    Chapter 1247 The Nurses Were Switched


    North asked, "Shall we begin reying the footage at the midnight timestamp?"


    After hearing this, Alex replied, "Yes, but at a speed of 8x."


    North then sped up the yback, and soon all eyes were glued to the monitor. However, the passage


    of time was still frustratingly slow despite the increased speed.


    This was a private hospital that usually catered to wealthy and influential people. Unlike most hospitals,


    it was not crowded, especiallyte at night, and the corridors were practically empty.


    They stared fixedly for so long that their eyes grew weary.


    It wasn''t until 12.50AM when a nurse pushed a cart from the other end of the corridor toward


    Phantom''s room. Nheless, she waspletely hidden behind a hat and mask, making it


    impossible to see her face, but they could only confirm that she was a woman. Thus, everyone kept


    their eyes peeled for the nurse as she entered Phantom''s room. Unfortunately, no surveince cameras


    were in the patient rooms, so they couldn''t tell what she did inside. Approximately ten minutester, the


    nurse exited the room with the sameposure with which she had entered, and she pushed the cart


    back to the nurse''s station using the same route.


    Roughly ten minutester, another nurse emerged from the station and entered Phantom''s room, but


    she left the room mere seconds after entering. Immediately after, medical personnel rushed to the


    room, and it became apparent that the Phantom had already passed away.


    After seeing this footage, Olivia suggested, "Let''s rewind and see if the nurses were switched."


    Then, North pressed a few keys on the keyboard to split theputer monitor into two separate


    screens. The two nurses were clearly distinct individuals because the first nurse to enter was


    noticeably taller than the second, and their walking styles were obviously different.


    In the meantime, she narrowed her eyes and calmly assessed the situation. "Someone most likely


    infiltrated the nurse''s station from outside the hospital. They used drugs or some other method to


    incapacitate the nurse, took the opportunity tomit the murder, and then retraced their steps to


    escape undetected."


    When Alex heard this, he agreed and said, "Yes, the ward assistant fell asleep. After questioning her


    for some time, she stated that the nurse had covered her mouth and nose, causing her to doze off. So,


    it''s clear that the nurse was the killer. I''ll go to the nurse''s station and look for clues that may have been


    left behind."


    He was about to leave when Olivia stopped him. "Enough, you can go tomorrow. Why are you


    exhausting yourself like this? Don''t you care about your own life?"


    He sighed and replied, "I''m fine. I wouldn''t be at ease staying at home."


    After that, Eugene chimed in, "There''s no rush. I''ll inform the police station and have them take care of


    Jewel. We''ll investigate together tomorrow."


    Alex relented upon hearing this.


    By now, it was already past 11.00PM. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Back in the room, Alexy on the bed but couldn''t fall asleep. He closed his eyes and forced himself to


    get some rest, as they needed to uncover the truth the next day. Nheless, Jewel''s vivid image after


    image kept shing before his eyes, each one brimming with life and vitality but also filled with unjust


    suffering. Despite his efforts to make her happy, the suffering inflicted by him and his mother was


    undeniably real… Although she had not done anything wrong.


    …


    On the other hand, Albert looked into the situation independently to try to piece together what had


    happened. After some investigation, he learned that Jewel, not Olivia, was arrested on suspicion of


    murdering Brett, the casino owner. As the new information left him bewildered, he proceeded straight to


    River because he believed that River was the only person who knew the truth.


    However, River was surprised to see him. "Sir, why have you returned? Aren''t you keeping an eye on


    the clinic?"


    Then, Albert asked, "I have something to ask you. Can you describe the woman you fought with at the


    hospital? Was it Jewel who visited Brett''s neighborhood on that particr day?"


    After hearing this, River took a deep breath and looked at the man''s somber face before answering,


    "I''m not sure. After all, I don''t know Jewel personally. However, the woman had a red rose tattoo on her


    ankle and wore a ck glove that could shoot steel wires from it. My wrist was injured because of


    those wires."


    While saying this, he pointed at his wrist, revealing a deep mark left by the wire.
