My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1868

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "Thanks for treating us to such a wonderful meal, Captain Hefner! Take care!"

"Okay, you guys can stay here, there's no need to send me off." With a wave of his hand, Jefferson left with Adrienne.

After leaving everyone's sight and walking out of the restaurant, Adrienne finally had time to say, "Captain Hefner, tell me. What plans do you have?" Jefferson stared at her and answered, "That's why I said you're a little idiot."

Adrienne stared back at him and scolded, "Speak to me properly. Otherwise, I don't want to talk to you."

"I'm not close with them, so what's the point of drinking with them? Besides, they won't be able to enjoy themselves with me around. It wouldn't be fun for any of us if I stayed back," Jefferson admitted.

"That actually sounds right." Adrienne smiled and took the initiative to hold his arm. "I think you've done well today. You're finally acting like a leader."

Jefferson held her in his arms and boasted, "What are you talking about? I've always acted like a

leader."

Jefferson was hugging Adrienne and her face was pressed against his chest. She gently rubbed against him and said, "In any case, I think you did great today."

She had never thought that Jefferson could communicate with his subordinates with such an attitude. Even more so, she didn't know that Jefferson was willing to do this because she was also part of the team.

Jefferson was never afraid of offending anyone. No one dared to complain anyway. However, he was worried that they would trouble Adrienne and she might not even realize it.

Since he was married to this little idiot, he had to think on her behalf. What else could he do?

After getting in the car, Adrienne was ready to start the car as she asked, "Where should we go now?"

"Let's have dinner somewhere, then we'll go see your grandpa," Jefferson suggested.

Adrienne commented, "You're being so proactive. What are you planning?"

"I want him to like me. Can't I do that?" Jefferson retorted.

Adrienne gave in, "Okay, okay. You're the mighty Mr. Hefner. You can do whatever you want."

Jefferson put on a naughty smile and teased, "I can do whatever I want? Are you sure?"

Adrienne took a long time to understand what he meant before she scolded, "You're an animal!"

After solving the last case, there were no new cases at the moment. Jefferson led the team at Paramount Criminal Police Team to investigate the dismemberment case.

In the process of sorting out the clues, Jefferson realized that they did not find any important or useful evidence at the crime scene. The case had happened a long time ago, but the only clue they had was the victim's identity.

Since he couldn't find any useful clues in the reports, Jefferson brought some men to the house and the office of the deceased couple to gather information. However, the information they had gathered was more or less the same.

All the neighbors mentioned that the deceased couple had a good relationship with their neighbors and had never had a conflict with anyone. None of them had a motive for the crime.

Since they couldn't find any clues from the neighbors, Jefferson started investigating the suppliers and diners of the couple's restaurant. After a round of investigation, he found out that the couple had purchased goods from the same suppliers ever since they opened the restaurant. They had dealt with each other for several years and never had any conflict. Therefore, the suppliers had no motive for the crime as well.

Excluding the possibility of the murder committed by someone they had known, for the time first, Jefferson felt that the case was not as simple as he had imagined. Was this dismemberment case related to Mr. and Mrs. Carter from two years ago?

As Jefferson was at a dead end, he received an anonymous registered mail.

Nowadays, there were so many ways of communication. Who would choose to send a registered mail instead?
