Chapter 663: 219: Facing reality, Edward Thompson breaks down! _4
“During your conversation, did Sylvia Thompson ever leave?”
“No.”
“Are you sure?” Ling continued to ask.
Maureen Fitzell nodded, “Yes, I’m very sure.”
Upon hearing this, Maureen continued, “You guys can’t possibly suspect that Sylvia killed someone, right? That’s absolutely impossible! She’s so kind that she wouldn’t even step on an ant on the street, let alone be a murderer! And I can be held responsible for my words; she was indeed with me that day!”
Ling nodded, then asked, “Where did you have lunch?”
“A Hunanese restaurant, our first time eating there! The name is… Bessi Restaurant! That’s right, Bessi Restaurant!”
“Which cinema did you watch the movie in after lunch?”
“Maple Square.”
“And dinner?”
Maureen answered one by one.
After checking, it was found that Maureen did not lie. After 12 noon, she had indeed been with Sylvia Thompson. They ate lunch together, watched a movie, had dinner, and took a walk by the river.
Could it be…
This incident was unrelated to Sylvia Thompson?
But if it had nothing to do with Sylvia Thompson, then Edward Thompson would be the prime suspect!
Coming out of the interrogation room, Ling looked at Oliver Andrews beside her, “What do you think, Andrews?”
Oliver narrowed his eyes as if suddenly thinking of something and asked, “James and Nidya were a married couple, right?”
After all, he and Ling had just recently finished dealing with Nidya’s murder case.
At that time, all evidence pointed to James as the murderer.
If it weren’t for Olivia Cooper’s watch-phone revealing the truth, who would have believed that the real murderer would be Nidya, who appeared as a loving mother in everyone’s eyes!
Ling nodded, “Yes, speaking of which, this couple is really strange. First, the wife deliberately kills, and now the husband is killed by someone…”
At this point, Ling continued, “Sylvia is Nidya’s biological daughter. What do you think, could the real killer be Sylvia, and Edward Thompson is just her scapegoat!”
After all, Sylvia had a mother like that.
“It’s possible,” Oliver nodded and added, “but Sylvia has an alibi!”
Hearing this, Ling frowned slightly, “Let’s see what Officer Blogger has to say.”
“Okay.” Oliver followed Ling’s footsteps.
The two went to the office next door.
Officer Blogger was sitting at his desk, looking at a loss.
“Officer Blogger.” Ling walked over and tapped Officer Blogger’s desk with her fingers.
Officer Blogger finally reacted, looked up at Ling, pressed his temples with some fatigue, and continued, “How’s it going? Did you find any important clues on your side?”
Ling handed the file in her hand to Officer Blogger, “This is the transcript of Sylvia’s classmate and best friend, Maureen Fitzell.”
Upon hearing this, Officer Blogger reached out and took the file.
After reading it, Officer Blogger pinched the bridge of his nose, “Looks like we still have to find a breakthrough from Edward Thompson. By the way, we found a piece of important information in the surveillance video at the deceased’s house. You should take a look.”
After saying this, Officer Blogger opened the stored surveillance video on his computer.
After watching it, Ling frowned slightly. Clearly, she did not expect Edward Thompson to have had a conflict with James.
Could it be…
The murderer was really Edward Thompson?
No!
There must be other issues involved.
Just then, Oliver hit the nail on the head, “This video not only proves that Edward Thompson had a motive for murder, but also Sylvia. After all, Sylvia was the one who had a conflict with James! She spent more time with James than Edward did since they didn’t live together and had no direct connection. Obviously, Sylvia hates James more than Edward does, and she wants James to disappear from this world even more than Edward!”
If talking about the motive for murder alone, Sylvia’s motive is much stronger than Edward’s.
At this point, Oliver pointed out when the progress bar was at 10 minutes and 3 seconds, “Look here, Sylvia’s action of grabbing the knife is obviously hesitant. It’s clear that she hopes that Edward could go through with it at that moment so she could escape from James forever.”
But this is just Oliver’s speculation.
He has not obtained any firm evidence.
