Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 771: Chapter 396: Telling the Truth, as Expected (Second Update)

"So does that mean the person selling the kitchen knife must be blamed for a murder? Does that make sense?"

Autumn Stetford snorted coldly, fell silent, and then looked at Peter Grant.

Peter Grant finished reciting the 365 words of the "Celestial Path Scripture of Five Thunders" and came back to his senses.

He still held onto the black and white pearls strung into a Flowing Pearl Chain, and responded to Lawrence Winters’ words, saying, "You don’t need to argue. Yes, the murderer used a kitchen knife to kill, which has nothing to do with the person who sold the knife."

"But what if the person selling the knife committed the murder themselves? Would you still say it has nothing to do with the person who sold the knife?"

"I’m not just saying things without basis. I can feel your aura on this talisman. You put it in there yourself!"

Lawrence Winters flatly denied, "You’re the one talking nonsense. I put it in myself? Where’s the evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Heh, I didn’t see it with my own eyes. But it’s definitely you who put it there." Peter Grant said, then asked Autumn Stetford, "Madam Shen, may I ask if there’s surveillance in your daughter’s room? Let’s see who touched her clothes!"

Autumn Stetford thought for a moment and asked her personal secretary, "Is there surveillance in Betty’s dressing room?"

The personal secretary also had a look of utter disbelief, as many things today defied her understanding.

She paused for a moment before saying, "Yes."

"Is it connected to the network?"

"It is connected, I can view the surveillance from my phone." The personal secretary said, and then opened the app on her phone connected to Ruby Sheldon’s dressing room surveillance.

"Please take a look, this is today’s surveillance playback." She began showing it to everyone.

To allow everyone present to see, Autumn Stetford indicated that it should be put on the large screen mounted on the wall.

Soon, they saw a very luxurious and spacious dressing room, at least fifty square meters.

The surveillance video played quickly at five times speed.

At first, there was nothing unusual.

But when the time approached seven o’clock in the evening, a figure unexpectedly appeared in the dressing room.

They hadn’t seen how the figure got in, it just appeared from nothing.

"Slow it down!" Aiden Sheldon suddenly spoke and stood up.

He stared at the graceful figure on the large screen, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

Because it was surveillance on a large screen, the video clarity wasn’t very high.

Everyone could only see the outline of a silhouetted figure.

The dress on that person was quite distinctive, a retro style that made the waist look particularly slim and the legs particularly long.

It looked just like Lawrence Winters.

She glanced around the dressing room, finally stopping in front of a V-neck lace applique ballet puff dress, raised her hand and pinched her fingers a few times, then folded a talisman into a triangle and placed it inside the rose on the shoulder of the dress.

She then took out a small paper figure, folded it finely, and stuffed it into the hanging rose ribbon of the dress.

After finishing all this, she looked around again and then walked towards the door.

Just as she was about to step out, she suddenly heard a sound from outside the door, stopped, and disappeared from the video!

The gracefully swaying figure disappeared right before everyone’s eyes!

At this point, the dressing room door opened, and Ruby Sheldon and Autumn Stetford’s personal secretary walked in to pick out clothes for Ruby Sheldon.

Autumn Stetford’s personal secretary was so frightened her teeth chattered, she stammered, "...Today...before the evening party started, it was indeed me helping Miss Shen pick clothes, but when we entered the room, we didn’t see anyone inside!"

The video continued to fast forward, time passing to the present, and the dressing room remained as tranquil as before.

The figure they saw before, like a wisp of smoke, disappeared and never appeared again.

Everyone couldn’t help but look at the big screen, then at Lawrence Winters.

As the surveillance video ended, the hall was quiet for a moment. Edward Foster was the first to speak, "There’s no way that was Lawrence, I’ve been with her the whole time!"

Evan Stetford also said, "I too, I saw her with my own eyes right next to me. The person who went to put things in Betty’s dressing room absolutely wasn’t her."

"I also want to believe what you two say." Autumn Stetford said faintly, "But what’s going on with this surveillance video? Could it be that she knows Evil Techniques?"

Peter Grant waved the Flowing Pearl Chain in his hand dismissively, saying, "These little tricks, you’re surprised to see them, thinking it’s impossible, thinking she has an ’alibi’, but for people like us from the Celestial Path Sect, it’s not impossible. Especially for her, she’s already a Great Heavenly Master, doing these little things is a piece of cake!"
