Now surveillance is the most advantageous evidence.

If the surveillance footage from Maureen Fitzell’s house can prove that Sylvia Thompson disguised herself and left the Fragrant Gardan Community, and then came to the Imperial Court Apartments, everything can be deduced according to Viola Thompson’s insight, and the truth will be revealed!

Then, Edward Thompson can be exonerated and released without any charges.

But now.

Merely having those pieces of evidence is not enough to directly prove that the murderer is Sylvia Thompson.

After all.

The most critical evidence, Sylvia Thompson’s fingerprints, have not been collected.

Ling was very frustrated.

It is indeed a difficult feeling to know that the person is a criminal but not being able to bring her to justice.

Especially when seeing Sylvia Thompson garnering public sympathy on Facebook.

Mrs. Thompson was the first person to see Sylvia Thompson’s video, and she was so angry that she wanted to post a video to fight back immediately.

Viola Thompson stopped her at this time.

“Grandma, calm down.”

“It’s too late for me to calm down!” Mrs. Thompson’s face was full of anger. “Sophie Cooper is too disgusting! I want to crush her!”

Viola Thompson spoke calmly, “Grandma, what she is looking forward to the most now is for you to post a video responding to her because this way, she will gain more attention. Moreover, if we rush to post a response video, it will definitely give the public a sense of guilt – since we haven’t done anything wrong, why do we need to respond to Sylvia Thompson so quickly? Would a person bite a dog back just because a dog bit them?”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson frowned slightly, and it seemed to make sense. But does this mean they will simply watch as Sylvia Thompson distorts the truth, and they do nothing?

No!

It won’t work!

They absolutely cannot sit back and wait for their doom.

Viola Thompson raised her lips slightly, her mouth corners showing a light dimple, “Grandma, we must trust the police’s power.”

Only when Sylvia Thompson’s guilt is truly proven is the best response!

Mrs. Thompson sighed, “I don’t know when the police can find the evidence and bring Sophie Cooper to justice!”

“Don’t worry,” Viola Thompson’s lips lightly parted, “the clouds will clear eventually.”

Mrs. Thompson nodded.

After accompanying Mrs. Thompson for a walk in the garden, Viola Thompson went to the police station to continue repairing the memory card.

She sat in front of the computer desk.

Her back was very straight.

The light from the computer screen reflected on her face, as if coated with a shallow layer of radiance.

When Ling and Oliver Andrews learned that Viola Thompson had arrived, they also went to the office.

Ling handed Viola Thompson a document, “Miss Thompson, we have collected all the evidence. With the photos Afra Gracen saw and took, now we only need one piece of evidence that can confirm Sylvia Thompson’s identity to establish her guilt.”

“Hmm.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, “Give me a little more time.”

Actually, the surveillance cameras in Maureen Fitzell’s house were completely fine. What was really broken was the display screen and the memory card on the monitor.

That is to say.

As long as the memory card is completely repaired, the video at the time can be restored.

However, the memory card was thoroughly damaged, and fixing it would not be an easy task.

Time passed minute by minute.

Ling kept coming and going, delivering lunch and afternoon tea, and finally even brought dinner.

But there was still no movement from the memory card.

Ling was worried.

If the memory card cannot be repaired, they can only look for other evidence.

Reasonably speaking, as long as they know that the murderer is Sylvia Thompson, it should not be difficult to find more convincing evidence.

Oliver Andrews was also anxious.

“Has there been any progress from Miss Thompson?”

Ling shook her head.

Oliver Andrews frowned slightly, “Did you ask Miss Thompson if she needs any help? If necessary, we can transfer a couple of people from the technical department.”

“I’ve asked, and Miss Thompson said she doesn’t need it.”

At that moment.

A surprised voice came from the office, “It worked! It worked!”

“Miss Thompson, you are amazing!”

Hearing this, Ling and Oliver Andrews looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise, and then they both ran into the office.

On the computer screen in front of Viola Thompson, surveillance footage was playing.

The surveillance background was Maureen Fitzell’s living room.

“Miss Thompson, did you fix the memory card?” Ling asked excitedly.

Viola Thompson nodded slightly, her face showing no special expression, as if this was not something worth bragging about, “Yes, I am looking for the surveillance from the night before last.”

In fact, Viola Thompson didn’t treat this as a big deal.

“Is it easy to find?” Ling asked.

“It’s easy to find.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly.

Soon, Viola Thompson found the surveillance video for the 18th at 6 pm.

The surveillance footage showed Sylvia Thompson happily chatting with Maureen Fitzell.

The two were having a great conversation.

Before long.

Sylvia Thompson brought over a glass of juice, “Maureen, didn’t you say you were thirsty? Here, drink some iced juice.”

“Thank you.” Maureen took the glass and took a sip, then looked confused, “Why does this juice taste a bit strange?”

“Strange?” Sylvia Thompson picked up her own glass and took a sip, laughing, “It doesn’t taste strange at all. It’s a mixed fruit juice. Maybe you’re just not used to the flavor.”

Maureen didn’t say anything else and finished the juice in one go.

After finishing the juice, Maureen continued to chat with Sylvia Thompson, but as they talked, Maureen’s expression became strange, and her head tilted on the sofa, falling asleep.

But, it was more like she was passed out rather than asleep.

As expected, just like Viola Thompson had said.

Sylvia Thompson had put the drug in the juice and tricked Maureen into drinking it.

Seeing Maureen passed out, Sylvia Thompson turned and went back to her room.

When she came out again.

She looked like a completely different person, wearing a black long coat and trousers, her hair tied up, and she was putting on a wig as she walked.

Viola Thompson paused the video.

“It really is her! I knew it had to be her!” Ling was extremely excited and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, “Little Sun, get the team together in five minutes!”

Half an hour later, as Maureen and Sylvia Thompson were sitting at home watching TV, they heard the sound of police sirens coming from outside the window.

Urgent and never ending.

It made people anxious.

“What’s going on?” Maureen went to the window and looked outside, exclaiming, “There are so many police cars.”

More than a dozen police cars surrounded their building.

Sylvia Thompson didn’t take this matter seriously, “Maybe something big happened.”

She had no idea that these police cars were here to arrest her.

After all.

What she had done left no trace.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Maureen went to open it.

Oliver Andrews and Ling, dressed in uniforms, walked in first.

Oliver Andrews showed his police badge and arrest warrant, “Sorry, we need your cooperation. The police are investigating a case.”

After finishing his sentence, several policemen entered the room one by one, and walked directly to Sylvia Thompson. They controlled her on both sides almost before she could react.

Click.

The cold handcuffs were locked onto Sylvia Thompson’s wrists.

Oliver Andrews walked in front of Sylvia Thompson, “Sophie Cooper, you are now suspected of a premeditated murder case. Please come with us!”
