It was really as what Adrienne had expected. Gordan admitted that he had intercourse with Shermaine before she died, but he never admitted to killing her.
Gordan also notified them that on the day of the crime, he went home at 9 p.m. and proceeded to help his son with his homework and that he never went out again after 10 p.m.
After that, Gordan refused to reveal anything more.
Jefferson ordered one of his subordinates to take Gordan back to the detention room before going over to Adrienne's office to look for her. "Dr. Carter, it was just as you had expected. Gordan admitted that he had intercourse with Shermaine but denied the murder."
"We can't just assume that he hasn't killed anyone because he said so. We have to find the place where the body was disposed of before we can confirm that he wasn't the murderer." Adrienne looked up and saw that Jefferson was staring at her. Their eyes met, and for a moment, Adrienne felt that her heart was beating so fast as if it was going to pop out. "W-why are you looking at me like this?"
"I just realized that..." Jefferson approached her slowly, and he raised the corners of his seductive lips as his warm breath lingered on her face. "I suddenly realized that..."
He deliberately paused and lifted Adrienne's chin to make her look into his eyes.
"What is it?" Adrienne felt uneasy as she was being stared at by such a rare but heart-stirring gaze. She became so nervous that her palm started to sweat, "Just say it."
Jefferson lowered his head and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Then, he continued, "I just suddenly realized that my Little Specky isn't an idiot after all."
Adrienne thought that he would say something pleasant. However, he ended up saying such words after letting her wait for so long, and piquing her interest. Adrienne couldn't help but feel disappointed. "I'm not an idiot to begin with. It's just you that would always say that I'm one."
"Oh..." Jefferson found it hilarious when he saw her pouting her lips. He couldn't help but want to kiss her again. Nonetheless, before he could kiss her, Adrienne turned her head away and changed the topic, "Have you found the crime scene?"
Jefferson was speechless.
He wanted to kiss her, but she started talking about the crime scene.
What a mood killer!
It really was a mood killer!
Such words echoed in Jefferson's mind. At that moment, he didn't feel like talking to Adrienne anymore.
"You told me that you had arranged for two groups of people to search for the crime scene. What's the progress on that?" Adrienne was only thinking about work, and she had never thought that she had ruined Jefferson's mood.
Jefferson was annoyed, but he still answered, "Because of your kind reminder, I had already made necessary preparations and ordered two teams to look for the location where the body was disposed of. Just when Gordan denied that he had killed Shermaine, the search teams informed me that they had found the place where her body was disposed of."
Adrienne commented, "In that case, it won't be long for us to find out if Gordan is the murderer."
Jefferson nodded, "Not only did those two teams find the location, they also found bloodstains on a broken branch. Shermaine was suffocated to death, but the forensic teams did not find any external injuries on Shermaine's body, so the blood on the branch shouldn't belong to her.
Therefore, the officers immediately took a sample of the blood and sent it to the laboratory for inspection. "I'll leave the rest to you guys then."
