    Chapter 265 Turning Point


    The room I was originally in had air conditioning, but it was turned off directly by someone. The person


    who used to deliver meals on time. hadn’te again in the past few days. Now it’s deep winter.


    Although River City is located in the south, the sub-zero temperatures are still unbearable. I have a fear


    of cold deep in my bones, especially in winter, when my hands and feet are most likely to be icy


    cold.


    A couple of days ago, there was air conditioning, which was quite bearable. But now, without air

    conditioning, it’s truly unbearable.


    Furthermore, they cut off my food and water supply. At first, it was bearable, but two dayster, I


    started to feel dizzy, my limbs stiffened


    directly, due to the panic caused by hunger and thirst.


    I knew they wanted me to confess, but if I did, once the trial began, without any favorable evidence, I


    would have effectively admitted to the charge of murder.


    Thus, I could only bear with it.


    By the third day, I was already parched.


    Once again brought into the interrogation room, I was somewhat dazed. The person in front of me was


    still Hilda Merchant who had interrogated mest time. Looking at me, she squinted her eyes,


    condescendingly said, “Tabatha, have you figured out how to talk to


    me?”


    Looking at her, I didn’t have much strength, only feeling my mouth dry and somewhat hoarse, “What do


    you want me to say?”


    She spoke, “Henry was killed by you, wasn’t he?”

    Looking at her, I didn’t rush to speak. Instead, after a moment, I suddenly chuckled and said, “Ms.


    Merchant, is this what you call, interrogation under duress?”


    She snorted coldly, “A murderer, what, you want to discuss criminalw with me?”


    I chuckled lightly, my voice hoarse, “That’s not the case, but, please, the Conner family can still afford a


    She scoffed, “You threatened me?”


    I shook my head, “No, I’m stating facts. First of all, I said, I didn’t kill Henry. As for why you haven’t


    been able to solve the case until now, isn’t it something you should reflect on? Why haven’t you been


    able to find conclusive evidence, but instead resort to torture to force a confession, trying to make me


    admit to this murder? Based on this, can I say that you are ipetent? Ipetent to the point


    where you can only force me to admit to this crime, just so you can close the case quickly. As for the


    public opinion outside, Ms. Merchant, what’s the difference between you and those who only spread


    rumors on the inte without knowing right from wrong?”


    I wasn’t sure if my words had hit a nerve, but her face turned ashen. She looked at me and said, “Fine,


    if you want to be stubborn, then be stubborn. Let’s see how long you canst.”


    After this brief interrogation, I knew what I was facing. I couldn’t help but want tough. It seemed that


    the world was so big that even in ces with sunlight, there would still be shadows.


    I was in the surveince bureau, I didn’t know what was happening outside. I had exined everything


    to Cory. As for other matters, I couldn’t worry about them even if I wanted to. I knew that if I couldn’t


    find evidence in my favor, I wouldn’t be able to leave here, that was a


    certain fact.

    Lying on the icy cold single bed, my body was freezing and aching. Just when I didn’t know how many


    days I would have to endure like this, I didn’t expect that Captain Lucas woulde.


    When I saw him push the door open, I was slightly taken aback, and he froze too, looking at me,


    frowning, “What’s going on?”


    This question was not directed at me, but at the two guards who had been watching over me. The two


    guards, somewhat guilty, lowered their heads and said, “It was arranged by Nian’s team. They said that


    she needs to suffer a bit to clear her mind, so she can figure out how Henry died!”


    This statement was just short of directly saying the four words, “torture to extract confessions”.


    Captain Lucas’s face was ashen. He paused before saying, “Turn on the air conditioning in the room


    and prepare some food and drinks


    immediately.” After a moment, he added, “First, bring in a ss of water.”


    Afterwards, he walked over to me and looked at me, saying, “Ms. Conner, are you alright?”


    Looking at him, I felt a bit dizzy and shook my head slightly, “I won’t die, Captain Lucas, is it time to file


    the case and go to court?” This matter has been dragged on for so long, it can’t possibly continue like


    this.


    Captain Lucas looked at me, opened his mouth, but didn’t rush to answer me. Instead, he handed me


    the warm water brought in by the guard and said, “You drink some water to warm up first, I apologize to


    you on behalf of the team.”
