My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1855

Jefferson did not say anything more. Just then, the police officer brought over the person who made the report. Jefferson went over and scrutinized the person. He asked in a low voice, "What's your relationship with the victim?"

"I-I..." Logically, the first question most people would ask was something along the line of "Were you the one who made the report?" "When did you find the corpse?", and other routine questions as such.

However, Jefferson was no ordinary man. His first question was to ask about their relationship. The person who made the report stammered for quite a while before he managed to utter, "I have nothing to do with the victim."

"No relationship at all then?" Jefferson's gaze was sharp as he said with a faint smile, "Forensics will need to run a DNA test to identify the corpse. You could barely even see his face, how are you so sure that you don't know the victim?"

"I- I..." The person stammered again and answered after a moment, "It's because I can't recognize the victim that I said I have nothing to do with him... More importantly, none of my family members is missing. So this corpse must not have anything to do with me."

"Then, are any of your close friends or colleagues missing? Let me put it this way, why are you acting like you've stumbled upon this body when you were the one who committed the murder?" asked Jefferson.

"Why... why are you doing this? I am the person who called in the report. I found this rotten corpse. I didn't kill anyone. You can't question me like I'm the criminal." The reporter plucked up his courage and shouted. But when he was met with Jefferson's fierce eyes, he shrunk his neck in fright. "As a law enforcement officer, how can you simply accuse people? I will sue you."

"Quill, he said he is going to sue me. Please show him the way, let him sue me right now." Jefferson couldn't be bothered about threats like this. He was too lazy to even explain. It was better to let an experienced man like Quill take over.

Thus, Quill stepped forward and politely said in a serious tone, "Sir, every citizen of our country has the duty to cooperate with the police to investigate the case. Before we find any evidence to prove who the real murderer is, we can't eliminate our suspicions of you. Please do cooperate with us."

The man pointed to himself and spoke again after a pause. However, this time, he wasn't afraid. Rather, he was more emotional. "How did a good citizen like me who reported the crime suddenly get turned into a murder suspect? You guys..." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Quill patted him on the shoulder. "Calm down... Please return to the station with us and cooperate with our investigation. Let's work together so that we can find the murderer as soon as possible."

The man was feeling very upset, but he could only follow them back obediently.

After speaking to the man who made the report, Jefferson went around the rooftop to try and understand the scene.

Peaksky Building was 248 meters high. It used to be the tallest building in Chatterton Town when it had just been built. But it was built quite long ago, so many taller buildings emerged after. Consequently, Peaksky Building soon lost its place as Chatterton Town's tallest building.

Just as Peaksky Building lost its place, in the next three years after that, there were three different cases of suicides that took place here. This resulted in Peaksky Building becoming pretty much a wasteland.

Peaksky Building was built with the intent of being Chatterton Town's tallest building. Although the rent was much higher than similar buildings in the area, many companies still rented the building.

Hence, the three suicides were all committed by employees who worked in the building.

The first case was regarding a couple from company A. There was a young man and a young woman who had feelings for each other. They eventually started dating and they were very sweet. Many people were envious of them.

However, their love did not last. In the short span of half a year, the man had become very distant from the woman and they started arguing more often.

The man couldn't stand having a wrecked relationship. He confessed that he had fallen for another girl, and he had even brought that girl to meet the woman.

At the sight of the much younger and much prettier girl, the woman had been close to going insane. She had first pulled at the man and beat him up in a fit of rage. Then, in front of the entire company, she asked the man to choose between her and the other girl.

The man had brought his new girl over with the intention of cutting things off with the woman, and the latter had humiliated him in front of the entire company. Thus, he had no hesitation when he rejected that woman. He had said to her, "I'd rather die than be with you again."

The man's ruthless words had killed all hope she had. Furious, she climbed to the roof of Peaksky Building and jumped down from the 284- meter tall building. Her body had shattered into pieces.

At the time, news of this incident had become a sensation and it was reported for quite a while on the local news. Many people blamed the man. There had even been strangers who would block his way downstairs and throw eggs at him.

This continued for a long time and seriously affected the man's work, so the company had to persuade him to quit. This matter could have come to an end, but who would've thought that at the

same time the following year, the man jumped off the building where the woman had jumped off. Likewise, his body had shattered into pieces as well.

After that incident, many people claimed that the woman had brought the man away. The news struck fear in everyone's hearts, and for a while, no one dared to stay late to work overtime. Everyone would leave as soon as they could.

What was even more unexpected was that in the third year, at the same time and same location, the pretty girl who had cheated with the man jumped off the building too. Again, her body shattered into pieces.

After these three incidents happened, the rumor of Peaksky Building being haunted intensified. Many companies moved out of the building and the only ones left were those companies that weren't doing well financially.

After the three incidents, the building was practically emptied out, and the whole building was shrouded in shadows. The manager had the roof blocked, and the only key to open the door to the roof was with him. No one was allowed to go up there. Every month, the cleaners would go up and clean for a day, but no one else was ever around there otherwise.

Jefferson had already briefly read up about Peaksky Building on their way there. Hence, he didn't need to ask to know that the man who made the police report must have been one of the cleaners.

The rooftop door was a thick steel door that could not be burst open. Even if it could, there would be a huge commotion and the building's security guards were bound to hear it. So, the only lead left was to talk to the building's manager.

Jefferson looked back and saw that Adrienne was almost done with her work. He really wanted to go and take care of her, but he knew very well that she preferred to stay professional on the job. Therefore, he dismissed his idea.

Only then did he call for the police officer. "Find the manager who owns the key to the rooftop. I have questions to ask."
