Chapter 345 She Directed It
Emelie pushed the two photos forward.
“These two men look familiar. They stopped mest night after <b>work </b>to ask if Skyline Heights was nearby.”
The two officers were unmoved. They produced another photo, showing the two men from surveince footage asking her for directions. “They handed you a phone. They were just asking for directions?”
Emelle nodded. “That’s right.”
“If it was just <b>for </b>directions, why would you all avoid the surveince footage<b>?</b>”
Emelle was taken aback “Avold the surveince <b>footage</b>? I didn’t avoid them. I was heading to the subway station when they stopped me at that corner<b>, </b>so we talked there. It’s not a secluded area. It’s just a few meters from the <b>main </b>road.”
The officers said nothing.
Emelie parsed her lips. “If we were really avoiding the cameras, they wouldn’t <b>have </b>captured us, would they? But they did.
The male officer pointed <b>out</b>, “Although you were captured, the footage isn’t clear, and you seem to have purposely avoided the camera’s view.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
At that point, Emelie understood. “Did these two men assault Elena<b>?</b>”
The male officer said, “We can’t disclose specific details of the case, but these two men have fled. We haven’t caught them.”
Emelle clenched her fist, her heart sinking.
It was no wonder that their questions seemed off.
She looked straight Into their eyes and calmly stated, “Just because I had contact with these two men, you’re suspecting that I hired them to assault Elena?”
Her face paled. How did she get involved in all that?
Emelle straightened up and solemnly dered, “I wasn’t me. I never did anything like that. They just asked me for directions, and the phone they showed me <b>had </b>a map on it. You can zoom into the surveince footage.”
A sh of realization crossed her mind. “The surveince angle didn’t capture the phone screen, did it?”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used her of trying to avoid the cameras on purpose.
The female officer softened her tone upon sensing Emelie’s hostility. “Ms. Hoven, don’t worry. Just answer our questions and cooperate with the investigation.” Emelie wasn’t afraid of having to confront the police. She hadn’t done anything wrong, but she <b>had </b>a hunch that the incident would stick to her and bring her endless troubles.
“It’s true that I did nothing. There were just some misunderstandings between me and Elena, not deep–seated hatred. Why would I go to such lengths in hiring her assaulters over that?”
Yet the police needed evidence. Her dental wasn’t enough. They asked more questions, including the nature of her dispute with Elena and who she had met the night before.
Emelie answered everything while controlling her emotions. She revealed everything she knew without hesitation, even when both questions involved William. After the interrogation, Emelle was told that she couldn’t leave Weston temporarily. She might need to cooperate further and was expected to do so at all times. Emelie didn’t agree. “I’m not a suspect. Why restrict my movements? If you insist, I will notify mywyer
They simply <b>said</b>, “You’re free to hire <b>a </b><bwyer</b>, We’re done with our questioning. You may leave now.”
As soon as Emelie lett the office, she called Ashley.
<b>walking </b>down the corridor, she encountered Elena and Charles, who were <b>also </b>summoned to cooperate with the Investigation
Elena’s pale and listless face filled with agitation upon seeing her. She lunged at Emelie without a word and aimed to p Emelie’s face.
The corridor was narrow, leaving Emelie no room to dodge, just <b>as </b>the p was about tond on her face, Charles grabbed Elena’s arm. “Elenal stop it! This is the police station! Don’t break thew!”
<b>Elena’s </b>tears streamed as she screamed, “Emelle! It was you! You sent your men to… How could you be so vicious? W
s? Why would you do this to me?”
In just one night, Elena had be thoroughly haggard. Her eyes were swollen as she struggled to throw her fists at Emelle, but <b>Charles </b>held her <b>back </b>tightly. Although Emelie <b>knew </b>that Elena wouldn’t listen to a single word she said, she spoke <b>in </b>a serious tone, “Ms. Allen, what happened to <b>you </b>has nothing to do with
The<b>.</b>
Fleis gritted her teeth. “Who else could it be other than you? <b>You </b>hate me because of my rtionship with William, and because <b>I </b>confronted you yesterday, you’ve sent your men to punish me! If it wasn’t you, then how could this be such <b>a </b>coincidence?
“Plus, the two men mocked me for trying to steal someone else’s man. They told me that since I wanted a man so much, they would dly y with me. It’s obvious! The evidence has made it clear enoughs, but you’re still denying the truth<b>!</b>”
