"Fortunately, the grandparents were taking care of the child. If it had been a weekend, the murderer might not have let the child go, right?" After listening to Adrienne's report, everyone was silent except for one person's sudden exclamation.
Everyone immediately cast their eyes on the person who spoke and then involuntarily turned their eyes to Adrienne, making her feel particularly uncomfortable.
She didn't need other people's sympathy.
Adrienne avoided the eyes of everyone and informed them, "I am done with my report. Sergeant Scott, is there anything you're still unclear on?"
"No. You've given all the results you can. Now it's up to us." Quill clapped his hands. "Everyone, this case has caused heated discussions among the public, causing small-scale panic. The superiors are watching us closely and they have set us a one- week deadline. Let's split up and look for clues."
Zelson was the first to stand up. "I will run more tests as well. Hopefully, more clues will show up."
"Thank you for your hard work, Zelson." Quill nodded and swept his gaze across the people present. "Skye, Gail, the two of you go visit the neighbors of the couple to see if there's any possible business rivalry. Morgan, follow me to visit the couple's parents."
"Sigh!" Quill let out a long breath inwardly.
When he thought about how he had to pay a visit to the deceased's parents, he had another headache.
He couldn't bear the sight of breaking the news to the elders.
He really hoped that there would never be a murder case again. He would honestly rather lose his job.
After the meeting.
Zelson stopped Adrienne and said, "Adrienne, you've been busy for two days straight. Go back and rest for a while."
"Everyone is busy looking for clues. How can I go back for a rest at this time?" Adrienne shook her head. She looked upset. She didn't like how everyone took extra care of her and treated her with special care.
She felt like she had never allowed her personal emotions to affect her work or burden others for the past two years.
"Adrienne, your health is the most important. You can only work hard if you take good care of yourself first." The worry in Zelson's eyes couldn't be hidden no matter how hard he tried to hide it. However, because Adrienne wasn't paying attention to him, she didn't realize it.
"Mr. Zelson, if you guys can continue working, why can't I? I'll go to the dissection room to see if I can find anything." After saying that, Adrienne smiled lightly at him and turned around to leave.
Looking at the pieces of flesh that had begun to rot, Adrienne didn't even flinch. She examined them carefully again and again. Other than getting basic information, they hadn't found anything, not even what kind of murder weapon might have been used.
Looking at the pieces one by one, another picture suddenly emerged in her mind. In a trance, the corpses seemed to have become her parents. The corpse suddenly took the form of a bloody human.
She looked at Adrienne with tears in her eyes. "Adrienne, save me, save me..."
"Mother..." Adrienne felt that her heart seemed to have been stabbed by someone; she was in so much pain that she could not breathe for a moment. "Who was it? Who killed you and Dad?"
"Adrienne..." In a blink of an eye, the blurry scene before her eyes disappeared. Adrienne woke up from the illusion and discovered that she was covered in a cold sweat.
