Chapter 1813


    "We can''t rule out such a possibility. But as I said before, what we need is evidence." Quill took the


    report from Adrienne, cleared his throat, and said, "Now the evidence is unfavorable towards


    Jefferson. If we can''t find him soon, he''ll be construed as escaping thew."


    The police officer said, "If someone is really framing Jefferson, and he''s currently missing, isn''t it


    possible that he''s dead too?"


    As soon as the police officer said that, Adrienne''s heart trembled. She had been worried but she


    hadn''t dared to think of the worst-case scenario.


    The police officer''s words were like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into her heart, making her legs


    tremble. Her knees almost gave way. Fortunately, she held onto the desk in time to stabilize herself.


    "No! Jefferson will be fine!" Adrienne forced herself to calm down. "Sergeant Scott, I''ll keep trying to


    reach him. You send some men out to search for him as well. Whether he killed someone or not,


    bringing him back is our priority."


    "I will try my best to find him." Quill patted her shoulder and said, "You just have to focus on your


    work. Don''t worry too much. You must have faith that not anyone can harm Mr. Hefner."


    Adrienne nodded. "Yes."


    Aftering out of Quill''s office, Adrienne drove to the Chatterton Town Police Team immediately.


    She wanted to see Vincent, Jefferson''s subordinate.


    Seeing Adrienne, Vincent was very friendly. "Dr. Carter, do you need me for anything?"


    Adrienne didn''t bother with small talk and directly asked, "Where''s Jefferson?"


    Vincent rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Dr. Carter, our boss''s whereabouts have always


    been uncertain. If he is not with the team, we can''t find him at all. If you want to find him, you''d


    better call him directly."


    Adrienne didn''t know if Vincent really didn''t know about Jefferson''s whereabouts or if he was


    unwilling to tell her. She asked, "Did he carry out a mission with youst night?"


    "No, no..." Their tasks were meant to be confidential. No one was allowed to know their operations.


    Furthermore, Vincent had no clue about Adrienne''s rtionship with


    Jefferson. "Dr. Carter, what do you want to see our boss for? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"


    "Didn''t you guys go on a missionst night?" Adrienne looked at Vincent, her eyes cold and


    threatening. "If not, why did Jefferson appear at a bar in Mangrove Bay?"


    "Dr. Carter..." Vincent was confused. Did Jefferson reveal his whereabouts to Dr. Carter?


    That couldn''t be right!


    Jefferson was better at concealing the secrets of their work than anyone else in their team. It was


    impossible for him to reveal the progress of their mission to a woman.


    From Vincent''s expression, Adrienne could tell that they had indeed carried out a mission.


    Adrienne said again, "There was a murder in Magre Bar in Mangrove Bay this morning. For now,


    the witness and material evidence point to Jefferson. You should know the seriousness of the


    matter."


    Vincent was stunned again, and it took him a while toe to his senses. "Dr. Carter, how is this


    possible? Our boss would never kill anyone."


    "I also believe that he wouldn''t do such a


    thing, but we need evidence to prove he didn''t." Adrienne subconsciously clenched her fists and


    said, "I couldn''t find him, so I came to see you."


    "Dr. Carter,e in and have a seat." Vincent led her into the lounge and poured her a cup of tea.


    Then, he called over two other colleagues. "Dr. Carter, we were on a missionst night. But, as you


    know, our task force operations are confidential. We are not allowed to simply disclose it to


    outsiders... Can I ask you a question? What is the rtionship between you and our boss? How did


    you know that he went on a missionst night?"


    "We have known each other since I exited my mother''s womb. We grew up together and now I am


    his legal wife. How am I not allowed to know about his whereabouts?" Yes, not only was she his


    childhood friend, but she was also legally his wife. Since he was suspected of murder, she had to


    do her best to help him. If not, who else would?


    "W- wife?" Vincent waspletely taken aback. He had never heard anything about Jefferson


    being married. How could Jefferson have a wife? But when he thought about it carefully, he realized


    that it was possible. Their boss had always been arrogant, but when facing Dr. Carter''s


    scolding, he did not say a word.


    Hence, Vincent believed what Adrienne said.


    For the safety of his boss, he decided to cooperate with her. "Dr. Carter, we did carry out a mission


    last night but we didn''t end up catching anyone. Our boss sent us all a message asking us to go


    home."


    Adrienne asked, "When did you receive hisst message?"


    "It was two o''clock in the morning. After that, we retreated ording to his orders and haven''t heard


    from him since."


    Adrienne asked again, "What kind of mission was it?"


    "Dr. Carter, we can''t tell you that. But don''t worry, we will try our best to find him too."


    "Okay, if you have any news, please inform me immediately. Thank you." Adrienne didn''t pester


    Vincent too much. She understood that they had to maintain their own confidentiality.


    After leaving the narcotics team, Adrienne immediately returned to the Paramount Criminal Police


    Team.


    As soon as she returned, she got her hands on the report of the skin cells she extracted from under


    the victim''s nails.


    ording to the report, the DNA from the


    cells collected was a match to Jefferson''s DNA from the system. Once again, a strong piece of


    evidence showed that Jefferson was the murderer.


    "Sh*t! What the hell is going on? How could his skin cells be underneath the victim''s nails?"


    Adrienne still didn''t believe that Jefferson would kill anyone. She quickly handed the report to Quill.


    "This evidence also points to Jefferson."


    When Quill got the report, he felt a headache. He said, "Get the arrest warrant immediately and


    search the entire city for Jefferson. I don''t care if you have tob through every sewer in the


    street, just get him here for me."

    In the blink of an eye, a day had passed and there was still no news from the search team.


    Jefferson seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world and disappearedpletely.


    In the conference room, the lights were bright.


    Quill, who was sitting at the head of the table, said, "Have you checked all the CCTV footage


    around the bar?"


    The police officer replied, "All the CCTVs have been checked. They all show the same thing.


    Jefferson entered the bar, but he never came


    back out."


    Since CCTV footage showed no clues, they had to start somewhere else.


    Adrienne asked, "Has the manager of the bar woken up yet?"


    A police officer said, "The doctor said he drank too much. If he wasn''t found in time, he could have


    died. He won''t be waking up anytime soon."
