My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1814

"Something happened in the bar and the person in charge of the bar is unconscious. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Adrienne asked.

The police officer who was in charge of following up with the bar manager answered, "We checked his records. He is usually drunk at least three times a week. There were several times where he got so drunk he needed an ambulance as well. I don't think it's a coincidence."

"Then we can only wait." Quill was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "Check the CCTV footage around the bar again. Pay attention to every detail. Even if Jefferson is the murderer, he still had to leave the bar after committing his crime. At present, he's not in the bar and there's no footage of him leaving. Surely he hasn't grown wings and flown off somewhere?"

There must have been some detail they missed out on. Once they found it, then naturally, they would be able to locate the missing Jefferson.

Quill looked at Adrienne with worry. He wanted to say a few words of comfort but

everyone was present, hence it seemed inappropriate. He raised his hand and patted Adrienne's shoulder heavily. "It will be okay. Stay strong!"

Adrienne nodded. "I know."

The others replied in unison, "Yes."

Adrienne said again, "Sergeant Scott, can I check the surveillance tapes with you?"

Adrienne was a member of the team, therefore there should be nothing wrong with her wanting to check the tapes. However, she was the wife of the criminal suspect. Quill was rather worried.

No one else knew that Adrienne was Jefferson's wife. Hence, he hadn't taken her off the job. But if Jefferson was found guilty as a murderer, everything about him will be exposed to the public, along with Adrienne's identity.

After her identity was exposed, Quill could still act like he didn't know about her and Jefferson. However, it would also mean that any evidence she gathered would be dismissed. What if Adrienne found evidence to prove that Jefferson was innocent... Quill didn't want to take the risk.

Adrienne understood Quill's worry but she didn't care anymore. "Sergeant Scott, I just want to take a look at the monitor with you.

It's not like I can do anything. What are you worried about?"

The other police officers did not understand what was going on and agreed. "Sergeant Scott, nothing's wrong with Adrienne taking a look at the footage with us."

What else could Quill say? Tell everyone that Adrienne was actually the wife of their top suspect?

Of course not, thus he could only nod and agree, "Okay, you are with me. Don't touch anything you shouldn't touch."

"Okay." Adrienne just wanted to watch the footage so that she could get nearer to the truth.

It was 1:40 in the morning when Jefferson entered the bar. He started arguing with the waiter there at around 1:43.

In the monitoring room, the staff once again started playing all the footage from the bar and around the area at 1:40.

Adrienne watched as Jefferson spoke to the waiter. From the waiter's expression, it was clear that Jefferson was making things difficult for him. During that entire time, the waiter often raised his head

to look ahead. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

'Stop!" Adrienne asked, "Sergeant

Scott, within the two minutes when they were arguing, the waiter kept avoiding Jefferson's gaze and looked ahead. What was in front of them?"

"This monitor can't capture that angle." Quill also realized that the waiter was making this small movement. "Roy, let's see if the other cameras have captured the front-facing angle from the bar counter."

Roy, Quill's subordinate, immediately brought out three other videos of the same scene. "Sergeant Scott, there is a blind spot in front of the bar. None of the four cameras in the hall could show that corner."

There was a blind corner in front of the bar. There was no camera that captured what was there. Plus, there were a lot of bar staff coming in and out. It would be very difficult to check them one by one.

Quill said again, "Go on."

The footage continued. Adrienne saw that after the quarrel between Jefferson and the waiter, Jefferson was served with a light yellow liquid. She wasn't sure if it was a regular drink or an alcoholic one.

At this time, Jefferson looked to his left as if greeting someone. Who was that?

"Mr. Roy, sorry, can you pause the video again?" Roy immediately pressed pause.

Adrienne pointed at the screen and said, "Sergeant Scott, have you noticed that Jefferson was greeting someone?"

Quill nodded. "Roy, can you show us who was sitting towards the left corner of the bar?"

Roy once again brought out the other camera angles. After checking, he said, "It's another blind spot. We can't see who was sitting in that corner."

The footage showed two suspicious timeframes, both of which the direction was a blind spot. Quill understood and said, "It seems that someone is really plotting against Mr. Hefner. They might have set this whole thing up."

Hearing Quill's analysis, Adrienne felt a tremble in her heart but she did not move. She just clenched her fists with her two arms dangling by her side.

No one knew how scared she was as she tried to calm herself down...

No matter what, she could not allow the tragedy of her parents' death two years ago to repeat itself again. She had to think of a way to help Jefferson and prove that he was innocent.

Quill continued, "Roy, let's resume."

The next scene was Jefferson walking to the

left side of the bar. After that, he could no longer be seen appearing in any of the footage. It was clear that Magre Bar had a lot of blind spots.

Although there were blind spots, there were only two ways to enter and exit the bar. Both entrances were facing the cameras, therefore whoever went in or out could be seen clearly.

Quill asked Roy to show the footage of the exits, and Adrienne and Quill watched the people who went in and out intently. However, they found nothing even after watching it twice.

On the third time, Quill had already lost hope. But because he didn't want Adrienne to be disappointed, he watched it one more time with her. The sky was already starting to darken and Quill was about to persuade Adrienne to stop watching the footage. Unexpectedly, she suddenly pointed to the screen with excitement and said, "Mr. Roy, please stop and zoom in."

Upon hearing Adrienne's words, Quill, who was about to doze off, immediately pulled himself together and looked at the big screen.

However, there were only two thin men in frame. They were completely different from Jefferson. There was nothing special about them.

Quill felt that Adrienne was hallucinating. However, he didn't expect that after Roy enlarged the picture, the image of the two men vaguely turned into three men. They were all dressed in black and the back door of the bar was very dark. Hence, despite having seen this scene several times before, they had missed out the presence of the third man.
