Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 374 An Urban Village
The chief police officer said, "As for that, we investigated it indeed. According to the surveillance footage of Shallow Bay and outside Shallow Bay, we saw that the woman arrived at Shallow Bay by taxi. Then she stayed beside Shallow Bay's outdoor swimming pool all the time and didn't move until Ms. Raines showed up. When she saw Ms. Raines, she followed Ms. Raines. Then she attacked Ms. Raines and left by taxi."
Sydney bit her lip and said, "By taxi? Is she cautious or careless?"
If the woman was careless, why did she cover herself completely in case her identity would be exposed?
If the woman was cautious, why did she take taxis casually and expose her trace? Sydney felt confused.
Julien compressed his lips and said, "Now that she arrived and left by taxi, the surveillance cameras must have shot the taxis' number plates. Also, you knew where she got in the taxi and where she got out of the taxi, right?"
The chief police officer said, "You're right. We found the two taxi drivers. The woman was strangely dressed, so they were impressed. She hailed a taxi beside the mall in the north of the city and got out of the taxi in an urban village in the west of the city."
Luke's eyes lit up. He said, "An urban village! Is it possible that the woman lives in the urban village?"
The other police offer said, "We considered it and arranged for plain-clothes police officers to investigate. There are few surveillance cameras in the urban village, so it will take some time."
Finn pushed his glasses up his nose and said, "Why did the woman go to Shallow Bay from the mall in the north of the city? The mall is dozens of kilometers from Shallow Bay."
Sydney also felt confused about the question the most.
Julien looked at the two police officers and said, "You must have investigated it, right?"
The chief police officer nodded and said," You're right. We checked the surveillance footage of the mall. It showed that the woman showed up in the mall at noon that day. She stayed in the mall's hall on the first floor all the time. At 5 p.m., she went to the restroom. After that, she walked out of the mall and hailed a taxi to Shallow Bay. As for how she got to the mall, we didn't replace it out."
Luke said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't replace it out? Didn't the surveillance cameras around the mall shoot her?"
The chief police officer shook his head apologetically and said, "Mr. Chase, we checked the surveillance footage around the mall, but we didn't replace her trace. It was as if she showed up in the mall suddenly." Julien narrowed his eyes and said firmly," The woman changed clothes! The surveillance cameras around the mall shot her, but she didn't change clothes at the time, so you didn't recognize her. It meant that the woman changed the clothes in the mall, so it seemed that she showed up in the mall suddenly."
The two police officers were surprised.
They didn't think of it indeed.
They felt confused why the woman showed up suddenly but didn't think that she had changed clothes in the mall.
Finn crossed his arms above his chest and said, "I agree with President Flint."
Although Luke disliked Julien, Luke also agreed with Julien this time. It was rare for Luke.
Sydney looked down, thought about it and said suddenly, "You have the woman's figure data. Can't you replace out the suspects by process of elimination?"
Before the two police officers replied, Julien said, "It's not practicable. The amount of customers in the mall is large.
Many people have similar heights and weights. It's impossible to replace out the suspects!"
The chief police officer said, "President Flint is right. If we do so, we will replace out hundreds of people with similar heights and weights. Besides, not all of them live nearby. Some people may live in other places in Port City or come from other cities, so it's impossible for us to investigate or summon them door to door. The workload is too heavy."
Sydney kept silent.
Luke patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, darling. The woman got out of the taxi in the urban village. She was strangely dressed. The people in the neighborhood must have seen her. We will catch her."
Sydney forced a smile and nodded.
The two police officers stood up and said," It's getting late. Ms. Raines, we will get out of your hair and return to the police station. If there is any news, we will inform you in time."
Sydney nodded and said, "OK, thank you. Luke, please see them off."
Luke said, "OK." Then he went to see the two police officers off.
Only Sydney, Julien and Finn were left in the ward.
Julien looked at her and said, "The police are short of men. It will take a long time for them to ask for information from the inhabitants in the neighborhood of the urban village, so I will arrange for a group of people to help the police. We will get the result soon."
Sydney compressed her lips and said," Could you please not interfere with my business? I have just returned you a favor with difficulty. I owe you a lot, so I'm reluctant to owe you anymore." 'Have returned me a favor with difficulty?'
A trace of confusion flashed through Julien's eyes.
He didn't understand her meaning.
But he didn't think much about it. He looked down and said calmly, "I do these things for you, not because I want you to owe me. I just want to do something for you.
Sydney said, "But I don't need it. Do you understand that I don't need it?" She patted the quilt angrily.
Finn leaned against the cold wall and looked at them with relish.
Julien sat on the hospital bed, looked at her seriously and said, "No. You need my help. You're not strong enough and thus can't protect yourself, so you need someone to protect you behind your back!" Sydney said, "But the person can be Luke or Layden. Anyway, the person won't be you." Although she couldn't see him, her gaze was firm.
Julien felt sad but kept calm. He said, "But Luke and Layden can't protect you all the time because they're not strong enough."
She warned him coldly, "It doesn't matter. I have never planned to rely on them to become strong. Mind your own business. I don't need your help. I feel disturbed!"
Julien didn't feel angry but smiled, "Even if I don't interfere with your business, you won't like me."
She was stuck for words and didn't know how to refute.
Seeing that she kept silent, Julien suppressed his sadness and chuckled," Now that you dislike me, I'm not afraid to do something that you dislike because the result will be the same. Take a good rest. I will arrange for some people to investigate in the urban village. I will inform you if I get any news."
After he finished speaking, he left the ward.
Hearing his footsteps, Sydney felt angry but could do nothing.
She was angry at Julien's shamelessness and could do nothing for his persistence.
As for him, she didn't know what she could do!
Finn said suddenly, "Alright, they all left.
Only you and I are here."
Hearing his voice, Sydney turned around and asked, "Are you still here?"
Finn had kept silent all the time, so she thought that he had left.
He pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled, "It seems that you don't care about me at all. You even didn't know if I was here or not..."
She felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry. I'm blind, so..."
