Chapter 1907


    For the few months after Florence had moved there, the only person whom she had interacted with


    was Susan. On top of that, the one who had reported her death to the police was also her so it was


    inevitable that the police would have to interrogate her.


    "You were the one who called the police?" Jefferson asked as he sized Susan up. She was about


    40 years old, sturdy in physique, and her makeup on the heavy side. Moreover, she might have


    been shell-shocked, to which her makeup waspletely ruined, making her look a little scary.


    Susan nodded in panic and answered, "Yes, I was the one who called the police."


    Jefferson looked at her and fell silent for a moment. Then, he asked, "When did you find out that


    Florence was dead?"


    "I..." Susan was still in a state of shock, so her brain was working rather slowly. After a few seconds,


    she answered, "I made an appointment with her, saying that I''d go over to her ce at 9pm tonight


    to collect the rent. However, when I came here at the appointed time, no one answered the door, so


    I used the spare key to open the door."


    At that point, Susan''s fear and shock multiplied. She said while trembling, "When I opened the door,


    I saw her lying on the sofa. I thought that she was asleep, so I approached her and called her, but


    she didn''t answer me. That was when I learned that she was dead. I was so scared that I ran home


    immediately. After telling this to my family, they helped me call the police."


    Jefferson asked again, "I heard that you are the only person Florence had interacted with during the


    course of her time living here, so did you find anything suspicious about her?"


    Susan shook her head. Then she thought of something and said, "Yesterday, she did mention to me


    that she''d found the father of her child, and she was very happy. I''m not sure if that counts as


    suspicious though."


    "She found the child''s father? Could it be..." Jefferson found that it suspicious. "Tell me every detail


    you know."


    Susan continued, "Florence told me that her pregnancy was a premarital one. Her family was


    ashamed of her when they heard of the news, so they asked her to get rid of the baby. But she


    didn''t want to do so, so she ran away from home. I asked her about the child''s father''s


    whereabouts, and why he was not by her side, but she said that they were not fated to be together.''"


    Jefferson continued to ask, "Do you know who the father of the child is?"

    Susan shook her head and said, "Even though Florence had lived here for several months, the man


    had never showed up at all. Later on, through our conversation, I learned that she loved that man


    very much. She told me that even if the man didn''t love her, and even if he didn''t know the child''s


    existence, she would still choose to give birth to the child and raise the child properly. s, how


    could there still be such a silly girl in this modern day and age?"


    "So, you''re saying that the child''s father didn''t know about the child''s existence?" A figure suddenly


    shed across Jefferson''s mind, which froze his body a little.


    Before the pregnant woman showed up at Freddy''s door, he did not know that she was pregnant


    with his child either, and it was said that the woman seemed to be deeply in love with him.


    Susan continued, "During the few months Florence lived here, she was rarely happy, and I seldom


    saw her smiling, so much so that I thought she didn''t know how to smile. Until yesterday. She was


    over the moon and even her voice sounded so much happier. She was happy because she had


    found her child''s father, and she thought that the child could be born with a father."


    Thinking of how Florence had looked the day before, Susan''s heart ached once again. "She had


    been trying very hard to live on even when she was pregnant and she never caused any trouble for


    anyone either. Everything was developing in the right direction, so how could such a thing happen


    all of a sudden? Who on earth would do such a cruel thing to a pregnant woman? It''s not one life,


    but two. How crazy is the murderer?"


    Some things were so coincidental that it made Jefferson feel a little uneasy. He immediately ordered


    the officers, "Find the father of the child immediately."


    He had to confirm if the victim had anything to do with Freddy only then could his restless heart be


    at ease.


    A police officer handed a photo to Jefferson and said, "Captain Hefner, we found a picture of a man


    in the inteyer of the victim''s wallet. Could he be the child''s father?"


    Jefferson took over the photo, and upon looking carefully, his blood almost froze.


    He was just wondering if the victim had something to do with Freddy, and Freddy''s photo appeared


    right in front of him at that instant. What a f*cking coincidence. Jefferson thought.


    Was the victim really the woman who Freddy and Freya had met the day before?


    The police officer added, "Captain Hefner, well take the photo back to the station first. If the


    information of this man shows up in the database, we will be able to find him quickly, if not..."


    "There''s no need. I have this person''s contact information. Contact him and ask him toe over to


    assist in the investigation." Jefferson handed the photo back to the police officer and said, "Search


    through the crime scene again. Make sure not to miss any tiny details."


    ? ? ?


    Florence''s house was tidy, and there was no trace of collision. There were two cups on the coffee


    table, and it seemed that she had a guest with her just then. Hence, the officers surmised that the


    murderer was probably an acquaintance to the victim.


    Among the two cups on the coffee table, one of them contained harmful substances. The forensic


    officer managed to collect some saliva samples that matched Florence''s DNA, proving that she had


    drunk from that cup.


    As for the other cup, the forensic officers did not find any saliva on it, hence unable to extract any


    DNA from it. However, they managed to collect twoplete set of fingerprints that were left on the


    cup.


    One of the two sets of fingerprints belonged to the victim, while the other did not, nor did it belong to


    Susan who asionally visited Florence.


    So right then, the suspect would be the man in the photo that was kept inside Florence''s wallet.


    Since Jefferson had Freddy''s contact number, they were able to contact him immediately. Freddy


    rushed to the Paramount Criminal Police Team as soon as he had received the call.


    The person who received him was Jefferson. Freddy asked as soon as they met, "Jefferson, what


    happened? Why do you need me to help you solve a case?"


    Jefferson handed the victim''s photo to Freddy and asked, "Do you know her?"


    Freddy was not familiar with the woman in the photo, but it was a woman whom he could never


    forget. Her sudden appearance was the main reason he and Freya were now divorced. "Jefferson,


    how did you get this woman''s photo?"


    "So you really do know her?" Jefferson thought that Freddy had nothing to do with Florence, but


    since Freddy had given him a positive answer, he had no choice but to officially rule Freddy in on


    the suspect list.


    Freddy nodded and said, "She''s the woman who suddenly showed up at our door yesterday and


    imed that she was pregnant with my child."


    Jefferson spoke in a stern voice. "This woman''s sudden appearance had ruined the peaceful life


    you had with Freya, and on top of it, you can''t be together with the woman you love anymore. You


    must really hate her, to the point that you wanted to kill her."
