Mr. L's DILEMMA: Can't Help Falling In Love With You (BOOK 2)

Chapter 307

Jennie's heart was conflicted. She truly did not know how to console her.

Tzuyu had calmed down once she had finished crying. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her entire body trembled from exhaustion.

“I’m sorry… Can I… Can I water the Japanese banana tree?”

The corners of Tzuyu's eyes were streaked with tears. She mumbled something about the ground near the Japanese banana tree being a mess. Aside from Tzuyu, no one knew that her child was buried under the tree. How could she leave this area dirty?

“Of course!” said the police officer who was busy taking inventory of the scene. He continued, “But I have to remind you that this is a crime scene, Mrs. Manoban. You can’t live here anymore because we’ll have to seal it later.”

Tzuyu nodded. “I know.”

She turned and entered the mansion as she spoke. She came out with a bucket of water to wash her vomit away from the bottom of the Japanese banana tree. She filled another two buckets to water the surrounding plants and flowers as well.

Jennie and Lisa exchanged glances. Lisa whispered, “Tzuyu should live in Upper Mansion. Grandmother needs someone to accompany her too.”

Tzuyu nodded. She turned to the police officer from earlier and said, “I’m going inside to take some of my personal belongings. Is that alright?”

The officer looked at Third Young Master Manoban before he turned to Huai who was beside him. Huai nodded.

The officer said, “Yes, but we’ll have to examine the things you’re taking with you. I’m sorry, Mrs. Manoban. We have to question everyone inside this mansion now, but it’s just a formality.”

Tzuyu nodded. “Understood. I’m going to get my things now.”

During the next few days, everyone in the major crimes department was extremely busy because of this case.

On one hand, Taecyeon held an important position in the government sector. On the other hand, Jae-wook would have insisted that they solved this case as quickly as possible since it had involved the Manoban Family even if Lisa had not pressured them.

They were also in a tight spot because the public was pressuring them. Many people had seen the crime scene online because this program was live streamed at that time.

There were only a few people who had watched the live stream in the first place, but it circulated rapidly throughout the internet once they heard about the murder. Screenshots of the video started popping up everywhere. Fortunately, the members of the Manoban Family took action after that and took down all of them.

However, the bad press surrounding this incident would continue to spread with each passing day should the case was not cracked.

The city leaders even appeared to supervise the solving of the case on their own.

Huai felt very disheartened. There were many strange things about this case that they could not make sense of.

The major crimes department had organized a meeting to discuss this. As Jennie had previously played a big role in solving Sun Xu’s case, Chaeyoung vouched for her right to sit in on the meeting.

Jennie was incredibly touched while Eunwoo could not believe her good fortune.

“Captain Huai, my fellow colleagues, the forensic department has determined that Taecyeon was indeed poisoned to death. The time of his death was 10:28 a.m. that day.
