My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 1117 Who's the Murderer?

"Leaf, you're so brilliant." Julien finally looked less serious and gave Sydney a smile.

Sydney grunted proudly, "Of course. After all, I'm the one who first sensed something was wrong with this matter."

"Yes, how about I reward you later?" Julien said as his eyes darkened.

Sydney's face immediately stiffened, and then her arms formed a cross in front of her chest. "Stop. Don't even think about it."

'Don't even think about it?'

Julien snorted.

He had already thought about it anyway.

Anyway, he had already made up his mind to reward her later, and he would never break his promise.

He was not that kind of fickle person.

Of course, Julien did not show this thought to Sydney.

Otherwise, she would have to find an excuse to refuse him.

Seeing that Julien didn't say anything, Sydney thought that Julien had given up on this idea, so she was greatly relieved and then changed the topic. "However, how do you know that Mr. Dodson fell after taking the documents out? After all, it's not like you were there."

"The vice principal told me. He and Mr. Dodson had a good relationship. After Mr. Dodson's accident, the vice principal rushed over at once. He saw Mr. Dodson's body and the documents in

his arms. The vice principal also confirmed from that team leader that Mr. Dodson had gone back to the office to fetch the documents. As Mr. Dodson's future student, I naturally had to figure out the situation, so I went to the vice principal. He told me that he and Mr. Dodson were relatives and that whether or not he could be promoted after the principal retired was linked with Mr. Dodson. Mr. Dodson was a professor under him. Only when Mr. Dodson's research succeeded could the vice principal be promoted, so he was the last person to want something to happen to Mr. Dodson. Thus, the vice principal wouldn't lie to me about this matter."

Sydney nodded her head. "Since the vice principal knew that Mr. Dodson fell had fallen down right after coming out of the office, why hadn't he ever thought that maybe Mr. Dodson's death wasn't an accident? After all, the appearance of the banana peel was so strange. Yet not only the vice principal but also the police didn't suspect it. The police even closed the case soon and defined it as an accident. This is very abnormal. I don't believe that the police didn't notice anything suspicious, so I have a guess now."

"The police and the vice principal were bribed after the incident, so even though they had suspicions, they acted as if they didn't. You want to say this, right?" Julien looked at her.

Sydney nodded. "Yes, I guess so. It was just too strange, right? Cases about death are rarely closed so quickly. Even if it was really an accident, it should have been reported to apply for closure after a 72-hour investigation. However, this matter was closed the day after the incident. This is simply abnormal. It seems like someone bribed the police to close the case soon and define it as an accident. That meant no one else could investigate it further. Speaking of which, did Mr. Dodson have any family members?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sydney looked at Julien.

Julien shook his head. "He's alone. His family was killed by gangsters. He was the only one who survived."

"No wonder." Sydney pursed her red lips. "Just because Mr. Dodson didn't have family, even if the case was closed hastily, no one would stand up against it. How come you didn't realize something was wrong with it at that time?"

"I found out and prepared to reopen the case." Julien lowered his eyes. "But before I could do so, I was hospitalized due to a heart attack, and that matter went nowhere."

"I see." Sydney's gaze fell on Julien's chest. "So is your heart fine now? I've heard that even if one has a heart transplant, there will be some problems because it's not his original heart. Over the years, have you ever felt any discomfort in your heart?"

She then realized that she seemingly had not cared about this problem of his.

Julien didn't expect Sydney to ask this. He stiffened slightly. "No. Everything's fine."

When he answered, he dropped his eyelids a little, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

Sydney didn't notice anything different about Julien and was relieved to hear his reply. "That's good."

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. We'll be together for the rest of our lives, so how can I let anything happen to my heart?" Julien stroked her hair. "Trust me."

A suitable heart had been found.

It was just that the donor wasn't dead yet.

Julien wasn't one of those demons who chose to kill others by despicable means to live.

Indeed, he wanted to replace his heart soon, but he wouldn't let the donor die just for that.

Furthermore, the donor was now nearing the end of his life. He would die within half a year.

Julien could afford to wait.

"I trust you. " Sydney looked at Julien and nodded with a smile.

Julien took his hands back. "Let's get back to business. Who do you think might have murdered Mr. Dodson?"

Sydney ate some soup. "Are you quizzing me?"

Julien smiled, "Maybe."

Sydney looked up and gave Julien a black look. "You asked such an easy question. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No." Julien hurriedly shook his head.

He already read the annoyance in her eyes.

Seeing that Julien was so sensible, Sydney said with satisfaction, "Huh, that's more like it. Since you asked me, I can answer you. It is very simple. Whoever benefited the most is suspicious. Let me ask you. After Mr. Dodson's death, who became Mr. McDaniel's student?"

"Me," Julien replied.

Sydney nodded. "Then who received the inspection team after Mr. Dodson's death? I guess it was Mr. McDaniel too."

Julien curved his lips. "How do you know?"

"It's very simple. You said the only two economics teachers you valued were Mr. Dodson and Mr. McDaniel, so obviously, in economics, they were the top figures. Your school let Mr. Dodson receive the inspection team, which showed that the inspection team was influential. If not, your school

wouldn't have chosen Mr. Dodson. If they had chosen someone of less importance, it would have made that team feel humiliated and caused diplomatic problems between the two countries. Although Mr. Dodson passed away later, the inspection team wouldn't terminate its work because of it. So the school would naturally rearrange for someone to receive the team, and this person's status absolutely couldn't be lower than Mr. Dodson's. Thus, Mr. McDaniel was the only choice."

"Leaf, you're amazing." Julien put down his red wine glass and gave Sydney a thumbs up.

Sydney's eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassment as she waved her hand. "Don't flatter me. Anyway, I insist that whoever benefited the most is suspicious. After Mr. Dodson passed away, Mr. McDaniel became your teacher and received the inspection team. Later, he even became the top expert in economics in our country. There is no longer anyone competing with him. Anyway, he hit three birds with one stone. What do you think?"
