Chapter 992
With just one word and one stare, Axel immediately understood what Frederick had meant. He was asking him not to inform his family. Axel nodded understandingly. "All right!"
Later, Frederick left with the group of people. The situation was so monumental that it seemed as if he was not arrested but on was parading. Upstairs, there were staff collecting evidence. They made it quick and evacuated from the scene in no time. However, Frederick's bedroom was temporarily sealed.
Frederick went to the police station cooperatively. In the interrogation room, he held his chin and began to yawn.
Two consecutive batches of people came to interrogate him, but they didn't get a word out of him.
"Hey! Did you hear what I said? Let me tell you that leniency is for confessors while severity is for resisters. You'd better start speaking up!"
"Are you deaf? Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you pretend to be deaf and dumb! I'm warning you to explain everything honestly. Otherwise, I'll make sure that you're locked up in jail, no matter who you are!" Angrily, a young man with his face flushed red slammed the table and stood up. As soon as he threw the pen down, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened, followed by a cold and arrogant man appearing at the door. "Watch your attitude, officer. You must take responsibility for what you say! I can sue you for threatening my client now!"
Noah entered the room and took out his ID.
"My apologies. I'm Mr. Clements' representative lawyer. Now, I have full authority to take over this case. I would like to have a talk with my client! Before the case is clearly investigated, my client will not answer any questions!" Hurriedly, the two policemen packed up their things and left in anger, puffing up their cheeks. Then, Noah sat on the opposite side.
Their eyes met. Frederick couldn't help but to sneer, "Even you're here? Looks like I can't get out for the time being!"
If he could be released on bail, he probably wouldn't even sit down, would he?
"I charge by every minute that I show up for my client! Except for the wealthy Four Great Masters, who would be bothered to give me a call?"
Frederick shrugged his shoulders and asked calmly, "What's the situation?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?"
After they exchanged glances, Frederick directly refuted, "You came so late. Don't tell me that you didn't meet Chet before coming!" If he knew what was going on, why would he sit there in a daze?
Then, Noah took out a notebook from his bag and cast him a look of admiration.
"You're so clear-minded. How did you end up in jail?"
After joking with him for a while, Noah went straight to the point.
"Early in the morning, there was a fire in the woods behind Somerset Bridge. The cars that were passing by saw it and called the police. After the fire was put out, they found a burnt female body! According to preliminary judgment, the body started burning around nine to eleven o'clock last night. Some parts of the road were blind spots of the surveillance cameras. Coincidentally..."
"I showed up with my head held high! Haha..." What a coincidence! Was he unlucky, or was he being schemed against?
Danica! That d*mned woman! Did she decide to use death to frame him after failing again and again? What for? Was it for money?
For a while, Frederick clenched his fists so hard that they crackled! What sins did he do in his past life? Was she not going to let him off even if she became a ghost?
"So, for now, you're the first suspect!
This case is more challenging to deal with. It's a young woman, and she's pregnant! It's terrible to murder and burn the body! This case is not difficult to settle. With no concrete evidence, it's impossible to sue you, but as a suspect of a serious case..."
Pregnant woman? So, was she not Danica? Then, what was going on? Was it a coincidence? Frederick immediately replied, "I understand. I can't be released on bail!"
Noah nodded and said.
"Therefore, at the moment, you have to keep calm! To clear you of your suspected charges, we must get favorable evidence. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble! However, this case is really a bit tricky, because the woman's body has been burnt, and it's hard to tell the extend of the specific damages at the moment! According to my analysis and my experience, if the injury is not serious, the information about the woman's identity will be confirmed soon. As long as the evidence proves that you've never crossed paths with each other, it is likely for you to get rid of suspicion. At least, it would be likely to get you bailed out. However, it takes time to verify the case. If the burning is serious or the on-site evidence is not sufficient, you may be listed as the first suspect. It can be a long time, a
week, a month, or even up to..."
"I believe in you! With all of you around, I won't end up in jail."
As soon as Frederick finished his words, Noah couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Can't you be more serious? Don't you know how serious this matter is? Don't think that nothing will go wrong just by praising me like this! I'm no God!"
"I didn't do it. What am I afraid of?"
Frederick murmured as he tapped on the table gently. A glint flashed across his eyes for a brief moment.
"Just try your best! No hurry in getting me out for the time being! Don't tell the public anything! Also, I want to see Chet. Ask him to come to see me as soon as possible!" "Did you think of something? Or, do you have any plans? Frederick, I'm your lawyer. If anything happens, you have to tell me in advance, and you can't hide anything from me!" Even if he was the one who had done it, he had to do the same!
"Why? Are you suspecting me now? This matter has nothing to do with me at all. If I wanted to kill someone, why would I do it in such a stupid way?"
To put it bluntly, there were many people who would work hard for rich people. Let it be murder or arson, there were a lot of them!
"I absolutely trust you! I'll find a way to bail you out as soon as possible..."
They talked for a while. Noah recorded some details and key points before going out.
Very quickly, Chet entered the detention room, "Frederick?"
Frederick gestured for him to sit down first. After the surveillance personnel stepped back, he then asked, "Is there any clues?"
"Frederick, I already recorded my
statement with them. I also found the informant and several witnesses, but they all just saw a woman's figure coming in and out, or our car. D*mn it! It was nothing useful! I also went to Danica for clarification, but those in the police station don't believe me at all! Now all the evidence is against you because there's a blood reaction on the knife you used last night. Even ifl get Danica here, they can't rule out your suspected charges! You have no idea. Everyone now suspects that the female corpse is your wife, or you're the one who abandoned her and destroyed the evidence. Trying to make up stories, those people! We are really f*cking unlucky! The female corpse came from nowhere. It is said to be a young woman. She was disfigured from the burning and was pregnant! I don't know which animal could be that cruel!"
