My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1784

Jefferson was indeed handsome, but Adrienne really did not understand how he was considered cool.

Vincent then added, "Boss, this is the famous forensic doctor of Chatterton Town, Zelson Jacob's top student. She’s Adrienne Carter."

After introducing them to each other, Vincent supposed that his boss would at least properly greet a lady even if he were bad-tempered. He never expected that Jefferson would just throw Adrienne a glance.

Jefferson then pointed the blame at him. "Just say that she's a forensic doctor. Why the hell do you have to add 'someone's student' before her name? Are you looking down on me or anyone else?"

Vincent suddenly didn't know what to say.

He felt wronged but he couldn't say anything else.

Jefferson did not press further. He just pointed to a room and ordered, "The corpse is there. Dr. Carter, please check the specific cause of death and report it to me as soon as possible."

Jefferson's words were normal but Adrienne felt uncomfortable hearing him speaking in an arrogant tone. However, it was working hours, therefore Adrienne didn't argue with him.

However, Vincent suddenly screamed out, "Bo-boss, why is there a change of the corpse?"

Jefferson immediately turned around. The dead victim's face was pale when they first saw it. It was not too ugly. At this moment, the victim's face had turned black; it was almost evident that he was poisoned to death with just a glance.

Jefferson walked towards the corpse, but Arienne warned, "Jefferson, don't go near it."

Jefferson stopped in his tracks as he was told.

Vincent thought that no one, including their higher- ups, dared to speak to Jefferson in such a tone. Adrienne, on the other hand, seemed young but she was bold.

The most important thing was that Jefferson actually listened to her.

Vincent was more interested in Jefferson's unusual reaction than the deformed corpse.

Adrienne interrogated, "Was the victim detained here the whole time before he died?"

Jefferson nodded.

Adrienne asked again, "Did you see anyone touching the body after it was discovered?"

Vincent answered quickly, "Dr. Carter, we were all waiting for you to arrive and no one touched it."

"Okay then." Adrienne quickly put on her gloves, took out the tools, and carefully examined the corpse.

Looking at Adrienne's serious look, Jefferson could not help but frown. Normally, even men would step back when seeing a corpse, yet this woman was not afraid to get closer to it.

He really wanted to turn into a corpse and lie there. In this way, without him having to take the initiative, Adrienne would approach him on her own.

It did not take long for Adrienne to roughly check on the corpse before she informed, "The victim died about two hours ago. The face has begun to turn black and there are signs of the victim being poisoned to death. There is an injury on the tongue. It is very likely that he bit himself in pain after being poisoned. As for the specific cause of death, you should send the body to the forensic department for us to do further autopsy."

Vincent scratched his head with a puzzled face. "Dr. Carter, if it weren't for the victim's face suddenly turning black, I would have thought that he committed suicide by biting his tongue."

Adrienne looked at Vincent. "Suicide by biting the own tongue is nothing but a myth. There is no medical basis at all. From the reaction of the deceased's body, the cause of his death is most probably that of being poisoned to death. Before the further autopsy, I can't give you a specific answer."

Vincent looked nervously at Jefferson and said, "Boss, we searched his body after we brought him back. We took all his things with us with nothing left on him. I don't know how he would die of poison."

"Did it mean that someone fed him with poison? What did they feed him this morning?" Jefferson questioned. He frowned and fixed his eyes on the corpse whose face had indeed turned black.

If someone had put drugs in the victim's food, it proved that there was a traitor among them. If not, how could the drug dealer poison himself to death?

Vincent replied obediently, "Boss, he just ate a bowl of porridge and two sandwiches for breakfast. The porridge and sandwiches were sent over from the cafeteria and I gave them to him personally... I went to the bathroom when he was eating. He was already dead when I came back. If I had known that such a thing would happen, I wouldn't go to the bathroom even if it was really urgent."

"I want to find out who handled today's breakfast. Check it out one by one. Everyone from the staff of the cafeteria- don't leave a single person out," commanded Jefferson.

Vincent responded, "Boss, I'll check it out right away."

"Let Austin look into it. You're suspended now," Jefferson added.

Vincent was speechless once again.

He was innocent! He was innocent!

He didn't do anything at all. Why was he suspended so suddenly?

Adrienne chimed in, "I don't know whether he was poisoned by others or not, but I advise you to check the surveillance camera to see if there was any unusual situation. I will perform the autopsy as soon as possible to find out the specific cause of the victim's death and deliver the autopsy results to you as soon as possible."

Vincent answered in a state of daze, "Okay."

Jefferson screamed, "Are you still not going to get out of here?"

Vincent was left with no words.

Couldn't Jefferson save him some face in front of outsiders? He cared about his image, bethought.

After Vincent left, Adrienne packed up her tools. She looked at Jefferson and notified him, "You should already know the general situation. After the autopsy, I will hand over the detailed autopsy results to you."

Jefferson did not say a word as if he did not care about it at all.

Adrienne added again, "Captain Hefner, I have another private matter to talk to you about other than work. I don't know if you are willing to listen to me or not."

Jefferson still did not speak and the expression on his face showed Adrienne that she should just say whatever she wanted to say.

Adrienne didn't want to look at his face, but she still had to say it. "Jefferson, it’s fine if you just scold me or shout at me normally, I am used to being bullied by you for a long time. But as a leader, can you be more polite to your colleagues? You are so arrogant and look down on everyone. Who would even want to follow you? If you are in danger when carrying out a mission in the future, no one will be willing to save you."

Jefferson still ignored her, and Adrienne did not know whether he had heard her or not.

Adrienne sighed. "Jefferson, did you hear what I said?" "Are you done with your teachings, Dr. Carter?" Jefferson mocked coldly.

Adrienne was rendered speechless.

She was just concerned about him. Why couldn't he understand human language?

Forget it, she told herself. She couldn't be bothered to care about him either.

Adrienne picked up her tools and left, but she heard Jefferson's voice coming from behind, "Idiot, be careful of those people around you. Don't be so foolish to treat everyone with full trust."

Adrienne turned around. "Are you trying to warn me to be careful of Zelson?"

Jefferson responded, "It's good that you know that."

Adrienne frowned and carried on, "Jefferson, Zelson almost had no contact with you. He probably never offended you. Why do you have such a prejudice against him?"

What did Adrienne say? Did she say that Zelson had never offended him? Jefferson thought about it and snorted. That b*stard was trying to pursue his woman every day. How could it be considered that Zelson had never offended him?

However, it was a good thing that Adrienne was not only slow in realizing his feelings for him, but she also didn't notice that Zelson was interested in her, which made him feel a little more at ease.
