My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)

Chapter 1028

The address that Benedict had seen was the address of Walter's house.

As soon as Carol heard that Benedict was Naomi's friend, she immediately regarded him as their

savior.

"Is Miss Naomi alright? It's all our fault that we've dragged Miss Naomi into this!"

Benedict shook his head and reassured her, "She's fine! I'm here to get to the bottom of the situation!

We need to find clues as soon as possible!"

Carol's brain was filled with questions as she said, "I have told you everything I know, though! There

are really no clues to be found!"

After Benedict's confirmation, he was sure that Carol's words were true. She genuinely knew nothing!

In the end, he could only give up.

"Can I go in and have a look at your warehouse? I want to know how the situation in there is. You

haven't moved anything in the warehouse these few days, right?"

"No, we haven't!" Carol shook her head.

"That day, when the police arrived, they told us to lock the door. I've kept the key safely with me these

few days! No one can enter, and nothing has happened inside!"

After that, she went into a room and took the keys.

After that, they opened the door of the warehouse together.

"Take a look! However, I really don't think there are any clues left as the police have already searched

the place!"

Benedict naturally knew that in his heart, but when the situation concerned Naomi, if he did not do

anything, he would not be at ease.

Since he was already at the scene of crime, he would look around carefully. Maybe he could find

something!

However, he had been too optimistic.

After searching for a long time, he still failed to find anything.

Carol also looked disappointed as she added, "I don't know how Walter is doing in the police station!

Although he looks strong, he's actually quite timid. So many days have passed, so he should be

incredibly frightened!"

Benedict looked at Carol's worried face, and could not help but envy Walter in his heart.

Naomi had used to care about him so much in the past!

As he was thinking about that, his gaze landed at a spot on the shelf.

Carol thought that he had found something, therefore she ran over toward him quickly and asked, "Did

you find anything?"

However, when he reached out towards the spot, there was nothing except a bag of flour.

"There's nothing wrong with the flour! I've used it before!"

Benedict did not reply to her but kept asking her questions.

"Madam Lance, you mentioned that the warehouse has been locked for several days?"

"Yes!" Carol nodded. "It has been locked ever since Walter was taken away! Not even a rat was able to © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

escape from the warehouse! What's wrong? Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"No, not at all! I was just asking!" Benedict said.

After he said that, he once again looked at the bag of flour behind him.

"Are these your custom-made bags of flour?"

"Yes!" Carol nodded. She explained, "Our business was good before. If this incident didn't happen, this

batch of flour would have been used up! I don't know if we still have a chance to use them!" "Does it

mean that you've placed the flour here for quite some time?" Benedict asked.

"Yes, maybe a week!"

"What's wrong?" Carol was curious.

"Nothing, I was just worried that the flour might have expired!"

Carol sighed and said, "Whether it expires or not doesn’t matter. I just hope that Walter can be released

as soon as possible!"

Benedict nodded and reassured her by saying, "Yes! He'll be out soon!"

"I hope so too! It's almost time for lunch. You should have some lunch here before you leave!"

Carol's invitation towards him was sincere. If she was someone else, Benedict would probably reject

their request. However, the situation was different!

He accepted her invitation immediately and even took the initiative to help out in the kitchen.

He chatted with Carol as they prepared the dishes.

"Only you and that old woman are at home. It must be hard for you! Did you bring these ingredients

back by yourself?"

"No!" Carol shook her head as she spoke. "My brother, Jonathon, has been here recently.

Fortunately, he was able to help me with some heavy work! He went out and should be back for lunch

in a while!"

Benedict gave a simple hum of acknowledgement and said, "What does Jonathan work as? Is he done

with his work by now?"

Carol immediately said with a proud tone, "Jonathan's different from me. He does computer science!

So, his schedule is flexible."

As they talked, they heard someone talking to Walter's mother outside. It was Carol's younger brother,

Jonathan, who had entered from outside.

Benedict looked at his hand. The next second, he walked over and greeted him.

"Are you Madam Lance's younger brother, Jonathan? Hello!"

Jonathan looked at him with a little curiosity in his eyes.

Benedict pretended that he hadn't seen anything and tried to get close to Jonathan again.

"Madam Lance mentioned that you are in computing science! I also want to take this course in college,

therefore can I ask you some questions about it?"

Jonathan was quiet for a moment, and Carol laughed.

She ushered, "Jonathan, you're not too busy anyways. If you can, help him! Miss Naomi has helped us

a lot, therefore it's only right for us to help her friend out!"

"It's not that I don't want to help, but I've been a little busy recently. I was just about to tell you that I

have a new project! I might be out for a while!"

Carol said with an apologetic face, "That's unfortunate then!"

"If s fine!" Benedict said with a smile. "I was overstepping my boundaries then."

After that, it was time for lunch. Carol was as friendly as ever. She had to take care of Walter's mother

as well as treat Benedict well.

Benedict's eyes were fixed on Jonathan from time to time. Several times, Jonathan was scolded by

Carol because he would drop the food on the table.

In the end, Benedict only ate a little and left.

As soon as he went out, he immediately called Harley.

"Dad, I've found something!"

Harley had just come out of a meeting, only to realize that Benedict was missing. He thought that he

had gone home, but he did not expect to hear an answer like that as soon as he picked up his call.

He frowned and said, "Where did you go? Didn't I tell you to go home?"

"That's not important! I'm at Movida Street now. Call someone to come here immediately. I've found a

suspect!"

"Who is it?" Harley inquired. "What clue did you find? You have to make yourself clear. We can't call the

police there that easily!"

Benedict said angrily, "I didn't find any clues, but I spotted a flaw in the scheme."

"Madam Lance said that she had locked the warehouse for a long time. However, when I entered, I

saw new fingerprints. You should know that the warehouse was covered with flour. If a few days had

passed, the prints wouldn't be so clear without any traces of flour on it. As the suspect entered the

warehouse, he must have left some evidence. However, he took away all of them!"

"In addition, Madam Lance mentioned that he's working in computer science. However, his fingernails

were so long that it'd be impossible for him to type on a keyboard!"

"Isn't that enough to prove that he's lying?"

"What you said makes sense, but we need evidence!" "Evidence? How can there be evidence if the

police aren't here? Jonathan just said he'll be leaving, and it'd be difficult for you to catch him again! If

you don't come now, I'll catch him myself!"

After that, Benedict hung up on the call.
