Chapter 2272
“It’s reliable.” Jeremy assured. “The man who broke into Ava's car didn't do anything to the car. After he went back, he showed off to his group of friends that he received money after he got into the car and put on a show. That night, he used that money to go to the bar to have a good time. He spent all of the money in one night.
“That said, he did not lie and the police even dida polygraph test on him. He passed the test. It seems that someone else tampered with Ava’s car.”
Madeline lifted the thing she just picked up. “That person is most likely the person who left this object.”
“I think so too.” Jeremy agreed. He raised his eyes and looked around. “Unfortunately, this is a blind spot for the surveillance cameras. And the police have investigated everything they could. Linnie, let’s go back.”
Jeremy's words reassured Naya.
The absence of surveillance footage was to her advantage.
However, before she could feel happy for a few more seconds, she suddenly heard that Madeline seemed to have found something important. ‘Jeremy, look at the surveillance camera over there. Do you think it can film what’s going on at this spot?”
Jeremy looked in the direction Madeline pointed and pondered for a few seconds. “Linnie, come on. Let's go to the apartment building’s surveillance room.”
“Okay.” Madeline took Jeremy's hand, and the two left immediately.
Naya hid behind the pillar, listening to the sound of Madeline’s and Jeremy's footsteps getting farther away. After that, she slowly walked out of her hiding place.
She vigilantly looked around, then walked cautiously to the parking space of Ava's car.
The parking space was empty and there was nothing here, but she wondered if she had really dropped something here when she was not paying attention.
Naya did not dare to waste any time and quickly searched around. Luckily, and somewhat surprisingly, she indeed saw something that belonged to her.
It was a brooch that fell over the gutter, but since
the brooch was slightly larger, it got stuck in the
notch.
