My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1738

Adrienne and Zelson had yet to enter the office, but Quill was already running towards them. "Zelson, Adrienne, today is the deadline. If I can't solve the case, my boss will definitely skin me alive. Did you guys manage to uncover anything?"

Early in the morning, Quill had already gone to several departments to ask for information. The forensic lab had given him some clues, but they were not enough to find the murderer's whereabouts.

Zelson answered, "We haven't found any secondary DNA on the two female headless corpses, so it's relatively difficult to find the murderer. However, we're not totally lost. The wounds on the two bodies were made by the same kind of weapon, and the residue left by the weapon has been handed over to the lab. We'll send you the report as soon as we can."

"I've gotten the report already. Judging from the existing clues, the two cases should have been committed by the same murderer. But, we haven't found the murder weapon and the heads of the deceased yet, so we have no leads on where the murderer might be."

Quill was so anxious that he scratched his head. He had been a criminal police officer for ten years, and it hadn't been easy for him to rise to his current position as a sergeant. He had cracked many big cases before, but he was at a complete loss with the two headless corpses.

Looking at Quill who was so distressed, Adrienne also had her concerns. "What I am most worried about now is that the murderer will continue to commit crimes, and more innocent women will get hurt."

As soon as Adrienne spoke, Quill stopped scratching his head instantly. He stared at Adrienne as he thought, "F*ck, that is what I'm most afraid of now."

"Ring, ring, ring-"

Quill's phone suddenly rang and he answered immediately. Adrienne noticed that Quill's expression turned solemn, and she guessed that there must be another new case.

Sure enough, Quill hung up the phone and immediately informed, "Zelson, Adrienne, I have to trouble you to come with me again. There was another murder in Paramount Area."

In the past three days, the three murder cases had taken place in Paramount Area.

There was no need for Quill to say more. Adrienne knew that the case was different at this moment. It was highly likely that this was a serial murder. If they did not catch the murderer soon, there would be more women who could get hurt.

On the way to the crime scene, Quill called his superior. "Yes, yes... I know it's my fault for not solving the case, but can you hold off scolding me till later?

He was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the window and added, "Now, you must dispatch the police to increase the patrols in Paramount Area. Before we catch the murderer, we can't give him any chances to commit more crimes."

After conversing for a long time, Quill hung up the phone. As soon as he hung up the phone, he swore, "Who would want such a thing to happen? Now that we can't catch the murderer, shouldn't we prevent him from committing another crime?"

Zelson, on the other hand, was much more rational. "Calm down, you don't have to get agitated. The higher-ups have their own rules and regulations. You can't rush these things even if you wanted to. Right now, the most important thing for us is to arrest the criminal before he commits another crime."

"Right now, someone else might fall victim again. Those people don't know how to adapt to the situation at all." Quill knew that it was

best to capture the murderer and bring him to justice before another murder happened. But, what could Quill do now that they couldn't find the murderer?

Zelson did not say anything more. Adrienne sat at the side and did not know whether she should comfort Quill. She thought about it and decided not to. After all, nothing she said would be of much help.

Quill lit a cigarette and remained silent after that.

Zelson secretly glanced at Adrienne several times and wanted to say something, but he ended up not saying anything. When they were almost at their destination, he stopped Adrienne and ordered, "Adrienne, from now on, you are not allowed to leave my sight."
