However, Adrienne was completely immersed in the case. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and continued, "Five years ago, a r*pe and murder case occurred in Hill City. At that time, we couldn't find the crime scene, and the suspect only admitted to r*ping the victim and denied that he had murdered her. In the end, the police didn't have enough evidence to charge the suspect for murder and they couldn't solve the case. The case was then delayed for another two years before the murderer got what he deserved. If the current case advanced that way, we would be in a very passive position. It may take a lot of time and effort to bring the murderer to justice. Do you understand my worries?"
"Yes, I do, but you'll still have to eat, right?" Jefferson pushed a dish to her front and urged, "Let's discuss this after we've eaten, okay? Otherwise, I'll make you go home and rest."
Upon hearing that, Adrienne became so anxious that her lips turned pale. She defended, "Jefferson, I'm not trying to start a fight with you but as the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, you have the obligation and responsibility to find the murderer as soon as possible."
"Little Specky..." Jefferson looked at her as he spoke. In his overbearing gaze, Adrienne noticed there was a mixed of emotions. "Yes, I am the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, but at the same time, I am also your man and your husband. Don't you understand my worries?"
Adrienne was a little confused, but she seemed to have understood his intentions after a short while. Jefferson was concerned about her, and he was afraid that she would neglect herself as she was completely wrapped up with work... As she thought so, she smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, I was too focused on the case, and I forgot to pay attention to myself. I will try to improve on that as much as possible in the future so that I won't worry you anymore."
"Great! Let's eat now then." Jefferson picked some food for her and commented, "Your worries are not unreasonable, too. I will send another group of people to look for the crime scene."
"Okay, okay... Let's dig in and get back to work after this." Adrienne quickly ate a few mouthfuls and looked up at Jefferson with a smile.
Her smile made Jefferson feel uneasy once again. He secretly scolded, "You little idiot, I will definitely teach you a lesson and make you cry for mercy one day."
Five years ago, the case that happened in Hill City caused a sensation throughout the city. Although Jefferson never looked into the case, he had heard of it before. After Adrienne reminded him, he thought it was necessary to develop a method to prevent the case from going into a deadlock, just like what had happened to the previous case. He absolutely would not allow the murderer to escape under his eyes.
Gordan's DNA test results were out, and it showed that the semen sample collected on Shermaine's vaginal vault matched Gordan's DNA.
Facing the hard evidence, Gordan could only tell the truth.
He hesitated and explained, "Captain Hefner, I admit that I did have sex with Shermaine more than once, many times in fact. But she and I were in love with each other, and I had her consent."
"You two were in love with each other? Why didn't you come forward and tell us that you and the deceased were in love with each other when we interrogated you then?" Jefferson's face turned cold as he stared at Gordan, "Then tell me, how in love were the both of you?"
"I didn't tell you guys before this because it wasn't something that I can be honest with. Plus, I'm also afraid that my wife will find out about it, so..." Gordan wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and clarified, "As I said before, my wife works out of town. She would come back once a while during the weekend or even once in half a year."
Gordan took a peep at Jefferson. When he saw that there was no change in his expression, he added, "Captain Hefner, we are both men, and there are some things that we can both understand. Just think about it, I'm a man in his prime age, but I couldn't live a normal married life with my wife. Of course I'll feel empty and lonely. Then, coincidentally, Shermaine, a young and beautiful college student, showed up, so I got together with her."
