Marcel Jefferson has been scorned by them all day today. Upon hearing their request, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised, “Of course! I’ll have soone look into it as soon as I get back.”
After making the promise, he felt odd and asked, “Wasn’t this bought by Chloe Bennett? Do we still need to specifically check it?”
“Chloe Bennett is broke.” Purple Sumrs glanced at the shabby apartnt building, “She’s struggling to make ends et, and even if she wanted to buy this, she wouldn’t be willing to spend money on it. It’s very likely that soone else bought it for her.”
Marcel couldn’t quite believe it, thinking who would buy sothing like this and give it to soone, especially a sixteen or seventeen-year-old female student.
Purple Sumrs saw his stunned expression and thought he was having a hard ti with the investigation. She reassured him, “It’s fine if you can’t find out. As long as the DNA comparison matches Henry Jason’s, the case can be closed.”
How could Marcel allow himself to be looked down upon by a little girl? He emphasized once more, “It’s easy! I’ll find out for you in no ti!”
Purple Sumrs smiled and turned to remind Aria Jackson, “Rember to collect fingerprints and check if there are any others besides Chloe Bennett’s.”
She held her shoulder bag which contained the crow inside and then comfortably stretched her arm, “Mission accomplished, let’s call it a day.”
“I’ll drive you back.” Aria Jackson put her arm around Purple’s shoulder and walked ahead.
Seeing the two walking away, Marcel felt a bit puzzled. After hesitating for a mont, he quickly caught up to them.
“Um… cousin, are we done here?”
“What else do you want to do?” Aria Jackson cast a strange glance at him, “As long as Henry Jason’s secretion is detected on the replica, along with Chloe Bennett’s fingerprints, it’s enough to prove that it’s all her self-directed act. According to Criminal Law Article 243, those who commit false accusation cris shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonnt of no more than 3 years.”
Marcel scratched his ear, “I just thought it went too smoothly, didn’t expect we could clear things up so quickly.”
“It was Purple and , not you! All you did was help rummage through the trash.” Aria Jackson disdainfully gave him a sidelong glance, “If you were the one investigating, who knows when you would find sothing.”
Marcel: “I…”
Forget it, he’d better not say anything else…
Aria Jackson drove her old and repaired jeep, first taking Marcel back to the law firm, then driving Purple Sumrs back ho.
The jeep stopped outside the Sumrs Family’s big iron gate with intertwined branches.
Aria Jackson said, “I’ll call you when the results from the forensic departnt are out.”
Purple Sumrs agreed, got up, and got out of the car.
Aria Jackson stopped her again, “Hey, how’s your own investigation going?”
Purple Sumrs shook her head in slight annoyance, “Previously, Jade Carlson wanted to take my computer. I thought there must be so files she cared about, but after a careful examination, I found only so case information. So cases have been closed, so are still pending, none of them are major or confidential. I don’t understand why she’d want those files.”
Aria Jackson reminded her, “Perhaps the part involving the secrets has not been discovered by you yet, and she mistakenly thinks you’ve found it.”
Purple Sumrs, deep in thought, slowly nodded, “Hmm, your idea is not bad. I’ll look into it again when I get back.”
The two chatted by the gate for a while, and Aria drove away.
Purple Sumrs entered the big iron gate with intertwined branches, unexpectedly seeing a person standing under a tree – it was Nathaniel Sumrs.
Nathaniel was smoking under the tree, his gloomy gaze fixed on her, and it was unclear how long he had been staring.
His gaze made Purple Sumrs feel very uncomfortable, so she continued walking forward indifferently without intending to pay any attention to him.
But Nathaniel suddenly asked, “Jade Carlson personally drove you back. How did you get to know Jade Carlson?”
Purple Sumrs’ steps faltered..
