Chapter 309 The Murderers She Suspected Turned Out To Be Them
Remington and Cecelia immediately rushed to Esmee's previous residence.
When they arrived there, they not only met Fredric but also Roger and other members of the criminal investigation team.
"Captain Shawn."
Remington stepped forward and asked, "What new clues did you find?"
"We have collected fingerprints and footprints in the house. After verification and elimination, we are now sure that there are footprints of two other people in the house."
Roger showed them the printed information. Cecelia took it looked at the footprints and said. "According to this size, it should be a woman's footprints. Could the murderer be a woman?"
"Yes, our preliminary estimate is that the murderer is most likely a woman. Come and take a look. We have other supporting evidence."
Roger played the video that his subordinates got from the distant surveillance cameras for them to watch.
"The crime occurred at night. This was a surveillance area at the alley. Although it was not comprehensive, it happened to capture the suspect's back. From the screen, you can see two suspects checking a suitcase and leaving."
Both Remington and Cecelia stared carefully at the suspect's back on the video screen.
It could be judged from their size and body shape that the two people were women, but due to the darkness of the night, their backs were blurry.
"In other words, Esmee's first death place may have been at her residence. After being strangled, her body has been put in a suitcase and thrown to a reservoir, and the murderers dismembered the body there?"
Remington asked analytically.
"It should be like this. We have also found the suitcase where the body was dumped. It is in a ditch 2 kilometers away from the place where the body was dumped." Captain Shawn said.
Cecelia was still thinking carefully about the situation at the time of the crime. Two female suspects sneaked into Esmee's residence, took advantage of her unpreparedness, and strangled her neck from behind.
The weapon used to strangle her may have been a thin wire. If the suspect strangled with her force, then it would leave marks on the murderer's hands.
A flash of light suddenly appeared in Cecelia's mind. She suddenly remembered that when she visited Kara in the ward, she found deep marks on her hands at the thenar level.
Could it be...
Cecelia didn't dare to think about it. She just said directly to Remington. "Remington, give me your tie now!"
"What do you want a tie for?"
Cecelia didn't explain, just pulled the tie off his neck and asked Remington to squat down.
Remington did as he was told, and then Cecelia simulated the strangling action and walked behind Remington's neck. As expected, she felt a strong sense of oppression in the palms of her hands and the hypothenar area.
Of course, she did not strangle Remington with force, but she would definitely use all her strength if the suspect committed the crime and strangled him with a thin wire.
There would be deep marks on the deceased's neck, and there may also be marks on the suspect's hands.
Cecelia let go of Remington. Remington stood up and asked. "Cece, did you find something?"
"It's hard to say yet, I just want to demonstrate."
Cecelia helped him tie his tie and looked at the suspect's back on the surveillance camera again.
Judging from the picture, the two suspects were about the same size from the back.
Although Cecelia didn't believe it, all this reminded her of Jessica and Kara.
If it was them, why did they do it?
Why kill Esmee?
And why took one of Esmee's hands after killing her?
Cecelia couldn't understand. But all these were just coincidences she saw, and they couldn't be used to prove that Jessica and Kara were the murderers.
No matter what, she didn't want to believe that this was what they did, and she needed more evidence to prove her conjecture.
"Captain Shawn, have you investigated the Taylor Group?"
Cecelia always suspected Maggie was the one who wanted to kill Esmee. Only she would think Esmee's existence was a threat. She would be the happy one if Esmee was getting rid of.
"We have secretly investigated and monitored through technical means, and no abnormalities have been found."
Roger did not find any words or deeds by Maggie or the people from the Taylor Group to hire people to kill Esmee. At least during the investigation, there was nothing involving Esmee.
Cecelia nodded to agree with him.
No exception was found, which did not mean that there was no exception.
Maggie was good at scheming, even if he wanted to get rid of Esmee, she would definitely not did it herself.
"There are only so many clues for now, and we will launch a reward to collect clues."
Roger was about to use the surveillance screenshots to collect more clues from enthusiastic citizens and witnesses.
"Well, I'll contact you later if there are new clues."
After communicating with Roger, Cecelia came back with Remington.
On the way back, Remington saw her worried look and asked with concern."Cece, are you okay? Have you discovered anything?"
He could feel that she seemed to have unfinished words before, as if she was deliberately holding back.
"I was just thinking about the relationship between Esmee and the murderer, and the murderer's motive for suddenly killing her."
"I have always suspected that the person most likely to kill Esmee is Maggie."
"But guess who I thought of when I saw the surveillance suspect's back?"
"Who are they?"
Cecelia would not make anything public until the matter was finalized, but for Remington, she was willing to tell him everything she was thinking.
"Jessica and Kara."
Suddenly hearing her mention these two people, Remington stepped on the brakes.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and he asked in disbelief. "What did you say? It was Jessica and Kara who did it?"
"Calm down! It's just my personal guess."
"How could you suspect them?"
"There are two doubts. First, from the surveillance footage, the two female suspects appear to be about the same height and shape from the back."
"Second, when I was in the hospital today, I accidentally discovered that Kara had strangulation marks on her both palms. How could a normal person leave strangulation marks on the palms?"
Remington followed her words and said. "Unless she was strangling someone else, she might also be strangled. So this is what you demonstrated with my tie just now?"
"Yes."
"Let me make a bold assumption. If the murderers are really Jessica and Kara. Could they be Maggie's people? Then the reason why they killed Esmee was because they were instructed by Maggie?"
"Yes, that's what I thought too. Now that I think about it, I'm scared. If Jessica and Kara were Maggie's people, then the fact that when I gave birth our daughter five years ago was not the one we thought. Maybe they did something to our daughter."
"Maybe they lied about the child's death, but actually gave our daughter to Maggie to raise. And then Maggie will get my weekness."
"If this is really the case, then Jessica and Kara have been deceiving me all the time!"
Cecelia couldn't describe the complicated mood at this moment. How could the person she once trusted the most be part of the conspiracy?
"I thought of something else!"
"What is it?"
