His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

Chapter 851

Chapter 851

Before they could fully understand this problem, another one cropped up out of nowhere!

Gordon was driving Thaddeus' Rolls-Royce; the couple hurriedly made their way to the police station.

The atmosphere in the car was oppressive, and Aaron's expression was grim. "Why on earth would he get involved in a homicide?" Evadne asked urgently.

"Just last night, we received a report. In a secluded alley on South Harmony Street in the West End, a male body was discovered. He'd been beaten before he died, suffering multiple blunt force injuries and abrasions. He was wearing a Phoenix badge on his chest, and identification confirmed he was a member of the S-Star Group."

Aaron detailed the events with a cool demeanor. "That alley is near a members- only luxury club which is usually deserted during the day. At night, the guests would drive straight to the underground parking, sparing the secluded alley any visit. Consequently, the body was only discovered two days later by an elderly lady collecting trash, by which time it had begun to decompose and was covered in several large rats."

"Aaron, enough!"

Evadne hurriedly gestured for him to stop, her face pale, "Just give us the facts. Let's spare the gruesome details, we've just had lunch!"

Thaddeus, however, was all ears, seemingly intrigued.

"In one word, despite thorough interrogation, Lionel firmly denied killing anyone, claiming he only beat him in a fit of anger. He said when he left, the man was down but still moving and speaking, alive and well."

"Aaron, did the police extract Lionel's DNA from the body during the autopsy?" Thaddeus asked seriously.

Aaron frowned and shook his head, "Not just DNA. But the surveillance footage from the alley entrance captured Lionel dragging the victim into the alley, assaulting him, and then leaving."

"Was the assault captured on video too?" Evadne quickly followed up.

"No, but aside from Lionel and the scavenging lady, no one else entered that area

in the past two days. I'm not in charge of this case, but my colleagues from the technical department said the video wasn't edited, so Lionel's suspicion is quite substantial."

Aaron sighed heavily, "With such solid physical evidence and no witnesses, even if it's manslaughter, Lionel will have to spend the rest of his life behind bars."
