Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

If my words can’t reassure her, I hope the police will be able to give her a more definitive answer.
“Okay.”

If my words can’t reassure her, I hope the police will be able to give her a more definitive answer.

Xavier took out his phone and called James as Winnie wanted.

In no time, the call was connected. Without bothering with pleasantries, Winnie cut straight to the chase.

“Officer Clark, I suspect that the person killed at the school in the mountains that day might possibly be Harold’s substitute. Do you have a way of proving that the dead body currently in your possession is indeed Harold Horton?”

“Why would you suspect that? Did you unearth some new evidence?” James evidently attached great importance to her claim.

Winnie frowned. “I know it’s exceedingly hasty of me to draw such a conclusion, but one’s intuition is incredibly accurate at times. I have such a suspicion because I had a dream last night.”

She then proceeded to narrate the entire dream to the police officer.

James was silent for two seconds before he replied, “Although the dream can’t be used as evidence, we’ll still investigate in this direction. We got a photo of Harold from the man’s subordinate. Mr. Fairchild met Harold previously, so I’ll send the photo over right away. I’d like Mr. Fairchild to help confirm whether the person in the photo is Harold. Then we can use facial reconstruction to see whether the deceased’s countenance matches the photo.”

Winnie gave a firm nod of agreement. “Sure. I think that’s a great idea.”

“In that case, please send the photo over, Officer Clark,” Xavier interjected.

“Okay, I’ve already sent it over. Do have a look.” James’ voice had just rung out when Xavier received a photo on his phone.

Xavier tapped on the picture and scrutinized it for some time. Subsequently, he said to James on the phone with his eyes pinned on Winnie, “Yes, it’s Harold.”
