Chapter 1858


    "Quill, how did the interrogation with Captain Hefner go?" As soon as Quill went to the monitoring


    room, Tony asked him anxiously, "Did you get any information?"


    Quill shook his head and sighed, "Nothing."


    Tony imed, "Looks like the famous Jefferson Hefner of Chatterton Town is not any better after


    all."


    Quill was about to get back to work when he heard Tony''s words. He raised his head and looked at


    Tony with a slight frown. "Tony, what do you mean by that?"


    Tony continued, "It is said that since Jefferson took over the Chatterton Town Narcotics team, they


    have arrested more drug dealers in a few months than they did in years. Recently, when drug


    dealers hear his name, they would be frightened. These rumors made us think that he''spetent.


    Now, it seems that he''s just using his family name. He isn''t that capable after all."


    "I always thought you were a serious and responsible officer, that you were matured and would


    never gossip behind others'' backs. But it seems that I was wrong about you." Quill smiled and


    stopped talking. After listening to Quill''s words, Tony''s face turned pale, and he was embarrassed


    beyond words.


    Quill added, "Tony, when you don''t know a person well, don''t be so quick to make a judgment. It''s


    really not easy to know a person."

    "Yes, I was being reckless," Tony admitted embarrassingly. In fact, the reason why heined


    was that he felt injustice for Quill. In his heart, Quill was a qualified superior. Although it was said


    that he had given up on the position on his own ord, no one knew what the truth was.


    Everyone knew that someone was backing Jefferson. If he wanted to take over Quill''s position, all


    he had to do was move a finger, and Quill would have to give up his position. He would not be able


    to refuse. "Sergeant Scott, I want to ask you a question. I hope you can answer me honestly."


    Quill said, "Go ahead."


    Tony asked, "Did you really willingly request to be demoted?"


    Quill nodded and replied with certainty, "Tony, I did. I requested for it on my own ord."


    Tony asked again, "But why?"


    Quill patted Tony on the shoulder and answered earnestly, "I have been a criminal investigator for


    many years and have seen all kinds of criminals. Some were involved in manughter and were


    easier to deal with as they did not intend tomit the act. As for those cases which were


    premeditated, they could havemit murder for various reasons. It could be because they had a


    feud or it could be just a random killing. Such murderers are extremely evil. They are simply


    inhumane."


    Talking about such cold- blooded murderers, Tony felt a chill running down his spine. He had been


    involved in simr cases before. When he saw the murderer, it felt like they were so twisted that


    they would just kill anyone who looked at them for a little longer. What''s more, their means of killing


    were extremely ruthless.


    Several cases were solved by Quill, Tony, and the others. When Quill looked at Tony, he knew that


    Tony was thinking about the cases. He continued, "As long as there were murderers like these in


    the society, more innocent people will be harmed."


    Tony nodded, "Yes, they are the worst. We have to solve the case as soon as possible."


    Quill reminded, "We haven''t solved the dismemberment case yet. Since he had not only murdered


    the victims but also dismembered them, he''s probably a psychopath. I don''t want any more innocent


    victims. That was why I asked for someone more capable to lead the case."


    Tony apologized, "Quill, I was wrong for saying that. But don''t worry. I won''t do it again."


    Hearing Tony''s apologies, Quill was relieved and assured him, "Tony, we can''t tell in a day whether


    Captain Hefner is capable. If you spend more time with him, you''ll realize what kind of person he is.


    At that time, you may realize how ridiculous your words today were. I''d like to add, if it wasn''t for the


    person he cares for being here, he wouldn''t even consider the position as the captain of the


    Paramount Criminal Police Team."


    Tony nodded. "I see."


    Quill dismissed himself. "I''ll be in the monitoring room. Go do your work."


    Meanwhile, on the other side of the police station.


    Aftering out of the interrogation room, Jefferson went straight to the forensics department. He


    looked for Adrienne to ask for information. "Dr. Carter, do you have the autopsy report yet?"


    As Adrienne unbuttoned herb coat, she responded, "The autopsy has beenpleted, but we


    don''t have the results yet. However, we''ve already confirmed the time of death."


    "All I need now is the autopsy report. Can you speed it up a little?" Jefferson needed the information


    to prove his opinions. Once he had the evidence, he could bring the murderer to justice.


    "Okay. Don''t rush it. We''ll get the results soon. You can have a look at this first." It was rare to see


    Jefferson being anxious. Adrienne couldn''t help but stare at him for a little longer. He really was a


    different person at work. She handed another report to Jefferson and reported, "I found something


    suspicious here. Let me exin."


    Jefferson took the report and read it while saying, "Go ahead."


    Adrienne pointed at the red line marked on the document, "Judging from the degree of


    dposition on the body''s surface and the current weather conditions, the victim must have died


    no longer than five days ago, which means the murder had taken ce on the 5th. However, further


    tests show that the victim died about a month ago, which was around the 10thst month."


    After listening to Adrienne''s words, Jefferson instantly understood what she was trying to say. "So


    your question is how did the murderer keep the body intact for such a long time, that it only started


    dposing five days ago?"


    Adrienne nodded and added, "The body began to decay five days ago, but the time of death was a


    month ago. Why did the murderer do this?"


    "Perhaps the murderer wanted to make it as if the victim died five days ago," Jefferson flipped


    through the report and questioned, "Did you find any chemical substances on the victim?"


    Adrienne admitted, "I have gathered some fibers from the body, but the test result is not out yet."


    "Give it to me once it''s out then." Jefferson turned around and walked away. After taking a few


    steps, he ordered, "Little Specky, send the reports to my office yourself when it''s out."


    "Okay." Adrienne saw Jefferson disappear from her office like a gust of wind. She felt a little


    disappointed. However, just as she was tidying up the files, Jefferson came running back like a gust


    of wind again. Before she could react, he came close to her, kissed her on the cheek, and


    disappeared once again.


    Adrienne was stunned!
