Chapter 1785
After Adrienne returned, she kept on working without a break. At 9 p.m., the autopsy report then
came out. They were right about it, the victim was indeed poisoned to death. To be exact, the
poison was arsenic, which was quite a popr drug used as a poison.
When Jefferson got the autopsy report, his eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. He looked at Austin
and asked, "How''s your investigation going?"
Looking at Jefferson''s scary look, Austin instinctively took two steps back and answered, "Boss,
they threw the leftovers of the prisoners'' meals. I couldn’t find any clues."
"All of you simply can’t do anything. What is the use of letting you guys work under me?"Jefferson
shouted.
Jefferson''s roar made Austin step back, but he still muttered softly, "Boss, we''re mainly working on
catching drug dealers, not criminal investigations. We need the professionals to do things like
these."
Jefferson was speechless, but he had always been a person who didn''t care about reasons.
Anyway, whatever he said was to be obeyed. He then added, "It''s not like you''ve caught more drug
dealers than others."
Austin was speechless.
Forget it, he thought. He had to endure it. After all, Jefferson was arrogant and he had the right to
be arrogant as well. Since Jefferson took over, they had been catching drug dealers more quickly
than before.
Currently, the number of drug dealers arrested in the past month was more than the total sum in the
past six months. If the drug dealers were caught at such a speed, no one would dare tomit
crimes in Chatterton Town again in the future. All members of the narcotics team would be able to
stay at home and rest every day then.
There were no clues or suspicious people caught regarding the food the victim ate. Jefferson also
checked the surveince footage in person, but no clue was found either. That was to say, he had
worked hard for two months to trace the drug trafficking groups. At present, everything was in vain
since the person had died and the clues were all gone. Everything had returned to its starting point
once again.
"D*mn it!" Jefferson was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand. The teacup hit the wall and
instantly broke into pieces. "If I
find out who''s behind this, I will definitely rip his skin off his flesh."
Austin was frightened and he asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"
"Nothing," Jefferson informed as he shot Austin a re.
After that, Jefferson picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number. The call was connected
quickly, and he then asked, "Where are you now?"
At the other end of the phone was Adrienne. T m still in the office and I’m about to go home."
"Stay in the office, I will go pick you up." His tone was still unfriendly but Adrienne knew that he was
caring about her. Thus, she agreed to it.
Several confusing cases have happened in recent days. Several people died but no one knew
where the murderer behind the cases was, and no one knew who the end target of the murderer
was.
Therefore, Quill had reminded everyone to be cautious. When necessary, he had arranged police
officers to escort civilian staff home, especially the forensics.
Chatterton Town''s police headquarters was located in Paramount Area, which was only two blocks
away from the branch of Paramount Criminal Police Station where Adrienne was located. Adrienne
had only waited for minutes when Jefferson arrived.
When she came to the door, she saw Jefferson driving an off-road car, which was much bigger and
cooler than his fancy red sports car. To tell the truth, such a car was more suitable for Jefferson to
drive in.
She got in the car and asked, "Why did you change your car today? Did your superiors arrange you
to drive this?"
"You''re not stupid when ites to these things," Jefferson answered coldly. But how can Adrienne
be as stupid as an idiot when it came to love? he wondered.
Adrienne saw that he was not in the mood to talk to her. Thus, she obediently shut her lips and tilted
her head to look out of the window.
It was 10 o''clock at night, and it was the most beautiful time to enjoy the night view in Chatterton
Town. There were tall buildings on both sides of the street, and the lights were so beautiful that the
whole city looked like a piece of exquisite artwork.
However, Adrienne did not know why she felt that such a beautiful scene seemed so unreal. It was
like a mirage, which might disappear in the blink of an eye.
It was Chatterton Town, the ce where she was born and raised, but she felt more and more
unfamiliar with it as if she had never belonged to this city. There were fewer and fewer people who
she cared about in this ce.
Jefferson spoke, "What nonsense are you thinking about?"
Adrienne continued looking at the tall buildings on both sides of the road outside the window and
said, "Jefferson, we both were born and raised in Chatterton Town, and we are so familiar with
every inch ofnd here. Every mountain, every river, every ce where we could enjoy the sea
view, where we can get to eat the best food in Chatterton Town - we are familiar with everything. But
recently I suddenly feel that I am getting unfamiliar to this city as if I was not born and raised here."
"You little idiot," Jefferson snorted. "Have you read too many fantasy novels?"
Adrienne looked at him. "I read fantasy novels when I was young and I was always shocked by
those horror cases inside. Ever since I became a forensic doctor, I discovered that the actual
society is actually much more terrible than fantasy novels. The most terrible thing in the world is not
demons and ghosts, but humans."
All of a sudden, Jefferson reached out a hand and he held Adrienne''s hand in his. "With me, such a
fierce devil, by your side, what else are you afraid of?"
"Yes, I will feel safer when you are with me, but you can''t stay by my side for 24 hours, right?"
Adrienne looked at him and grinned. "Although you are the person I hate the most, yet the person I
appreciate most is still you, Jeff!"
Jefferson was caught off guard.
F*ck. Again?
Adrienne certainly didn''t know how much her smile could do to him. Most importantly, she called
him Jeff coquettishly in the end.
Jefferson lost focus and he couldn''t seem to be able to drive well anymore.
For the sake of their safety, Jefferson immediately took back his hand and pretended to drive
seriously as he reminded, "Little idiot, don''t talk to me in such a tone. It makes me sick."
Adrienne stretched out her hand and pinched him. "Who talked in what tone? Who made you sick?"
Jefferson was in pain but he didn''t move an inch. She could pinch him if she wanted to. "You," He
replied.
Adrienne punched him again. "I make you sick? Then, I''ll make you spit out all the breakfast you ate
this morning. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff..."
Her voice was so soft that Jefferson''s heart felt like melting. He was so happy that he almost
beamed. He pretended to stay calm and scolded, "Little idiot!"
"Don''t you feel sick hearing it?" Adrienne let herself go and made a face at him. "Since you''re
disgusted by it, I''ll call you that on purpose. Jeff..."
Whoosh!
Jefferson suddenly drove to a side and stepped on the brakes. The car stopped on the side of the
road steadily. Before Adrienne could react, Jefferson cupped her face and kissed her aggressively.
After Adrienne returned, she kept on working without a break. At 9 p.m., the autopsy report then
came out. They were right about it, the victim was indeed poisoned to death. To be exact, the
