My Husband, Warm The Bed novel 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.

'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?"
