Chapter 442 Can’t Be Her

At that moment, Elise viciously stared into the distance and caught a familiar figure among the crowd surrounding the barricade tape. It was Addison, and she was sporting a vest that was normally worn by witnesses. She was also carrying a stack of books in her arms as she stood on her toes, trying to see what was happening within the tapes. Seeing her, Elise scowled as she clenched her fists. If Addison were to appear in that manner at such a time, the police would definitely take her away. Since she had always been responsible for Elise’s notebook, a simple interrogation in the department could swiftly reach her.

Noticing the change on Elise’s face, Alexander turned to where she was looking and immediately knew what was going on. Remaining composed, he pretended as if he was looking for evidence and slowly faded into the crowd. Very soon, he was already behind Addison, and no one even noticed his presence.

“Why are there so many cops? What’s happening?” Addison muttered to herself. As soon as her words were voiced, her shoulder was grabbed. Subconsciously, she turned around and saw Alexander. “Al—” Before she could finish calling out his name, the man did a shushing gesture, and Addison instantly shut her mouth.

Then, Alexander signaled her with his eyes, asking her not to do anything reckless. With that, she nodded and both of them fled the scene without drawing any attention.

Seeing that, Elise heaved a sigh of relief.

All of a sudden, the forensic officer had come to a result. He walked to Jackson and took off his mask, casually informing, “We suspect they committed suicide with drugs. Possibilities of homicide are eliminated.”

“Suicide?” Jackson expressed his suspicion. “There must have been some kind of mistake. Why would three professors with bright futures suddenly decide to give up on life?”

“I’m gonna need you to trust me on this, Captain Gleeman. Or perhaps you could check it out for yourself.” The forensic officer obviously had his share of temper. He unequipped his gloves and handed them to Jackson.
