Chapter 377 The Real Criminal


    Sydney was so angry that sheughed. "I thought she was stung by conscience. It turns out she


    knew she couldn’t hide anymore."


    Julien looked at her and asked, "What are you going to do with her?"


    "There''s no rush. I need to figure out her motives for attacking me." Sydney’s nails dug into her


    palms, and her face was frosty.


    Julien suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "She didn''te clean."


    "She didn''t?" Sydney was surprised.


    Julien rubbed his fingers and showed a murderous look. "Yep, she wouldn''t talk no matter how the


    police interrogated her." Sydney gritted her teeth. "That''s tough of her." "Luke saw her. ording to


    him, there seems to be something supporting her spiritually preventing her froming clean."


    Julien''s thin lips pursed into a line. He didn''t go to visit that woman in the police station, but Zach


    had.


    ording to Zach, the police even tried shining a bright light but still failed to crack the suspect.


    That woman didn''t look tough at all. On the contrary, she was an ordinary and somewhat timid


    woman. Now such a woman was clinging to something and refused to reveal anything.


    Something was holding her back, or else her willpower couldn''t have been so strong.


    "What is that woman called?" Sydney took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.


    Julien looked at her and replied, "Jane Carter."


    That was amonce name.


    "Jane Carter?" Sydney looked confused. Apparently, she had never met or heard of this woman.


    There was no grudge between them. Why did this woman do such a thing to her?


    Was she incited or...


    Sydney was puzzled to no end.


    "I''m going to visit that woman in the police station tomorrow and ask her in person," Sydney said


    with a sullen face.


    She would not settle until she figured out everything!


    Julien was not supportive of her n since


    she hadn''t recovered yet.


    But her determined look made him dismiss the idea of dissuading her.


    The Madden’s house at Eastview Haven.


    rice learned about Jane’s capture and felt antsy. She barely ate anything for supper and went


    back to her room with the excuse of feeling unwell.


    She sat on the edge of the bed, her breathing quick and heavy. Anxiety was visible in her eyes and


    on her face.


    She was scared and afraid that Jane would rat her out.


    She had a deal with Jane. Thetter agreed to receive the police investigation for rice and


    promised that she would not snitch. However, there was no guarantee that Jane would keep her


    words.


    Since the afternoon, she had been on tenterhooks. She was absent-minded when she was going


    shopping with her mother. Right after dinner, she saw the news of Jane''s capture and lost her head.


    She was afraid that the police woulde and take her, the real criminal, away.


    That was right. The real attacker was her rather than Jane.


    She ran across Jane one day before she carried out her n. Aware that Jane was badly in need of


    money to save her son, rice started a conversation and made a deal with Jane. rice gave


    Jane money to treat her son. In exchange, Jane took the rap for her.


    She came up with a n, asking Jane to buy a set of men''s clothes and bring them to the


    department store. At five o''clock in the afternoon, they swap clothes in the restroom. In Jane''s


    clothes, she went to Shallow Bay to remove Sydney''s mole while Jane posed as her and went back


    to the vige in a taxi. After removing Sydney''s mole, rice went to rejoin Jane in the vige and


    got her clothes back. Her n owed its sess to the simr height and weight of Jane and her.


    Otherwise, the police would have noticed the difference between the attacker and the suspect.


    After changing back into her clothes, rice went back to the Madden’s house and snapped the


    stick with which she struck Sydney. With some old clothes, she wrapped them up, put them into a


    ck garbage bag, and threw them away.


    She took the stick back home because if she threw it away at Shallow Bay or the vige, the police


    might find it. Her fingerprints might not have beenpletely cleaned. Once it was found out, her


    n would be for nothing.


    She struck Sydney instead of asking Jane to do it because thetter was timider than her. When


    Jane heard about hitting people, she wouldn''t do it. Unable to convince her, rice had to do it


    herself.


    rice was evil and sophisticated, but she had never really hurt anyone before. She was nervous


    and scared, but for the sake of her future, she bit the bullet. After finishing the job, she was no


    longer scared but worried about being caught.


    As the news had it, Jane was arrested at about four o''clock in the afternoon and several hours from


    now. The police didn''te to her, which meant that Jane didn’t rat her out.


    rice''s worries abated a little.


    She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the night sky, she murmured, "Ms.


    Raines, don''t me me for this. I have to consider my future. It was Mr. Cohen and you who


    brought me to paradise and inspired my ambition. You’re the cause and have yourself to me,


    rice..."


    Nine o''clock the next morning.


    Sydney told Luke to ask for a morning off for her and prepared to visit Jane at the police station.


    Unable to dissuade her, Luke got her a wheelchair and went with her.


    As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, Zach wheeled Julien over.


    Luke stood with arms akimbo and asked," What, you want to go with us?"


    Julien said nonchntly, "Can''t I? I helped to catch the suspect and have the right to be there."


    Luke pouted. "If it were not for that, I would have stopped you."


    "Cut it out, Luke. Let''s go." Unable to see, Sydney groped for Luke, patted his hand, and helplessly


    urged him, "We only have one morning to do this, remember?"


    "Sorry darling, you know, whenever I saw Julien, I couldn’t help judging him. Okay, I''m getting you


    into the car." With that, he took out the keys and opened the car door.


    On the side, Zach coughed to stifle augh and said to Julien, "Mr. Flint, let''s get in the car too."


    Julien hummed in consent but fixed his eyes on Sydney instead of moving.


    Till Luke helped her get into the car, he signaled to Zach to get him into the car.


    Following the front car, the second car arrived at the police station a dozen secondster.

    Luke went in while pushing the wheelchair for Sydney.


    Early on, the police had received a call from Julien and learned about their visit. Without further ado,


    they led them to Jane.


    Jane had been locked up in the interrogation room. The police nned to keep her there for 24


    hours. She was given no food but only water. She was not allowed to sleep, and they shone the


    light on her. The aim was to push her over the edge and make her confess.


    A dozen hours had passed, and Jane''s spirits were visibly drooping. Still, she refused to talk, which


    gave the police a headache.


    After all, they rarely met this kind of tough character. Usually, only those gitious criminals were


    obstinate like this because too many parties and interests were involved.


    This woman, however, was just an ordinary citizen, and the crime shemitted was minor. Her


    obstinacy was indeed intractable.


    "So, you''re Jane!" Sydney was wheeled into the interrogation room by Luke. In a low voice, the


    latter had told her that Jane was standing across the table.
