Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 664: 219: Facing reality, Edward Thompson breaks down! _5
 

Thinking of this, Oliver Andrews looked at Officer Blogger and asked, “Old Blogger, are there any witnesses in Edward Thompson’s case?”

Officer Blogger shook his head, “No, all the evidence we have so far is his own confession.”

But what does a confession count as evidence?

Officer Blogger continued, “Also, we found Edward Thompson’s fingerprints on the murder weapon, as well as on the victim’s body.”

Hearing this, Oliver Andrews frowned slightly, “What about Sylvia Thompson?”

“In the interrogation room next door.”

Ling said, “I’ll go take a look.”

In the interrogation room, only Sylvia Thompson’s tearful answers and the People’s Police’s questions could be heard.

“Comrades of the People’s Police, I think this must be a misunderstanding. I grew up with my younger brother, and I know his character. He definitely wouldn’t do such a thing! Definitely not!”

“Sylvia Thompson, Edward Thompson has been insisting that he met with you at nine o’clock last night, and moreover, it was you who asked him to go upstairs to get the package. Be honest, did you do these things or not?”

“No,” Sylvia Thompson shook her head with tearful eyes, “I don’t know why my younger brother lied, but I really didn’t. I was with Tongtong all the time yesterday, and Tongtong can testify for me! Although my younger brother lied, I still believe that he definitely wouldn’t kill anyone! Comrades of the People’s Police, you must not miss any details and must not let the real murderer go unpunished!”

Sylvia Thompson cried sadly, worried about Edward Thompson and not understanding why Edward Thompson was lying, while also grieving for her father’s death.

Various emotions intertwined.

Ling frowned slightly.

She had seen many suspects who could act, and more than a few of them.

But someone like Sylvia Thompson was a first for her.

In the past, those who could kill without changing their face were mostly older criminals.

But how old was Sylvia Thompson?

She was only eighteen!

If an eighteen-year-old girl was really acting, how vicious would her heart be?

After all.

The one who died was her biological father!

The police officer in charge of the interrogation glanced at Sylvia Thompson, “Don’t worry, we People’s Police will not let go of a good person, nor will we wrong a bad person! Tell us, when was the last time you saw your father, and what was his condition?”

Sylvia Thompson thought for a while, then said, “He had drunk a lot of alcohol, smelled heavily of alcohol, and asked me for money. But I really had no money that day, so I didn’t give it to him, and then he left cursing. Later on, I went to find Tongtong. If I had known he would be…”

At the last sentence, Sylvia Thompson choked with sobs, “If I had known he would be killed, I would have borrowed money at high interest to give it to him at that time. I regret it so much!”

Just then, a woman’s voice suddenly appeared in the air, “Sylvia Thompson, you are acting, you killed James, didn’t you?”

A very stern voice.

Shocked everyone.

At this moment, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in front of Sylvia Thompson, staring at her.

The eyes were sharp, as if to pierce through her whole person.

Although Ling looked young, she was an experienced old police officer with many years of case handling experience and had an aura of justice that ordinary people could not face directly.

Ordinary people would definitely be scared by such voices and eyes.

But Sylvia Thompson wouldn’t.

Earlier, in order to gain the favor of Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne, Sylvia Thompson had specifically studied psychology.

She knew how to disguise herself.

Additionally, Sylvia Thompson shared something in common with Nidya.

She didn’t easily offend anyone.

So, even when she lost the halo of being the second young lady of the Thompson Clan, her usual acquaintances still had no negative comments about her.

“No, I didn’t! Even though I hate him, I never thought about hurting him. After all, he was my father!”

Sylvia Thompson looked directly into Ling’s eyes.

Fearless and undaunted.

Seek wealth in danger.

She had to survive this ordeal.

As long as she made it through this, a bright future awaited her!

As if she hadn’t heard Sylvia Thompson’s rebuttal, Ling continued, “Sylvia Thompson, stop pretending. We already found out from the surveillance video at Edward Thompson’s house that you went to his house to invite him for a barbecue last night!”

Hearing this, several police officers around her squinted their eyes without a sound.

They were well aware that Ling was just trying to coax a confession out of Sylvia Thompson.

Surveillance?

Hearing this sentence, a bad premonition rose in Sylvia Thompson’s heart, and then she quickly recalibrated herself.
