Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1374 [Eleven Jewell]

The police had discovered new evidence in the murder case.

A homeless woman had found Walter’s wallet and called Lena. This woman’s son had died on the job, and an autopsy was conducted to investigate the cause. Lena was the forensic examiner involved in the autopsy at that time. It turned out that the woman’s son had died from cardiac arrest during work hours. With this cause of death being overworking, the family was able to claim some compensation. Since Lena had helped them considerably, the woman had kept Lena’s phone number in her contacts all this while.

Therefore, when she found the evidence, she reported it to Lena instead of the police. Lena was unsure if the woman’s story was true, so she visited the scene to confirm whether the items belonged to Walter. Once it was verified, she immediately contacted her colleagues, and the police arrived promptly to secure the area for evidence collection.

The authorities took Walter’s shattered phone to the tech department to recover its data, hoping to find some clues. However, the phone was severely damaged, and data recovery posed a significant challenge. It was also unfortunate that their top tech expert had been temporarily reassigned to another provincial bureau to work on a cross- border fraud case and would not be back for a while.

The other staff in the tech department had limited capabilities, and breaking into the phone’s data required an extended period. Lena knew that every second counted, as the longer they took, the more time the perpetrator had to escape. After some contemplation, she decided to seek her husband’s help.

Her supervisor initially rejected the idea, as homicide case files were typically kept confidential, and outsiders were not invited to participate in investigations. Lena explained the pros and cons and finally put her career on the line, making it impossible for her supervisor to refuse. He reluctantly agreed, as solving this high-profile murder case would greatly benefit his career. ‘Even if something went wrong, Dr. Gray could shoulder the blame,’ he thought.

Soon, Carter received a surprising call from Lena, who explained the situation. Even though he preferred not to get involved with law enforcement, he could not bring himself to turn his wife down when she personally called and asked for his help. So, he agreed to assist in the investigation.

When Lena brought him to the tech department, her colleagues were still busy trying to recover data from the damaged phone. Carter watched for a while and asked, “Is this the phone?”
