Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After a long time, she came back to her senses and looked at the enchanting woman with a serious face.
She said without any doubt, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m telling you for sure that there are no ghosts or supernatural incidents in this world. Everything can be explained with science.”
“Yes, yes, I’m blabbering.” The enchanting woman smiled embarrassedly and asked carefully, “Then… Officer, can I leave now?”
“Yes, go.”
Alice frowned, still thinking about this matter. When she heard the woman’s question, she waved her hand casually.
At this moment, the Chief suddenly opened the door and walked in. He glanced at the enchanting woman’s chest and then turned his body sideways.
After the woman left, he closed the door and strode over.
“How is it, Alice? How is the investigation going?”
The Chief was sweating profusely and his expression showed urgency. He kept complaining. “You don’t know that the damn media has surrounded outside the police station. They said that they want to know the latest progress of the case, and the internet is flooded with all kinds of opinions. The public opinion is boiling!”
“Just now, my superior called and ordered me that I must solve this case as soon as possible. My head is going to burst! I’m under a lot of pressure!”
“Hello, Chief!”
Seeing that her superior had come, Alice immediately stood up and saluted respectfully. Then, she said, “From the investigation of the scene of the death, the autopsy report, and the interrogation of the witnesses, Ada indeed died by accident!”
Hearing this, the Chief could not help but sigh in relief.
It was good that it was an accident. What he feared the most was a murder case!
If that was the case, it would not be solved overnight.
At that time, if he was not careful enough, he might lose his job.
Thinking of this, he could not help but smile bitterly. “I don’t know what happened recently. There have been a series of cases, and the victims are all important figures. And all of them died in an accident. What a strange thing!”
“Chief, I think it might not be an accident!” Alice blurted out with a somewhat solemn expression.
“Huh?”
Hearing that, the Chief was stunned, then his face immediately sank. He asked solemnly, “What do you mean by this? Is there something else hidden in this matter?”
Alice said word by word, “I suspect that this is a murder case!”
“Hiss–”
The Chief sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly asked, “What evidence do you have?”
“There were no traces found at the scene.”
Alice shook her head helplessly.
Then… She immediately said, “However, this case is really full of doubts. There are many things that can’t be explained!”
“First, according to the autopsy report, Ada had consumed a large amount of white powder before he died. But strangely, he never had any history of taking drugs before. The forensic examination also proved this point,”
“Secondly, Ada had a history of mild heart disease. He must have known about this himself. In fact, by asking his mistresses, he also proved this point. Ada had always been very restrained when he took medicine. However, this time, he took more than ten Viagra at one go. It was extremely abnormal. Most importantly, Ada has been wandering among women all year round. It is impossible for him to not know the consequences of taking too much Viagra.”
“Thirdly, according to the witness I asked about the incident, the woman said that Ada’s expression was abnormal when they were having sex. His eyes were filled with fear as if he was being forced.”
“Fourthly…”
“…”
Alice said seven or eight suspicious points in one breath. They were all illogical and very strange.
After saying that… She looked at the Chief, whose face was full of uncertainty, and said, “That’s all I have to say, Chief. Based on these suspicious points, I think that there is still a lot of hidden information in this case. It definitely doesn’t seem like an accidental case. Therefore, I suggest that we don’t close the case immediately. We still have to continue the investigation and deploy more police forces.”
“This…”
Hearing this, the Chief could not help but feel troubled. He stood in place, frowning.
Alice’s analysis was very reasonable. There were indeed many things that could not be explained in this case.
However, all of these were just guesses. They lacked the most crucial and convincing evidence.
What should he do? He could not just overthrow everything based on guesses and continue the investigation.
Besides, the pressure on him right now was too great.
At this time, if the news that Ada’s death was a deliberate murder leaked out, then, with the pressure from the higher-ups, public opinion, and the important figure Rodriguez…
Thinking about it, the Chief felt his scalp go numb.
At that moment, he had an idea and said, “How about this? Alice, you can mobilize all the forces of the police department and continue to investigate Ada’s case in secret. I’ll settle the case by saying it’s an accident and suppress the matter first to the media. How about it?”
