Chapter 125: Daytime Lady Ghost (Part 2) III
10 minutes later .
Four policemen sat down in the office and compared their findings .
”How confusing . ”
”It's unexpected, isn't it? It doesn't line up . . . ”
An officer picked up a form and browsed through it . He said, ”This is your discovery, eh? It was strange on our side, too . ”
”Did his wife own up?”
”No, but found out about something else . ”
”Don't keep us in suspense . ”
”Simple . The couple isn't on good terms . ”
”What did you guys ask? Why did she even talk about this?”
”She didn't tell us about it, but we could tell . ”
”What did you notice?”
”I can't point it out, but you'll understand if you heard what she said . It's pretty funny and strange at the same time . I'll play the recording so listen for yourselves . ”
He took a recorder out and pressed play .
”Sorry to bring you here at this time and thank you for a.s.sisting with our investigation . We would like to know more about your husband . ”
”Okay . ”
”He did not go to work on June 3 . Why?”
”My tummy was aching so he brought me to a doctor . ”
”Was he acting strangely that day?”
”No . ”
”You didn't notice the dent in your car?”
”I was the one who did that . I wanted to drive but I ended up ramming the car against a curb . Did he do something wrong? Is it serious?”
”We'll answer all your questions later, but for now, please just answer us . We have every reason to suspect that you and your husband are in cahoots,” one officer said, his brows wrinkled .
”Why?”
”We've brought you here to seek evidence, but there's a need for me to tell you what I'm about to say . ” He leaned forward and said earnestly, ”Have you thought it through? Your testimony will influence our verdict . Your husband's already admitted to killing her so why are you still lying? Fabricating lies to mislead us is a serious offense and we have every right to lock you up . ”
”Wait . He killed somebody and even admitted it?”
The officers smiled slightly and one whispered to the other, ”Continue fanning the fire . ”
”Yes, he's admitted to it . We can sue you for obstruction of justice if you keep lying and we can detain you for 10 days . ”
”I've done wrong,” she admitted .
”That's good . Now, be honest with us and be responsible for your words . ”
”Got it . He made me do it . ”
”Your husband? What did he ask you to say?”
”I don't know anything . Will he be sentenced to death? He made me say these . I'm innocent . ”
”Can you tell us everything that had happened? How did he coerce you?
”Who did he murder?”
The officers looked at each other .
She continued, ”A colleague? Did he throw the body into the sea? I know that there's some misunderstanding between him and his colleague . He must've done it . ”
”Sorry, but could you please tell us exactly how he forced you?”
”He a.s.saults me every day . He has a bad temper so I'm not even surprised that he's a murderer . ”
”Your answers are becoming stranger . Is there any conflict between you two? What did he force you to do?”
”He forced me . Yes, he forced me . He told me not to answer anything . I've said everything . I hope he receives the punishment that he deserves . ”
”Alright, moving on . Are you two on good terms?”
”No, we're great . Sir, he should be punished if he did something wrong . It's for his own good . How can he get away with murder? I don't know anything . I'm not working with him . ”
One officer covered his ears and said softly, ”Ask her about the clinic . ”
”You had a tummy ache on the 3rd of June? Which clinic did you visit?”
”I forgot, sorry . He refused to take me to the hospital . There are so many clinics around, I really don't remember which . ”
The other officer added softly, ”There's no point asking further . Is she even his wife? There seems to be a serious feud between them . Did he get cuckolded by her?”
”You said your husband abuses you . Why, then, did he still pick up your call and send you to the clinic?”
”No, no . Sir, he might be ill . Erratic . ”
”But it sounds like the problem is with you . You said he hit you? Any bruises?”
”I told you he's unstable . It's been a while since he hit me . ”
”We're recording your every word . You said he a.s.sault you every day . ”
”Yes, he does, but not with a lot of force so there are no marks . ”
Again, the other officer whispered, ”No point digging further . ”
The investigating officer nodded . ”Thank you for your cooperation . We will process the information you've provided . ”
”Alright . Can I leave now?”
”Oh, can we visit your home tomorrow? We'll need to check your computer for data, and also the car's camera recordings . ”
