Chapter 1874


    "If Aaron was the killer, he wouldn''t have jumped off the building just like that," Jefferson analyzed.


    "It''s clear that Aaron doesn''t have the mental endurance to kill and dismember bodies."


    Quill said again, "Also, I did notice something too, but I don''t know if my judgment is right."


    "Tell me about it," Jefferson urged.


    Quill continued, "Judging by the conversation between me and Aaron, he was reluctant to leave his


    wife and child behind, but someone might have promised to take care of them, which was why he


    jumped off the building."


    "Someone is obviously pulling strings behind the scenes. Perhaps it was the real killer who ordered


    him to return to Chatterton Town. It''s just a decoy." Jefferson looked at Quill and added, "You should


    go home and spend time with your family. Don''t think about work for the time being and don''t reveal


    the conversation we just had to anyone else."


    Quill knew exactly how serious the matter was, so he did not dare to disclose the news. He nodded


    in agreement. "Got it, Captain Hefner."


    After Quill left, Jefferson immediately ordered everyone in the team to stop working on anything


    rted to the dismemberment case. From that point onwards, the case would be handled by


    another team. The Paramount Criminal Police Team would no longer be in charge of this case.


    The Paramount Criminal Police Team had spent a log of human resources on this case, but now


    they were told to stand down. Although many officers had doubts, they understood that even if they


    continued to investigate, they might not be able to solve the case. It would then be aplete


    waste of effort.


    However, only Jefferson knew that he wouldn''t keep his hands off this case just like that. He would


    continue investigating until the truth was revealed. When he left the headquarters, he told Harold


    not to be a drag on him because without the help from the Paramount Criminal Police Team, he


    could only rely on Harold.


    Jefferson knew very well that the dismemberment case was targeting him. However, the killer might


    have misunderstood something. He wasn''t going up against Jefferson, but thew.


    Now that the killer was in the dark, the killer could witness everything Jefferson was doing.


    For the time being, the killer had the upper hand. However, justice would prevail and the truth would


    be revealed one day.


    It was almost 9 p.m. when Jefferson finished work. He finally had the time to look for Adrienne at the


    forensics department. He thought that he had been busy enough, but Adrienne was even busier.


    She was absorbed in a pile of documents. He had been in the room for quite a while, but she did


    not even notice him.


    Focused women were the most attractive. His Little Specky was already as beautiful as a fairy but


    she looked even more beautiful now.


    He stood a few steps away from her and watched her quietly. He could not bear to make a sound to


    destroy such a beautiful scene.


    After a long time, Adrienne finally looked up from the pile of documents. When she raised her head,


    she couldn''t see clearly. She could only see a vague figure in front of her. She parted her lips and


    asked, "Daddy?"


    Daddy?


    Jefferson raised his eyebrows in amusement. "I don''t have that kind of fetish. Please don''t call me


    that."


    "Oh, it''s you." Adrienne''s raised eyebrows lowered as disappointment appeared on her face, which


    made Jefferson extremely dissatisfied. "Are you so disappointed to see me?"


    "No..." The moment she raised her head, a vague memory shed through her mind. Whenever she


    was reading a book in the past, her father would stand in front of her desk and look at her quietly.


    At that time, she would always think that her father still regarded her as a child, so she was


    somewhat unhappy whenever her father looked at her like that. Now, when she thought about it,


    she felt that it was a beautiful memory. It was a pity that she would never be able to experience it


    again.


    If God gave her another chance, she would stick to her parents every day. No matter how they


    drove her away, she would never leave them, nor would she leave them to further her studies


    abroad.


    "You''re not done yet?" Jefferson walked to her side and helped her organize the files. "It''s time to


    get off work. Pack up and let''s go home."


    "Yes, I''ve been quite busy, but it''s all a waste of time. I didn''t find anything today." The longer the


    case dragged on, the less likely they could solve the case. More importantly, Adrienne was worried


    that would be another innocent victim.


    "The dismemberment case had been handed over to another team. The Paramount Criminal Police


    Team is not in charge of it anymore." Jefferson knew that Adrienne was busy with work and


    certainly did not see the message he had sent her, so he informed her patiently.


    "We''re giving up? That''s it? Are we going to let the murderer continue to go unpunished?" Adrienne


    was extremely emotional as she asked those questions in session.


    Was this case going to be like her parent''s case from two years ago? The case had be a cold


    case because they couldn''t find the murderer. Then two yearster, they just randomly used


    someone and the case was closed.


    All of a sudden, Adrienne felt a little suffocated. It was hard to breathe.


    Noticing her pale face, Jefferson knew that she was in pain, so he pulled her into his arms and held


    her tightly. "Little Specky, I will definitely do what I''ve promised you, do you hear that?"


    "I know you''ll do that but I''m just afraid." Adrienne bit her lip and looked up at Jefferson. "Jeff, do


    you know what was going through my mind when I saw my parents'' corpses two years ago?"


    Jefferson didn''t know what she was thinking, but he knew it was definitely not something pleasant


    which was why her face was pale as she thought about it. "It''s all in the past now. Don''t think about


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    it anymore." "They are my parents. As their daughter, I couldn''t even see theirplete bodies.


    Just with my naked eyes, I couldn''t even tell whether the bodies are actually theirs. How can I not


    think about it?" Adrienne was not only thinking about her parents, but also about those who were


    innocent like her parents. "I''m afraid that more innocent people will lose their loved ones like me. I


    just couldn''t imagine how helpless and terrified they would be when they see the bodies of their


    loved ones."


    "But you''re the only one I''m worried about. As long as you''re by my side, I''m not afraid of anything.


    No matter how evil the enemy is, he''s nothing in my eyes." Yes, as the captain of the Paramount


    Criminal Police Team, he was responsible for the safety of the people. However, he had to make


    sure that his lover was safe and sound by his side. Otherwise, how would he have the mood to


    worry about other cases?


    "But..."


    "No buts. I will help you to pack up while you get changed. Let''s have dinner together and go home


    to have a good sleep. It will definitely be a great day tomorrow. No demon and devil will be able to


    stay hidden."


    Adrienne whispered, "Okay, I''ll listen to you."


    Good gj?|i" Jefferson lowered his head and nted a gentle kiss on her forehead. He rubbed her


    head again and sighed, "My Little Specky indeed is a lovable woman."