Since her superior said so, she could also continue to investigate.
Naturally, Alice did not have any objections and immediately agreed. “Yes, Chief!”
As the two of them were talking, suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
“What’s the situation?”
The Chief immediately became unhappy. He waved his hand and walked out of the door.
“Let’s go out and take a look.”
Just as the two of them walked out of the door, they heard a man shouting loudly.
“I don’t believe it. How could my big brother die by accident? You bunch of policemen, you can’t figure out anything and waste our taxpayers’ money. Go, ask your Chief to come out and see me!”
Seeing the man’s face, the Chief thought to himself that it was not good, but he put a smile on his face and went up to him.
“Oh my, Mr. Davis, what happened? Why are you so angry?”
“Humph, what happened? Of course it’s about my big brother! How could a person who was perfectly fine suddenly die?”
Davis’ face was flushed red, and he looked like he was in extreme grief. He shouted, “How is the police investigation going? How did my big brother die? Give me an explanation!”
“Calm down, Mr. Davis. I understand your feelings, but please calm down and listen to my explanation.”
The Chief’s face was full of spittle, but he was still smiling as he explained. “The thing is, we have already investigated the whole situation. Mr. Ada’s death was caused by taking too many stimulants. In other words, it was an accident!”
“Accident?”
Hearing this, Davis was overjoyed.
He didn’t expect that the Puppeteer killer he found on the dark net was so powerful.
He had dealt with Ada cleanly and made it look like an accident. Even the police couldn’t find out. It was perfect.
This money was worth it!
But even though he thought so, Davis didn’t reveal any emotions of it on his face. He still looked sad.
But at this moment.
Alice suddenly stood up from the side. She looked Davis up and down and said, “Mr. Davis, please be assured. Regarding Mr. Ada’s case, our police department will definitely investigate it clearly. However, there are still some suspicious points in this case. Therefore, I would like to ask you a few questions. Please understand and cooperate with my work.”
Then, Alice stared right at Davis, trying to find something unusual from his eyes.
Chapter 18: The Guilty Davis!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Alice first saw Davis, her instinct told her something was wrong with him.
After being a police officer for so long, she had handled countless cases and met countless victims’ families.
Therefore, she had seen too many reactions from these people.
However, Davis’ expression gave her a very unnatural feeling, as if he was faking it.
It immediately aroused Alice’s suspicion.
Moreover, her suspicion was very reasonable.
Because, according to the theory of criminal psychology, whoever was the biggest beneficiary was most likely to be the murderer.
And based on Alice’s knowledge, the old Rodriguez had two sons. One was Ada, and the other was Davis.
Ada was the first in line to succeed him.
Therefore, as long as Ada died, Davis would become the heir to a billion-dollar fortune.
In the face of fortune, the so-called family relationship was not worth mentioning.
Because of this, many people fought to the death.
Alice had seen too much, so she immediately cast a suspicious glance at Davis.
At this moment, hearing Alice’s words, Davis’s heart immediately skipped a beat.
Could it be that the Puppeteer was exposed and did not clean up his traces?
He could not help but swallow his saliva and began to think about nonsense.
The so-called guilty conscience was referring to him.
However, all of this happened in a flash.
Almost in an instant, Davis regained his expression of grief and indignation.
However, Alice’s eyes were extremely sharp, and she was intentionally staring at Davis. Therefore, she saw the change in his expression in that instant.
Alice could not help but confirm her own judgment. There was a big problem with this Davis!
He definitely had something to do with Ada’s death!
It was very likely that he was the mastermind behind Ada’s death!
“If you have any doubts, feel free to ask. As long as it is helpful to my brother’s case, I will tell you everything,” Davis replied in a pretentious manner.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Davis. If that’s the case, let’s get started shall we?”
Alice nodded calmly and said, “I heard that Mr. Davis and Mr. Ada are in a very good relationship. Both of you get along very well, right?”
“That’s right,” Davis said with certainty.
