Chapter 1374
Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1374 [Eleven Jewell]
The police had discovered new evidence in the murder case.
A homeless woman had found Walter’s wallet and called Lena. This woman’s son had died on the job,
and an autopsy was conducted to investigate the cause. Lena was the forensic examiner involved in the
autopsy at that time. It turned out that the woman’s son had died from cardiac arrest during work hours.
With this cause of death being overworking, the family was able to im somepensation. Since
Lena had helped them considerably, the woman had kept Lena’s phone number in her contacts all this
while.
Therefore, when she found the evidence, she reported it to Lena instead of the police. Lena was unsure
if the woman’s story was true, so she visited the scene to confirm whether the items belonged to Walter.
Once it was verified, she immediately contacted her colleagues, and the police arrived promptly to
secure the area for evidence collection.
The authorities took Walter’s shattered phone to the tech department to recover its data, hoping to find
some clues. However, the phone was severely damaged, and data recovery posed a significant
challenge. It was also unfortunate that their top tech expert had been temporarily reassigned to another
provincial bureau to work on a cross- border fraud case and would not be back for a while.
The other staff in the tech department had limited capabilities, and breaking into the phone’s data
required an extended period. Lena knew that every second counted, as the longer they took, the more
time the perpetrator had to escape. After some contemtion, she decided to seek her husband’s help.
Her supervisor initially rejected the idea, as homicide case files were typically kept confidential, and
outsiders were not invited to participate in investigations. Lena exined the pros and cons and finally
put her career on the line, making it impossible for her supervisor to refuse. He reluctantly agreed, as
solving this high-profile murder case would greatly benefit his career. ‘Even if something went wrong, Dr.
Gray could shoulder the me,’ he thought.
Soon, Carter received a surprising call from Lena, who exined the situation. Even though he preferred
not to get involved withw enforcement, he could not bring himself to turn his wife down when she
personally called and asked for his help. So, he agreed to assist in the investigation.

When Lena brought him to the tech department, her colleagues were still busy trying to recover data
from the damaged phone. Carter watched for a while and asked, “Is this the phone?”
Lena nodded and said, “We need to recover the data inside. Can you do it?”
Carter nodded back. “Yeah, but it’ll take some time.”
“How long exactly?” Lena asked.
“I’ll have to look at the motherboard.”
Lena then turned to one of her technical colleagues and said, Mr. Thorne, can you allow him to check the
motherboard?”
Benjamin Thorne was a man in his forties with an average build and wore sses. “You don’t look like
someone who deals with these things regrly. Do you even know what you’re doing?” He sneered.
Carter smiled modestly and said, “I tinker around in my spare time, so I’d say I do have some knowledge
of what to do.”
Hearing that, Benjamin snorted, “Data recovery isn’t as simple as taking things apart and putting them
together, kid.”
Carter nodded and said. “I know. I’d appreciate your guidance, Mr. Thorne.”
Benjamin realized that his words had no impact on Carter. He knew that if he continued to belittle him, it
would only make him seem like a bully. So he reluctantly vacated his position while Carter expertly put on
a pair of disposable rubber gloves, picked up the necessary tools, and carefully examined the
motherboard.
