Chapter 227: No Fun
Translator: 549690339
Purple Sumrs ate her wonton with three toppings leisurely, listened to Marcel finish his tirade of complaints, and then said, “Email the electronic version of the case files in a bit, try to provide as comprehensive data as possible.”
Marcel:
A mont later, he was on the verge of tears, “Miss, we really can’t go on like this…”
“I know.” Purple Sumrs was eating wonton, her voice was unclear, “Don’t worry, I don’t intend to beco a public enemy, nor am I asking you to agree imdiately, let’s take a look at the files first, if it’s worth our ti, we can discuss it.”
‘Worth our ti’, aning the case had intriguing inside information worth delving into.
Marcel was filled with bitterness and dilemma, his small firm was busy with daily neighborhood disputes. As a man, he sotis wished his cousin at the police station would introduce him to so major cases, well now, a major case did co up…
But, this is a case that would incite public temperant…
If people find out he’s defending for the maniac murderer from the torture killing case, perhaps his law office would be smashed the very next day!
“Young lady…” Marcel wanted to struggle a bit more.
“Eating breakfast, let’s talk later. Rember to send over the case files as soon as possible.” Purple Sumrs finished and hung up the phone.
“What is a case file?” Atra Blanc asked.
“It’s howork.” Purple Sumrs learned from Alexander to prevaricate, “My classmates and I joined the Detective Society at school. We have a simulated case study. This is our howork.”
“Oh, that’s how it is…” Atra Blanc was not suspicious, she replied, “Grey’s extracurricular activities are quite fulfilling.”
“Yes.” Purple Sumrs agreed.
After breakfast, Purple Sumrs returned to her room to check the email.
If Marcel Jefferson hadn’t ntioned Ms. Maple, she wouldn’t even know that the suspect’s last na in this case was Maple.
— Caspian Maple, a single-parent family with his mother’s last na, a 21- year-old college student, was seen taking away the young girl Nana Rowe from the kindergarten gate on November 2nd. On the 6th, Nana Rowe’s body was discovered with her hands and feet bound by a skipping rope, which was confird to have been purchased by Caspian Maple on the day of the incident from a supermarket. This was key evidence accusing Caspian Maple.
Caspian Maple’s testimony was thought-provoking. He said that he took Nana Rowe away out of kindness to send her ho.
Regarding the skipping rope, Caspian Maple said that he bought it to entertain the child.
Later, the two separated unintentionally. When Caspian Maple was looking for Nana Rowe, he saw a black car taking Nana Rowe away and heading towards Euphony Road. He thought it was Nana Rowe’s family mber, so he did not report it and went ho directly instead.
Each of Caspian Maple’s testimonies could not stand scrutiny.
If he was really out of kindness and wanted to send Nana Rowe ho, he could have easily asked the kindergarten teacher to contact her parents.
Moreover, the route he took with Nana Rowe was not even towards Nana Rowe’s ho.
Regarding the black car he ntioned, the police examined the surveillance footage, no black car was driven on Euphony Road during that ti interval.
On the prosecution side, the evidence is conclusive, while on the defence side, the testimony is full of holes.
“This case is hopeless…” Purple Sumrs, looking at this information, mumbled to herself.
At this ti, her phone rang again.
Purple Sumrs answered the call. It was from Aria Jackson.
Turns out Marcel Jefferson, after failing to persuade Purple Sumrs, called his cousin for help.
“You’re going to defend Caspian Maple?” As soon as the call was answered, Aria Jackson imdiately asked her.
Purple Sumrs, while swiping through docunts displayed on her tablet, casually replied, “I haven’t decided yet, I’m looking at the materials.”
Aria Jackson was silent for a while and said, “If you want to deal with Jade Carlson, there will be opportunities in the future. This case is too sensitive, you need to think it through.”
Aria Jackson also disagreed.
