Chapter 675: 222: Sylvia Thompson never expected this! _2
Although it’s not very obvious, it can still be discerned.
“Miss Thompson, did you find something?” Ling walked over from the side.
Viola Thompson nodded slightly and handed the tissue to Ling, “Officer Kim, take a look at this.”
Ling took the tissue and frowned slightly, “There’s blood.”
Viola calmly surveyed the surroundings of the bathroom, a simulation flashed before her eyes, and her lips parted slightly, “I suspect that James was suddenly attacked while he was washing at the sink.”
Only when a person is completely off guard can they be fatally injured by a single strike.
Having said that, Viola paused and continued, “Furthermore, the attacker is someone James trusts deeply.”
Perhaps, even at the moment when James was dying, he had never imagined that the real killer was TA!
Ling continued, “Then why did the murderer drag James’ body from here to the living room?”
Viola replied, “Because the killer doesn’t want us to know that James was killed when he was off guard.”
If the murderer was really Edward Thompson, then James wouldn’t be unguarded.
After all, just three days ago, Edward had held a kitchen knife and threatened to kill James.
If Edward suddenly appeared in the bathroom with a kitchen knife, James would definitely be on guard when he saw it.
Ling nodded slightly, “So both Sylvia Thompson and Afra Gracen are suspects.”
As they spoke, Viola’s gaze fell on the trash can nearby.
Ling followed her gaze.
She found that Viola had a natural talent for investigation.
No matter how subtle the clues, they couldn’t escape her eyes.
Just as Ling hadn’t noticed anything on the trash can, Viola walked to the side of the trash can, bent down slightly, and picked up a hair-like strand.
About 7-8 centimeters long.
This hair-like object was exactly the same as the ‘fake hair’ Viola found in the crevices of James’ nails.
However, the identification results hadn’t come out yet, and it couldn’t be confirmed for now that this was fake hair.
Viola put the found evidence into a sealed bag.
No other evidence was found.
Viola and Ling went downstairs.
The night wind picked up.
Although it was a hot summer night, it felt chilling.
Ling handed the evidence to the officer in the patrol car, and then looked at Viola, “Miss Thompson, it’s getting late. Let’s send you back first. I’ll notify you once the forensic department’s results are out tomorrow.”
Viola smiled faintly, “No need to send me, I can ride a bike back.”
“A bike?” Ling was taken aback.
Miss Thompson pointed to a shared bicycle on the side of the road and explained, “I’ll ride a bicycle, it’s good exercise.”
Ling nodded slightly, “Miss Thompson, please pay attention to traffic safety on the way and send me a message when you get home.”
Ling watched Viola go to the side of the road and smoothly get on a shared bicycle before getting in the car and leaving at ease.
After getting in the car, she found that Oliver Andrews was also in the car.
“Oliver, when did you get here?” Ling asked in surprise.
Oliver Andrews said, “When I arrived, Sophie Cooper had just come down from upstairs. Did you see her?”
Oliver squinted his eyes, “Have you noticed that the Thompson sisters have some similarities in some aspects?”
Although Sylvia was the adopted daughter of the Thompson Clan, she and Viola were still sisters in name.
“Where are they similar?” Ling asked curiously.
Oliver continued, “Miss Viola Thompson is very calm, she doesn’t seem like a teenager. Sylvia is also very calm. Who else would dare to come to the crime scene to burn paper money alone in the dead of night?”
“Viola is truly indifferent, calm even when a mountain crumbles before her. But Sophie Cooper is different; she gives me a strange feeling. Oliver, have you ever thought that if Sophie is the real killer, she must have a reason to come here. Maybe she wants to destroy evidence, or she might come back to check if she left any evidence when she committed the crime! If Sophie really left any evidence, she would definitely force herself to come to the scene to destroy it. At that time, even if she is very scared, she can’t show it, and she can only bear it.”
Humans are creatures with unlimited potential.
Once pushed to the edge, they are capable of anything.
As for Sylvia, if she is the murderer, then what wouldn’t she dare to do when she can even kill people?
