Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 374

"We investigated it. According to the surveillance footage around Kelsington Bay, This person came in a cab and lingered along with the open-air swimming pool until Miss Reed appeared. After the attack, the person took a cab to go." The two police officers took turns explaining.

Amber bit her lip. "What's in her mind? Why did she take a cab?"

She wouldn't have fully covered herself if she didn't care about being discovered.

But she shouldn't have taken a cab if she didn't want to reveal her whereabouts. What was she thinking?

"If she came and left in a cab, the camera should capture the license plate. You should find out the boarding and drop-off location, right?" Jared pursed his lips and said.

"Yes, we found the two drivers. They were impressed with her weird dressing code. She boarded outside the department store from the north, and finally got off the second taxi at the urban village from the west."

"Urban village!" Cole's eyes lit up with enlightenment, "Was it that woman? She lives in the urban village."

"Could be. So, we have sent people to secretly investigate. But there is not much surveillance in the urban village, so it might take time." The police officers said.

Elias unconsciously pushed his glasses and said, "Why did she take the cab outside the department store? It's a few miles from the Kelsington Bay."

This confused Amber too.

Jared glanced at the police officers, "You should know it, right?"

The police officers nodded. "Well, we got the surveillance tape outside the department store. It shows that she arrived at the department store at noon and lingered on the first floor until five p.m. She took a cab to Kelsington Bay after coming out of the washroom. But how did she get to the department store? We're still looking into it."

"What? Did you check the surveillance around the department store?" Cole grumbled.

The officers shook their heads apologetically, "Mr. Lyon, we're sorry. We have looked into the surveillance around the department store, but nothing was found. She seems to suddenly pop up in the department store."

"She changed her clothes!" Jared said decisively, narrowing his eyes, "The camera captured this woman, but she changed her clothes in the department store. It misled us in the wrong direction. That explained why she seemed to pop up in the department store."

"Oh…" The police officers froze in shock.

They did not see this coming.

They were still dwelling on how this woman showed up.

"I agree with Mr. Farrell," Elias said as he looped his arms.

Although Cole hated Jared, this time, they were rarely on the same page.

Amber lowered her eyes while thinking. She then asked, "Since you know her shape, can you figure it out using the process of elimination?"

Before the police officers could answer, Jared chimed in, "It doesn't work. The department store is crowded and lots of people of the same height, so it'll be hard!"

"Mr. Farrell is right. There'll be at least a few hundred suspects in this case, and some might be travelers from other parts of the city. So, we can't search every house. It's a huge workload." The police officers echoed.

Amber fell silent.

Cole patted her shoulder and reassured her, "It's okay. Didn't we know that she got off at the urban village? Her strange dressing code might attract many people's attention. We will definitely catch her."

Amber squeezed out a smile and gave a short reply.

"It's getting late, and we have to go. We'll keep you informed of any progress." The two police officers stood up to leave.
