The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 254 Seeking Help

To Shitstrong, everything Daniel said was nonsense. His attitude irritated Ava. Although she originally didn't believe in religious concepts, the surveillance footage that showcased hard evidence forced her to confront the possibility of their validity.

"Shitstrong, you don't believe in these religious matters, so surely you have your own take on the situation. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the surveillance video Scout sent us," said Ava. She wanted Shitstrong to provide a theory; after all, he was not only a forensic pathologist but also one of the most experienced ones in the department. Among the younger generation of forensic pathologists in America, Shitstrong was top-tier. Thus Ava had complete faith in his professional abilities.

"Sarge, the reason you were deceived by this scumbag, the reason you believed this religious talk, is because of the surveillance video. What if the video is faulty? What if it's been edited? With today's technology, adding such effects to a video isn't difficult, right?"

Shitstrong's words brought a sudden realization to Ava. Yes, it's entirely possible the surveillance video had been edited! After all, the morgue wasn’t exactly a high-security area. Even Ava couldn't guarantee that its security and monitoring systems were impervious to being hacked. Shitstrong's explanation provided Ava with a reason to question Daniel.

Consequently, she turned to Daniel and pressed, "Scumbag, how do you counter Shitstrong’s explanation?"

"It's none of my business! If you don't believe it, then bring Jennflower’s body down from there. These team members of yours are professionally trained; it shouldn't be difficult for them to do so, right?"

Daniel couldn’t be bothered to explain further. Since Ava was so obstinate, he would let the facts speak for themselves.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

This response caused Ava’s eyebrows to furrow. She demanded, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting my team can’t bring down Jennflower’s body?"

"Of course!"

That statement ignited Ava's competitive spirit. She commanded her team, "Get Jennflower’s body down immediately, to show this scumbag that we're not incompetent!"

"Yes, Sarge!"

Upon receiving the order, two team members found a stool, climbed up, and prepared to bring down Jennflower’s body. However, as soon as one team member extended his hand – not even touching Jennflower’s body yet – there was a cracking sound.

Crack!

The stool he was standing on collapsed, sending the team member tumbling down to the floor. He ended up with a gash on his calf from a nail protruding from the broken stool. Although not a deep wound, it bled profusely.

Another team member quickly pulled out bandages from a medical kit they carried and began dressing the injured man's wound.

Daniel, grinning, turned to Ava, "So, Sarge, it’s not so easy to get Jennflower’s body down, is it? Need my help?"

"You? It's just a matter of bringing down a body, why would I need your help? That was just a mishap, the stool broke, that's all! It's not a big deal!"