“As far as I know, Mr. Rodriguez once made a will. After his death, Mr. Ada will inherit all of his shares in the pharmaceutical group while Mr. Davis, you can only get some real estate and cash. Don’t you feel that it’s a little unfair?” Alice asked.
Swoosh–
Hearing this, Davis instantly exploded.
He jumped up abruptly and roared, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I have something to do with this case and my brother was killed by me?”
As he said this, he turned to the Chief angrily and said, “What kind of quality do your people have? How can you spout nonsense without any evidence? I want to file a complaint against you! I must file a complaint against you!”
“Oh, Mr. Davis, please calm down. Alice is still young. It’s inevitable that her words and actions are not steady enough. Please understand.”
The Chief smiled and comforted him. As he said that, he pretended to be serious and said in a deep voice, “Alice, aren’t you going to apologize to Mr. Davis?”
“Yes,” Alice said expressionlessly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Davis. My question was a little too blunt. I didn’t think it through. I apologize to you.”
“Hmmph, you’re done with just an apology? Let me tell you…” Davis shouted loudly without mercy.
But before he could finish, a deep and hoarse magnetic voice suddenly sounded, interrupting him.
“What else do you want?”
As soon as he finished speaking, an imposing old man with a head full of white hair walked in under the protection of his bodyguards.
“Father?”
Seeing the old man, Davis was immediately shocked and hurriedly went up to him. “Why are you here?”
“Mr. Rodriguez!”
The person was the famous and influential figure in Gotham City, the chairman of the Gotham Medical Group, Rodriguez!
The Chief and Alice did not dare to neglect such a figure and greeted him respectfully.
The old Rodriguez was extremely imposing. He casually responded and then turned his head to look at Davis.
His eyes were indifferent as he just quietly watched.
It made Davis broke out in cold sweat.
He was able to reach his current social status, control a huge corporation, and possess monstrous power and wealth.
Whether it was shrewdness or methods, they were all extraordinary.
Moreover, he was extremely knowledgeable and had experienced countless schemes and plots.
Therefore, he had seen clearly that Davis was the biggest beneficiary of Ada’s death.
Moreover, he had already overheard the conversation between Alice and Davis at the door.
He had seen all of Davis’ reactions and could not help but think that he was indeed suspicious.
However, he was still uncertain.
After all, Davis had always gotten along well with Ada since he was young.
He did not find any signs of resentment toward him and Ada.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, and said, “This is the police station, not a place for you to mess around. I believe that the police forces will give me a satisfactory answer regarding Ada’s matter,”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the Chief and asked, “Isn’t that so, Chief?”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Rodriguez. Please rest assured. Our police station will do our best to investigate the matter clearly,” the Chief quickly replied respectfully.
“Very good,” Rodriguez nodded and added, “I understand Ada very well. Although he likes to play and mess around a little, he is still very cautious. Moreover, he has a mild heart disease and will not randomly take drugs. I hope you are clear about this.”
“Yes, thank you for the information provided by Mr. Rodriguez. This will be very helpful to our investigation.”
Even though Alice had brought it up just now, the Chief still pretended not to know and thanked him.
“Well, that’s all for now. I’ll go back and wait patiently for the news.”
Rodriguez nodded and then turned to leave.
Seeing this, Davis also hurriedly followed.
“Sigh, this is going to be difficult.”
After the two men disappeared at the door, the Chief could not help but sigh. He smiled bitterly and said, “It seems that the case won’t be solved anytime soon. Alice, I’ll have to trouble you from now on to investigate carefully. It’s best if you can find some clues. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself.”
“Yes, don’t worry, Chief.”
Alice nodded heavily.
At this moment, her heart was full of fighting spirit.
Although there was no progress at the moment, she believed that there was no perfect crime in the world.
As long as something was done, then there would definitely be traces left behind.
It was just that they hadn’t found anything yet.
She had already thought about it.
Since she couldn’t find anything at the scene, she might as well look at it from another angle, starting from Ada’s side.
For example, where he lived, his friends, and who he had come into contact with recently. Including his mistresses, all of them became her investigation targets.
