Hearing this, Violet patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, one day, they will clear their name."
"I hope so." Jessie let out a bitter smile and pulled out something from her pocket.
It was a round and black badge, with a pattern of a samurai sword on it, which looked very eerie.
"Jessie, what kind of badge is this?" Violet asked with a frown.
Jessie held up the badge in her hand, "You mean this?"
Violet nodded, "It looks eerie, how did you get it?"
Jessie replied, "It was picked up at the crime scene of George's parents, it was still stained with blood at that time, and I lost it later, and I didn't find it until the day before yesterday when I was sorting through the previous things."
"Picked it up at the crime scene?" Violet took the badge, "Anything at the crime scene can be a clue, how can you just pick things up from there?"
"I didn't know it at the time, and it was the third time I went to the crime scene, I picked it up under the coffee table. The crime scene had been cleared at that time, this thing was missed by those officers, I wanted to give it to the officers later, but I forgot about it, and I didn't know where to put it." Jessie sighed.
"It couldn't have been left behind by the person who killed George's parents, could it?" Violet lifted the badge up and looked at it carefully.
Jessie shook her head, "I don't know if it's the killer's or George's parents'."
"Ask George about it." Violet handed the badge back to her, "If it's his parents' stuff, he must know, otherwise, it's the killer's. According to this, we can find the killer, and we will be able to clear the injustice of George’s parents."
"Really ...... Is it possible?" Jessie's voice trembled up, "Wouldn't it be a bit less practical to find the killer with just the badge?"
"If it was another badge, it might be unlikely, but this one, it can definitely be found." Violet said with certainty.
Jessie blinked, "Why?"
"Don't you notice the material of this badge? It's black gold. Black gold production is rare and expensive, usually making jewelry wouldn't be extravagant to use all black gold, but this badge, it's all black gold, what does that mean? It means that the identity of the person is definitely not ordinary." Violet speculated.
Jessie's eyes lit up, "More than ten years ago, George's family was just an ordinary family, so there was no way they could afford black gold, so it seems that this badge is the killer's."
"Highly likely, the man carried this badge around with him, so obviously someone else had seen it, and if we go based on that, we'll definitely be able to find out."
"What if we can't find out?" Jessie was worried.
For more than ten years, she had thought about lifting the misunderstanding between her family and George all the time, but she had never succeeded.
So she was really scared that it wouldn't work out just as well this time.
"Try it, how can you know if you don't try?" Violet knew what was in Jessie's mind and smiled to comfort her, "Ask George, I'll also ask Stanley to inquire about this badge."
Jessie bit her lower lip and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll try, I'll call George and ask him out to talk."
"Go for it." Violet made a cheering gesture.
Jessie got up and went out.
Violet began to look at the designs that had been handed in by the employees during this time.
By noon, Jessie came back, her eyes were red and she had obviously cried.
When Violet saw her, she hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and stood up, "What's wrong?"
"Violet ......" Jessie bit her lower lip and ran straight over, hugging Violet tightly and crying.
Violet patted her back and didn't ask any more questions, letting her cry.
When she was almost done crying, she asked anew, "Jessie, what's wrong?"
"George ...... he ......" Jessie took a breath, suppressed the urge to cry again, and replied with a choked voice, "He still refuses to believe me, even after I took out the badge."
Smiling, Violet stroked her hair, "That's for sure, he unanimously believes that his parents' death was caused by you guys, so even if you find out the badge, he will only think that you are sophomoric, because a badge can't prove that you guys are innocent, unless the killer is caught and admits that he has nothing to do with you guys, otherwise for George who is caught in an obsession, everything is not believable."
