“I didn’t kill him.”
She couldn’t explain the situation as the gun was in her hand at that time. Sampson died because he was shot. She had no way to explain.
“You’ve to think it clearly. If you give an honest explanation, you can still get a lenient punishment. However, if you insist, it would be useless for you to deny anymore when the test comes out with only your fingerprints on the gun.”
She looked at the general officer who was writing down the records, “You’ve arranged all this. Why do you have to pretend to take records?”
That officer looked up at her, “I don’t know what you are talking about. I’m just following the procedure as we’ve to make records with every suspect.”
He accentuated the pronunciation of the word ‘suspect’.
This word pierced her eardrum and her mind was fogged. Her eyes were dazzled, but she struggled to keep her eyes open and keep herself calm. “I’m just defending myself! I didn’t kill him!”
“If you didn’t kill him, why did you hold the gun and pointed at him?”
“I’ve told you, I was only defending myself and I didn’t kill him!”
“As far as we know, Sampson was sentenced for a kidnapping case and the one he kidnapped was you, is it correct?”
That’s true.
“Yes.”
“Could it be that you harbour a grudge against him as he kidnapped you, so you killed him?”
She bent over as she felt pain in her chest. A disgusting feeling of nausea rushed upwards and she wanted to vomit. She closed her eyes and looked extremely uncomfortable, “No.”[
“Don’t make a fuss, all the evidence is directing to you now. It is impossible to release you before investigating clearly.” The police officer who was interrogating her saw that she was having a difficult time. The police also thought that this was an excuse to avoid the interrogation or an attempt to be uncomfortable so that she could be released on bail.
She could not be released on bail according to her current situation.
Loredana was so uncomfortable that she did not want to speak anymore.
The police officer who was in charge of recording patted his colleague beside him, “Better stop the interrogation. Send her to the infirmary.”
“You’re not allowed to go in, there is an interrogation going on inside.”
At this moment, there was a commotion at the doorway.
Boyce was familiar with the place and barged in with his gun.
“Boyce, do you know what are you doing?” The police officer who was in charge of the interrogation looked at Boyce.
Boyce glanced at him sternly and did not pay much attention to him. He must have thought of the consequences since he dared to barge in. As long as he did not really hurt anybody, there was no big deal at all other than just being dismissed.
His gaze fell on Loredana, “Loredana, are you alright?”
Loredana shook her head but she was weak and feeble.
Boyce walked over quickly and assisted her, “Are you uncomfortable?”
Loredana nodded and she did not know that whether it was because of drinking the wine, so her stomach was uncomfortable. Now, her lower abdomen was painful too.
“Let me take you to the hospital.” Boyce helped her up when Officer Sharp rushed in and blocked their way out.
“Ms. Flores is now a suspect. She is not allowed to be taken away.”
“Get out of the way!” Boyce pointed his gun at him violently, “Get out of the way immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Officer Sharp was not intimidated, but he took a step forward and placed his forehead against Boyce’s gun. He was sure that Boyce would not fire him.
“Boyce, now Ms. Flores’s guilt is undetermined and still under investigation. If she goes with you today, I’m afraid it will be even disadvantageous for her. You can put your own future at risk, but can you also put Ms. Flores’s life at risk?”
Loredana grabbed Boyce’s arm and withdrew his gun. She could not let Boyce get himself into this trouble.
“I’m fine. Although I’m being investigated, I’m still concerned about my life. You leave first.”
“But…”
“But what, I ask you to leave. What is the benefit of getting yourself into this trouble?” Loredana interrupted him.
It was clear that she was particularly aimed in this matter.
It was useless for Boyce to create such a commotion.
There is no point in taking her out.
As long as there was no evidence showing that she had not killed anybody, she could not get rid of this trouble.
“But your current body.” Boyce was worried.
Loredana shook her head. Her forehead was already full of perspiration while her lips were dry. If Boyce had not been holding her up, she might not be able to stand up.
“Just leave her with me. I will send her to the hospital.” Officer Sharp was only responsible for the case. He knew the importance of Loredana and he would not let her be in danger.
Boyce looked at Officer Sharp.
“Now, the case is not yet tried. Ms. Flores’s guilt is still undetermined. Since she is not feeling well, we will not ignore it by right. But rather, Boyce, if you keep arguing with me, it will only delay Ms. Flores’s treatment.”
Boyce understood Officer Sharp’s point.
Now, he could not take Loredana away at all. Even if he did, she would still be arrested as long as the case was still not over.
At this moment, Loredana’s legs went limp and her entire body collapsed.
Boyce caught her up instantly by holding her waist.
He looked at Officer Sharp, “I will take her to the hospital. You follow me, I won’t take her away.”
Officer Sharp nodded his head, “I will drive and fetch you up.”
Armand was anxiously waiting for Boyce at the door. Boyce worked in the police station and would just commit a mistake even if Boyce barged in. However, he was different as barging in would be considered breaking the law.
He and Boyce had agreed that he would wait outside while Boyce went in to bring Loredana out.
He was worried as Boyce had gone in for a while but had not come out yet.
Just when Armand could not wait any longer and was about to barge in, Boyce walked out while carrying Loredana in his arms.
Loredana was carried out, what had happened?
