Accidental love II novel Chapter 30

"Take it easy." Captain Devin calmed Shawn softly, "We think that Mr. Marcus could not be the murderer. We also found his alibi. As for why there are his fingerprints on the fruit knife, our analysis was that he had used this knife before and was secretly taken away by the deceased later. In the surveillance video, no one was approaching the deceased, so she should have committed suicide by standing by the pool."

Captain Devin's speculation made everyone's tense nerves relax. But what he said next made them anxious again.

"At present, it can only be inferred like this, because there is no other evidence and it has not been found out why the deceased committed suicide. We will continue to investigate and we will definitely make it clear."

Shawn frowned, pondering over and over again what Captain Devin said.

After investigating for a long time, the police found no suspicious person from the surveillance video. Except near the swimming pool, no bloodstains of the deceased were found anywhere else, but there were fingerprints of Marcus on the murder weapon. These clues were connected and there were too many coincidences.

"This is the result of the investigation. I have something else to do. I have to go first." Captain Devin got up and prepared to leave.

"Captain Devin, we will cooperate fully. Thank you so much."

"You’re welcome."

Shawn pointed at the servant standing next to him with his chin, and said, "Walk Captain Devin out."

The servant said "um" and led Captain Devin to the door.

"That..." The servant hesitated.

Captain Devin looked around warily, and asked softly, "Do you have any clues? You can tell me."

"I think it must be the dark shadow."

"What shadow?" Captain Devin was deeply surprised.

"It's the..."

Speaking here, the servant quickly stopped in a panic when he saw someone approaching.

Then the servant didn't say a word until Captain Devin left the Clinton’s. Captain Devin looked back at the Clinton’s, feeling that the case was more suspicious.

After Captain Devin left with his men, silence returned to the living room.

Shawn clasped his hands and sat on the sofa with a serious expression on his face. Marcus and Janice were silent, frowning. No one knew what they were thinking.

"Someone." Shawn let out a low growl, breaking the silence.

An elder servant ran up to the three of them, lowered his head slightly and asked, "Mr. Clinton, may I help you?"

"Find a reliable funeral home to bury Ada, and comfort her family members. We will try our best to meet whatever requirements they have. In addition, prepare more pensions."

"Yes." The servant left the living room after taking the order.

Shawn looked sideways at Marcus. He saw that Marcus’ tense face and frowning.

He thought of what Captain Devin had just said, and quickly said to Marcus, "Marcus, Grandpa believes that you didn't kill anyone. You don’t have to have any psychological burden."

Marcus said faintly, "Grandpa, I really didn’t kill Ada. However, based on what I know about Ada, she should not choose to commit suicide. Besides, even if she wants to do this, she doesn’t have to ran to the swimming pool."

"You mean...?" Shawn asked and stared at Marcus without blinking.

"If I'm right, the real murderer wants to frame me." Marcus’ peaceful tone seemed to hide the killing intent.

"Marcus, do you think too much? What does he want to frame you? You pose no threats to anyone."

Although Shawn said so, he didn't completely deny Marcus' conjecture in his mind. Because if there were too many coincidences, it would be no longer a mere coincidence. If there was a man behind the scenes, he definitely couldn't let the other party know their doubts. So it was better to let Marcus stay out of the matter first.

"Grandpa, I don't think things are that simple. The evidence..."

Marcus wanted to continue to argue, but was interrupted mercilessly by Shawn, "The police's investigation result can't be wrong. Just listen to them. Since the villa is not safe, don't run around recently. Stay here. I’m here. No one dares to do anything to you!" Shawn said with a tough tone.

Marcus' heart sank to the bottom of the valley. There was only calmness and coldness in his eyes.

Shawn glanced at Janice, thinking she hadn't recovered from the murder case, so he changed the subject.

"Janice, you said in the morning that the bedroom on the second floor was comfortable, so how about staying here with Marcus for a few more days?"

Janice slightly nodded and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

"Well! If there is nothing else, you two can go back to your room and rest. You guys don't need to accompany me."

Shawn stood up and walked to the bedroom on the first floor with the help of the servant.

Janice pushed Marcus into the study on the second floor. The two had their own concerns, and neither of them spoke.
