Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 467 – The perpetrator was caught
Hearing Paul’s words, Lucia felt nervous immediately. She listened carefully to their conversation Soon, Paul hung up the phone He was a little surprised and turned to look at Lucia The police said the perpetrator who hit Paula went to the police station and turned himself in.”
Lucia felt also surprised. They left the hospital and went to the police department immediately Lucia saw Officer Rogers standing outside when they reached the police department gate. Officer Rogers explained the situation to them as he was leading them into the police department .
“The perpetrator’s name is Hallie Bruns, 28 years old, with previous convictions for theft. This moming she came to the police department and surrendered, then she told us where the abandoned vehicle was. Finally, our officers found her DNA in that car”.
Hearing that, Lucia felt like she was listening to a stranger’s story. She finally saw the woman with a sallow face sitting in a cell until she was led to the holding cell at the police department The woman had long hair and was dressed in shabby clothes.
She lowered her head and was afraid Officer Rogers said to Lucia and Paul, “She is Hallie Bruns.” Lucia took a deep breath and couldn’t accept it. In her opinion, the criminal suspect was Jeanne, not the woman in front of her whom she had never met before.
Paul didn’t believe it either. He frowned and asked scrupulously, “I remember that
you said you didn’t find the DNA in the car before.”
Not only did the police check that before, but he also sent Gin to check it. The
result was the same The car was clean It looked like the car was cleaned up by
someone, leaving no evidence
Officer Rogers nodded. “Yes, but she said she accidentally scratched her hand
while driving that day. We sent someone to double-check. Then we collected the
residual blood on the inside of the steering wheel and tested the DNA”
Looking at the women in the holding cell, Lucia still didn’t believe it. She took a
deep breath and asked, “Then why would she hit Paula? We don’t know her at
all.”
Officer Rogers said, “She said she stole that car and was going to sell it. Then
she accidentally hit Paula because she was not familiar with driving and
confused the gas pedal with the brake. After that, she fled because she was
scared, and then she was getting scared when she thought of it, so she came
here and turned herself in.”
Hearing that, Lucia denied it subconsciously. “It’s not like that!”
All of this chain of evidence was intact and it all makes sense. But she didn’t
believe that it was just an accident!
In her opinion, this car accident was a conspiracy, a premeditation, and more, a
murder! And this strange woman who suddenly appeared couldn’t be the
murderer
So there was only one possibility left, and that was that this woman was the
scapegoat the killer used to cover up the crime!
Lucia gritted her teeth. She strode to the door of the holding cell and looked at
the woman in it, asking loudly, “Hallie Bruns. were you instructed by someone?
Or were you threatened by someone?”
Hearing that, Hallie Bruns shivered and shook her head immediately. “No. I did it.
I hit her. I didn’t mean to do it! I really
didn’t
She shook her head and said in fear, “The police will finally find me wherever I
flee to. I feel so scared, so I came here to turn myself in. I hit that woman, but I
didn’t mean to do it”
Seeing that, Lucia subconsciously gripped the bars tightly, but she felt there was
nothing she could do about it.
Now, there was a woman who turned herself in, and the evidence was
overwhelming. It means that the case was about to end. But there was always a
sound in her mind, Hallie Bruns was not the real killer!
She believed that the real killer was someone else!
Officer Rogers sent them to the gate. Lucia looked at Paul after Officer Rogers
left. “Paul, do you think she was the real killer?”
Paul shook his head and frowned tightly. “No.”
“Me neither” Lucia clenched her fist. That woman is the scapegoat.”
If the real killer was Jeanne, to clear her name, it was possible for her to do so.
After all, she was so malicious that she didn’t care of others live or die
Paul’s expression changed He said coldly, “Since the police can’t find the real
killer, we’ll do it ourselves”
Lucia turned her head and looked into Paul’s cold eyes. She was a little nervous.
“How do we do?”
Hearing that, Paul turned to look at Lucia and changed his expression back to
normal, saying softly, “Leave it to me You take care of the thing about going
abroad.”
Lucia took a deep breath She didn’t think much of it and nodded her head
Now they had probably decided when they would leave the country, and in a few
days, they would leave Austos City for abroad. So in these last few days, the
most important thing she had to do was to take care of things here.
They separated at the gate of the police department. Paul went to the office to
take care of business while she went to the nearby mall to buy some new clothes
for Bill Mitchell and Elisa Mitchell.
They decided to leave the country in haste, and she didn’t even have time to
inform her parents. Bill Mitchell and Elisa
Mitchell had just had a few days of fun with their grandchildren. Now that she
was suddenly taking Timothy and Janet away, they might not be able to accept it
for a while.
However, they couldn’t delay it because Paula’s situation was not good now
There was nothing she could do about it. She could only make it up to her
parents with something else.
After shopping around, Lucia picked out two outfits. She swiped her card and
went to the men’s section to choose clothes while she was waiting for the
salesperson to pack the clothes.
In the years she had known Paul, she hadn’t seemed to buy him many clothes
Just as she picked out a dark silver-gray shirt and was about to ask the
salesperson to help her pack it, she turned her head and saw Jeanne and Mrs.
Kelly picking out clothes not far away It just so happened that Jeanne also raised
her head. They were both stunned when they found each other.
Instantly, Lucia’s expression changed. She felt disgusted and subconsciously
looked in the other direction
Lucia didn’t expect that she would meet her there
“Mom, look at that shirt, isn’t it nice?”
Jeanne’s voice came behind Lucia. Then the footsteps came closer to her
Before Lucia could do something about it, Jeanine had already come to her with
Mrs Kelly. She grabbed the shirt Lucia picked out just now and showed it to Mrs.
Kelly. “Mom, it’s the one. Does this shirt fit August well?”
“It looks nice. But don’t you come here to buy your dad clothes? Why are you
thinking about August? No wonder people always say the daughter will not think
about their parents anymore after she gets married.”
Jeanne giggled. “I am not!”
Hearing that, Lucia frowned subconsciously and wanted to leave there. But she
was called by Jeanne before she took her first step. “Lucia! You are here! what a
coincidence!”
Lucia turned her head to look at Jeanne coldly and didn’t reply.
Mrs. Kelly frowned immediately when she heard Lucia’s name. She looked Lucia
up and down. “You are Lucia?”
Without hiding anything, Lucia admitted it. “Yeah, I am. What’s up?”
Seemingly because her attitude was too rigid, Mrs. Kelly frowned and her
expression was getting cold.
When Mrs. Kelly wanted to continue to speak something, Jeanna said suddenly,
“Mon, you go pick out a tie for dad. I have something to talk to her about.”
Mrs. Kelly was going to say something. But when she heard Jeanne’s words, she
hesitated for a moment. Finally, she nodded her head and walked away
As soon as Mrs. Kelly left, Jeanne then asked, “I heard that the woman who hit
Paula was caught?”
