My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1757

Adrienne did not question Zelson's appearance and called the police right away.

After the phone call, the two of them waited in place without any rash movements. They, as members of a forensic team, knew how important it was to preserve the crime scene.

Zelson saw Adrienne trembling. He walked to her side hurriedly and patted her on the back, comforting her, "Adrienne, don't be afraid. The police will come soon."

"Mr. Zelson, I'm fine. Don't worry about me," Adrienne responded. She looked at the victim lying on the ground. The man looked to be in his early thirties; he was still quite young.

Who would choose to kill him on such a night?

What was written on the torn note he was holding tightly in his hand?

Could he be the murderer who had witnessed her parents' death two years ago?

If so, was it possible to prove that the murderer who killed her parents knew that she had been secretly investigating their murder case?

Adrienne had told Zelson not to worry. However, when Zelson noticed her putting on a tough front and saw through her fragility, he couldn't help but be concerned. He said, "Adrienne, stop staring at it. Come and sit here for a while."

Adrienne did not respond.

Zelson wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.

He knew that Adrienne was an agreeable person who was willing to compromise on most things. However, if it had something to do with her parents' murder, she would remain firm on it. No one would be able to persuade her otherwise.

Even though it was pouring with rain, it didn't take long for the police to arrive.

The sergeant in charge of the local criminal police team was a man named Jarred Leopold. After a simple inspection of the scene, he asked, as was routine, "Which one of you was the first one who found the victim? And who called the police?"

Zelson and Adrienne showed their identity cards.

Adrienne remembered Jarred. She had met him before, on a day which she wanted to erase from her memory completely. She answered, "Sergant Leopold, I was the first to find the victim. It was also me who called the police."

Jarred took Adrienne's identity card and looked at it. "Both of you are from the forensic team of the Paramount Criminal Police Team in Chatterton Town?"

"Yes, both of us."

Jarred stared at Adrienne with suspicion and asked again, "It's so late at night and it's pouring. Why are you at an abandoned farm more than 100 kilometers away from Paramount Area? And you coincidentally chanced upon a murder case?"

Zelson took offense at Jarred's attitude. It was as though they were criminals being interrogated. He took two steps forward, stood in front of Adrienne, and said, "Sir, we reported the case. We are not suspects. Please mind your tone."

Jarred returned the identity cards to them and replied, "As forensic experts, both of you should know very well that we have to act upon what evidence we have. Therefore, both of you, please come to the police station with me to give a detailed statement."

"Okay." In order not to leave out any useful details and clues, Adrienne recalled the incident carefully for a while before saying, "I left the Paramount Criminal Police Team at about seven o'clock in the evening and hurried to Winey Farm in the western suburb. Due to the heavy rain, it took me about three hours to arrive."

"When I arrived, I pulled over and turned off the ignition. I turned on my phone's flashlight first before I got out of the car. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a black shadow running rapidly past me into the darkness and rain." Adrienne clenched her fists, attempting to suppress the inexplicable resentment in her heart. She continued, "Before I could even respond, I saw blood on the ground. I followed the blood instinctively and saw the victim."

Adrienne loosened her fists, took a deep breath, and then said again, "As I am a forensic doctor, I wanted to save the victim. But when I discovered the victim, he was already dead."

Jarred's gaze on her was unflinching. He could feel the sorrow hidden deep in her heart, which compelled him towant to stop the interrogation right away. However, he knew that sympathy was no basis for abusing his powers. "Who was the man with you? Why was he here?"

Adrienne answered, "He is my leader and mentor, Zelson Jacob. He is a well- known young forensic doctor in Chatterton Town."

Zelson had quite the reputation. All police forces in Chatterton Town knew him, and that included Jarred himself. However, since the matter was a criminal affair, Jarred had to ask about every single detail of the matter. "Did he come with you?"

"No. He appeared only after I found the victim. I don't know why he showed up." Adrienne shook her head. She remembered that she had also asked Zelson the same question, but he did not answer her.

At the same time, Zelson was also subjected to a routine interrogation in another room.

"Why did you appear at an abandoned farm in the middle of the night?" the police officer inquired.

Zelson looked at the police officer and answered in a casual tone, "Because I was worried about her."
