Chapter 1031 Dispelling the Fog
Yesterday, Patrick’s vehicle was directly impounded by the police due to drunk driving.
Jane had brought Patrick back using her own car, so today she needed to handle the follow-up matters.
When they arrived at the police station, Jane saw Patrick’s vehicle. As she approached the station, she noticed something off in the reflection on the glass.
She leaned over the glass and observed the situation inside the car. The more she looked, the more uneasy Jane felt.
“This doesn’t seem right. Where did all these bloodstains come from? If it was just a case of drunk driving, there wouldn’t be any bloodstains. Besides, I didn’t see any injuries on Patrick.”
“Could it be that Patrick killed someone? After all, there’s a lipstick mark on her clothes. Is there a connection between the two?”
The more Jane thought about it, the more frightened she became, and a sense of concern arose. She quickly took out her phone and captured all the details inside the car.
She believed that law enforcement officers were likely aware of these circumstances since they were the ones who brought the vehicle back.
Even during the night, they would have been able to see the bloodstains in the car. So, all she had to do was ask the law enforcement officers when the time came.
After taking the photos, Jane no longer hesitated. She went straight to the office of the law enforcement officers.
When she saw the officers, Jane immediately asked about what she had witnessed earlier.
“We have also noticed the situation you mentioned, but we don’t have any other evidence yet to determine what exactly happened.”
“We are currently considering having you tell us about what happened after Patrick returned home. Maybe there are some strange details that can help us analyze the situation.”
Upon hearing that the law enforcement officers were also unaware of the reasons, Jane shook her head in bewilderment.
Jane felt even more perplexed now.
If she knew of anything that could be connected to the bloodstains in the car, she would have told the officers without hesitation.
She believed that the law enforcement officers would handle the matter impartially, especially since these things couldn’t be hidden.
Furthermore, it was Jane who brought Patrick home yesterday, so she also had a certain responsibility.
She had an obligation to cooperate with the law enforcement officers.
“We have discovered a peculiar phenomenon. Initially, we stopped Patrick for drunk driving and conducted a breathalyzer test.”
“From the test, we detected a faint presence of alcohol, but it was not significant. Since Patrick admitted to drunk driving, we had to conduct a blood test.”
As the officer explained the situation, they directly placed a test report in front of Jane.
When Jane saw that the test results showed zero alcohol content, she was stunned.
This meant that there was no trace of alcohol in Patrick’s body, which accounted for the test result.
However, Jane wondered if there had been an error or if something else had caused the misinterpretation of the test data.
“Is there an error in this data? Should Patrick come back to cooperate with you for another blood test? But if we conduct the test today, will it still be effective?”
Jane knew that after a night of alcohol absorption, if a person was still in a drunken state, they might not have sobered up by the next day.
And if someone had a good physical condition and hadn’t consumed a significant amount of alcohol, conducting the test again today might not yield a high alcohol content, rendering it inconclusive.
So, she questioned the law enforcement officers about whether this course of action was necessary.
Instead of making a definitive decision on how to proceed, the officers looked at Jane and directly informed her.
“There’s no need. We still have all the data, including the blood samples, and the hospital even called us after completing the test.”
The law enforcement officers told Jane that the hospital personnel were also perplexed by the situation. Since someone had voluntarily admitted to drunk driving, they had to retest when the blood sample showed zero alcohol content. However, even the second test yielded the same result, which led them to consult the law enforcement officers for guidance.
When the officers arrived at the scene, they conducted a third round of testing with witnesses present, and the result remained the same. There was still a small amount of the blood sample remaining at the hospital.
“Now we can conclude that Patrick did not engage in drunk driving, so it’s highly likely that there’s a special reason behind her claim.”
“If that’s the case, the use of this strategy is not surprising. However, he still violated the law and will face consequences.”
The officers felt somewhat frustrated. They had received numerous calls from friends yesterday, trivializing a significant issue. Now, holding this test report made them feel like they were being played. Although they had explained it to some friends over the phone, they couldn’t directly tell Jane about it because it would be embarrassing for them.
“You can also think about why Patrick pretended to be drunk driving. If you can figure it out, perhaps you’ll find the answer.”
“Now, the remaining task is to complete your part first. If there are any further issues, we will naturally approach Patrick.”
The officers didn’t want Jane to continue being involved. They had already understood that it was likely a conflict between Patrick and Jane that led to this ruse. They didn’t want to be foolishly entangled in it any further. The best approach was to have Jane complete the necessary procedures, and the rest would be unrelated to the outcome.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
As for the bloodstains inside the car, once Patrick arrived, they would have the answers. Even if Patrick didn’t speak, they could examine the preserved samples and photos to determine what had happened.
“Do I need to cooperate with anything else after signing these documents? Regarding the bloodstains in the car, can you give me a call when there’s a result?”
Jane reluctantly asked this question. When the officers nodded, she signed the documents on several file records.
After signing, Jane left the office of the law enforcement officers.
She felt a sense of confusion now, unsure how to handle these matters. However, she had understood why Patrick had used this ruse.
