Chapter 1756
After verification, Adrienne judged that the heads found by the police officers were indeed human skulls. However, whether those were the heads of the four deceased, they had to take the skulls back to the police station for a further DNA test before they could confirm it.
Looking at the scattered bones, Quill was extremely frustrated. He cursed, "Lewis is a beast. What grudges did he hold that he would do such a thing to these four people?"
Upon hearing that human skulls were found in his slaughterhouse, Victor was terrified. With trembling legs, he walked up to Quill and asked timidly, "Sergeant Scott, are these skulls really human skulls? Did Lewis really do it?"
Quill looked at Victor and replied, "Mr. Veil, please come with us to assist in the investigation."
Victor pointed at himself and questioned, "Me? I don't know anything. What can I help you with?"
Quill responded, "Didn't you just say that Lewis resigned last month? Now that the skulls of the deceased appear in your slaughterhouse, do you think it has nothing to do with you?"
Victor was terrified, but he was still sober. He clarified, "He applied for resignation last month and officially resigned on the 2nd of this month. The day before yesterday, he even came back to get the salary balance."
Quill told him, "Don't be in a hurry to explain. Go back to the police station with me first and explain it slowly."
Victor begged, "Sergeant Scott, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Did I say that it has something to do with you?"
Victor fell silent.
"Bring the witness and the evidence back to the police station for me." After giving the order to the police officers, Quill looked at Adrienne, who had just finished her work, and said, "Adrienne, I'll leave it to the forensic department to verify whether these skulls belong to the four deceased or not."
Adrienne's attitude was official and professional. "This is our duty. Sergeant Scott, don't mention it."
On the way back, Jefferson was still sitting next to Adrienne while she was still ignoring him. He was also in a pit of anger and disregarded her. It was not until he returned to the police station that he said to Quill, "Interrogate Lewis carefully, and investigate Victor carefully too."
Quill replied hurriedly, "Captain Hefner, don't worry. We'll handle this matter without delay. We'll get justice for the deceased and give a satisfactory reply to the people of Chatterton Town as soon as possible."
Without waiting for Quill to finish his words, Jefferson left and did not say goodbye to Adrienne.
Adrienne was busy until after the time to knock off work again.
Zelson looked at her and then at the time several times. He couldn't help but say with concern, "Adrienne, you may leave first if you've got stuff to do. The examination work has been completed, the next step is to wait for the release of results."
"If so, Mr. Zelson, I will leave first," Adrienne responded. In the past, if the work were not completely finished, Adrienne would not leave first no matter what. Therefore, Zelson was a little surprised when she agreed so straightforwardly that day, but he figured that it was better to not ask more about it.
Adrienne changed into casual wear hurriedly and drove to Winey Farm in the western part of the city.
That day, someone sent her an anonymous text message, which mentioned that someone had witnessed the whole process of her parents' murder.
On the night when Adrienne's parents were murdered, the rain was so heavy that no one would go outside. Therefore, there was no witness in all the trails of evidence.
At that time, the murderer had cleaned up the crime scene very thoroughly. In addition, it had rained the whole night. Hence, there was no useful evidence left outside the house, let alone a witness.
Because of this, the person in charge of the case had to list the dismember case into a headless mystery murder case as it was without any physical evidence or witness.
It was also because of this that Adrienne had investigated for two years, but she still could not find any useful clues about her parents' murder case. Just when she was almost losing hope, someone sent such a text message, which ignited her hope instantly. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Regardless of whether this piece of clue was real or not, she had to see the so- called witness in the text message and ask that
person personally if they had witnessed the murderer's crime that year.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, she heard a rumble of thunder. It seemed that it was going to rain heavily again.
The weather around July and August was always like this; the rain would fall at any time without any sign.
However, Adrienne could not care too much. In order to find a witness as soon as possible, she stepped on the gas pedal hard and sped to the western part of the city.
In a short while, the sky started to rain and it gradually got heavier. Adrienne almost couldn't see the road ahead. Thus, she had no choice but to slow down.
Usually, Adrienne would take about an hour to drive on the highway. However, since it was raining and dark, she took about three hours to reach the destination.
There were almost no customers visiting Winey Farm after the murder crime two years ago. The boss continued operations for two months, but he eventually could no longer afford it. In the end, he had to close the business. At present, the farm was a deserted farmhouse, which looked particularly spooky.
In the past two years, Adrienne had come to this place countless times. Every time she came to this place, she had a suffocating feeling. But, in order to find out who the murderer was who killed her parents, she had to come here.
She found an empty space randomly to pull over. Then, she turned on the flashlight on her phone and walked into the farm in the rain.
Just as she approached the yard, she seemed to hear footsteps. She looked over and saw a black shadow flashing before her eyes, which frightened her.
However, she did not have time to be afraid as she saw bloodstains on the ground. She followed the bloodstains, and after taking only a few steps, she found a man lying in a pool of blood.
There was a very deep wound on the man's neck. Blood was flowing out from his wound...
The vital part of his neck was injured and he lost so much blood. He was definitely going to die... However, Adrienne did not give up and still went forward to confirm it. After confirming that the injured man was already dead, she slumped to the ground.
The deceased's body was still warm and soft, which indicated that he was just killed. The black shadow she saw moments ago was probably the murderer...
Adrienne called the police hurriedly, but just then, she saw the victim holding a note tightly in his hand. Part of the note had been ripped off and part of it was still held in the victim's hand.
Perhaps the reason that the murderer killed the victim was to snatch the note from the victim. What kind of note could cause the victim to risk his life in order to protect the note?
Adrienne really wanted to know but she did not simply touch it. As this was a crime scene, any small act of hers could destroy the evidence on the scene, resulting in the police not being able to arrest the murderer.
"Adrienne..."
Suddenly, Adrienne heard Zelson's voice but it felt so unreal. She looked up and realized that it was indeed Zelson. "Mr. Zelson, why are you here?"
"Did you call the police?" Zelson did not answer her question. He glanced at the victim on the ground and frowned. "Let's call the police first and let the police come over to deal with it."
