Chapter 461 Investigating Tiffany’s Death
Sean’s respect made Veronica happy. She chatted with Sean for a while before leaving the company. When she reached home, she turned on the computer and checked Hendrey’s surveillance video from when Tiffany died three months ago.
From the surveillance area near Hendrey’s house, Veronica slowly cracked the surveillance video of each place one by one. Veronica found out that Hendrey was not at home the day Tiffany died. Instead, he only went home at 9.00AM. After entering the house, it took less than 20 minutes for him to pack up, change his clothes, and leave with a suitcase.
It was the same clothes he wore when Veronica and Hendrey last met. Veronica retraced Hendrey’s footsteps and found from the surveillance that he did appear near the Dragon’s Creek Villa, but he never went in.
However, the surveillance near the villa only played for a few minutes, and there was no video. Since Hendrey appeared, all the videos were deleted. Veronica tried to restore the deleted video, but it was to no avail.
It had been three months since the videos were deleted, so they could not be retrieved. All the clues stopped here. Tiffany had been buried for several months with no evidence, so an autopsy can’t be performed… Wait, autopsy?
Veronica narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. Caleb handled Tiffany’s case and he was in the Bloomstead Bureau, so he must have an autopsy record at his police station.
Hence, Veronica switched an IP address. Hiding all her browsing traces, she broke into the system and tried to check Tiffany’s autopsy report. However, it showed that there was no such person. Seeing this happen, Veronica was unable to calm down.
Tiffany’s death has too many secrets. At first, Caleb concealed the truth about Tiffany. Matthew didn’t even know about it at all. Now that I think about it, they are not ignorant but deliberately hiding the truth. What happened?
There were no more leads. Veronica leaned on the couch, looked up at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought.
If Tiffany’s death is related to Hendrey, why would Matthew ignore it? Could it be because Tiffany and Xavier kidnapped Matthew, so he turned a deaf ear? It makes sense, right?
“Forget it. I should stop thinking.”
After thinking about it, Veronica didn’t know what the problem was. She then felt that since Tiffany was dead, she didn’t need to hold on to the matter.
She tried to soothe her emotions but couldn’t suppress her deep desire for the truth. She sighed. When she was about to close the computer to rest, she realized it was already 5.00AM.
“It’s this late!”
It seemed that Veronica had investigated Tiffany’s death for a whole night. She took a quick shower and went straight to bed to sleep. She had taken a two-day leave from Sean, so she didn’t have to work the next day.
Although she didn’t have to go to work, she couldn’t escape Crayson’s torture, as the man had come over at 5.30AM to wake her up for training.
Hearing the knock on the door, Veronica got up and opened the door. “Master Crayson, please let me sleep. I just slept for half an hour.”
She begged him pitifully with pleading eyes.
Seeing Veronica’s dark under eyes, messy hair, and pale face, Crayson couldn’t bear to make her train. In the end, he waved his hand. “Okay, I’ll let you rest today. However, you must make up for it tomorrow.”
“Okay, Master. Thank you!”
After Crayson let Veronica go, she closed the door and went back to sleep on the bed.
Ever since she broke up with Matthew, her sleep quality had returned to its previous state, with her having a short sleep time and insomnia.
She had gone to the doctor and had some medicine prescribed, but it had little effect.
Veronica’s cell phone rang at 9.00AM.
Veronica, who was playing with her phone, answered the call. “Crazy?”
“Where are you? Stephen and I have already packed up. Have you decided where to take us?” Larry asked Veronica eagerly.
Meanwhile, their part-time guide, a.k.a. Veronica, was in the toilet. She turned on the loudspeaker on her mobile phone, opened the browser interface, and kept scrolling through the content. “I haven’t decided on it. The weather is good these days; how about taking you to a barbecue?”
“A picnic? Not bad. However, it will be boring with just the three of us.”
“Bring Stephen along, and I’ll invite some friends over. We can go together.”
“I don’t know your friends.”
“After meeting each other, you guys will get along.”
“Okay. I’ll ask for Stephen’s opinion.” Larry ended the call.
Then, Veronica looked at the travel guide of Bloomstead. After reading it, she didn’t think there were any exciting places on it, so she decided to take Larry for a picnic.
Soon, her phone rang again. It was from Larry.
“Stephen agreed. However, we will bring a friend over too. Is that okay?”
“Of course. No problem. Don’t be hasty, though. I’ll send you the location later.”
After Veronica finished talking to Larry, she hung up the phone.
Then, she contacted Monica, Shirley, Skyler, and Caleb to invite them out.
This time, Veronica had an ulterior motive for inviting them.
She invited Skyler in order to make the invitation to Caleb more natural. This way, she could find out something about Tiffany’s death.
For some reason, she desperately wanted to know about Tiffany’s death.
It was as if her death was enchanted, which attracted Veronica to investigate further.
After inviting them, Veronica spoke to Skyler. “Skyler, I have a task for you. First, you must bring Miguel along, but don’t tell him I’m here too.”
Skyler was confused upon hearing that. “But why?”
“It’s because… I met Miguel once and had an argument with him, which made him angry. After thinking about it, I realize I was in the wrong, so I want to take this opportunity to apologize to him. If you let him know I’m there, he definitely won’t come.”
Veronica lied without batting an eyelid.
Skyler believed in the lie. “Okay, easy-peasy. I will invite him.”
“I believe in you. If he’s not here, I won’t be your friend anymore. Also, your idol, Stephen, will be there. If Miguel isn’t there, you are not welcome either.”
As Skyler knew martial arts, it was not surprising that his idol was Stephen Armstrong.
With Stephen around, it was easy to make Skyler help her.
Sure enough, just as Veronica said, Skyler had a gleam in his eyes. He nodded repeatedly and vowed to bring Miguel.
At the same time, Matthew, who was busy working in the Spinfluence Group, received a call from Miguel.
“Matthew, Skyler invited me to have a picnic. Are you going?”
