Chapter 1910
"I have the duty to assist in the investigation, but I also ask you to work hard and be responsible so that you don't wrong an innocent person." Given that Freya had never been to Florence's house, she was not afraid that the hair found in her house would have something to do with her. Her fingerprints, however, were found on the cup at the victim's house. How could that be accounted for?
Someone was obviously trying to frame her!
However, she couldn't provide any evidence to prove her innocence.
The material evidence showed that she was at an extreme disadvantage, and she didn't have any evidence to prove her innocence. Did that mean that she wouldn't be able to clear her suspicions?
Freya, who had always been calm, began to panic because of that thought.
The officer added, "Miss Langham, please come with me. Our forensic officers have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Okay." Freya clenched her fist and tried to calm herself down, but it was of no use.
Freya was taken to the forensics department. When she saw Adrienne, she called out, "Adrie-"
Before she could call out her name, Freya stopped. At that split second, it had slipped her mind that she was at the police station, that Adrienne and Jefferson were working there.
"Miss Langham, please come with me." Adrienne's tone was leveled, as if she was speaking to a stranger, but no one knew how worried she truly was deep down.
"Okay." Right then, as soon as Freya saw Adrienne, never mind that Adrienne was treating her professionally, it made her feel relieved.
She could not trust anyone, but she knew that she could trust Adrienne. As long as Adrienne and Jefferson were there, no one could wrong her.
Freya was a smart person. She treated Adrienne the way Adrienne treated her. She didn't want anyone to get any leverage from their relationship, as it wouldn't be good for both parties.
Adrienne took Freya into the examination room. She conducted a series of physical examinations on Freya before drawing some of her blood. "Miss Langham, we will be using this blood for the DNA test. The test will take some time to complete so our officers will lead you to the lounge first."
Freya nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Just as she turned to leave, Adrienne called out in a soft voice, "Freya..."
Freya stopped and looked back at Adrienne. "Dr. Carter, I don't know why my fingerprints was on the cup, nor do I know if the hair found at the victim's home would match my DNA. But I always believe that as long as I have not done anything that goes against the law, the law will prevail and justice will be on my side."
"That's right, you can rest assured that we will not let go of any evil person, but we will not wrong any innocent person either." Adrienne was worried that Freya would commit the vile act in the heat of the moment, but after hearing what Freya had said, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
As long as Freya did not kill anyone, no matter how she was framed, Adrienne would help her track down the true culprit.
After sending Freya away, Adrienne returned to her office and found that Jefferson was already there waiting for her.
Adrienne was virtually composed in front of Freya and the others. But when it came to Jefferson, she lost her cool in an instant. "Freya just told me that she has not been to the victim's house
before. She has no idea how her fingerprints ended up being on the cup either."
"But it is a fact that her fingerprints are on the cup. It can't be simply denied with just her side of words." Jefferson understood Adrienne's worry. He reached out to hold her shoulders and said, "At this point in time, we can only hope that her DNA doesn't match with the hair found in the victim's house, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Adrienne interrupted him angrily, "There's no way they can accuse Freya of the murder solely because of that, right?"
"As a law enforcement officer, you should know better than anyone else that every case necessitates evidence," Jefferson said.
Adrienne shook her head and said, "It's impossible for Freya to murder someone... Since she said that she didn't do it, then I'll believe that she didn't do it. Jefferson, do you think the evidence is..."
Before Adrienne could finish speaking, Jefferson interrupted her, "Adrienne, as a forensics doctor, you can't just judge that a piece of evidence is fabricated without any conclusive evidence. It just means that you're irresponsible towards your work, towards the tens of millions of citizens, and towards the victims."
"I know, but..." But it was Freya, her best friend, so she would believe her unconditionally.
"Since Freya is now a suspect of this case, you'll have to make sure you handle this professionally, more than ever. If you panic, it's possible that you might miss the most important clue, and eventually the most important evidence." Jefferson held Adrienne's shoulders once again and said with a solemn face, "If Freya is really framed, you should stay calm, or else you won't be able to find the culprit, do you understand?"
"But..."
"Don't worry. As long as she hasn't killed anyone, we will be able to prove her innocence." At that point, Jefferson's phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, indicating a new message had come in. He took out his mobile phone and saw a short text message which read, "Mr. Jefferson, are you satisfied with the two gifts we've prepared for you?"
It was a foreign number, and it didn't state what the two gifts were.
Nonetheless, he immediately understood that Freddy did not cheat on Freya, and Freya did not kill anyone. They had both been set up.
Nevertheless, since the other party didn't spell it out clearly, the text message couldn't be used as evidence.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the bothered look on Jefferson's face, Adrienne immediately came over.
Upon realizing that, Jefferson put away his mobile phone in a hurry and said, "It's just a spam message."
Adrienne's mind was fully distracted by Freya's matter so she didn't think much about it. "You should get back to work then. I'll go and see if there are any more clues."
"Okay." Jefferson nodded. After stepping out of Adrienne's office, he immediately reached for his mobile phone and replied to the foreign number, "Tell me, what the hell do you want?" NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
It seemed that his previous guess was correct. Freddy had not cheated on Freya, and the other party was trying to drive a wedge between Freddy and Freya.
Freya probably didn't kill anyone, but the evidence found at the scene had incriminated her.
If he didn't guess it wrongly, Freya's DNA would surely match the hair that was found in the victim's house, and it would further prove that Freya was the murderer.
First, they had made the victim Freddy's mistress so that she could destroy Freya and Freddy's relationship, which created a motive for Freya to kill that woman. Once that was done, the only thing left to complete the entire plan was to make up the murder scene, which was not a difficult thing to do.
It seemed that their opponent knew Adrienne very well, and they directly aimed for her weakness.
As the wise man said, to know one's own strength and the enemy's is the sure way to victory; it wasn't false at all.
The other party had managed to defeat him with Quill's case before. Moreover, it hadn't been long since the matter happened, and they had already delivered him another stupendous gift.
The matter should've angered him, but Jefferson laughed in a low voice instead. Now that they wanted to play a game with him, he thought to oblige. Two can play at that game, and he really wanted to see who would have the last laugh.
