83 Old Friend

Keira’s heart leaped, and she quickly moved toward

the police officer, wanting to hear clearly what he was

saying.

But in the next moment, a hand was extended from beside that police officer, hastily pressing the pause button. A cold rebuke rang out. “The case is unsolved, and no evidence can be revealed in front of the suspect! Have you learned nothing from the police academy?!”

The police officer cleared his throat hastily and said with a wry smile, “I’m sorry, Dr. Sims. I shouldn’t have done that.”

The one who spoke was a female forensic doctor with a serious expression in her eyes that reflected the shroud of peace and security of the nation. She said coldly, “No more mistakes.”

“Yes.”

Only then did the forensic doctor turn her gaze to Keira. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t say a word. She put on her gloves and carried her

toolbox toward the corpse.

Keira was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect it

to be her.

She was Keira’s middle school classmate, and her first

female friend, Holly Sims.

Holly’s family had been forensic doctors for generations. From middle school, she already had a clear life plan, saying that she was born to uphold justice in the world.

The naive words of that time became her lifelong goal.

She attended a vocational school related to her field during high school and at a young age, she had already become a respected forensic doctor.

However…

Keira looked down.

Holly had some misunderstandings about Keira, and judging from her recent actions, it appeared that Holly still held a grudge.

Keira sighed silently.

A few minutes later, after Dr. Sims finished examining

the body, she stood up and pronounced her verdict. “The victim died instantly from a penetrating wound. There are signs of being hit in the chest. The time of death should be…”

She checked the time. “Between thirty to thirty-five

minutes ago.”

The police officer immediately said, “We received the emergency call exactly thirty minutes ago, so, the victim died just as Miss Olsen entered.”

He looked toward Keira. “At present, all evidence points to you, Miss Olsen. As for the voice you mentioned earlier, it could be that the heavy fall of the victim drowned out his cries. You just didn’t hear it. Besides, there is a witness who proved that the victim did speak before you entered the room, so you are now the murder suspect. Please come with us to the police station for further investigation!”

Keira glanced at Holly and didn’t resist. “Okay.”

Seeing her compliance, the police officer walked her, preparing to take her downstairs.
