Chapter 1800


    Adrienne giggled. "The purpose of a person''s life is to eat well and live well. These all have


    something to do with money... In other words, money makes the world go round."


    Jefferson red at her and sighed. "I''ve known you for more than 20 years, but I never knew that


    you were so good ating up with excuses."


    Adrienne did not take his fierce eyes seriously. "I''ve been with you for so long. Naturally, I''ve picked


    up a thing or two from you."


    Adrienne did not care that much about money in the past, but she had to care about it at present. To


    find out the truth behind her parents'' murder, she needed money.


    Although she might not be able to find anything with money, she would be even more helpless to try


    to get anything done without money.


    Albert did not give her any useful clues, but from what he told her, she knew that there must be


    something behind the murder of her parents. It was very likely that Albert knew about it.


    Adrienne''s father''s rtionship with Albert had always been good, and they had been close friends


    for many years. When Hodge fell ill after finding out about Adrienne''s parents'' death, she didn''t


    know what to do. It was Albert who stepped forward to help her take care of her parents'' funeral.


    Adrienne thought that logically, Albert shoulde out to testify since he knew the truth since Albert


    and her father had been so close. But instead of that, Albert used it to threaten her... Did that mean


    there was a bigger power behind the case? So powerful that even Albert could not afford to offend


    that person?


    What kind of person could make Albert cower like this?


    Was there such a figure in Chatterton Town?


    Two years ago, Adrienne had checked through people who were around her parents, but she found


    no motive from anyone. During these years, her parents had no grudges with anyone, nor did they


    have any fights with anyone. They were pretty much the model citizens of the town.


    If it were an impulse murder, the murderer would not have chopped up the body and there was no


    way the murderer would have left no clues. Hence, she guessed that the murderer must have


    nned everything out.


    Since she couldn''t find any clues from the people around her parents, perhaps she could investigate


    people around Albert to get clues.


    "Ring, ring, ring-"


    The mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang, which scared her. She was stunned and then took


    out her mobile phone. It was a call from her team. She immediately answered, "Lte, what''s


    wrong?"


    Jefferson couldn''t hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, but Adrienne''s


    expression suddenly became solemn. She said, "I''ll head over right now."


    She hung up the phone and looked at Jefferson. "There''s a murder case again. I will have to go


    there now."


    "Tell me the address," Jefferson replied.


    "I can take a taxi," Adrienne said.


    "Did I ask you for your opinion?" Jefferson''s tone was still as overbearing as usual. Adrienne knew


    that his temper was rising again, hence she had to tell him the address obediently.


    Jefferson had lived in this city since childhood, therefore he was very familiar with this city. He could


    navigate the streets more urately than the navigation system.


    He immediately made a left turn. At the intersection, he turned left again and headed to the


    destination.


    On the journey there, Adrienne remained silent.


    As a forensic doctor, Adrienne dealt with dead bodies almost every day. She had seen plenty of


    corpses but every time there was a case, she still felt ufortable.


    Jefferson might have been harsh with his words, but he was still holding Adrienne''s hand with his.


    Adrienne''s mind was filled with problems that she didn''t know how to solve. "Jefferson, what do you


    think about the Liley Park''s case?"


    "Isn''t the case closed? What else can I think about it?" Jefferson also knew that there was


    something wrong with the case. He was investigating it as well, but he had not found any clues yet.


    He wanted to wait to discuss it with her when he found more leads. He didn''t want her to feel too


    burdened, therefore he added, "Anyway, no matter what I think of it, it won''t have any effect on the


    case."


    "I might be the only witness who saw the murderer of the western suburb case, but I didn''t see him


    with my own eyes. The sky was very dark that night and I did not see the face of the man who


    escaped clearly. I can''t confirm that the person who died in Liley Park is the same murderer from


    the western suburb case." There were obviously many loopholes in this case but her superiors had


    hurriedly closed the case. It seemed that they were trying to cover up something. Adrienne wiped


    her forehead and sighed helplessly. "The murderer didn''t leave any traces at the scene either. How


    could they say that he was the murderer of that case? Just because I told them that the body of the


    victim in Liley Park was simr to the person who fled that night?"


    Only then did Jefferson realize Adrienne wasn''t just worried about the misjudgment of the case. She


    was worried about what she said. If she hadn''t mentioned that, would they not have used that


    reason to close the case?


    Jefferson knew what Adrienne was thinking and his love for her grew even stronger. Heforted


    her, "Little Specky, this case has nothing to do with you. You don''t have to me yourself anymore."


    Adrienne had a bad feeling in her heart. She got more and more emotional as she spoke, "The


    Western Suburb Team kept saying they couldn''t find the murderer, but they only took half a day to


    confirm that the deceased in Liley Park was the murderer of the western suburb case and hastily


    closed the case. Even if we assume these two cases were rted and that the case was a simple


    open-and-shut case, it would still take them two days to sort out the evidence. If everyone handled


    cases like this, would there still be any justice left in this world? I''m afraid the world would probably


    fall into chaos."


    Jefferson grasped Adrienne''s hand tightly. "There are many dark and disgusting things in this world.


    We are so small that we can''t change the world. However, we can do our best to shine a light on the


    people around us and be a positive person in their life."

    This was Jefferson''s first time saying something so empowering. Adrienne felt like she was seeing a


    new side of him.


    Jefferson had a bad temper and he often scolded her for being stupid. But when she was with him,


    she felt the most rxed. She felt safe and secure.


    On the other hand, other people might be nice to her on the surface, but in their hearts, they were


    trying to think of how to chase her away...


    Perhaps it would be better not topare people. When she did, the disparity suddenly became so


    obvious.


    That was right! Adrienne thought.


    What Jefferson said was right. They were so small that they could not change the world, but they


    could stay true to themselves and be positive.


    "For my friends!" Adrienne told herself.


    "And for myself!"


    After thinking it through, Adrienne naturally calmed down. She looked out of the window and uttered


    softly, "If I''m not wrong, I think the western suburb and Liley Park''s cases must be rted to my


    parents'' case. If we wanted to find out the truth of the case two years ago, we must first find out who


    the murderer behind these two cases is."
