Elaine stopped in her tracks. As she cursed inwardly, she struggled to sketch a smile. She turned and looked at Nora. She smiled and said, âThatâs right. I was wrong this time. If you hadnât taken the corpse in time, Iâm afraid I would have destroyed the evidence. It was my mistake. I was wrong. Captain Ford, when I get back, Iâll file a report for inspection, all right?â
He was, indeed, an intelligent person.
Nora curved her lips in disdain.
A mistake on the job shouldnât be aggressive, but the nature of Elaineâs error was too perverse. Surely she hadnât discovered the true cause of Hillaryâs death at the time and wanted to hide the fact that she hadnât treated her well. That was why she had put all the blame on Tanya.
How could she forgive such a person?
Nora didnât wait for Morris to speak and said, âCan it really be as simple as losing your job?â
Elaine had already cursed Noraâs ancestors in her heart, but she still looked remorseful. She smiled bitterly and said, âMy medical knowledge is not good enough. I couldnât tell.â
âItâs not that youâre not good at medicine.â
Nora spoke suddenly.
Elaine let out a sigh of relief. She sensed that the other party was still being sensible and knew she should let her keep up her image a little. She was about to smile and accept her thoughts when she heard Noraâs next words. âYou have a bad temper.â
Elaine: â!?!!â
She suddenly looked at Nora. âMiss Smith, I donât understand what you mean. My character is bad because Iâve made a mistake? Can you guarantee that all other autopsy reports have been perfect? Havenât there been errors of judgement since ancient times!â
âI canât.â
Nora calmly replied, âBut it was a deliberate error of judgment.â
Elaine narrowed her eyes. âI donât know what youâre talking about!â
âThen weâll be more direct.â Nora looked at Brenda after saying that.
Brenda: ââ¦â
Alright, since her sister-in-law didnât want to talk, it was her turn. She coughed slightly and said, âYou were eager to close the case and make a profit!â.
Elaine bit her lip. âI admit that I wanted to close the case, but I wonât admit that I was eager to make a profit! I made a mistake on this case, but I didnât do it on purpose!â
âOh?â
Brenda cocked her head to one side. âThen why did you want to cremate the corpse as soon as possible?â.
Elaine: ââ¦Because, since itâs summer now, I was worried that the corpse would start to rot!â
Brenda laughed. âThere are freezers in the morgue.â
Elaine swallowed again. âBut Miss Tanya had already confessed. This case could have been closed. Why would she keep keeping the corpse?â
âYouâre wrong.â
Brendaâs gaze suddenly became suddenly sharp. âThe case had never been solved. You were no longer neglecting your duty. You were desecrating your position! You used your identity to dispose of the body so we wouldnât find anything unusual.â
Elaine still wanted to say something when Brenda suddenly smiled. âOf course, this may not be due to your selfishness. There is another possibility.â
Elaine let out a sigh of relief. âWhat possibility?â
âMaybe youâre in cahoots with the person who poisoned Hillary Jones!â. With that, Brenda suddenly covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised. âAh, I didnât expect you to be a spy for the other side, Elaine.â
With that, she looked at Morris. âCaptain Ford, shouldnât such a person be promptly arrested and properly interrogated? She is too suspicious.â When Morris heard this, he looked at Elaine in a cooperative manner.
Elaine: â!â
The cases handled by the Special Department were all important cases. In fact, Morris had the right to capture her first and report back later! And criminals who could be arrested by it could be interrogated with special methods. It was completely different from other departments.
The moment Elaine thought of the Special Department, she instantly shuddered and shouted, âI didnât do it!â
Brenda stared at her, still smiling. âThen how do you explain that you were in such a rush to burn the evidence?â
How could she explainâ¦
Elaine knew what was important!
Of course, it was looking for profit!
At least that would save her life!
Elaine was forced to admit her mistake. ââ¦I was wrong! I couldnât find the cause of Hillary Jonesâ illness when I treated her. In the end, she died. I did not want to be accused of having poor medical skills. Coincidentally, Miss Tanya had given her a hallucinogen, so I put all the blame on her! I was anxious to burn the corpse because I was afraid Miss Smith would find out something.â
The reporters downstairs were in an uproar.
At that moment, the truth came out.
They all pointed their cameras at Elaine and snapped pictures. Brenda took the opportunity to smile. âDear reporter friends, you can report her for libel, but donât report on our department: we are the department of confidentiality. If we appear in your reports, I will⦠I will seek you all out for a date and tea.â
When he said this, his tone was ambiguous, but everyone understood the threat in his words.
Therefore, all the reporters vowed, âNo, no, we will only clear Miss Tanyaâs name. We will not report her departmentâs case.â
âThatâs fine. Theyâre really a handsome bunch.â
Brendaâs gaze landed on the handsome photographer in the front row. Then she quickly averted her gaze and turned it to Elaine without any qualms. âAnd you, do you know what to do?â.
Elaine: ââ¦What to do?â
Brenda: âJeez, why are you so stupid, how can you have a boyfriend like that? Youâve already admitted your mistake, why donât you hurry up and write a report? Then wait until the superiors take care of this.â
For her actions⦠Sheâd get at least a suspension!
Elaine clenched her fists in anger. In the end, she could only nod. She gritted her teeth and looked at Nora. âOkay, Iâll write a report!â
After the reporters and Elaine left in a hurry, Nora pulled out her phone and glanced at it. Her last message to the other party was, [If anyone on my side loses a single hair, I will make your organization sterile!].
After a minute, the other party sent him another message.
[I have researched what sterility means, but there are no herbs where our organization is located!].
Nora: â?â
Was there something wrong with this personâs brain?
While I was thinking, the other party sent another message. Nora: [You havenât burned the corpse. I finally get it. Youâve been scheming against me all along! You were waiting for me to contact you to take the opportunity to arrest me. Unfortunately, I have a lot of people protecting me. You canât catch me].
Nora narrowed her eyes and typed a reply: [Iâve already caught you.]
