Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 307

I quickly motioned to stop the video, pointing at a particular spot on the screen, "Zoom in. Right here."

The young officer complied immediately, patiently enlarging the image as per my instruction.

I stared at the image, then turned to the other officers in the room, "Can you see what shoes he's wearing?"

The remaining officers in the room turned their attention to the image, scrutinizing it carefully. The conference room was silent, and every eye was glued to the screen.

"It looks like canvas shoes." Hannah, standing behind me, mused aloud.

Another officer agreed, "It certainly looks like a pair of canvas shoes."

I slammed my hand on the table, "Exactly! Those are the shoes. Jerome's particularly fond of these shoes now. "

The room buzzed with renewed energy, everyone straining to confirm the suspect's shoes.

The image was zoomed to its maximum. One officer, squinting from the back of the room, called out, "Yes, those are the shoes."

"And I noticed that, despite the oversized raincoat, the way he walks, it's eerily similar to Jerome's," I added.

The leader seemed pleased, extending a hand to me, "Thank you, Ms. Wilburn. You've saved us a lot of time. Now we know who to focus our investigation on."

Eagerly, I asked, "Now that we have this evidence, shouldn't we arrest him?"

"We need solid evidence. If we can prove he left the celebration early and found Evan. We can arrest him. " the officer replied, his voice revealing a hint of compassion.

I understood what he meant. He was suggesting that we need to find Evan's dead body.

It seemed no one wanted to face that harsh reality.
