My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1854

"You provoked me." Jefferson squinted his eyes slightly, giving her a very clear warning.

"I provoked you?" Adrienne thought for a while with her hand on her head. She couldn't figure out what she had done to trigger him. "If I really provoked you, please tell me directly. Don't keep me guessing."

"Little Specky, I am here to take over Quill's job. Aren't you surprised at all?" Why didn't she chase him out to ask him why he was here? Couldn't she just show a teeny bit of concern for him?

Adrienne nodded foolishly. "I was surprised."

Although she said so, her expression showed otherwise. Jefferson reached out and pinched her face. "Aren't you curious as to how I became the captain?"

"How?"

"It's a secret. I can't tell anyone," replied Jefferson with a naughty grin.

"Then why did you ask if I wanted to know?" Adrienne stared at him unhappily and thought to herself, "What's with this guy? If he can't tell me, then why would he ask? He piqued my curiosity for nothing."

"Get to work, little idiot." Jefferson was about to leave after saying so, but Adrienne grabbed the corner of his shirt, "Can I give you a small suggestion, Captain Hefner?"

Looking at Adrienne's small hand tugging at his clothes, Jefferson secretly felt happy. "Go ahead."

"As the captain, can you not be late for future meetings?" Adrienne said seriously, "Can you hold proper meetings and not leave after only 5 seconds?"

"Why can't I be late? Why must I stay longer? What's the point in being a captain if I can't enjoy my privileges?" asked Jefferson casually.

"Alright, Captain Hefner, just pretend I never said anything. Do what you want to do, no need to consider other people's feelings at all." Adrienne felt like she was talking to a wall. She knew his personality well, yet she had tried to persuade him. She shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm heading back to work."

"There are some details about the autopsy report that I'm unsure about. Come to my office and tell me about it." ordered Jefferson.

As soon as he asked her to go to the office, Adrienne started to overthink. She looked around and warned, "Jefferson, we're at work right now. People are watching us. Stop messing around, okay?"

He knew that she would overthink a simple instruction, and he couldn't help but chuckle. "Is it considered messing around to ask a forensic examiner to explain an autopsy report to a captain?"

"I... I'll go and get ready," said Adrienne. It turned out Jefferson just wanted to see the autopsy report. She had been thinking way too much.

When Adrienne returned to the office, she quickly sorted out the reports of the dismembered corpses case and hurried to Jefferson's office. She knocked on the door several times but did not hear him answer. She thought he was teasing her again, so she pushed the door open and went in.

Opening the door, Adrienne immediately looked toward the office table. She had expected to see Jefferson sitting there nonchalantly. But instead, two colleagues from the mark inspection department and the identification department were giving Jefferson their reports.

They were in the middle of a serious discussion, so no one had even noticed her entering the room.

"Everything suspicious from the crime scene was brought back and inspected, but nothing was found except the victim's fingerprints and DNA," said the employee from the identification department.

"As far as I know, the deceased got along well with his neighbors before he died, and they interacted often. But there were no fingerprints of any neighbors or relatives found in his house..." Jefferson looked at Quill and said, "Quill, take a team and go investigate the neighbors with whom the deceased were close with. Bring a psychologist expert in micro- expressions along. Let me know as soon as you find anything suspicious."

"Okay, I'll get right on it," Quill complied.
