My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1908

Freddy said melancholically, "Jefferson, you're right. I hate her so much that I wish she had never existed in this world. Then Freya and I would not have ended up like this."

After listening to what Freddy had said, Jefferson looked at him and said word by word, "Because she ruined your life, so you killed her."

"What?" When Freddy heard what Jefferson said, he even suspected that there were some serious problems with his hearing. "Jefferson, you lost me there."

"The woman who went to find you yesterday is Florence Fisher." Jefferson continued, "She was found dead at home this evening, poisoned to death. And the child in her belly died along with her. You're the main suspect for the murder right, so I'm asking for your cooperation in the investigation."

Freddy couldn't form a word.

For a while, Freddy was in a complete daze.

Murderer?

That woman was dead?

The child was gone too?

If the woman was really dead, and the child was gone, wouldn't it mean that there was nothing between Freya and him anymore?

Freddy was thrilled, but he quickly suppressed the excitement. Although the woman had indeed messed up his life, still, the dead warranted respect.

"Jefferson, to be honest, I was happy to hear the news of that woman's death, but I still have to say that even though I hope she would disappear from this world, I would never resort to harming anyone and breaking the law." Freddy explained clearly, "Now that the police suspect that I'm the murderer, I'm more than willing to cooperate. Please investigate carefully and prove my innocence."

"Sure thing. We'll start taking your statement now." Before proceeding with the interrogation, Jefferson notified his subordinate to jot down Freddy's testimony. "Where were you at six to ten o'clock this evening? What were you doing? Do you have an alibi?"

"I was with my friends, Bruce Bell, and Tommy Lyle since 12 noon. The three of us never separated until I got the call from the police." After getting divorce at noon and parting ways with Jefferson, Freddy met up with Bruce and Tommy, and had never left their side till then.

"Except for the two of them, is there anyone else who can prove that?" Tommy and Bruce were Freddy's close friends so Jefferson was worried about the authenticity of Freddy's words. He thought that it would be best to have more alibis to prove his credibility. As long as Freddy did not commit the murder, he must find strong evidence to prove his innocence.

Freddy thought for a moment and said, "We were at Chilling Tea House the whole time. The waiters there can be my witnesses."

"You guys, go there and verify this." After Jefferson had given his order, he looked at another team of police officers. "Take him to the lab to run a fingerprint test."

As long as the fingerprint on the cup did not belong to Freddy, and coupled with the witness' testimony, Freddy could then be ruled out from the suspect list.

If one of those two went wrong, he might not be able to clear Freddy's suspicion for the time being.

While Freddy was undergoing the fingerprint test, the police officers had found Tommy and Bruce as well as the waiters working at Chilling Tea House. They learned that Freddy and the others had been hanging out at Chilling Tea House since noon and had never left until Freddy was called to the police station.

After receiving such good news, the fingerprint test result was out too. It was equally good news, as the fingerprints on the cup were not Freddy's.
