Chapter 1879
It was really as what Adrienne had expected. Gordan admitted that he had intercourse with
Shermaine before she died, but he never admitted to killing her.
Gordan also notified them that on the day of the crime, he went home at 9 p.m. and proceeded to
help his son with his homework and that he never went out again after 10 p.m.
After that, Gordan refused to reveal anything more.
Jefferson ordered one of his subordinates to take Gordan back to the detention room before going
over to Adrienne''s office to look for her. "Dr. Carter, it was just as you had expected. Gordan
admitted that he had intercourse with Shermaine but denied the murder."
"We can''t just assume that he hasn''t killed anyone because he said so. We have to find the ce
where the body was disposed of before we can confirm that he wasn''t the murderer." Adrienne
looked up and saw that Jefferson was staring at her. Their eyes met, and for a moment, Adrienne
felt that her heart was beating so fast as if it was going to pop out. "W-why are you looking at me
like this?"
"I just realized that..." Jefferson approached her slowly, and he raised the corners of his seductive
lips as his warm breath lingered on her face. "I suddenly realized that..."
He deliberately paused and lifted Adrienne''s chin to make her look into his eyes.
"What is it?" Adrienne felt uneasy as she was being stared at by such a rare but heart-stirring gaze.
She became so nervous that her palm started to sweat, "Just say it."
Jefferson lowered his head and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Then, he continued, "I just
suddenly realized that my Little Specky isn''t an idiot after all."
Adrienne thought that he would say something pleasant. However, he ended up saying such words
after letting her wait for so long, and piquing her interest. Adrienne couldn''t help but feel
disappointed. "I''m not an idiot to begin with. It''s just you that would always say that I''m one."
"Oh..." Jefferson found it hrious when he saw her pouting her lips. He couldn''t help but want to
kiss her again. Nheless, before he could kiss her, Adrienne turned her head away and changed
the topic, "Have you found the crime scene?"
Jefferson was speechless.
He wanted to kiss her, but she started talking about the crime scene.

What a mood killer!
It really was a mood killer!
Such words echoed in Jefferson''s mind. At that moment, he didn''t feel like talking to Adrienne
anymore.
"You told me that you had arranged for two groups of people to search for the crime scene. What''s
the progress on that?" Adrienne was only thinking about work, and she had never thought that she
had ruined Jefferson''s mood.
Jefferson was annoyed, but he still answered, "Because of your kind reminder, I had already made
necessary preparations and ordered two teams to look for the location where the body was
disposed of. Just when Gordan denied that he had killed Shermaine, the search teams informed me
that they had found the ce where her body was disposed of."
Adriennemented, "In that case, it won''t be long for us to find out if Gordan is the murderer."
Jefferson nodded, "Not only did those two teams find the location, they also found bloodstains on a
broken branch. Shermaine was suffocated to death, but the forensic teams did not find any external
injuries on Shermaine''s body, so the blood on the branch shouldn''t belong to her.
Therefore, the officers immediately took a sample of the blood and sent it to theboratory for
inspection. "I''ll leave the rest to you guys then."
"Okay." Adrienne nodded. She then turned around and left. "I''ll go and get ready."
"Wait a minute!" Jefferson reached out his hand and pulled Adrienne back, but he did not speak. He
looked at her with an indecipherable gaze. Looking into his eyes, Adrienne''s heart skipped a beat.
"Wh-what''s wrong?"
"Little Specky..."Jefferson called her name and smiled. "After we solve this case, let''s take two days
off."
"Let''s decide on that after we solve the case, okay?" For some inexplicable reasons, Adrienne felt a
little disappointed in her heart.
However, her disappointment was quickly covered by her passion for work. She withdrew her hand
and hurried away.
She left in a hurry, so she definitely didn''t see Jefferson''s helpless and distressed expression.
Looking at her slender back, Jefferson shook his head and sighed, "It seems like it is true to say
that no man is wise all the time. How could I have fallen in love with such an annoying little idiot?"
The result of the blood sample collected at the crime scene soon came out.
It matched Gordan''s DNA. With that, they had irrefutable evidence to charge Gordan for the murder,
and he would have no room for quibble anymore.
Facing the solid evidence, Gordan burst into tears, criticizing himself that he shouldn''t have cheated
on his wife and let his wife and son down. He cursed himself for being an animal.
Jefferson wasn''t in a mood to listen to him scolding himself. He ordered one of his men in the
surveince room to ask Gordan to confess the whole process of the crime.
The officer knocked on the table and urged, "Gordan, since you know that you''re an animal, then tell
us the whole process of your crime."
Gordan wiped his tears and confessed, "In the afternoon on the day before yesterday, Shermaine
had a feud with Myra, but she lost the fight and came to me as she wanted me to teach Myra a
lesson on her behalf. She wanted me to fire Myra and let her take over Myra''s position. I didn''t want
to do that at that time, but Shermaine seduced me so we had sex again. Shermaine was very wild
when we were doing it. I believe you know what I meant."
The officer yelled coldly, "We don''t know! Just get
to the point!"
Gordan continued, "She was the one who took the initiative. She was so into it that I wanted to do
her merciless in bed... When everything was over, Shermaine pestered on the matter of firing Myra
again. I hesitated and didn''t give her a direct answer, so she knew that I was skimping at her. Then
she began to scold me again and threatened me that she would disclose our rtionship. She even
mentioned that she would sue me for r*pe and ruin my reputation."
At that point, Gordan gave himself a hard p and cried out bitterly, "It''s all my fault. If I had
controlled myself back then, all these mess wouldn''t have happened."
The officer remarked, "If you knew that it would be like this, why did you do that in the first ce?
Anyway, please get to the main point. How did you kill Shermaine?"
"Sir, please believe me. I really didn''t mean to kill her. I really never thought of killing her." Gordan
wiped his tears off but tears continued to stream down, "At that time, she was scolding me with
harsh words, so I pressed her onto the bed in a fit of anger to shut her up. But even when I did that,
she didn''t stop cursing. So I covered her face with a pillow. Nevertheless, the more she struggled,
the more force I used. I continued to do so until she didn''t move. Then, I hurriedly took the pillow
away and tried to wake her up, but she didn''t. She was no longer breathing... It was only then I
realized that I might have killed her."
Gordan copsed into the chair feebly. Even though he had no strength left, he didn''t stop talking,
"Sir, I didn''t want to kill anyone. I really didn''t mean it. Please believe me. Don''t sentence me to
death. I still have a wife and children to take care of..."
"If you knew that you had a wife and a child, you should have never involved yourself with her and
abide by thew. Whether you killed her on purpose or not, and what will be your sentence, it can
only be decided in court. It''s useless toin in front of us." The officer knocked on the table
and added, "How did you deal with the body after you killed her?"
