Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime Chapter 282 – Doubts

Chapter 282: Doubts

“The property management here is strict, and it’s not easy to tamper with the surveillance footage. The garbage is collected and taken away by a designated person at 6 o’clock every morning.” Purple Summers smiled helplessly and said, “Let’s go back first and think if there are any other leads.”

“Alright.” Marcel Jefferson nodded.

The two said goodbye to the police officer and drove away.

Purple Summers sat in the car and took out the case file to read it again.

“You’ve already read it many times…” Marcel Jefferson whispered.

“Mmm.” Purple Summers didn’t lift her head, still looking at the documents in her hand, “Our brains tend to be lazy and sometimes unconsciously ignore some information. That’s why the feeling is different when you look at something for the first time compared to the second time.”

Marcel Jefferson felt ashamed and took the pages Purple Summers had read, starting to read along.

But after looking for a long time, his mind was still blank, with no clues.

Marcel Jefferson looked up at Purple Summers’ calm and composed face and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you determine that there was another killer? Could the model have died suddenly?”

In the first instance, the top-tier lawyers argued that it was a sudden death.

The modeling profession may seem glamorous, but the hardships behind the scenes are beyond imagination. In order to take the best photos, they might not be able to rest well for several nights in a row, or wear a bikini in the winter. Additionally, the victim Delilah White had been dieting recently. After intense intimacy, sudden death was not impossible.

However, the forensic doctor determined she was strangled to death, so the lawyers’ argument was overturned.

Now Purple Summers’ line of thought was completely different from the lawyers’.

“Because of the windowsill.” Purple Summers said softly.

Marcel Jefferson was puzzled, “What about the windowsill?”

“The dust on the windowsill was very thin,” Purple Summers frowned slightly, as if recalling something, “Much thinner than the dust on the railing outside the window.”

Marcel Jefferson was astonished.

How could she have noticed this?!

The thinner dust on the windowsill indicated that someone had wiped it. Ordinary people would only clean the inside part of the windowsill, so who would specifically clean the outside? Moreover, the deceased didn’t seem to be a particularly neat person.

It must have been the murderer trying to cover their tracks.

“So…the murderer climbed in through the window?” Marcel Jefferson tried to sort out his thoughts, “The forensic doctor estimated the time of death to be between 5 a.m. and 8 a.m., and Gerald Graves left at 7 a.m. This means the murderer entered the room after 7 a.m., strangled the sleeping Delilah White, and then left?”

Purple Summers shook her head, frowning, “The murderer must have arrived earlier.”

Marcel Jefferson opened his mouth, at a loss for words, “But… then… that is, what I mean is… wouldn’t Gerald Graves and Delilah White know there was another person in the room?!”

Thinking of the handkerchief Purple Summers had taken from the wardrobe, Marcel Jefferson’s hair stood on end!

“You’re saying the murderer hid in the wardrobe?!” He exclaimed in shock.

While Gerald Graves and his model lover were indulging themselves, there was actually another person in the room! Hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to commit murder!

It was terrifying!

“There are only two possibilities.” Purple Summers seemed to be talking to herself, speaking softly, “Either the murderer climbed through Delilah White’s window sometime between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., just as Gerald Graves was called away by a phone call, leaving only Delilah White in the room, and the murderer attacked her… Or, the murderer hid in the room in advance, patiently waiting for Gerald Graves to leave, then started their crime.”

… Obviously, the latter possibility was higher.

However, she was not sure yet whether the murderer’s target was the model Delilah White or Second Young Master Graves, Gerald Graves.
