Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 687: 225: The evidence is irrefutable, as if exhausted (second update)
 

A murder case?

Sylvia Thompson’s face turned slightly pale, but she tried to steady her emotions and feigned innocence: “Officer Andrews, did you make a mistake?”

Before Sylvia finished speaking, Maureen Fitzell came over and said: “Officer Andrews, you must be mistaken! How could Sylvia be involved in this murder case? She has always been with me these days.”

Oliver Andrews glanced at Maureen but didn’t say anything.

Ling stepped forward and said, “Ms. Fitzell, we police officers won’t wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad one go. Speaking of which, this case has something to do with you, too. You should also come with us.”

Surprised, Maureen widened her eyes and looked at Ling, “It has something to do with me too?”

“Yes.” Ling nodded.

Maureen asked further, “What does it have to do with me? You don’t suspect me as a criminal, do you?”

For a moment, Maureen felt somewhat afraid,

Not because of guilt, but a very instinctive fear.

Ordinary people would not want to get involved with a murder case.

Ling adjusted her police cap, “You’ll find out when you get to Ms. Fitzell.”

With that, Ling looked at the officers who were restraining Sylvia and her expression instantly changed. “Let’s go!”

Everyone immediately followed Ling’s footsteps.

Maureen also followed them.

She didn’t even have time to change her slippers.

They all got into the police car.

Frowning, Sylvia said, “Officer Kim, Officer Andrews, I know you two have a good relationship with my sister Viola! But you can’t just arrest someone for no reason because of this personal relationship! What you’re doing is illegal! I’ll sue you!”

In Sylvia’s eyes, Oliver Andrews and Ling had come to arrest her because of her sister Viola!

Though Sylvia had done those things, she had left no trace behind!

At this time, Sylvia was like a little clown in front of the police, but who would believe that this innocent-looking, young girl was actually a murderer if not for the solid evidence!

She was too frightening.

Even though she had killed someone, she was able to disguise herself so well that it appeared nothing had happened.

Ling looked at Sylvia, “Sophie Cooper, you know what you’ve done, and we police have already gathered all the evidence! This time, you won’t escape!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Sylvia’s eyes turned red.

But Ling didn’t fall for Sylvia’s act, “You’ll find out when we get to the police station.”

Sylvia continued, “I want to see my lawyer!”

“We’ll help you contact one.”

Maureen wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.

She felt that this matter was complicated.

After all, the police wouldn’t arrest someone for no reason.

Soon, they arrived at the police station.

Sylvia was taken into the interrogation room.

Ling had someone bring out the wig and clothes first. “Sophie Cooper, are these your things?”

“They’re not mine.” Sylvia flatly denied, “I’ve only been living with Maureen for three days and I’ve never seen these things before.”

Unless…

The police could find her fingerprints on those items.

But…was that possible?

Not likely!

If the police wanted to frame her for the crime with just these items, they were utterly delusional.

With that said, Sylvia continued, “Officer Kim, I know you’re eager to solve the case, but these things really have nothing to do with me. Even if you have a good relationship with Viola, you should believe the evidence and not frame innocent people.”

She looked miserable, as if she had been wronged. Anyone who saw her might think she had suffered a great injustice!

“What about these drugs?” Ling pointed to the pile of bottles and asked, “Whose drugs are they?”

Sylvia turned to look and said softly, “They’re mine.”

They were just ordinary vitamin pills and stomach medicine, even if they were hers, the police couldn’t do anything about it.

Ling nodded and asked, “Do you know what side effect would occur if Vitamin C and antacid drugs are taken together?”

Hearing this, Sylvia frowned without showing any emotion.

What did Ling mean?

Did they find something?

Still maintaining her gentle voice, Sylvia looked shocked, “Ah? Would there be any side effects if these two drugs are taken together? I don’t know!”

After all, she wasn’t a professional doctor, and how many people would know this kind of trivia?

“Very good, you’re pretending very well.”

“Pretending?” Sylvia frowned and looked at Ling, “I’m not pretending. Officer Kim, I really don’t understand. Where did I offend you? Why do you always target me? Is it just because you have a good relationship with my sister?”

Ling didn’t respond and instead projected a photo on the screen. The person in the photo was wearing a wig and black clothes and pants.

The photo was taken on the stairs of Building 10.

“Do you know this person?”

Sylvia felt panicked inside, but on the surface, she continued to act as if nothing had happened. She frowned and said, “I don’t know.”

Ling continued, “This person appeared in Building 10 on the day of the crime, and we found her wig at the scene. Also, we found traces of the wig in the deceased’s fingernails. Sophie Cooper, you said you don’t know this person, so I’d like you to explain how this happened.”

As she finished speaking, Ling played the surveillance footage from Maureen’s living room.

The screen stopped at the very moment when Sylvia put on the wig. The camera clearly captured Sylvia’s face.

Sylvia’s face turned white, and she was covered in cold sweat, like a deflated balloon.

What…

What’s going on!

Wasn’t the surveillance camera in Maureen’s house broken?

What should she do now?
