Chapter 99:Investigating the Truth (2)
He asked the assistant in the shop, “Is your surveillance system often malfunctioning?”
The assistant shook his head, “It doesn’t malfunction often. It happened once in the spring two years ago, and after it was fixed, it has been working fine until now.”
The assistant called Willis and briefly explained the situation.
Willis sneered.
What was initially just suspicion of someone harming Helena now seemed more certain-someone wanted to harm her.
Destroying the surveillance system was probably to facilitate the elimination of evidence.
Willis said coldly, “Call the Chief , ask him to send someone over immediately, and make sure to uncover the truth as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, Mr. Santana, I’ll make the call right away.”
Willis grunted and hung up the phone.
The assistant looked at Haden and said, “Sir, Mr. Santana has requested the police to be notified. What do you think?”
Haden, with an anxious expression, repeatedly said, “Yes, yes, quickly call the police! No matter who is trying to harm Helena, we must expose them and punish them! It’s terrible, Helena is such a good girl, and they want to harm her!”
The assistant took out his phone and called the Chief.
Not long after, the Chief arranged for the Captain to come over.
Captain, accompanied by his assistant and other team members, arrived at Helena’s workshop on the second floor.
They set up a cordon.
The police personnel, wearing disposable shoe covers, entered the scene.
With a footprint examination light, they investigated footprints at the scene.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Fingerprints were extracted from the doorknob.
Helena’s used cup was sealed in a bag to be taken back to the station for analysis.
Everyone was busy, each working on different aspects of the investigation.
Haden wasn’t idle either.
He instructed his assistant to call all the people from the shop to come over, matching fingerprints and footprints with the police to identify potential suspects.
The longer such cases dragged on, the harder it became to solve them.
He just wanted to crack the case as soon as possible.
To quickly apprehend the culprits who had harmed Helena.
How could someone be so malicious?
His apprentice was so good, so obedient, and yet someone secretly wanted to harm her child!
It was despicable!
Meanwhile, in the hospital, inside the operating room.
A bright shadowless lamp illuminated the entire operating room.
Helena lay weakly on the operating table.
She inhaled the cold air, enduring the pain, and said to the nurse closest to her, “I want to see my husband. There’s something very important I need to tell him. Can you let him in for a moment?”
The nurse wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a towel. “Whatever is so important can wait until after the surgery, okay?”
Helena looked at her with pleading eyes. “I just want to say a few words.”
With a compassionate heart, the nurse sought permission from the lead surgeon.
After receiving approval, she went out to fetch Willis.
Willis changed into protective clothing, underwent a full disinfection, and walked into the operating room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Helena, frail and pale as paper, her fists involuntarily clenched.
Helena turned her head to look at him, took a deep breath, and said, “I had breakfast and dinner at home, and Tim, the servant, brought me lunch. Apart from that, I only drank the flower fruit tea Master gave me. I’ve thought about it for a long time and believe the problem might be with that tea.”
Willis’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Okay, I’ll call Captain to investigate that flower fruit tea right away.”
He turned to leave, striding away hastily.
“Wait!” Helena hurriedly called out.
Willis turned back.
With a pale face, Helena said, “Don’t blame Master. He must have been manipulated by someone. He would never harm me.”
