Translator: 549690339

Purple Summers ate her wonton with three toppings leisurely, listened to Marcel finish his tirade of complaints, and then said, “Email me the electronic version of the case files in a bit, try to provide as comprehensive data as possible.”

Marcel:

A moment later, he was on the verge of tears, “Miss, we really can’t go on like this…”

“I know.” Purple Summers was eating wonton, her voice was unclear, “Don’t worry, I don’t intend to become a public enemy, nor am I asking you to agree immediately, let’s take a look at the files first, if it’s worth our time, we can discuss it.”

‘Worth our time’, meaning the case had intriguing inside information worth delving into.

Marcel was filled with bitterness and dilemma, his small firm was busy with daily neighborhood disputes. As a man, he sometimes wished his cousin at the police station would introduce him to some major cases, well now, a major case did come up…

But, this is a case that would incite public temperament…

If people find out he’s defending for the maniac murderer from the torture killing case, perhaps his law office would be smashed the very next day!

“Young lady…” Marcel wanted to struggle a bit more.

“Eating breakfast, let’s talk later. Remember to send over the case files as soon as possible.” Purple Summers finished and hung up the phone.

“What is a case file?” Atra Blanc asked.

“It’s homework.” Purple Summers learned from Alexander to prevaricate, “My classmates and I joined the Detective Society at school. We have a simulated case study. This is our homework.”

“Oh, that’s how it is…” Atra Blanc was not suspicious, she replied, “Grey’s extracurricular activities are quite fulfilling.”

“Yes.” Purple Summers agreed.

After breakfast, Purple Summers returned to her room to check the email.

If Marcel Jefferson hadn’t mentioned Ms. Maple, she wouldn’t even know that the suspect’s last name in this case was Maple.

— Caspian Maple, a single-parent family with his mother’s last name, a 21- year-old college student, was seen taking away the young girl Nana Rowe from the kindergarten gate on November 2nd. On the 6th, Nana Rowe’s body was discovered with her hands and feet bound by a skipping rope, which was confirmed to have been purchased by Caspian Maple on the day of the incident from a supermarket. This was key evidence accusing Caspian Maple.

Caspian Maple’s testimony was thought-provoking. He said that he took Nana Rowe away out of kindness to send her home.

Regarding the skipping rope, Caspian Maple said that he bought it to entertain the child.

Later, the two separated unintentionally. When Caspian Maple was looking for Nana Rowe, he saw a black car taking Nana Rowe away and heading towards Euphony Road. He thought it was Nana Rowe’s family member, so he did not report it and went home directly instead.

Each of Caspian Maple’s testimonies could not stand scrutiny.

If he was really out of kindness and wanted to send Nana Rowe home, he could have easily asked the kindergarten teacher to contact her parents.

Moreover, the route he took with Nana Rowe was not even towards Nana Rowe’s home.

Regarding the black car he mentioned, the police examined the surveillance footage, no black car was driven on Euphony Road during that time interval.

On the prosecution side, the evidence is conclusive, while on the defence side, the testimony is full of holes.

“This case is hopeless…” Purple Summers, looking at this information, mumbled to herself.

At this time, her phone rang again.

Purple Summers answered the call. It was from Aria Jackson.

Turns out Marcel Jefferson, after failing to persuade Purple Summers, called his cousin for help.

“You’re going to defend Caspian Maple?” As soon as the call was answered, Aria Jackson immediately asked her.

Purple Summers, while swiping through documents displayed on her tablet, casually replied, “I haven’t decided yet, I’m looking at the materials.”

Aria Jackson was silent for a while and said, “If you want to deal with Jade Carlson, there will be opportunities in the future. This case is too sensitive, you need to think it through.”

Aria Jackson also disagreed.
