The judge turned to Purple Summers: “The defense paralegal may proceed.”
Jade Carlson watched in awe as Purple Summers slowly rose to her feet, elegant as an orchid.
Purple had not even started to speak, but Jade felt a surge of terror. She was struck with a feeling of fear!
She felt that once Summers started to talk, she would be doomed, utterly done! Irretrievable!
“Your Honor, just a minute ago, we received a message from the police station.”
Purple Summers smiled, her gaze was calm and gentle, like the cerulean sea, her voice soft and soothing: “The police just found out that Jared Curtis had borrowed his landlord’s car, which happens to be black. Due to the landlord’s insistence, the car was returned on the 3rd of this month, and we request the court to immediately arrest Curtis and perform an urgent hair sampling investigation on the car.”
After Summers finished her statement, the courtroom erupted!
Caspian Maple had reported seeing a black car driving Nana Rowe away, this security guard happened to have borrowed a black car, what does this imply?! Caspian Maple was not lying!
And the foolish Jade Carlson, she was using the real killer as a witness!
The judge repeatedly struck the gavel, but the sound was drowned amidst the uproar, everyone was shocked.
At this moment, the witness, Jared Curtis, suddenly acted out. He darted out from the witness stand, trying to escape!
The bailiff swiftly stepped forward, pinning Curtis to the ground!
The spectators were in uproar!
Countless camera lenses were instantly pointed at Jared Curtis, some reporters even disregarded courtroom order, rushing forward, just to get a closer shot of the true culprit’s face!
This was a stunning reversal!
Not only were suspicions against Caspian Maple cleared, but the real culprit was also apprehended! There has never been a public hearing more exciting than today’s court hearing!
Several meticulous media outlets quietly pointed their lenses towards Jade Carlson, capturing her devastated expression…
Marcel Jefferson returned to his seat, still startled but overjoyed at the turn of events.
“Did Cousin find out about this? The news came just in time!”
Summers flashed a faint smile, “As soon as I knew something was off with the surveillance video, I asked her to investigate; it was just very tight on time, we just got the news.”
A security guard’s salary isn’t high, the possibility of owning a car is very low, if they need to borrow one, it would certainly be from someone they have a close relationship with.
So, they investigated the factory workers, as well as the two securities’ relatives and friends. However, Curtis seldom communicated with the factory workers and had no relatives or friends in Clearwater City. Aria Jackson’s investigation hit a bottleneck, but inadvertently found out about Jared Curtis’s landlord, who happened to own a black car, that had been borrowed by Curtis more than once.
Jackson analyzed that whenever Curtis had intentions to commit a crime, he would borrow the car and go out to find suitable victims.
As the truth unfolded, Caspian Maple sat in the defendant’s seat, a dazed expression on his face, while his mother was unable to contain her excitement, she ran down from the observers’ gallery, embracing her son, crying with joy.
The judge announced the immediate arrest of Jared Curtis, and after conducting a hair-sample investigation, the final verdict would be delivered.
Even though it was said that they would adjudicate again, everyone knew that the moment Curtis attempted to escape out of guilt, the real perpetrator of the serial murders had been identified.
After the hearing ended, reporters swarmed the courthouse, blocking the door.
Someone asked Caspian Maple about his feelings of being exonerated.
Caspian Maple paused for a while, shedding tears of regret in front of the camera: “I deeply regret… If I hadn’t taken her away, she wouldn’t have encountered the murderer… I apologize, really… I’m sorry…”
Nana Rowe’s mother collapsed, weeping in the midst of the crowd, eventually fainting.
In the chaos, Purple Summers quietly slipped away, heading straight to the bathroom.
She removed her suit, put back on her school uniform, washed off her makeup, let down her hair, and once again became a pure and innocent schoolgirl.
Today is Friday, she only took a half-day leave, if she hurried, she could still make it to class.
Just as she was about to leave, her way was blocked.
The one blocking her was none other than Jade Carlson.
