Chapter 1284: 1284. When do they think the Jones Family is sowhere?
“Who are you?”
Adam Jones furrowed his brows as he spoke.
Seeing the leading police officer walk up to Adam Jones, his expression sowhat troubled, yet he still plucked up the courage to speak:
“Mr. Jones, we suspect Mrs. Jones is involved in a hit-and-run traffic accident that resulted in a fatality. We now need Mrs. Jones to co with us to assist in the investigation.”
After the traffic officer finished speaking, both Elly Campbell and Adam Jones’s expressions changed.
“Hit-and-run causing death?”
The temperature in Adam Jones’s eyes suddenly dropped. “Do you know who you are talking about?”
His tone was not heavy, but each word was emphatic, causing the few traffic officers present to show expressions of discomfort and difficulty.
Unlike Adam, Elly Campbell did not put on a stern face; instead, she walked up to the traffic officer and asked:
“When did this incident happen?”
Elly knew, although the officer used terms like “suspect” and “assist in the investigation,” they would not co to the Jones Family to arrest soone without substantial evidence.
Who is Adam Jones, what place is the Jones Family, they were well aware.
They wouldn’t act rashly without solid evidence.
The traffic officer was sowhat displeased by Elly’s deanor.
Clearly guilty of hit-and-run, yet still putting on an innocent and confused facade.
If you weren’t Mr. Jones’s wife, who would be wasting words here.
A life was lost just like that; do you really not feel guilty at heart?
The officer was holding in anger, but still honestly answered Elly, saying:
“Yesterday evening at five-thirty, on Bone New Road, does Mrs. Jones really have no recollection?”
This traffic officer was rather spirited, adding to his youthfulness; he didn’t show any subservience when speaking to Elly.
But the accusing tone made Adam Jones furrow his brow.
Just as he was about to speak, Elly stopped him. “At that ti yesterday, I was in West City District, it was absolutely impossible for to be driving on Bone New Road.”
At this, Elly paused for a mont. Sothing flickered through her mind.
But before she could delve deeper into that thought, it was interrupted by the officer’s voice—
“Is there anyone who can corroborate your alibi?”
Elly was just about to answer, but suddenly stopped.
Facing the piercing gaze of the officer, she shook her head, finally realizing what the fleeting thought in her mind was.
Alibi!
Her mother’s kidnapping case, the route that led her to West City District and specifically through areas without surveillance, was all to prevent her from proving an alibi for the ti of the incident.
She couldn’t prove she was anywhere else during the hit-and-run, and the most likely reason the police could pinpoint her was that the surveillance on Bone New Road captured her face during the accident.
Seeing that she remained silent, not speaking, the officer, thinking she was feeling guilty and couldn’t find a reason to defend herself, lost patience and continued:
“Mrs. Jones, the surveillance on Bone New Road clearly captured the face of the perpetrator. Please co with us to the station now to assist with the investigation.”
Indeed…
The officer’s words confird Elly’s earlier suspicion.
The next second, the officer signaled his subordinates to move forward to make the arrest, only to see Adam Jones pulling Elly Campbell to his side.
His deep eyes emitted a sharp chill, looking toward the leading traffic officer, he said:
“What do you think the Jones Family is?”
