Chapter 272: Suspecting Him
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Looking at Caroline, who was standing in front of him and asking for information, Principal Brown felt a headache. He advised her tactfully, “The personal information and itinerary of the teaching staff are their personal privacy. Even the school can’t go too far.”
“Don’t worry, Principal,” Caroline promised. “We just want to eliminate their suspicions and see if anyone has been to the planetarium.”
In desperation, Principal Brown handed over the staff’s personal information.
“I hope this information will not appear in other places in other ways.”
This was a warning to them not to let the information leak out. Otherwise, even the Anderson family would be easily sued and cause great trouble.
“We will know our limits.” Caroline came out of the principal’s office with the folder, and she happened to see Jeffrey’s eyes on it. She patted the folder and smiled. “Only the four of us can see this information, so we have to be careful. Otherwise, if it’s leaked, the four of us won’t be able to escape responsibility.”
Caroline’s words dispelled Jeffrey’s thoughts. He smiled and said, “Since it’s such an important thing, we’d better check it quickly and return the information to the Principal to avoid any accidents.”
However, after checking it once, they did find three people who looked similar to the man in black in the surveillance camera. Unfortunately, after combining the surveillance camera and investigation, they were eliminated as suspects.
The three of them did not stay in school for long after school that day and left the school very quickly. Moreover, they all had alibis that night, so the possibility of them being the ones who did it was very small.
This time, the investigation was at a dead end.
Caroline clapped her hands. “It’s so late today. Let’s go. We’ll think about other angles when we get back tonight. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Jeffrey left dejectedly, while Caroline looked at Ken and Morton. The two of them had been with them for the past few days, and they were basically buried in their work, rarely expressing their opinions.
“Tell me, what do you think of the current progress of the investigation?”
The two of them looked at each other. “If we follow the conventional route, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to obtain any useful clues.”
Caroline pondered for a moment. “What if we don’t follow the conventional route?”
“There must be a reason for a person to appear alone to do something,” Ken said. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have avoided the surveillance cameras in the middle of the night and snuck into the planetarium. He even set a fire.”
Morton agreed. “So our suggestion is to investigate from the perspective of why the planetarium was burned. Maybe we can find some useful information.”
Caroline shook her head. “But the police have already gone to the scene of the fire to collect evidence. They also cleaned up the scene, but they didn’t find anything unusual. We can’t start from here.”
Ken lowered his voice. “This is what I said just now. We need to use some unconventional methods.”
The three of them gathered together and whispered something.
Then, Caroline sat back in her seat with some disapproval. “He’s our partner. It’s not good for us to investigate him privately.”
“But we’ve already investigated. He’s the only one who frequents that place, so he should know better than anyone what’s on the top floor of the planetarium.”
“I don’t know,” Ken said confidently. “I suspect that the arsonist might have taken something away before setting the fire. That’s why he’s so persistent in tracking down the arsonist.”
Caroline was in disbelief. “You mean, Jeffrey probably knows the reason why the planetarium caught fire, and he asked me for help because he wants to find that thing through me?”
Ken: “This is just my personal guess. I have a feeling that this young man is hiding something from us, so my opinion is that we must continue to investigate this suspicious man in black on the surface. We can also investigate this young man in private and see why he has been staying in the planetarium for the past two years.”
Caroline was silent for a long time and sighed. “I’ll do as you say. I’ll tell Edwin to send me a few more people. No matter what motive Jeffrey has for going there, since this matter is in my hands, I naturally have to get to the bottom of it.”
After the discussion, the three of them left the music room. Caroline walked at the back.
Before she closed the door, she turned around and glanced at the potted plant hidden behind the curtain on the bay window. There seemed to be a faint red dot on it..
