Chapter 1878
However, Adrienne waspletely immersed in the case. She pushed her sses up the bridge of
her nose and continued, "Five years ago, a r*pe and murder case urred in Hill City. At that time,
we couldn''t find the crime scene, and the suspect only admitted to r*ping the victim and denied that
he had murdered her. In the end, the police didn''t have enough evidence to charge the suspect for
murder and they couldn''t solve the case. The case was then dyed for another two years before
the murderer got what he deserved. If the current case advanced that way, we would be in a very
passive position. It may take a lot of time and effort to bring the murderer to justice. Do you
understand my worries?"
"Yes, I do, but you''ll still have to eat, right?" Jefferson pushed a dish to her front and urged, "Let''s
discuss this after we''ve eaten, okay? Otherwise, I''ll make you go home and rest."
Upon hearing that, Adrienne became so anxious that her lips turned pale. She defended, "Jefferson,
I''m not trying to start a fight with you but as the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, you
have the obligation and responsibility to find the murderer as soon as possible."
"Little Specky..." Jefferson looked at her as he spoke. In his overbearing gaze, Adrienne noticed
there was a mixed of emotions. "Yes, I am the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, but
at the same time, I am also your man and your husband. Don''t you understand my worries?"
Adrienne was a little confused, but she seemed to have understood his intentions after a short
while. Jefferson was concerned about her, and he was afraid that she would neglect herself as she
waspletely wrapped up with work... As she thought so, she smiled apologetically. "I''m sorry, I
was too focused on the case, and I forgot to pay attention to myself. I will try to improve on that as
much as possible in the future so that I won''t worry you anymore."
"Great! Let''s eat now then." Jefferson picked some food for her andmented, "Your worries are
not unreasonable, too. I will send another group of people to look for the crime scene."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"Okay, okay... Let''s dig in and get back to work after this." Adrienne quickly ate a few mouthfuls and
looked up at Jefferson with a smile.
Her smile made Jefferson feel uneasy once again. He secretly scolded, "You little idiot, I will
definitely teach you a lesson and make you cry for mercy one day."
Five years ago, the case that happened in Hill City caused a sensation throughout the city. Although
Jefferson never looked into the case, he had heard of it before. After Adrienne reminded him, he
thought it was necessary to develop a method to prevent the case from going into a deadlock, just
like what had happened to the previous case. He absolutely would not allow the murderer to escape
under his eyes.
Gordan''s DNA test results were out, and it showed that the semen sample collected on Shermaine''s
vaginal vault matched Gordan''s DNA.
Facing the hard evidence, Gordan could only tell the truth.
He hesitated and exined, "Captain Hefner, I admit that I did have sex with Shermaine more than
once, many times in fact. But she and I were in love with each other, and I had her consent."
"You two were in love with each other? Why didn''t youe forward and tell us that you and the
deceased were in love with each other when we interrogated you then?" Jefferson''s face turned
cold as he stared at Gordan, "Then tell me, how in love were the both of you?"
"I didn''t tell you guys before this because it wasn''t something that I can be honest with. Plus, I''m
also afraid that my wife will find out about it, so..." Gordan wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead
and rified, "As I said before, my wife works out of town. She woulde back once a while
during the weekend or even once in half a year."
Gordan took a peep at Jefferson. When he saw that there was no change in his expression, he
added, "Captain Hefner, we are both men, and there are some things that we can both understand.
Just think about it, I''m a man in his prime age, but I couldn''t live a normal married life with my wife.
Of course I''ll feel empty and lonely. Then, coincidentally, Shermaine, a young and beautiful college
student, showed up, so I got together with her."
"What the f*ck do you mean by we''re both men? And who the hell has amon understanding
with you? If you think that you can get together with another woman when your wife isn''t by your
side, then why did you get married in the first ce?" Jefferson really couldn''t understand men who
cheated on their significant half. What was the point of them getting married to their wives if they
were just going to cheat on them? Didn''t they marry their wives because they were willing to be
loyal to them for the rest of their lives?
Gordan was a little stunned by Jefferson''s reply. He thought that since Jefferson was a man like
him, he would have the same thoughts. He never thought that Jefferson''s reaction would be like
this. How could it be that he never thought of wanting more? Gordan wondered.
Nheless, Jefferson knew that it was not the point. He quickly gathered himself and demanded,
"Continue with what you have to say."
Gordan spoke cautiously, "In less than a week of knowing each other, Shermaine and I began
dating. Later on, she told me that she will be graduating from college, and she wanted to find an
easy job. She told me to hire her into mypany and it was only then did I know that was the
reason why she approached me in the first ce. I refused to do so at first, but she wouldn''t let me
touch her if I disagreed. I hope you understand that I''m a normal man too, so it was too difficult for
me to hold back. Thus, I had no choice but to agree to hire her."
Jefferson probed further into it, "Continue."
Gordan carried on, "All my employees are doing their jobs well, and I get along with them well too.
Therefore, I can''t dismiss them just to hire Shermaine. In the end, I decided to fire an employee who
kept making mistakes, and I finally got to get Shermaine to work in mypany."
Jefferson replied, "Anything else?"
Gordan admitted, "There''s nothing else." "How was your rtionship with Shermaine after she
joined yourpany?" Jefferson asked.
Gordan revealed, "We''ve always been on good terms."
"If that''s the case, you can''t possibly have killed her," Jefferson muttered.
Gordan professed, "It''s true that I was in a rtionship with her. It''s also true that we are in a stable
rtionship, and it''s true that I didn''t kill anymore."
"But Shermaine is not satisfied with the job. She evenined that she had to work very hard
and was earning peanuts. She must''ve told you that, right? Did she not ask you to give her a raise
or perhaps a promotion?" Jefferson questioned.
Gordan''s eyes flickered, and Jefferson urged in a harsher tone, "Speak."
Gordan confessed, "She asked me to transfer her to the finance department, but the employees in
that department must be those who the bosses trust very much. Plus, I''m not the only owner of the
company so I can''t just transfer her to the finance department as I like. However, Shermaine
wouldn''t listen no matter what. She even used me of deliberately dying the matter and
quarreled with me."
Jefferson asked, "What happened after that?" Gordan became so nervous that he scratched his
head and stammered, "Th-then she scolded me for being useless, and she said a lot of harsh words
to me. She even mentioned that she would never allow me to touch her again. So I forced myself on
her in a fit of anger. It happened at around 9 p.m., the day before yesterday. After that, she left and I
never saw her again."
