Chapter 262 The Crime was Confirmed

I propped my chin and watched her suppressed anger and fear, laughing, “You know he was nice to me

because of the favor he owed me from the past, right? What about you? Why was he nice to you for

the past five years? Because he loves you? Do you believe that if you say it out loud? Ashley, you’ve

just been taking advantage of him for a few years and you really think Walter is nice to you because he

loves you? If he really loved you, with your understanding of him, you’ve been in here for so long, why

hasn’t he come to see you even once?”

She was mute, but her face was full of defiance.

I shook the bracelet in my hand, smiled faintly, “See this? This was

given by the grandmother of the Hinton family. Only when approved by Walter and the old lady, would it

be passed on to the

granddaughter-in-law. Ashley, you, are destined not to own it in this

lifetime.”

“Tabatha!” Enraged by me, Ashley suddenly stood up, crazily wielding a chair and hurling it at me,

roaring, “I won’t let you off easily, you’ll never leave this place in your lifetime, I want you to stay here

forever, even if I die, I’ll drag you down to hell with me.”

She went into a frenzy, but fortunately, the police outside reacted quickly and came in to restrain her in

no time.

As she was being taken away, she glared at me fiercely and said angrily, “Tabatha, what good will it do

if Walter saves you? It was you who were stupid enough to hide Henry’s body. By now, all the evidence

has been destroyed. Prepare to rot in this cell, no one can save you, no one!”

She was taken away, and I stood there, lost in thought.

Was all the evidence destroyed?

So, there was evidence to prove that I didn’t kill Henry?

Could this be the reason why Ashley, who clearly knew from the start that Henry was dead and that I

had hidden his body, didn’t say anything at all?

Was she buying time to destroy evidence?

Did someone help her?

Thinking of this, I looked at Captain Lucas who walked in and said, “Captain Lucas, may I ask you a

favor?”

The conversation I just had with Ashley, he saw it all through the surveillance. Seeing me open my

mouth, he nodded, “You speak!”

“You mentioned before, someone had visited Ashley before she reported me. Can you help me find

that person?” Ashley had been inactive before, but suddenly reported me after meeting someone,

indicating that this matter must be related to that person.

Captain Lucas furrowed his brows slightly, pondered for a moment and said, “Are you referring to the

man named Robinson?”

I didn’t know this man, but he had come to the police station to see Ashley, so his name would have

been registered. I nodded, “Hmm!”

Captain Lucas nodded, paused, and said, “I had someone look into this man, and found out that he’s

not from our country. Moreover, after visiting Ashley, he left the country again. Currently, we have no

way –of tracking his whereabouts!”

“Not in the country!” I was astonished, “Did you inquire about his movements in the country before?”

Captain Lucas shook his head, “It seems that this man went straight to the police station to see Ashley

after he entered the country. After seeing her, he left. Later, I asked Ashley about her relationship with

this man. She said he was a friend she and Henry met abroad. He came to our country for business

and took the opportunity to visit her.”

I frowned and fell silent. Ashley’s words were not unreasonable. She and Henry had been abroad for

so many years, it was normal for them to have some foreign friends. It was also understandable if

these friends came to visit her while they were in the country for business.

Seeing my silence, Captain Lucas sighed slightly, “Regarding Henry’s death, you and Ashley have

different stories, especially you. Unless you have sufficient convincing evidence to prove that you didn’t

kill him, you will be deemed guilty of murder.”

He spoke very tactfully, but I wasn’t a fool, I could tell that he had basically already concluded that I

was the murderer.

Putting aside the public opinion outside, now here in the police station, I was barely able to protect

myself.

After a moment of silence, I looked at him and said, “Have you checked the place where Ashley used

to live? And the accident scene, could you send someone to check it again?”

Sensing my thoughts, Captain Lucas sighed slightly, “We’ve sent people to check all these places, Ms.

Conner. We know better than you how to find evidence. But so much time has passed, a lot ofContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.

evidence has already been destroyed. Even the scene where Henry died was ruined by your friends.

They didn’t even leave us a single photo. We’re police, not gods. We can’t restore something that’s

been completely destroyed.”
