Chapter 280: Entering the Scene
Translator: 549690339
Seeing Marcel Jefferson like this, Purple Sumrs1 thoughts were sowhat stirred, and she murmured with downcast eyes, “Actually…we,re just ordinary people, how can we decide whether soone is guilty or the degree of their guilt?…The only thing we can do is try our best to uncover the cri, bring it before the law, and let the law weigh and sanction it.”
After listening, Marcel Jefferson chuckled, “Miss, what you said doesn’t sound like a lawyer.”
“Hmm?” Purple Sumrs didn’t quite understand.
Marcel Jefferson laughed, “Like a prosecutor! We lawyers only care about winning or losing, with the client’s best interest as the basis. Only prosecutors would go looking for the traces of criminals.”
Purple Sumrs was montarily taken aback, but then she smiled brightly, “Is that so? Then I’ll be a prosecutor in the future.”
“It’s not easy to be a prosecutor. The pass rate for the judicial examination is only two percent, and then you have to study for at least two years at the Imperial Judicial Academy…” Marcel Jefferson thought back to the ti of preparing for exams, feeling it was a nightmare, but…
He looked at Purple Sumrs and smiled faintly, “If it’s you, you’ll definitely pass.”
Purple Sumrs smiled in return.
The car continued to drive, eventually arriving at Greenwood Town in the East District of Clearwater City.
Marcel Jefferson had contacted the police officer in charge of the case in advance. The officer was an honest middle-aged man, waiting at the entrance of the community early on.
“This is a mid-to-high-end community with low density living, green coverage up to 35%. Only wealthy people live here.” The police officer introduced the circumstances near the cri scene, “Two kiloters away from here, there’s a film and television shooting base. So the people who co in and out of this community are either models, actors, or makeup and lighting artists.”
“There are a lot of trees here.” Purple Sumrs, who was following behind, suddenly said.
“Right, Greenwood Town, after all. Without a few trees, there would be no fairytale atmosphere like The Grimm.” The police officer spoke as they stopped in front of a building. “Here, the fourth floor.”
In the low-density, mid-to-high-end community, the residences are far apart, and the apartnt floors are low, with a maximum of only four floors.
The victim, Delilah White, rented a two-bedroom apartnt with a friend in this building. However, her friend often wasn’t at ho, so Delilah essentially lived alone.
The police officer opened the door and handed disposable gloves and shoe covers to Marcel Jefferson and Purple Sumrs. After putting them on, the two officially entered the cri scene—Delilah White’s bedroom.
The scene remained as it was at the ti of the cri, but it had inevitably accumulated dust after a long ti. A thin layer of dust covered the furniture.
“She died right on this bed.” Purple Sumrs moved to the side of the bed, recalling the details of the case file, “Multiple contusions on her body, clear ligature marks on her neck. The forensic doctor identified that the victim was strangled to death by a cord-like object, causing suffocation…”
She rembered that one of the evidence items presented by the prosecution was a black leather cord with Second Young Master Graves’ fingerprints on it.
The prosecution accused Gerald Graves of accidentally killing Delilah White during an S&M session. One form of S&M involves strangling the partner and making them experience pleasure through suffocation.
If it wasn’t Gerald Graves who accidentally killed her, then another person must have entered the room and strangled Delilah White to death.
But how did the murderer enter, and how did they leave?
Purple Sumrs walked to the window, her eyes filled with a faint glimr, “The windowsill here is quite spacious.”
Marcel Jefferson imdiately asked the officer, “Was the window locked at the ti of the cri?”
“It was closed, but not locked,” the officer explained. “The access control here is strict, and you need a card to enter or exit. Soone who isn’t a resident wouldn’t be able to enter the community. Also, there are surveillance caras everywhere. Even if soone were to climb down from the window, they would be caught by the cara.”
