After the server left, Natalie asked with a serious expression, “Where are the hair samples?”
“Here.” The detective took out four ziplock bags from his briefcase and handed them to her.
Natalie took them with both hands. She then noticed that the four ziplock bags were labeled with the names Jasmine, Harrison, Susan, and Warren respectively. Beaming in satisfaction, she blurted, “Thank you very much!”
“You’re welcome. I’m paid to do this, after all.” The detective waved a hand in a dismissive gesture.
When Natalie had put the hair samples away, the server came over with the milk and coffee.
After taking a sip of milk, Natalie queried, “How’s Jasmine doing these days?”
“She has been discharged, but her condition isn’t too good. She’s ruined, and her legs are also crippled.”
As the detective stirred the coffee, he tsked and continued, “Also, the police is already aware that she has been faking her mental instability and extended her sentence for another two years. Logically speaking, she should be taken back to prison after being discharged, but for some reason, the police have no plans to do so. Instead, they seem to be planning to have her stay at the mental hospital.”
However, Natalie wasn’t at all surprised upon hearing this since Shane had already told her about it.
What was more, it because he’d negotiated with the police that Jasmine didn’t have to return to prison.
But little did anyone know that Jasmine’s days in the mental hospital would definitely be far worse than her being in prison.
“Got it. You don’t need to keep an eye on Jasmine anymore. Instead, I want you to investigate Susan Sullivan and Warren Litch. I want to know the entirety of their past,” Natalie declared as she placed the glass of milk down.
The detective nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. As long as the price is right, everything is possible.”
After saying that, he guzzled down the coffee in a single go. Then, he got up and left.
Conversely, Natalie was in no rush to leave. It was only when she’d finished the milk languidly did she get to her feet, going over to the cashier to pay before leaving.
At night, they had dinner at Natalie’s apartment.
The two children wanted to try out the hot pot, so she bought plenty of ingredients to cook hot pot for them.
