NovelAppChapter 1075 A Convenient Setup How could things have escalated so far beyond comprehension? "It's a convoluted situation," the police officer commenced, drawing a deep breath before reluctantly elaborating the circumstances to Cherise. "You've got it right that Sebastian was apprehended yesterday. However, owing to his implication in economic offenses within Suncrest City, following consultations with authorities there, it was determined that he would be transferred for his impending trial within the span of two days." "Regrettably, during the transfer process, a violent altercation ensued. Sebastian seized an opportunity to flee, and around four o'clock in the wee hours of the morning, his body was subsequently discovered deceased near a hotel dumpster." "Furthermore," the officer added after a short pause, retrieving his phone and displaying a video for Cherise's scrutiny. In the footage, she was depicted wielding a surgical knife perilously close to Sebastian's neck. "This footage was forwarded to our precinct, and the injuries found on Sebastian's body correlate with those inflicted by a surgical blade. The exact stype of knife was retrieved from the dumpster where his remains were uncovered." Following the presentation of the incriminating video, the officer locked eyes with Cherise. "Cherise, based on the evidence at hand, we have no choice but to harbor suspicions regarding your role in Sebastian's demise. We hope you are willing to fully cooperate with our inquiry." Cherise's gaze remained fixed on the officer, her mind reeling as she grappled with the staggering accusations leveled against her. They suspected her of being Sebastian's murderer just from smere imitation of the surgical knife she used? While she conceded to brandishing the knife in a moment of desperation, it had been a mere ruse. A calculated maneuver to deter him from his transgressions. She harbored no intent to inflict harm upon him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a practitioner of medicine, Cherise adhered staunchly to the principles of nonviolence, recognizing it as antithetical to her professional code of ethics.
And yet, despite her steadfast convictions, she found herself caught in the plot of a murder accusation.
With a face drawn taut and lips pressed into a thin line, she begrudgingly agreed to the authorities' request, preparing herself to undergo further interrogation.
The entire scenareeked of orchestration.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWho in their right mind would orchestrate a murder in such a clumsy manner, leaving both the victim's body and the murder weapon in close proximity to each other? The synchronicity of the video's emergence directly following Sebastian's demise appeared far too convenient to dismiss as mere happenstance.
Lacking immediate means to prove that she was innocent, Cherise resolved to comply with the authorities, albeit with a gnawing sense of skepticism lingering in her mind.
"Cherry," Damien interjected, enfolding her into his arms. He fixed a steely gaze on the police officer, declaring firmly, "You're blaming an innocent victim." "Regardless of her innocence, we must await the outcof our investigation," the officer responded, his tone courteous as he offered a placid smile. "Mr. Lenoir, I trust that, given your influence, you wouldn't impede official procedures. S "If your wife is unjustly implicated, your priority should be vindicating her rather than engaging in conflict." He then cocked his head at Cherise, directing his gaze at her. "Do you agree, Mrs. Lenoir?" With Damien's tacit agreement, the officer pressed on, "Don't worry, we will treat Ms. Shaw with utmost consideration. I find it difficult to fathom that a doctor such as her would be involved in such an act." He then retrieved a pair of handcuffs, directing his attention to Cherise. "Would you preferto apply these restraints, or would you rather do it yourself?" Cherise drew a deep breath, steeling herself for the inevitable. Now was not the moment for defiance against the police.
Sebastian lay lifeless, the evidence converging uncomfortably toward her. Were she in their position, she would likely proceed in the smanner. Ultimately, Cherise that the police were merely executing their duty. S vesped Yet, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. "Do you have any leads on who sent you the video?" The timing of the video's emergence sparked doubts regarding the sender's potential role in Sebastian's demise.
