Chapter 239 Clearing the Murder Suspect

The police officer questioning me got up and left. A few minutes later, I was led into a sealed room.

There was nothing inside, just a narrow bed.

You could probably guess without me saying, I was going to stay here, until the police found Henry’s

body.

I had originally prepared to stay here for 24 hours uninterrupted, but unexpectedly, half an hour later,

the door was suddenly opened. The police outside looked at me and said, “Tabatha, come out.”

I was puzzled and instinctively asked. “Are you going to continue

asking?”

The policeman didn’t say much, he just asked me to leave.

Seeing this, I followed and went out the door.

This time, I wasn’t taken to the interrogation room, but to an office instead, an office I was very familiar

with, it was Captain Lucas’s.

From the moment I entered until now, I hadn’t seen him. Originally, I thought he was in a hurry to find

Henry’s body.

In the office, Captain Lucas was not there. Instead, there was a tall and slender figure standing with his

back to the door in front of his desk. Hearing the noise, the man turned around to look.

Our eyes met, I was taken aback for a moment, but from the beginning, I had somewhat guessed that

the person who would come would be

him.

Walter looked at the police oflicer who had brought me here and said, “You go ahead with your work.”

The policeman nodded, didn’t say much, and left.

Looking at Walter, I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say to him.

He looked at me, his face calm, emotionless, his voice even as he said, “Didn’t scare you, did I?”

I paused for a moment, then shook my head and asked lightly, “What are you doing here?”

“Let me take you home,” he said, smoothly guiding me to sit on the leather sofa in the office. He poured

me a cup of warm water, subtly giving off the impression that this office was his.

Holding the water glass, I took a sip, soothing my dry lips a bit, and said, “I’m involved in a murder

case, I can’t go to see my grandmother for now, you might need to handle it.” I had already promised

the old lady to stay in the old house, if I suddenly disappeared, she would definitely ask. His coming

had something to do with this.

He furrowed his brows slightly, “In your eyes, am I so utilitarian? Couldn’t I have come because I was

worried about you?”

I didn’t expect him to be so blunt. I subconsciously lowered my head to drink water, avoiding his gaze.

It was only a few seconds later that I said, “I’m fine.”

I didn’t look at him, but the office was so quiet that I could clearly hear his helpless sigh. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You really don’t know where the body is?” He spoke, seemingly having adjusted his emotions.

I nodded, “After Henry died, I couldn’t handle the dosage and passed

out.”

He squinted and asked, “Was it Sebastian who hid the body?”

My hand trembled, wanting to deny it, but before I could utter a word, he said, “If he was also involved

in this matter, he couldn’t possibly be completely uninvolved now. Captain Lucas has already sent

someone to find him. What you need to do now is to explain the situation without any reservation.”

I pursed my lips, silently accepting his words in my heart.

He was right, even if I didn’t want to involve Sebastian, the fact that Sebastian had saved me was

already known by everyone. Now, trying to exclude him was simply impossible.

Moreover, at that time, Ashley had hurt herself so badly that she bled and fainted. I was drugged, and

Henry’s adult male body was not moved by anyone. It was impossible to disappear without a trace.

Besides, the crime scene at that time was also dealt with.

Seeing my silence, Walter spoke up, “Do you have any evidence that Ashley drugged you?”

I suddenly looked up at him, my brows furrowed. Was he planning to overturn the case for Ashley?

Seeing my reaction, he looked somewhat helpless and sighed, “As long as you find evidence that she

drugged you, the police can rule out the possibility that you were unable to kill an adult man under the

influence of the drug. Once Henry’s body is found, as long as the body is intact, the medical examiner

can determine his time of death. If his time of death coincides with the time when the drug took effect

on you, then you couldn’t possibly have killed him, and your suspicion of murder will be ruled out.”

I was stunned, completely not expecting this. When Ashley framed me,

the first thing I thought of was how to find evidence of Ashley’s murder, but I overlooked the point of

clearing myself of any suspicion of murder.

Walter’s words jolted me awake. If I had been honest with the police from the beginning, this matter

would have been resolved long ago.

After all this time. Henry’s body…
