Stella Grace jumped. She turned around and looked at Jasper Milton.
With one hand in his pocket he stormed up the stairs, glaring at Frederick Addington.
Frederick squinted, and his eyes were full of hatred.
“You can’t make Stella happy,” Frederick said.
Jasper walked up to Stella, put his arms around her waist, and protectively pulled her to his side. “You have no right to judge that. You’re just being a sour grape.”
Frederick gritted his teeth. “I don’t want to argue with you.”
He walked past Jasper and went down the stairs.
Jasper turned around and looked at him. “Mr. Addington, I don’t interfere with my wife’s social circle, but there is a limit to everything. I am willing to use extreme measures to put some ambitious people in their place.”
As he said this, he held Stella tighter.
“Extreme measures?” Frederick smiled. He was not afraid at all. In fact, he sneered at the threat. “You can’t get love through coercion. Stella…”
Frederick looked at Stella. “Don’t forget that you promised to have lunch with me at noon. I will contact you at noon.”
Jasper looked at Stella coldly and frowned. “You’re going to have lunch with him? When did you agree to that? Why do I not know about this?”
Stella blinked and wondered how she should answer him. Before she could respond, Frederick answered for her. “She agreed to it last night.”
Jasper frowned even more tightly. “Did you agree to have dinner with him before or after I proposed?”
Stella knew that Jasper was thinking too much into it.
Did he think that she agreed to have dinner with Frederick because she wanted to develop a relationship with him?
She was not going to take the blame.
Stella told him the truth. “I have something to talk to him about, that’s why I agreed to it. To be exact, he is putting Greg’s case on hold. I had to do what he requested.” She turned to look at Frederick.
However, he had already left. Perhaps he couldn’t stand watching the two of them together.
Jasper looked more at ease now.
“He’s your ex-husband. You’re my wife now, shouldn’t you avoid him? He even tried to make you renounce our marriage.
Stella, I am human, not a God. I have emotions. I am a normal man.
How could you go behind my back and have a meal with another man without my knowledge? How can I not be jealous,” Jasper jealously reprimanded Stella.
She felt embarrassed.
“I know. If he asks me out again, I will turn him down,” Stella promised.
“Will there be another time?” Jasper’s voice became sharp.
Stella was actually touched.
She liked how he valued and cared about her.
“He asked me, I had no say in it. But I will turn him down. Also, I think I have made things clear to him,” Stella explained.
Jasper nodded and did not pester her anymore.
“Get the documents from Greg and get back to base. We don’t have to go out for lunch, there’s food at the base,” Jasper said flippantly.
“Okay.” Stella went to Greg’s office.
She knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Greg was delighted to see her. “Stella, you came on time. Please save me, I have no clue how to handle this case and the deadline is tomorrow.”
Stella walked in and sat in front of Greg. “What did you get from the forensics and police?”
Greg handed the files to Stella.
“Unbelievable,” Greg sighed repeatedly. “When they were collecting the specimens, the evidence was intentionally destroyed. There were very little useful information, they can’t even confirm the time of death.
One thing to note is that the cuts on Tony were neat, they looked like they were done by a machine rather than a human.
Also, the CCTV did not capture the moment Tony left Katty Davis’ room.
Katty said she was very mad at that time. She really wanted to kill Tony but did not have the courage to. She wanted Tony to leave but he refused, he even wanted to have sex with her. Katty got even more pissed and left the room.” Greg adjusted his glasses and scratched his head.
“You said Katty left before Tony?” Stella piped up at that point. “Did she go back to the room after that?”
Greg shook his head. “We saw Katty leave from the CCTV, but we didn’t see her going back to the room. Do you think it’s strange?”
“No. It’s very simple.” It was Jasper’s voice.
Stella turned around and saw Jasper coming in.
“Why are you here?” Stella asked.
“You took too long for a document,” Jasper said confidently.
Stella :”…”
Seeing another big shot coming, Greg immediately nodded.
It was a really glorious moment for him to have two big shots with him in a day.
“What do you mean by that, Chief? Why don’t you think it’s weird?” Greg asked respectfully.
“Tony is strong and he used to be a fan of extreme sports. He was really into parkour and stuff like that. Katty rented a room on the third floor, it’s not hard for someone like him to jump out of the window and leave,” Jasper explained.
Greg finally understood, but he was soon crestfallen again. “Aren’t we back to square one?”
“No, the fact that he was dismembered is a clue. First, there’s the method of disposal of the corpse. Second, this person must have hated Tony a lot.”
Greg interrupted. “Yes, not only was he left in a public toilet, he also had his severed d*ck stuffed into his mouth.”
“Well, it gets easier from there. He had syphilis and had infected many people, the murderer must be a syphilis patient. I think Stella can give you a better explanation.” Jasper turned to Stella.
Greg did the same.
“The murderer did not act alone. They should be a couple. They might not be financially well-off. If they aren’t doing well, the woman will not be Tony’s client, she would be someone who has had a relationship with him once. They must have some cutting equipment with them, which means they may be working in a slaughterhouse. As long as you look for the murderer along these lines, you will find them soon.” Stella said.
