My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1738

Adrienne and Zelson had yet to enter the office, but Quill was already running towards them. "Zelson, Adrienne, today is the deadline. If I can't solve the case, my boss will definitely skin me alive. Did you guys manage to uncover anything?"

Early in the morning, Quill had already gone to several departments to ask for information. The forensic lab had given him some clues, but they were not enough to find the murderer's whereabouts.

Zelson answered, "We haven't found any secondary DNA on the two female headless corpses, so it's relatively difficult to find the murderer. However, we're not totally lost. The wounds on the two bodies were made by the same kind of weapon, and the residue left by the weapon has been handed over to the lab. We'll send you the report as soon as we can."

"I've gotten the report already. Judging from the existing clues, the two cases should have been committed by the same murderer. But, we haven't found the murder weapon and the heads of the deceased yet, so we have no leads on where the murderer might be."

Quill was so anxious that he scratched his head. He had been a criminal police officer for ten years, and it hadn't been easy for him to rise to his current position as a sergeant. He had cracked many big cases before, but he was at a complete loss with the two headless corpses.

Looking at Quill who was so distressed, Adrienne also had her concerns. "What I am most worried about now is that the murderer will continue to commit crimes, and more innocent women will get hurt."

As soon as Adrienne spoke, Quill stopped scratching his head instantly. He stared at Adrienne as he thought, "F*ck, that is what I'm most afraid of now."

"Ring, ring, ring-"

Quill's phone suddenly rang and he answered immediately. Adrienne noticed that Quill's expression turned solemn, and she guessed that there must be another new case.

Sure enough, Quill hung up the phone and immediately informed, "Zelson, Adrienne, I have to trouble you to come with me again. There was another murder in Paramount Area."

In the past three days, the three murder cases had taken place in Paramount Area.

There was no need for Quill to say more. Adrienne knew that the case was different at this moment. It was highly likely that this was a serial murder. If they did not catch the murderer soon, there would be more women who could get hurt.

On the way to the crime scene, Quill called his superior. "Yes, yes... I know it's my fault for not solving the case, but can you hold off scolding me till later?

He was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the window and added, "Now, you must dispatch the police to increase the patrols in Paramount Area. Before we catch the murderer, we can't give him any chances to commit more crimes."

After conversing for a long time, Quill hung up the phone. As soon as he hung up the phone, he swore, "Who would want such a thing to happen? Now that we can't catch the murderer, shouldn't we prevent him from committing another crime?"

Zelson, on the other hand, was much more rational. "Calm down, you don't have to get agitated. The higher-ups have their own rules and regulations. You can't rush these things even if you wanted to. Right now, the most important thing for us is to arrest the criminal before he commits another crime."

"Right now, someone else might fall victim again. Those people don't know how to adapt to the situation at all." Quill knew that it was

best to capture the murderer and bring him to justice before another murder happened. But, what could Quill do now that they couldn't find the murderer?

Zelson did not say anything more. Adrienne sat at the side and did not know whether she should comfort Quill. She thought about it and decided not to. After all, nothing she said would be of much help. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Quill lit a cigarette and remained silent after that.

Zelson secretly glanced at Adrienne several times and wanted to say something, but he ended up not saying anything. When they were almost at their destination, he stopped Adrienne and ordered, "Adrienne, from now on, you are not allowed to leave my sight."

"What?" Adrienne was stunned and did not respond.

"The victims of these cases are all women; your identity is special. For safety's sake, you shouldn't act alone."

Adrienne nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Zelson. I will be careful."

As expected, it was another headless female corpse. The wounds on the body were almost identical to the previous two.

After receiving a simple report from the forensic doctor, Quill called his superior again. "Ralph, there is another headless female corpse in Paramount Area. The forensic doctor preliminarily identified the deceased's injuries, and it's pretty much identical to the previous two. It was very likely that they were all done by the same man. Now, I can be 100% sure that this is a serial killer. He will likely strike again, so we must increase security around Paramount Area."

The person on the other side of the phone muttered something. Quill was so anxious that he kicked the wall twice and paced where he stood. "Yes, it's my incompetence. Feel free to put someone

better than me on the job, but I still have to tell you that you must increase patrols in Paramount Area. We can't have another victim."

After hanging up the phone, Quill waved his hand to gather the police officers. "There are so many onlookers. We can't hide the news anymore. Use my work number to send them all a text and appease them."

The case had already blown up, but the higher-ups still wanted to keep it all a secret. Quill felt that this wouldn't work because the priority was to remind women to be on alert. Any one of them could be the next target.

Seeing Quill being so frustrated, Adrienne was also worried about him. "Sergeant Scott, the autopsy report will be given to you as soon as possible. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to tell me."

"Okay." Quill nodded. "Sorry to trouble you."

For the sake of this case, Quill had gone without sleep for three nights. Exhausted as he was, he still forced himself to be in high spirits. Only by solving the case could he prevent more people from being harmed. But at present, there were still no leads.

"Sergeant Scott, we found something." A police officer suddenly came to report.

Quill turned his head and asked, "What did you find?"

The police officer announced, "There is someone next door, but he or she won't open the door."

"Zelson, Adrienne, you two stay here." Quill took out his gun and said to the police officer, "Follow me."

He motioned for the police officer to knock on the door, but no one opened the door.

Quill exchanged a look with the police officer and the policeman immediately stepped aside. He rushed forward and kicked the door, but before his foot landed, the door opened by itself.

As soon as the door opened, Quill saw a tall and handsome man standing at the door.

The man was wearing a white shirt, but the shirt had been stained red by blood. The blood had solidified, which proved that the blood had been on him for some time... Quill pointed the gun at him and instructed, "Put your hands in the air."

The man smiled disdainfully and sneered, "In all my life, no one has dared to point a gun at me."

"J-Jefferson?" Adrienne came over when she heard the commotion. When she saw that the bloody man by the door was really Jefferson, her mind went blank. "You... Why are you here?"
