Chapter 1857
There was only one set of keys to open the door to the rooftop, which Pablo had always carried with
him. Usually, no one was willing to go to the rooftop.
On the 10th of every month, the cleaners would clean the rooftop. Pablo would open and close the
door himself. The key had never left his side.
Now that a decayed corpse had suddenly appeared on the rooftop, it would make sense that he
was treated as the prime suspect.
At this time, Pablo felt that he could not argue against it. "I don''t know who killed the person and
dumped the body on the rooftop, but I''m sure I didn''t kill anyone. You must find out who the killer is.
You shouldn''t use a good citizen like me wrongly ."
"Are you sure you didn''t kill him?" Jefferson retorted with a stoic face. No one could tell what he was
thinking.
Pablo argued, "Captain Hefner, please think about it carefully. Everyone in Peaksky Building knows
that the only key to open the door to the rooftop is in my hands. If I really killed someone, would I
have dumped the body on the rooftop and let you catch me? I would never do that unless I''m an
idiot."
"No, you''re not an idiot. On the contrary, you''re brilliant. Jefferson let out augh and added, "You
just said that everyone in Peaksky Building knew that you have the key, and that you''ll be the first
person that people will think of if anything happened. However, just as you mentioned, you''re not
that stupid. No one would think that you would dump the body there, then you wouldn''t be
suspected... For that very reason, we can''t rule out the possibility that you may be the murderer who
dumped the body there."
"Captain Hefner, you''re the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team. Why aren''t you out
there catching the murderer but here interrogating an innocent man like me?" Pablo continued, "If
you''re using me of murder, then show me the evidence. Otherwise, I have the right to sue you
for nder."
"Innocent?" Jefferson mmed his hand on the table and yelled, "Mr. ck, you said you didn''t kill
anyone, so could you please tell me what''s your rtionship with Yannis Leopold, the woman who
jumped off from Peaksky Building twenty years ago?"
Although the name had not been mentioned for a long time, Pablo would never forget this name.
When he heard this, Pablo felt a chill all over his body. He was so surprised that he couldn''t even
utter a single word.
It was the same for Quill. Both Jefferson and Quill found out about the rotten corpse and went to the
crime scene together. Then, they returned to the police station together. Although Jefferson seemed
like he didn''t care much about the case, he had gathered a lot of information. Not only did he find
out about the suicide cases, he even knew the names of the deceased. It indeed wasn''t a surprise
that he was this sessful.
"Speak!" Jefferson shouted.
Pablo was scared and stammered, "I-1-1... That woman was a mistress who destroyed families.
How could I have anything to do with her? I don''t know her. She jumped off the building because of
retribution."
"Pablo, you really are persistent, aren''t you? If you want evidence, I''ll give it to you." Jefferson took
out the remote control, turned on the TV mounted to the wall, and asked, "Do you still remember
this?"
A picture of a wristwatch appeared on the TV. It was a man''s watch. Twenty years ago, this watch
would be worth more than 10,000 dors. The price was sky high and ordinary people would not be
able to afford it.
Pablo was stunned. "I didn''t give her this watch. I didn''t give her this..."
"Did I say that this watch belonged to Yannis? Did I say that you have given it to her? Mr. ck,
you''re confessing on your own," Jefferson mocked coldly.
"I don''t know who this watch belongs to," Pablomented. "I''m just talking nonsense. You can''t
convict me because of that."

Jefferson clenched his fists and sneered, "You know you''ll get a lighter sentence if you tell the truth,
right?"
"Captain Hefner, since I''m here, are you going to make sure that I won''t be able to leave without a
charge? Pablo gritted his teeth and insisted, "Like I said, if you''re using me of being a murderer,
provide the evidence. Otherwise, I will sue you for nder."
"Mr. ck, I''ll hand over the evidence you asked for to you personally." Jefferson stood up, kicked
away the chair, and turned to leave. "I hope you can be as tough as you are now then. Hopefully,
you can still righteously say that you''re innocent by then."
The coroner''s report from the forensic department was not ready yet. Jefferson didn''t even know the
exact time of death nor had he gotten the results for the trace evidence. The information he had at
hand was too little, so it was hard for him to lock onto a target.
Aftering out of the interrogation room, Quill immediately caught up Jefferson and questioned,
"Captain Hefner, do you think that Pablo is the murderer, and that he''s involved with the suicide
from 20 years ago?"
"Before the autopsy and crime scene reportse out, I can''t be sure who the real murderer is."
Jefferson touched his forehead and added, "But I''m confident that Pablo had something to do with
Yannis Leopold''s suicide."
Quill was not sure. "Where did that watche from? How can that watch prove that Pablo had
something to do with Yannis'' death?"
"At first, I wasn''t sure if Yannis''s death had something to do with Pablo. It was just a bluff. I didn''t
expect him to crumble that easily." Jefferson admitted.
Quill questioned again, "Where did you get that watch?"
"From Yannis'' belongings." At that time, Yannis was just an ordinary employee of thepany. She
couldn''t afford to buy this watch even with ten years'' worth of her sry. Jefferson could sense that
something was wrong the moment he read the files.
Quill felt ashamed. He had never thought that this case would have anything to do with the suicide
incident from 20 years ago.
Jefferson stopped and looked back at the interrogation room. "If Yannis really had something to do
with Pablo, he will certainly be guilt-ridden. Keep an eye on him and see what he''s up to."
"Okay, Captain Hefner. I''ll keep an eye on him now." After today''s incident, Quill was convinced of
Jefferson''s capabilities.
He finally understood why Jefferson could solve so many cases. Jefferson didn''t possess any
magical powers as he thought, and he couldn''t tell at a nce who the murderer was too.
When Jefferson was solving cases, he needed evidence and other departments to cooperate with
him, just like everyone else.
Jefferson''s advantage was that he could react quickly, that he had done more research than anyone
else. He could see things more clearly than anyone else.
