My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1909

Like a gust of wind, Jefferson dashed to Adrienne's office as quickly as he could. "What's the matter?"

Adrienne glanced at Jefferson before handing him a document, not a word exchanged.

Jefferson accepted the document and looked at it. When he saw what was written on it, he looked even more surprised than the time he found out that the victim had something to do with Freddy.

Adrienne said, "I don't believe this is true, but this is the result we got from the database."

Jefferson held the document in his hand tightly and said, "The specific time of death is about 7:30 pm. Where was Freya during this period of time? Is there anyone who can be her witness?"

Adrienne said, "We sent Freya home at around four o'clock in the afternoon but we don't know if she stayed home after that."

"The victim ruined her peaceful life with Freddy, and she has the motive to kill," Jefferson said.

"She has the motive to kill?" Adrienne looked at Jefferson, her eyes filled with fear and worry. "Jeff... I-I'm scared... Although I believe in Freya, I'm scared that she might have done it on impulse." "Hey, don't be scared." Jefferson pulled Adrienne into his arms, rubbed her head, and analyzed, "The cup at the victim's house had Freya's fingerprints on it, so it simply proved that she had visited the house. To find out if she killed her, we'll still have to interrogate her to understand the specific situation. Before the case is solved, you're not allowed to overthink."

"Jefferson, do you think there's a chance that someone is trying to frame Freya?" Adrienne grabbed Jefferson's sleeve tightly. "Mr. Langham and Mrs. Langham went to the capital to attend a meeting the day before yesterday and they wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow. Coincidentally, all of these happened during the time they were not around. Even if Freya was at home at 7.30 p.m., there's no one that could prove that."

Jefferson said, "You have to believe that as long as she hasn't killed anyone, we will be able to prove her innocence, no matter how she was framed. Also, you've been a forensic doctor for a long time and have solved so many tricky cases, you should have faith in us, and also the law."

"I have faith in the police and the law, but there's an exception when the law has let me down, especially when it concerns my..." Adrienne trailed off. Her parents' case had not been solved until then.

If someone deliberately framed Freya, would it mean that Freya wouldn't be able to shake off her suspicion?

"Stop overthinking." Jefferson raised his hand to check the time. It was already past midnight, so he said, "You go home and rest first. I'll deal with the things here."

"How could I go home and sleep at times like this?" Adrienne took a deep breath and said, "Call Freya over for an interrogation right now. I want to watch from the side, or I won't be able to stop thinking about it."

"Okay." Jefferson didn't object. He hugged her tightly and said, "Then let's get to the bottom of things and bring justice to the victim."

Adrienne understood where Jefferson was coming from. As long as Freya did not commit the murder, they would surely prove her innocence. However, if Freya really did commit the murder, she would need to be punished by the law.

Speed was the key to solving cases. Even in the middle of the night, once there was any news regarding the suspects, the police would act in a jiffy-

Freya had been woken up from her sleep, and then she was led by the police officers to the Paramount Criminal Police Team without knowing what was happening.

When she was escorted to the interrogation room, Jefferson deliberately avoided her, and appointed another police officer to interrogate her.

The officer asked, "Miss Langham, where were you at 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. last night? And what were you doing during that period of time?"
