Chapter 1875


    "No, I''m not." Adrienne pushed her sses up the bridge of her nose andmented, "My vision is


    getting a little blurry. I think I need to find time to get another pair of sses."


    "I''ll go with you tomorrow." Jefferson reached out his hand to take her sses off. "You always keep


    your sses on and often bury yourself in work, that''s why your power has increased so quickly.


    Don''t wear the sses anymore. I''ll be your eyes tonight."


    "No..." As soon as the sses were taken off, the whole world immediately went blur. Adrienne


    didn''t like this feeling. She wanted to take back the sses but Jefferson raised his hand and held it


    high in the sky, avoiding her with no effort. "Little Specky, I''m here by your side. What are you afraid


    of?"


    Adrienne pouted her lips and cried out, "I can''t see clearly. I feel insecure."


    Jefferson replied in an overbearing manner. ''TH make you feel safe. You have to get used to not


    wearing sses."


    Adrienne refused to give in. "It''s not like I don''t have the money to get new sses. Why do I have


    to get used to it?" "What if your sses break one day and you can''t wear them? What if I''m not by


    your side? What will you do?" It was unknown why Jefferson was insisting on her not wearing the


    sses all of a sudden. However, his persistence made Adrienne ovee the fear of not wearing


    sses. Later, in a sudden incident, Adrienne was able to escape unscathed because of this.


    "How could there be so many ''what ifs''..." Adrienne was extremely reluctant to do so, but she


    couldn''t say no. "Why are you so bossy? You don''t even let me wear sses."


    If she remembered it correctly, he didn''t like it when she didn''t wear sses when they went out in


    the past. But now, he was forcing her to take off her sses. She thought that Jefferson was


    behaving strangely. It felt like she no longer understood him.


    In fact, she did not know how beautiful she looked without her sses. Jefferson didn''t want other


    people to covet her beauty so he would insist on her wearing sses.


    However, the situation was different now. She was Jefferson''s wife. It was fine for other people to


    look at her. She belonged to him alone, so it was not a big deal for others to look at her.


    "I have always been like this. What''s the big deal for being bossy this time round?" Adrienne gritted


    her teeth as she listened to his words. At that instant, she really wanted to bite him to remind him


    that she was not a woman to be trifled with.


    Seeing her gritting her teeth, Jefferson rubbed her head with a smile and coaxed, "Don''t dawdle. Go


    get changed quickly. It''ll be daybreak if you keep dawdling."


    Adrienne argued, "Give me back my sses. I''ll give it back after I change my clothes. Is that


    okay?"


    "Just get changed. I''ll keep an eye on it for you." Jefferson insisted on not returning the sses to


    her.


    Adrienne was so angry that she stomped her feet. She turned around and went to the locker room


    to get changed. However, when she had just taken a step, both of their mobile phones rang at the


    same time. They exchanged looks and answered the calls respectively. After a while, both of them


    replied at the same time, "I''ll be there right away."


    After hanging up, Adrienne turned around to pick up the crime scene kit as she uttered, "There''s a


    new case. Let''s go over now."


    Looking at the dark circles under her eyes which appeared because she hadn''t rested well for days,


    Jefferson was distressed. He stepped forward and held her in his arms tightly. He really wanted to


    tell her, "Don''t think about work anymore! Let''s go home and have a good rest."


    However, Jefferson couldn''t say so. He put on the sses for her and patted her back. "Let''s go!"


    Phoenix Hill was a famous sight-seeing spot in the northern part of the Paramount Area. There was


    a river named Phoenix River which flowed into the sea. This sight- seeing spot was just outside the


    city and could be easily essed by various transportation, hence attracting many tourists,


    especially on weekends.


    The case took ce at Phoenix River, at the foot of Phoenix Hill.


    Two environmental workers reported the case. When they were cleaning up the garbage in the river,


    they saw a floating body. They pulled the body up and found that the woman was already dead.


    The cleaner recognized the deceased. She was Shermaine Campbell, a 23 years old youngdy


    who worked at the ticketing counter at Phoenix Hill.


    It hadn''t been long since Shermaine started working at Phoenix Hill after graduating from college.


    She was good- looking and attracted much attention. She stole the limelight of the prettiest woman


    at Phoenix Hill, Myra Jerry. The unmarried male employees were all interested in her, which


    included Myra''s boyfriend, Sibyl Gibson.


    Myra was very dissatisfied with Shermaine. Some of the employees heard that they quarreled the


    day before. During the argument, Myra even mentioned that she would kill Shermaine...


    When Jefferson arrived at the scene with Adrienne, a group of investigators reported the information


    they had collected to Jefferson. Jefferson looked around the scene as he listened to the report.


    While inspecting the scene, he ordered, "Talk to the suspects immediately."


    Adrienne was the first to approach Shermaine''s body and confirmed that she was dead. However,


    since she was found in the water, it was difficult to determine the time of death based on the surface


    of the body.


    There were no obvious fatal injuries on the body''s surface, but there were abrasions on the back of


    the clothes and several scars on the back. They must have formed when the body was being


    dragged on the ground.


    However, those were not fatal injuries and there weren''t any other injuries on the body that Adrienne


    could examine. At present, she could not tell whether the victim was already dead before being


    pushed into the river or that she had drowned.

    Adrienne had to conduct further tests to determine whether it was a homicide or an ident.


    The forensics had not evene out with a conclusion, but the on-lookers around had begun to


    argue irresistibly, "Myra is a ruthless woman. She just said that she would kill Shermaine, and she''s


    dead now. Women are scary."


    Someone continued, "Myra killed her and dumped her body into the river to create an illusion that


    she had drowned. She''s cruel but smart, and it''s scary. Just thinking about the years we have been


    working together sent chills down my spine. I hope the police will arrest her and give her a death


    sentence so that she can''t harm anyone."


    There was no evidence to prove whether the victim had died due to an ident or that she was


    murdered, but the on-lookers were already asking for Myra to be given the death sentence. Such


    statements made Adrienne frowned. She wanted to stop them, but that was not how she would


    usually handle things.


    At this moment, Adrienne heard Jefferson''s voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? The


    police haven''t discovered anything, but you guys have already settled the case. Why don''t you guys


    handle the case instead? You can even tell the judge who you think the killer is. Then you can


    request for the death sentence as well."


    The on-lookers were speechless.


    Then, Jefferson directed the investigators, "Since they have so much to say, make sure you get


    their statements too."


    Jefferson''s tone was still as overbearing as before, but it sounded delightful in Adrienne''s ears. It


    was simply the most pleasant voice in the world, which made her mood better.
