Chapter 1871


    After what had happened with Edwin, the Paramount Criminal Police Team once again was


    shrouded in gloom.


    Jefferson''s arrival and the quick solving of the rotten corpse case made the other officers have high


    hopes for him.


    The whole team originally thought the dismemberment case would be solved since Jefferson was


    around, even if itcked clues. However, the fact was that as smart as Jefferson was, facing a case


    without leads, he could only proceed like ordinary people. He went on the streets to ask around,


    hoping to find some clues.


    It didn''t matter if they could find any useful clues. The most important thing was that they must not


    stop looking for evidence.


    Of course, they didn''t just walk around randomly. They had a n and acted out ordingly. They


    split into two groups and went on separately.


    Jefferson led a team and visited the rtives of the deceased couple while Quill led the other team


    to visit the close friends of the deceased couple. It took two days for them to finish talking to


    everyone. Just when the chances looked dim,


    Quill''s team made a huge discovery.


    The team had learned a lesson from Edwin''s incident. They did not get excited immediately


    because of the major discovery. Quill did not even report the discovery to Jefferson. Everyone knew


    that if they continued investigating, it was possible that they wouldn''t even be able to find the killer


    but just another innocent person.


    This time, the new suspect was Aaron Zir, who had a good rtionship with the deceased


    couple. Moreover, he was the deceased couple''s only child''s godfather. The two families had a


    rtionship closer than any of the blood rtives of the deceased couple.


    Thest time they visited, the officers asked Aaron''s wife, J Moore about Aaron''s whereabouts.


    At that time, J told them that Aaron had been working outstation for a month.

    The other neighbors could also prove that Aaron was not at home. Then, the officers also went to


    the railway department to verify it. It was confirmed that Aaron had departed Chatterton Town by


    high- speed rail, and because of that reason they didn''t investigate any further.


    This time, when they revisited the Zir Vige, Aaron was at home. When the police checked


    again, Aaron''s reply was the same as J''s. He told the police that he had just returned home two


    days ago.


    However, based on Quill''s experience, he thought that something was wrong with Aaron''s testimony


    but he could not tell the specifics. Therefore, he asked the railway department to find out when


    Aaron returned to Chatterton Town. However, they could not find any record of him returning to


    Chatterton Town by train.


    Therefore, Quill went to several other transportation departments to check it out. However, he could


    not find the records of Aaron''s return to Chatterton Town, whether by ne, ship, or car... Quill


    believed that Aaron was suspicious, but he still could not confirm how he had returned to Chatterton


    Town.


    Another two hourster, Quill received news from an online car-hailing department. It appeared that


    Aaron had avoided all means of transportation that required identification by booking a car online


    with an unverified phone number. The officer from the transportation department found him through


    the picture that was taken inside the car that Aaron had taken.


    Now, Quill had evidence that Aaron did leave Chatterton Town a month before the dismemberment


    case, but he also had evidence that he had returned on August 15th, which was two days before


    the murder.


    Aaron returned to Chatterton Town, but he didn''t go home. This alone was suspicious enough.


    After getting the evidence, Quill immediately returned to Aaron''s house to arrest him. Unexpectedly,


    it was as if Aaron had figured that they woulde back to arrest him. He had already climbed to


    the rooftop and waited for the police toe look for him.


    Many onlookers downstairs were discussing, "Mr. Zir is an honest man and he had been very


    helpful to the neighbors in the past few years. Why does he want to kill himself?"


    Someone continued, "I heard that the police went to his house this morning and interrogated him as


    if he was a criminal. He must have felt ashamed and didn''t want to live any longer."


    Someone chimed in, "That''s outrageous. How could the police push the me on him? Mr. Zir


    had always been an honest man and his reputation meant a lot to him. They''re obviously forcing


    him to death by doing that to him."


    When Quill, who had just at the scene, heard the discussion, he immediately flew into a rage. "The


    police had only asked him some routine questions. Who told you guys that they interrogated him


    like a criminal? Let me tell you, if you don''t understand the situation, don''t spread rumors."


    When the crowd saw Quill who was in his police uniform, they stopped talking at once. However,


    their expressions showed dissatisfaction.


    "Mr. Scott, I beg you. Please save Aaron! I''m begging you! Only you can save him now!" J


    rushed through the crowd with her five-year-old daughter and knelt in front of Quill. She was in tears


    as she pleaded, "Mr. Scott, Aaron is a timid man. When the police mentioned that he hadmitted


    murder, he was so scared that he climbed up the rooftop and sat there for hours. As long as you tell


    him that he didn''t kill anyone, he woulde down by himself."


    "Stop the nonsense, J. We approached him just to ask some questions. Who said we used


    him of murder? You''d better not spread rumors to confuse the crowd, or you will also be charged for


    viting thew." Originally, the discussion was already unfavorable to the police. After hearing


    what J had said, the people felt that the police had abused their power. Quill certainly would not


    allow others to nder the police. His face was livid.


    Quill''s solemnness and words made everyone angry, but they did not dare to speak out. The seeds


    of anger began to grow in their hearts. They firmly believed that Aaron wanted to kill himself


    because of the police.


    "Okay, I apologize for saying that, but could you please go up and have a word with him first, Mr.


    Scott? He told me that he would only talk to you and he wouldn''t let anyone else go near him.


    Otherwise, he would jump down from the rooftop..." J burst into tears as she asked for Quill''s


    favor.


    Since Aaron wanted to meet Quill, Quill had to do it. He ordered the other officers to contact a


    negotiation expert, and then agreed to J''s request. "I''ll see Aaron now."


    J wiped off her tears and reminded, "Mr. Scott, Aaron is timid. He didn''t actually want to die. I


    beg you to be patient with him and bring him down safely. Please tell him that my daughter and I


    won''t be able to live without him."


    "I''m going to see Aaron at your request. If I can''t persuade him, the negotiation expert will take over.


    You don''t have to worry." Quillforted J, but he did not know why he was a little flustered.


    He felt that something was going to happen.
