Chapter 282
Gabriel stood before Violet in a protective state as he looked at Patrick in disdain and snorted.
Violet lowered her head and stood behind Gabriel. No one knew what she was thinking.
In Patrick's eyes, this scene looked as if Violet was treating Gabriel as a protection.
His expression was dark, and his chest heaved slightly.
At this moment, someone kept pushing toward the door.
The person in charge of the hotel looked at everyone apologetically, but his voice was unquestionable. “You can’t enter the scene now. We've already called the police. The police won't allow the scene to be destroyed. Everyone should do their duty as citizens and not cause trouble!”
When everyone heard this, they knew that the police were coming later, so they stopped squeezing and just looked around curiously.
When the crowd was squeezing just now, someone bumped into Violet.
Gabriel stretched out his hands and protected Violet in front of him and the wall.
This behavior was obviously a little ambiguous.
However, Violet was depressed. She lowered his head as if thinking about something and did not notice Gabriel’s actions. When Patrick saw this scene, he was furious. In the end, he could not help but explode. He walked over and pulled Gabriel away. He reached out and grabbed Violet’s shoulder. He gritted his teeth and said, “Violet, come with me. | have something to tell you!”
Gabriel was furious when Patrick suddenly pulled her away. He grabbed Patrick’s wrist, which was pinching Violet’s shoulder. “Let go of her!”
Patrick looked at Gabriel with a dark expression. “Gabriel, I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”
Gabriel sneered with an evil expression. “Is that so? That’s good. I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”
The two of them were at daggers drawn at the slightest disagreement, looking like they were about to fight. Moreover, it was at a scene where there was a murder.
Violet quickly said, “Don’t do this!”

“Don’t do what?”
Patrick and Gabriel spoke at the same time. However, one’s tone was extremely aggressive, and his anger soared to the sky. The other had a careless smile as if he was unafraid of anything.
Violet frowned. “Gabriel, wait here for a moment. | have something to tell Mr. Hersey first!”
When Gabriel heard Violet's words, his expression turned ugly. However, even so, he did not refute Violet.
Apart from his mother, Violet was the first person who dared to step forward and save him in a dangerous situation. She was different from other women. Gabriel respected her very much.
He looked at Patrick and snorted coldly. “Remember, I’m doing this for Violet’s sake! | de want to:

In the end, Patrick did not even look at him. He directly pulled Violet's arm and through the crowd to an empty place on the other side of the corridor.
pushed
Violet lowered her voice and said, “What are you trying to say? In this situation, | will definitely cooperate with the investigation later. None of us can leave!”
Patrick’s face darkened as he looked straight at Violet. His tone was a little jealous. “What’s your relationship with Gabriel?” Violet was a little puzzled. “We're just friends!”
“He’s so protective of you because you are friends?” Patrick’s attitude was a little. aggressive.
After he finished speaking, he saw that Violet’s expression was a little ugly. He immediately realized that Violet was angry.
His expression changed again and again. “I didn’t mean that. | just hope that you stay away from Gabriel!”
Violet looked at Patrick with a complicated expression.
No matter how she looked at it, his reaction suggested he was jealous. However, when she thought about asking him if he liked her in the room earlier, his direct and quick reaction made her feel a little uncertain.
At the thought of this, she said coldly, “Mr. Hersey, as an opposite sex, of course, I'll keep a distance from Gabriel. But he’s my friend. | can’t ignore him just because of such a childish sentence. Besides, who are you to me to ask me to stay away from other

males?”
Patrick seemed to be stumped. His body was stiff, and his handsome face gloomy like the sky before a rain.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “The police are here!”
Violet looked at Patrick indifferently. Her attitude seemed to be gentle. She coaxed Patrick. “Mr. Hersey, stop throwing a tantrum. Let's settle the matter at hand first!”
When he heard Violet call him Mr. Hersey with a gentle attitude, he was really angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing Violet walking toward the police officers, his eyes darkened, and he strode over.
Not only were the police here, but there was also an experienced forensic doctor.
The other party entered the crime scene and began the autopsy. Everyone waited. eagerly for the conclusion.
Not long after, the forensic doctor came out and looked at Nathan. “The preliminary confirmation is that she was poisoned with volatile nerve disinfectant. | checked the room and guessed that there were two possibilities. One is that there’s something wrong with the perfume the deceased carried with her. She directly sprayed the poison on her body, causing death. The other possibility is that the poison was stored in the mosquito repellent vaporizer in the room. After being plugged in, it evaporated. The deceased ingested it into her body through breathing and eventually caused death. I’ve sent both of these things to be checked. There should be results in two hours!”
Violet's pupils constricted when she heard the forensic doctor mention the mosquito repellent vaporizer. She instantly thought of Ellie’s plan.
She recalled that Patrick had said that the other party might be here for her. Furthermore, Rebecca had died in her room. She was 80% sure that the other most likely the person behind Ellie, who had planned this.

was
She hesitated, unsure if she should say what she had been guessing aloud.
Patrick saw the change in her expression and held her hand. He whispered, “Don’t be afraid. The truth will be found!”
The police began to investigate. He also sent people to investigate. Not only did he ask Nelson to take some of the ingredients of the mosquito repellent vaporizer before sealing the scene, but he had also arranged for people to investigate Ellie’s traces after leaving the country.
Previously, Ellie had shamelessly given Rebecca this idea. Now that this matter had

happened, even if Ellie did not do it, she should know something about the plan and the poison.
Rebecca probably never thought that she would die from the poison that Ellie had mentioned.
On the other end, after Nathan finished talking to the forensic doctor, he learned about the general situation of the case from the hotel manager. Then, he turned to look at everyone with a piercing gaze. “Who's Violet?”
Violet's face was a little pale. She calmly took a step forward. “It’s me!”
Nathan stared at Violet sharply. “This is your room?”
Violet nodded. “Yes, it's my room!”
Nathan continued, “Before the victim died, you were in Gabe’s room for some time. However, when you left Gabe’s room, where did you go? Do you have any relevant alibi?”
Gabe was Ellie's assistant. The police officer had just asked her, and her entire body was still trembling as tears strolled down her cheeks.
Just as Violet was about to speak, Patrick took a step forward with a gloomy expression and blocked Violet behind him. He said in a low voice, “She was with me at that time!”
Nathan couldn’t help but frown when he saw the person who didn’t ask a question and took the initiative to answer.
His expression was stern. “The entire case started because of your ambiguous relationship with Violet. Your testimony could not be taken fully as an alibi!”
