Boss Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce Again Chapter 374

“About this, we did investigate further; according to the surveillance footage inside and outside of the Bayside Residence community, we saw that this person came in a taxi, and after arriving at the community, she stayed next to the open-air swimming pool in the community and didn’t leave the swimming pool until Miss Reed appeared. She then followed Miss Reed from behind, and when she left after attacking Miss Reed, she also took a taxi,” the two police officers said one after another.

Sonia bit her lip. “Coming and going via a taxi—is this person being extra cautious or clumsy?”

She wouldn’t be considered clumsy because she knew to disguise herself heavily to not be exposed.

But she wasn’t cautious either since she even revealed her whereabouts by taking a taxi. This made it all the more impossible to guess what that person was thinking.

“Since she came and went by taxi, the surveillance camera should have captured the taxi’s license plate, so you should also know where this person got on and where she got off, right?” Toby pursed his lips.

 

“Yes, indeed. We found the two taxi drivers, and because this person was dressed very strangely, it left a deeper impression on these two drivers. This person stopped the taxi at the department store on the north side of the city and finally got off at Midbert Village in the west of the city.”

“Midbert Village!” Charles’ eyes brightened. “Could it be that person actually lives in Midbert Village?”

 

“We naturally thought about this possibility as well, so we have already sent plainclothes officers to investigate around the area, but because there is no surveillance in the village, it may take a long time,” the two police officers said.

Tim pushed his glasses and said, “I don’t get it. Why did this person choose to come from the department store? It’s about dozens of kilometers away from Bayside Residence.”

This question happened to be where Sonia was most puzzled.

Toby looked at the two police officers. “You must have looked into this already, right?”

The two police officers nodded. “That’s right. We have obtained the surveillance from the department store, and it shows that this person appeared in the department store at noon. After she appeared, she stayed in the lobby of the first floor of the department store. It wasn’t until 5.00PM in the afternoon that this person went to the bathroom, and after coming out, she went straight out of the department store to hail a taxi and went to Bayside Residence. However, we couldn’t find out how this person got to the department store.”

“Couldn’t find out? The surveillance near the department store didn’t capture anything about her?” Charles asked, obviously dissatisfied.

The two police officers shook their heads apologetically. “Mr. Lane, you’re right. We have watched all the surveillance near the department store, and there was indeed no footage of this person at all, so this person seemed to have suddenly appeared in the department store.”

“She must have changed her disguise!” Toby squinted his eyes, and his voice was very certain. “It’s not that the surveillance cameras near the department store didn’t get any footage of this woman—it’s highly likely that the woman hadn’t changed into her disguise, so you couldn’t recognize her. Which means, this person changed her clothes after entering the department store, so this can explain why she ‘appeared out of thin air’.”

Hearing that, the two police officers were startled because the both of them really didn’t think about this at all.

They were still wondering how this person appeared out of nowhere, but they didn’t expect that it might have been because she had put on a disguise at a later time.

“I also agree with President Fuller’s statement,” Tim said, wrapping his arms.

Although Charles hated Toby, this time, he didn’t disagree because he agreed with his take on this.

Sonia lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, “Since you have that person’s body data, can you use the exclusion method to narrow down the suspect?”

Before the two police officers could answer, Toby answered her first. “No. There is too much traffic in the department store, and there are definitely a lot of people of the same height and figure, so it is impossible to lock her down!”

“President Fuller is right. If we really tried to narrow down the suspects based on the figure, there would be at least a few hundred people there that day. These hundreds of people are not necessarily nearby residents; it is possible that many of them are from other parts of Seafield or even other cities, so we can’t summon people from every household—the workload would be too much,” the two police officers also said.

Sonia was silent after hearing that.

Charles patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, “It doesn’t matter, Darling. Didn’t she get off at Midbert Village? Many people must have seen her in that disguise, then we will be able to catch her.”

Sonia squeezed the corners of her mouth, barely showing a smile, as she responded dismissively.

“It’s getting late. We don’t want to take more of your time, Miss Reed. You have a good rest—we will head back to the police station first. If there is any progress, we will notify you in time.” The two police officers stood up.
