Chapter 239


    Chapter 239 Clearing the Murder Suspect


    The police officer questioning me got up and left. A few minutester, 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 hourter,


    the door was suddenly opened. The police outside looked at me and said, “Tabatha,e 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 woulde 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 ss, 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 olddy to stay in the old house, if I suddenly disappeared, she would definitely ask. Hising


    had something to do with this.


    He furrowed his brows slightly, “In your eyes, am I so utilitarian? Couldn’t I havee 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 secondster 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.


    “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 bepletely uninvolved now. Captain Lucas has already sent


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


    I pursed my lips, silently epting 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 nning 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,pletely 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.
