Chapter 296


    The police did not say a word but simply ced a letter and a ne in front of Susan.


    Susan pressed her lips and unfolded the letter to read it.


    The letter was very short.


    The handwriting was indeed Jane’s, but it became increasingly blurry towards the end. Evidently, by


    that time, Jane had already taken sleeping pills.


    The letter read: [I’m about to die. I’ve lost my husband and my daughter, and I have a huge debt


    waiting


    for me Living has be meaningless. Farewell, world.]


    Ben also read the letter and furrowed his brow. “There doesn’t seem to be anything suspicious about


    the suicide note.”


    The police officer agreed, saying, “Yes, based on the letter alone, it does seem like a clear case of


    suicide. But the strange thing is, she was clutching this ne in her hand.”


    Susan looked at the ne, her expression slightly dazed.


    The police officer said, “Take a look at this ne.”


    Susan didn’t move. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them again. “No need to look. The


    ne is engraved with the word ‘Sus.’ This ne was a birthday gift from Jane to me in 2013. At


    that time, I had been giving blood continuously for five years, and I didn’t want to be a blood bag


    anymore. I packed my luggage and nned to leave quietly. I had nned for several days to leave on


    my birthday, taking advantage of everyone’s attention being on Yana. But on my birthday, Jane did


    something unprecedented and gave me a gift. It was this ne. My name was also engraved on it. I


    thought perhaps my parents still loved me. From then on, I never thought about escaping again.”


    Later on, she married Ben and didn’t bring anything rted to the Miller family with her.


    This ne remained there.

    The police officer said, “So, this ne was a birthday gift from Jane. The message behind this


    ne seems quite obvious. Jane held onto it before her death, perhaps trying to convey


    something?”


    Susan lowered her gaze. “I don’t know why she did this. But her death has nothing to do with me.”


    “But if Jane was murdered, you do have a strong motive.”


    Susan pressed her lips. “I’ll cooperate with any investigation.”


    Susan’s attitude was good, and the police felt relieved. As someone with her background, if she caused


    trouble, it wouldn’t be easy for them.


    This case was destined to be investigated secretly.


    After all, the King and Queen of Tonico were still in the country. If they used their daughter of being


    a murderer, it would be embarrassing for them.


    Everyone hoped the investigation would not link back to Susan..


    Otherwise, it would be troublesome.


    The questioning ended.


    Ben and Susan returned home.


    Susan’s expression seemed even more distant.


    Ben held her hand. “What’s false cannot be true. Jane’s death originally had nothing to do with


    us.”


    Susan gave a bitter smile, saying, “I’m not worried about that. If I didn’t do it, they can’t fabricate


    evidence out of thin air. I’m just feeling a bit sentimental for a moment.”


    Carl was imprisoned.


    Jane’s death remained unclear.

    Chapter 296


    Yana and the child’s whereabouts were unknown.


    They were once considered her closest family.


    Now, they had fallen into such a situation, making Susan’s emotions understandablyplicated.


    Carl’s imprisonment didn’t stir her emotions too much..


    After all, Carl had tried to kill her first, and his imprisonment was the consequence of thew.


    Susan believed that she had no regrets.


    But Jane died just like that.


    Susan couldn’t remain calm anymore.


    If Jane’s death was a suicide, then she had a connection to it as well since she yed a role in Jane’s


    downfall.


    But if it was a murder, then she had a feeling that the killer might have been after her as well.


    While Jane was disliked, in the eyes of thew, her crime did not warrant death.


    Yet she had died.


    Suddenly, Susan couldn’t find the words to speak, feeling guilty and fretful.


    Seeing Susan like this, Ben couldn’t help butfort her while running his fingers through her hair,


    “Don’t think about it, don’t think about it.”


    The next day, there was a new development.


    Ben and Susan went to the police station again.


    “Mr. Landor, we’re here to inquire about you today.” The chief cut to the chase and ced a photo in


    front of Ben. “Do you recognize this person?”

    Chapter 296


    Ben looked at the photo and furrowed his brows slightly. “I don’t know him.”


    “Although you may not know him, ording to our investigation, he was a security guard under the


    Storm Group.”

    Ben raised his head and realized something.


    “And based on the footage from the vi’s surveince cameras, he entered the vi before Jane died.


    Two hourster, he left. Since then, Jane never left the vi. If Jane was murdered, then he is our


    primary suspect. We immediately started investigating him, but when we found him… he had already


    Ben didn’t know what to say.


    Everything was pieced together.


    Jane couldn’t havemitted suicide.


    She must have been murdered. Her death was nned from the start. It was a setup.


    The setup was for the purpose of targeting him and Susan.


    “Mr. Landor, under the current situation, you and Susan have had conflicts and motives against Jane.


    Not to mention, you both have the ability to carry out such an act. Furthermore, that person didn’t know


    Jane, so why did he need to enter the vi and kill Jane? And why did hemit suicide when we


    found him?”


    The chief sighed, saying, “Mr. Landor, I have to say, your and Ms. Miller’s suspicion is growing. We


    have reason to suspect that you hired someone to kill Jane and make it look like a suicide in an attempt


    to


    cover up your tracks.”


    The police also didn’t want to make such usations, but the existing evidence only pointed to Ben


    and Susan, so they had to specte.


    Ben remained calm. “In reality, if I wanted to take her down, I had the means to make her wish she was


    dead. There was no need to resort to such crude methods.”

    Chapter 296


    The chief forced out a bitter chuckle, saying, “I understand that. But all evidence points in that direction.


    We will have to consider you and Susan as suspects. Mr. Landor, I apologize, but for the next few days,


    we may have to keep you both under surveince. Please stay at home and wait for further


    investigation.”


    The police were just doing their job.


    Ben and Susan didn’t give him a hard time and cooperated, nodding in agreement.


    As he watched Ben and Susan leave, the chief let out another sigh.


    He also believed that Ben and Susan had nothing to do with the case..


    After all, Ben had many ways to deal with Jane without resorting to murder.


    But the evidence was pointing in their direction.


    If the police couldn’t find conclusive evidence to prove their innocence, then this case would be


    troublesome.
