My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1863

"You didn't know that there was a corpse in the bag? And Pablo was the one who ordered you to dispose of the bag on the rooftop?" Jefferson interrogated as he stared sharply at Salman. At present, they did not have the crucial evidence to prove who the killer was. They only had the video of Salman disposing of the body. It was really hard to tell who was the real murderer between Pablo and Salman.

Both of them were saying different things. Who was the one lying? Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Salman added, "Everyone in Peaksky Building knows what kind of person Pablo is. He gambles all the time, and when he loses, he'll hit his wife and his son. That's why his wife divorced him. He always threatened to fire me and made me do other things outside my job scope. After the divorce, no one cleaned his house, so I became his private cleaner. I'll go to his house three days a week to clean. However, he complains all the time and treated me like sh*t."

Pablo's gambling addiction, as well as the fact that he would hit his wife and son when he lost money, was consistent with Sandy's confession.

Jefferson asked again, "It's just a cleaner's job. If you didn't like it there, why didn't you work somewhere else? Why did you choose to suffer under Pablo?"

"Captain Hefner, you don't understand. I'm old, uneducated, and unskilled. If I lose this job, who will hire me?" Salman's explanation sounded reasonable.

"Then tell me, how did you dispose the body on the rooftop of Peaksky Building?" questioned Jefferson.

Salman answered again, "On the 10th last month, I went to the rooftop to do cleaning. Then at night, I received a call from Pablo asking me to clean the rooftop again. It was already late at night,

and a few people had died there so I was afraid to go, but he threatened me again. So to keep my job, I had no choice but to go."

After a slight pause, Salman continued, "When I rushed there, it was already 11 at night. All the security guards were dozing off and they didn't notice us. Pablo asked me to help him dispose of a garbage bag but when I asked him what was inside, he told me not to ask about it. So I just dragged the bag onto the rooftop without thinking much about it. And while I was doing the job, he stood aside and watched."

It was Pablo who ordered Salman to move the bag as he observed from the side. It was a logical way for Pablo to be able to record the whole thing on camera.

Now, they had to figure out who was lying to find out who the murderer was.

Jefferson remarked, "Pablo admitted that he had something to do with Yannis' suicide 20 years ago, and you knew that it was he who planned the murder. He also mentioned that you have been threatening him with this matter over the years and that he had given you a lot of money to keep you from exposing him. That was the reason why he didn't bring much money home, which resulted in his wife divorcing him."

Salman admitted, "Yes, I knew that he had killed someone. He was the one who planned Yannis' death. I found out about it by accident and he started threatening me. He said that if I dare to tell anyone about it, he would make me regret doing so. All these years, he had been using me and threatening me with this." "You have the evidence of him killing someone, but you let him threaten you. Do you think we will believe that?" Both of them had reasonable explanations. It was impossible for Jefferson to determine who was lying just based on instinct.

Salman responded again, "That's right. I wouldn't believe it either. However, it's one thing that I know he killed someone. I don't have any evidence. Even if I called the police, it would be useless. I could even lose my job."

The case had once again come to a deadlock. Jefferson came out of the interrogation room with a livid face. Quill and the others stayed away from him the moment they noticed his expression.

However, at this time, there was good news from the forensics department. They finally discovered the crime scene and the weapon used for the murder.

The deceased was strangled to death with a necktie at Pablo's house.

The body had already decomposed, and the murderer had cleaned the body before disposing it so there was no strong evidence found on the body. However, after many autopsies, Adrienne found a thin fiber that was almost invisible to the naked eye on the body. She immediately sent it to the forensics team for inspection and found that the fiber was consistent with the fiber of Pablo's necktie. Furthermore, the unwashed blood on the necktie matched the deceased's DNA.

Upon hearing this news, Quill felt extremely vexed. "I was still fooled by Pablo."

However, Jefferson questioned, "Where did you find the necktie?"

The forensic officer answered, "It's in the wardrobe in Pablo's house. The suspect did wash the necktie but he did not manage to wash off the blood traces on it. The team immediately detected it when they examined the necktie."

"Pablo killed someone and then washed the weapon and put it in his wardrobe?" Most people were not that stupid. Jefferson ordered again, "Take your men to get all the surveillance recordings around Pablo's house immediately. Find out who has been to his house in the past month."

The police officer did not understand what Jefferson was thinking and asked, "Captain Hefner, we have found the crime scene and the weapon. Why are we still getting the surveillance recordings around Pablo's house? What did the people who had gone to his house in the past month have anything to do with the case?"

"When we received the report, it was already a month since the murder was committed. Most of the surveillance cameras on the market would overwrite the existing footage after a month..." After a pause, Jefferson continued, "Don't look for the videos within this month. Find the surveillance on the day of death as well as the day before and ask the IT department to restore the data from a month ago."

At this point, everyone understood what he meant. Quill immediately chimed in, "Captain Hefner, I'll order some of our men to get the surveillance recordings right away. Then, I'll contact the IT department to help restore the data."

"Hurry up!" Jefferson commanded.

Soon, they managed to get their hands on the surveillance footage, but it took the IT department some time to restore the data.

It was already five hours later when Jefferson got the information.

The surveillance recordings proved that Pablo did not return home the whole day when the murder was committed while Salman had been to Pablo's house and even stayed there for a while.

Salman revealed that he would clean up Pablo's house, which sounded reasonable. Coincidentally, the deceased happened to have gone to Pablo's home, but there was no surveillance recordings showing that the deceased had ever left.

The evidence of the murder had been found, as well as the crime scene...

Jefferson took the files and sat in front of Salman. He said, "Mr. Zellweger, I have good news for you."

Salman was still calm. He asked, "Captain Hefner, did you find the real murderer?"
