The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 90

"He had to hide out for over half a month before he dared to come back to work."

"When he was suddenly taken away today, he thought those guys had reported him out of spite for not getting the information."

"He was so mad that he just blurted that out."

Nora was speechless.

"Dr. Hayes, you didn't finish what you were saying earlier," the officer prompted, still curious about Nora's "problem-solving process."

Nora came back to her senses and continued her explanation. "Following that line of thought, I realized something."

"What's that?"

Nora said, "According to the autopsy, the time of death was within the last one to two hours. That abandoned factory is far away, so the killer must have spent some time at the scene cleaning up their tracks."

"After that, the killer had to rush back to create an alibi. From the victim's body and the crime scene, we can see that blood spattered everywhere. The victim was beaten to death at close range, so the killer's clothes and hands must have been covered in blood."

"Even if the killer could dispose of those traces immediately, a place like a textile factory is crowded and busy. It would be very difficult for the killer to get rid of bloody clothes without arousing suspicion."

"So she needed a buffer."

The officer's eyes widened in understanding.

"The police showing up to question people would cause a commotion in the factory. People are curious, so they would naturally gather to gossip and exchange information. During that time, the killer could freely dispose of the weapon and bloody clothes."

The officer's brow furrowed. "So, will we be in time if we go now?"

Nora wasn't sure. "We'll have to try our best."

"Even without that direct evidence, we still have indirect evidence."

"What's that?"

"The money."

As Nora said this, she glanced at Nathan out of the corner of her eye.
