Jordan left his home and headed to the hotel where Matt was by car.
Matt was held in purgatory for three days, during which he was told that he would not be fed any food if he refused to speak. But Jordan was merely scaring him and had actually prepared a sumptuous spread for lunch for him.
However, Matt was quite gutsy to have eaten only the fruit and dessert.
Seeing Jordan coming, Matt remained righteous-looking.
“Jordan, I’m still going to say the same thing. Those photos don’t belong to me and I didn’t take those photos at all. I did not disrespect Miss Howard in any way. You may check the footage of every treatment session that I have given her.”
Jordan also compared the people in the photos. The man’s legs were darker and coarser than Matt’s.
Matt was a very gentle person who hadn’t done much physical labor and seldom went to the gym. Hence, they could deduce that Matt was innocent.
“Let’s go, Dr. Gale,” Jordan said to Matt.
Matt asked, “Where to? Do you believe me now?”
Jordan nodded. “To your house. Don’t you want to know who framed you and is mocking me at the same time?”
Hence, Jordan and Matt returned to Matt’s house together.
Jordan firmly believed that there was no perfect crime. Since someone had come to Matt’s home and placed the photos there, they must have left some traces behind.
Firstly, the secret contraption in the headboard of Matt’s bed couldn’t be found easily and it would take at least a few minutes to find it.
Secondly, the photos were placed after the contraption was discovered.
It meant that after this person left, he found a woman with a figure similar to Lauren’s and took those photos with her.
He then came over again.
To have visited twice in a row, there was a high probability that there were clues left behind.
Matt entered his home and asked, “Do you want me to go to the manager of the property and ask for the surveillance footage of the past days?”
In response, Jordan said, “Surveillance cameras are the deadliest enemies of experts and they’re best at evading cameras. He would have been careful to avoid surveillance cameras, leaving fingerprints, and other things like that.”
As Jordan walked, he suddenly smelled a strange odor and asked, “What’s that smell?”
Matt was embarrassed for a while, and he frantically rushed forward to point at a rubbish bin.
“I’m sorry, I’ve been too lazy, this trash can has been full for a long time. I forgot to empty it.”
Jordan said, “Dump out the trash can.”
“Huh?”
Matt was a little reluctant. The trash can was full of filthy things so why would they empty it?
The trash cans in Matt’s house were the kind that was high-end, smart-sensing, and covered. It was not the kind where the contents could be seen immediately at a glance.
Matt nevertheless poured out the contents of the trash can, and the crowd instantly covered their noses.
Feeling bewildered, Salvatore said, “Dr. Gale, you seem to be a clean freak. These rotten eggs have been there for a long time. Yet, you didn’t dump them out.”
Matt was embarrassed.
However, Jordan did not care about these details.
Kicking all the garbage away with his foot, he found a cigarette butt inside.
“Dr. Gale, do you smoke?”
Matt immediately got worked up. “I don’t smoke! This cigarette butt is definitely not mine!”
He shockingly discovered something.
