You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 197 John Was Suspected

Noah took the bracelet carefully and looked at it for a while. He found there were words carved on the bracelet.

"Tom, fetch the magnifying glass from the car." They just finished working outside and didn't go back to the police station. Many tools for investigation were in the police car.

While waiting for Tom to take the magnifying glass, Nina also found some clues on the sofa.

There was a large amount of stains on the sofa. Nina leaned over and smelled it. In addition to the bloody smell from Kristina's body, there was also a smell of orange juice.

Then she turned her head to look at the fruit basket on the table. There was an apple that had not been peeled, and a cut orange, half of which was missing.

Nina squatted down and found the other half of the orange at the foot of the table, which had been deformed and become a little dry. It was obvious that the orange juice was squeezed out accidentally.

According to these, Nina roughly guessed that there was a quarrel here at that time. One of them fell on the sofa, whose hand touched and squeezed the orange, and then the orange rolled to the table foot.

"Look, here are traces of fighting. It seems that aunt was struggling here and was subdued by a person stronger than her." Nina pressed down the half orange on the sofa, and the half orange and the stains on the sofa were almost of the same size.

Nina stood up and continued, "You can check the nearby surveillance video to see who came here last night."

Noah shook his head and said, "There is no monitor here. This is a private residence, a little far away from the bustling area. There is no monitor on the road nearby, and there is no monitor at home."

Nina felt disappointed that things would be difficult without the surveillance video.

"Here's the magnifying glass." Tom came in with a magnifying glass and handed it to Noah.

Noah held the magnifying glass in his hand and he could read the words on the bracelet clearly. He read it slowly, "Dray htron ni ul."

"Dray htron ni ul? What does it mean?" Tom frowned and was confused. "It's not smooth at all. It's better to reverse it."

"Reverse?" Noah was wondering if he had made a mistake, so he read it from right to left, "Lu in the north yard."

Nina was shocked.

When she heard the two words "north yard", her face turned pale.

The North Yard was the place where she and John lived.

Her family name was Lu.

"Ninja, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something?" Noticing that there was something wrong with her face, Noah asked with concern.

Tom rubbed his chin and thought. Before Nina could answer, he said. "North yard. That's where Mr. John lives. Everyone in LC City knows that his residence is called the North Yard. As for Lu, it is the surname of Miss Nina, isn't it? Besides, it seems that Mr. John and Miss Nina are... Married."

Tom sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and immediately shut up.

Noah's fingers became slightly cold, and the bracelet in his palm was even colder.

According to these words, the bracelet should not be Kristina's. There was only one possibility. The murderer left the bracelet on the sofa carelessly.

"Ninja..."

"Let me have a look first." Nina took the magnifying glass and bracelet, stiffened.

After careful observation, Nina found that the words carved on the bracelet indeed referred to her and John.

Nina pursed her lips and kept her head clear. "Investigate who the owner of this bracelet is first."

Noah took the bracelet and put it into the evidence bag. "Tom, ask someone to investigate the information about this bracelet immediately. At the same time, find the people who contacted my aunt and met her yesterday. After sorting out the information, go to the hospital to meet me."

"Yes, sir." Tom took the order and left.

Noah turned around and looked at Kristina. Only then did he notice that there were still two traces of tears on her face. Thinking that she had cried before her death, Noah's eyes turned red again.

Noah bent down and held her up. He said in a soft voice, "Auntie, don't worry. I will find out who killed you and bring the murderer to justice. Then I will give you an elaborate funeral."

Nina followed Noah to the hospital.

The dead body of Kristina was pushed into a separate corpse room after being cleaned. It was unusually cold inside.

Noah and Nina walked out of the hospital. Tom was waiting for them in the car.

Noah sat on the driver's seat, and Nina sat on the passenger's seat. Tom was in the back seat. Beside him was a transparent file bag, which contained the information he had just found.

Tom handed the copies of the documents to them.

"I've made a thorough investigation. The shop assistant said that it was Mr. John who bought the bracelet. Mr. John specially asked the shop assistant to engrave the words, saying that it was a gift for someone he liked. I guess this is a gift Mr. John specially bought for Miss Nina."

"What's more, your aunt didn't meet many people yesterday. She only met Miss Nina and Mr. John. I specially went to the Time Group and asked about it. An assistant said that your aunt had stayed in Mr. John's office for about twenty minutes. After she came out, she was in a bad mood and ran into someone when she went downstairs."

"I specially checked the surveillance video to see where she went after leaving the Time Group. It showed that she drove directly back to the West Forest Street."

Tom concluded directly, "According to all the signs and evidence at present, Mr. John is the most suspected."

Nina was reading the information in her hand and hearing Tom's deduction. Everything was related to John. All the evidence showed that John might be the murderer. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Nina looked calm, but in fact, she was impetuous in her heart.

She didn't believe that it had anything to do with John, but the evidence was clear here.

Besides, it was suspicious that John didn't return home last night and that Nina couldn't even get in touch with him.

Until now, Nina received no reply from John.

Nina's mind was in a mess.

She believed that it was impossible for John to do such a thing.

Even if there was a large conflict between John and Kristina, John would not kill her directly.

What he liked most was to play tricks behind others. It was his personality that he would be competitive in business and would not do anything illegal.

"John won't do that." Nina looked at Noah firmly, hoping that he could believe her.

A trace of sadness flashed through Noah's eyes. When it came to John, Nina always seemed to be emotional.

"Miss Nina, Mr. John is your husband. You believe that he didn't do anything wrong, but you are just being emotional. The one who died is Noah's aunt, and he is not emotional at all. How can you..." Tom was a little angry.

Noah immediately stopped Tom. "Tom, what Ninja said makes sense. She knows Mr. John better than anyone else."

Tom shut up and lowered his eyes.

Nina also knew that she shouldn't be emotional, but there was bias in her heart.

'I'm sorry, Noah.'

Her eyes were slightly red. In order to prove John's innocence, she boasted about what she could do for the first time.

"Please give me three days. I just need three days. In three days, I will definitely... I will find out the truth."
