to a photo of Sheena and continued, “We found many pictures of Mrs. Jenkins at his


    house. Upon closer inspection, we discovered he had watched Mrs. Jenkins’s viral dance videos online


    and had been a big fan. He even considered Mrs. Jenkins his imaginary wife online. Since Mrs. Jenkins


    announced her marriage, he has shown abnormal and overly intense emotional reactions.”


    This statement made Elliot furrow his brows deeply, his handsome face darkening with


    tense displeasure. However, he did not interrupt and continued to listen with a cold expression.


    “Yesterday, we conducted a professional psychiatric evaluation on this individual. He was found to have


    neurological disorders and an explosive and irritable personality. It’s estimated that due to unrequited


    love and resentment, he stuck to the principle of “if I can’t have her, no one can‘ and deliberately


    nned this heinous event.”


    Sheena scoffed, not buying into the chief’s exnation about the so–called suspect.


    “There are too many suspicious aspects to this whole matter. How could a mere truck driver afford to


    hire arge number of elite assassins and snipers on the ck market?”


    In response, the chief exined calmly, “We’ve checked his bank records, and all of his finances were


    depleted a few days ago. As for why he chose to drive the truck himself in this incident, it seems he


    wanted to go out with a bang, to end it all.


    “Try recalling the incident. After colliding with the taxi, the truck driver didn’t give up, right? He dragged


    the taxi for several dozen meters until he mmed into a wall, disying clear signs of excessive


    retaliatory behavior.”


    As this exnation concluded, Neil remained silent.


    Feeling increasingly frustrated, Sheena flipped through the documents, her eyes betraying


    a strong sense of agitation.


    Elliot asked coldly, “Where is this truck driver now?”


    “After the incident, he was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. His condition isn’t looking


    good. He’s in a vegetative state, but it’s unlikely he’ll ever wake up.”


    Everything was pinned on this permanently vegetative patient, effectively rendering him unable to


    testify..


    It was the most convenient solution, leaving no room for counterarguments.


    Neil examined the evidence multiple times.


    From the evidence alone, it seemed reasonable that someone with a paranoid and irritable personality


    couldmit such extreme acts of retaliation.

    Setting aside the evidence, Neil looked at the main victim of the incident, Sheena.


    “Ms Lawson, do you have any oblections.


    Sheena let out a light scoff.


    as absurd toy all this at the feet of a mere truck driver.


    She looked at the chief with a piercing gaze, hitting the core issue head–on.


    I’ve heard you’ve been busy handling this case recently. Have you secretly met with


    individuals unrted to this case at the police department?”
