On the way to the police station. Aurora had already thought of how to explain. “Go hiking and exercise.”
More than ten years ago, after her mother had just disappeared, the police did not find any useful information. She didn’t think the police could find anything when all the traces had disappeared.
If Aurora told truthfully, the news would leak out. Once Jaxon discovered that something was wrong, her subsequent investigation would be hindered.
As she expected, the policewoman did not doubt anything and relaxed a little. She continued, “Why did you leave the avenue and go to that place?”
Aurora said, “It’s hot. I went to take a rest in the shade.
“You were so close to that place at that time. Didn’t you notice anything wrong? For example, did you smell any strange smell?” The policewoman’s questions were direct. While asking she stared at Aurora, not missing any changes in her expression
Aurora folded her hands and replied calmly. “No. Maybe it’s because I sat on the leeward side.”
The policewoman looked at the policeman who was taking the record.
She asked, “One last question. Do you know the two men?
Aurora pressed her lips and answered honestly, “No. They asked me for directions halfway on Bradley Mountain, and then we separated”
She didn’t even know their names. She only knew that one of them was surnamed Whitaker.
It was not a rare surname,
so she didn’t pay much attention to them.
The interrogation was ended. When the policewoman sent Aurora out, she asked her for her phone number, saying that she might be needed to assist in the following investigation.
Aurora nodded. After leaving her phone number, she left the police station.
Less than ten minutes after Aurora left, the two interrogation rooms next door opened. Dexter and John walked out. The process was the same as Aurora’s, and both of them left their phone numbers before leaving.
The police sat together to review the record.
A policeman said, “Aurora’s father is Jaxon Crawford, the president of Crawford Furniture Company. She is a student of Mereida High School. She is the least suspicious. As she said, she went to Bradley Mountain to exercise.”
The deceased was a man in his fifties or sixties. It was impossible for Aurora, a high school girl, to strangle the man’s neck and remain unharmed.
After learning about Aurora’s identity, some people were surprised but puzzled. “Crawford Furniture Company is a big company in Mereida Why doesn’t she go to a high–end gym but go to Bradley Mountain? She is different from other wealthy ladies”
The policewoman added, “I heard that Aurora has just been back from the rural welfare home by Jaxon. Jaxon’s current wife is his second wife. That woman has a daughter who is about the same age as Aurora, and Aurora is in a somewhat awkward
situation in the Crawford family!
Everyone suddenly realized.

“Jaxon’s first wife was the one who disappeared in Bradley Mountain, right?” An experienced police officer thought of something. When he mentioned Aurora, his tone was a little distressed. “I remember that Jaxon didn’t care much about the disappearan
of his first wife. Could it be that Aurora knew this and went to Bradley Mountain to miss her mother?
Everyone thought it was very possible.
Aurora’s suspicion completely disappeared.
After leaving the police station, Aurora took a taxi to Sunrise Pharmaceuticals R&D Building. Then she immediately devoted herself to researching the medicines.
The medicine she planned to research was for treating hair loss. Many young people were suffering from hair loss. If the medicine was effective, there would definitely be a big market for it.
It was her trump card for the negotiations with Whitaker Group’s hospitals on Tuesday.
Aurora spent the whole afternoon in the laboratory. If she hadnt received Jaxon’s call, she would have forgotten the time.
“Aurora, what did you do?” As soon as the phone was connected, Jaxon’s roar rang in her ears. Without waiting for Aurora to explain, he started to curse her incessantly, speaking so fast that Aurora had no room to explain at all.
Jaxon scolded, “Didn’t I tell you not to hang out with those hooligans? Why don’t you learn to be well–behaved? I don’t expect you to be as excellent as Maura, but can you stop causing trouble for me? I must have owed you a lot in my previous life, and now you’re causing trouble for me.”
Aurora put the phone aside and packed up her equipment, ignoring Jaxon’s scolding.
“Why don’t you speak?” Jaxon had thought Aurora would explain to him in fear. Unexpectedly, she didn’t even speak at all. which made him even angrier.
Aurora turned a deaf ear to him, turned on the faucet to wet the towel, and then slowly wiped the bench.
“Aurora, why don’t you say anything? You become so bold and dare ignore me, Jaxon waited for a while, but there was still no response. “Speak!”
Jaxon was furious, and his angry voice came through the phone with a little distortion.
After wiping the table, Aurora picked up the phone and said in a calm tone with a hint of sarcasm, “Dad, what did you just say?”
His cursing just now was in vain.
Jaxon was in a rage, and he felt dizzy from lack of oxygen because he had just cursed too quickly. He asked, “Where have you been? Did you hear me?”
Aurora said casually, “I’m sorry, Dad. I was busy just now.”
Her apology was insincere.
Jaxon took a deep breath and felt helpless. He felt more and more that Aurora was annoying, “The police just called me. What did you do?”
Aurora replied calmly, Twent to Bradley Mountain for a run and saw a body, so I called the police.”
Jaxon’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, “What were you doing there?”
He thought. Victoria disappeared in Bradley Mountain. Did Aurora discover something?

Aurora picked up the schoolbag hanging on the rack and repeated. “I went there for a run
“Why would you go there to run?” Jaxon didn’t believe her.
“Because it’s free there,” Aurora said.
Jaxon was speechless. “Didn’t I give you 300 thousand dollars and a card? Don’t go there in the future.”
Tve spent all the money Aurora pressed the elevator button and headed to the hotel closest to Sunrise Pharmaceuticals.
Jaxon was angry. “What did you spend your money on? No one can afford to support you. Tell me if you want to buy something in the future, and you must ask for my permission before using it.
Aurora sneered. Maura’s monthly pocket money was 150 thousand dollars. Aurora had been back for so long, and Jaxon had given only her 300 thousand dollars and a card with 30 thousand dollars in it.
Even so, he kept mentioning it from time to time.
Aurora took the room card from the receptionist and said to Jaxon, “Okay, Dad, it’s getting late. I won’t go back and disturb your rest. I will stay outside tonight.”
Her medicine was not finished yet, and she had to continue tomorrow. Crawford Manor was too far away from the company, and she didn’t want to go back.
Jaxon ordered, “No, you have to come back. How can you stay out all night?”
