Chapter 1730


    After finishing all his work, Jeffersony down next to Adrienne. He had many things on his mind


    that bothered him, whereas Adrienne was sleeping soundly without a worry in the world. In the end,


    Jefferson couldn''t withhold his anger and gave her a kick.


    The sleeping Adrienne did not respond after being kicked. Seeing this, Jefferson sighed helplessly


    and said, "Adrienne, I must have owed you in myst life."


    Following that, he pulled her into his arms and held her. With her in his arms, he finally felt better


    after all that had happened that night.


    Jefferson had a good family background, an exceptional figure, and a high educational background.


    More importantly, he was exceedingly handsome. There were countless women who paused to take


    a second look at him whenever he was out. However, in the eyes of Adrienne, he was nothing but a


    fart.


    Jefferson was really irritated by that and wishes that he could do something to her.


    "Sh*t, as much as I want to, I can''t bear to.


    After all, I still need this girl to bring me happiness for the rest of my life," he thought.


    "You idiot!" Jefferson reached out and pinched Adrienne''s face. Suddenly, the phone next to him


    rang again. He was so annoyed that he was about to curse, but he didn''t.


    There were not many people who would call him in the middle of the night. He had already guessed


    who it was before he even looked at the phone number and immediately silenced his phone. In


    order not to affect Adrienne''s sleep, he walked out of the room and answered, "Is there any news?"


    Upon hearing what the man on the other end of the phone said, Jefferson''s face fell. He said coldly,


    "Keep an eye on him. If anything happens this time, you''re all fired."


    After hanging up the phone, Jefferson returned to the room. He first looked at Adrienne who was


    sleeping soundly on the bed, and then checked the window again. After confirming that everything


    was secure, he took a coat and hurried out.


    Early in the morning, Adrienne was also woken up by the phone.


    In her line of work, there were no holidays or regr breaks. As long as there was a case and there


    was a need for a forensic doctor, they would be a phone call away.


    Her cell phone had different ringtones for different people. When she heard this ringtone, she knew


    that it was about work. Her fuzzy mind immediately cleared up. "Sergeant Scott, what''s the matter?"


    "Adrienne, hurry to Sam Street. There is a new case." On the phone, Quill''s voice was indescribably


    tired and hoarse as if he did not sleep all night.

    "Okay." Adrienne got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. When she came out of the


    bathroom, she remembered that Jefferson should be home as well, but she did not see him after


    getting up.


    Where was he?


    In her impression, Jefferson was someone who liked to sleep in. Since they got married, they had


    slept together for a few nights, but he had never woken up earlier than her before.


    "Did the sun rise from the west today?" she wondered.


    Jefferson was nowhere to be seen in the living room or dining room either. Before Adrienne went


    out to work, she pushed open the door of his study. However, there was no one there as well.


    Instead, the picture on the desk attracted Adrienne''s attention.


    It looked out of ce so she walked over. She picked up the photo on the desk and took a second


    look at it. The woman in the photo was very beautiful. She looked pure and refreshingly gorgeous,


    with a face that could seemingly stop time.


    Perhaps, this was the girl that Jefferson truly liked!


    In the past, Adrienne had also thought about what kind of girl could attract a sc*mbag like Jefferson.


    At this instant, it seemed like he actually had pretty good taste.


    The girl in the photo was not only goodlooking, but she also had a very alluring temperament.


    However, Adrienne did not understand. If he already had a girl he was in love with, why would he


    want to marry her?


    If he had done so just to have a legal way of bringing her home to bully her, then he was taking


    marriage too lightly, wasn''t he?


    However, ording to what Adrienne knew about Jefferson, it wouldn''t be surprising if that was


    what he actually intended to do.


    It was her fault. She was not a good drinker. She should have just gone home to sleep after drinking


    but she ended up sleeping with him.


    If she hadn''t gotten drunk that day, all this mess wouldn''t have happened.


    One day when she had the time, she would want to have a proper talk with Jefferson. She would


    admit her mistakes and ask him to forget about that night. Perhaps, she could find some way to


    compensate him so that he could let her go. That way, he could go chase after his own happiness.


    However, there was no time for Adrienne to think too much. There was still a very important thing


    waiting for her to attend to. For the time being, she could only put Jefferson and that girl''s affairs


    aside.


    By the time Adrienne arrived at the scene of the incident, Quill and Zelson had already arrived.


    It was yet another headless female corpse.


    The scars on the body were very simr to that of the corpse from the day before. After the


    preliminary examination, Zelson and Adrienne both believed that it was likely to be a serial murder


    case.


    However, this was only their initial judgment. Quill still had to investigate more to determine its


    genre.


    Zelson said, "Sergeant Scott, let''s send the body back first. We will get the autopsy report out for


    you as soon as possible."


    After that, he turned and left.


    Adrienne followed closely behind him. "Mr. Zelson, there''s something that I don''t quite understand."


    Zelson said, "Go ahead."


    "We still haven''t found the head of that body yesterday. Then this happened today. Are the two of


    them..."


    Zelson interrupted Adrienne, "Adrienne, as a forensic doctor, we should only rely on the facts. We


    must not jump to our own conclusions without the proper investigations. Otherwise, we will easily


    give the wrong judgment. A forensic doctor is someone who helps the dead talk; you must


    remember this."


    Adrienne nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zelson."


    Compared with Zelson, Adrienne was not only young, but alsocking in experience. With him by


    her side, she could learn a lot of things, so Zelson had always been her idol.


    In Adrienne''s eyes, men like Zelson, who were talented and upright, were really pleasing to the eye.


    It was unlike Jefferson, who always swore and bullied people.


    "Ugh, why am I thinking about that sc*mbag at work?" Adrienne thought.


    She shook her head immediately and got rid of Jefferson''s image that surfaced in her mind.


    Zelson saw this and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Adrienne shook her head. "It''s nothing."


    Zelson looked at her worriedly. "If there is something wrong, let me know."


    "I''m fine, really."


    At two o''clock in the afternoon, there were not many people in the cafe. There were a few tables


    upied, but the customers were all busy working, no one was really seen having a leisure


    afternoon.


    Jefferson didn''t sleep all night. With his tangled hair, he arrived at the cafe ahead of the


    appointment time. He ordered a cup of coffee and finished it. In an instant, he was energized.


    When he signaled the waiter to refill the ss, he saw from the corner of his eye, a longhaired


    woman pushing the door anding in. Since he had previously seen her in photos, he


    immediately recognised his ''date''. It was Karen!
