Chapter 183
You Hit My Heart
Second Pricint.
With the surveillance footage outside the Warner residence, Jacqueline
and Shelly were the first two to be ruled out from the list of suspects.
It was because according to the surveillance footage, Joyce returned to
the Warner family first, and Jacqueline and Shelly returned to the
Warner family after some time.
And the time of Stephanie's death basically coincided with Joyce's
arrival.
Joyce stated that Stephanie was already dead when she arrived home.
So Jacqueline and Shelly were not suspected. They were the first to be
released, but they needed to stay to take statements and could not
leave the Second Pricint for the time being.
While waiting for her statement to be taken, Jacqueline walked to a
corner near the street outside the police station, where she took out her
cell phone and called the head of the police headquarter, who was the
husband of a friend in her usual upper-class circle.
After a long time, the call was finally answered.
"Mr. Donaldson, hello, I'm Jacqueline, your wife's friend. you've heard
of me, I think."
âYou are the mother of the president of R&S Group. Of course I have
heard of you, and I often hear about you from my wife. May I ask what I
can do for you?" Mr. Donaldson was eager to ask, and they couldn't
have been happier to get in touch with the Warner family. Just a little bit
from Luther's fingers could make him a fortune.
âIt's like this ..." Jacqueline briefly recounted what happened.
Jacqueline said, while walking to a place with nobody around. She
looked around to make sure no one was there, before saying, "Mr.
Donaldson, this matter, at present, involves a great deal of interest. No
matter what the truth is, Joyce must be put in jail and the will must be
proven to have been altered by her. Only in this way can I get back my
shares that originally belonged to me. Mr. Donaldson, I've told you
everything I know, you must help me."
âI will try to help you as much as I can control. Once the case goes to
court, there's nothing I can do. You still need to find the court.â Mr.
Donaldson was naturally tempted by the huge benefits. Only his power
was quite limited, and it is impossible to extend his hand to the court.
âThe problem right now is that not all identification departments are
under the jurisdiction of the police department. I'll inquire later where
the evidence is being sent. From your description, this is a case taken
over by the Second Precinct?" Mr. Donaldson thought about the matter
and asked again.
âYes. The name of the police officer in charge is Karl. Mr. Donaldson,
one more thing please, can you get another police officer to get in
charge of the case? This disrespectful and uncaring young lad!"
Jacqueline's heart was on fire at the thought of the rude Karl, who had
refuted her words several times. He not only uncuffed Joyce, but also
treated her and Shelly as suspects together.
"Please keep this little cop out of the case. This certainly would not be a
problem, right?" Jacqueline just wanted to vent her anger.
"So it is Karl in charge now?!" Mr. Donaldson was taken aback, "Then it
would be even more difficult.â
"Why? Is he not just a nobody?" Jacqueline wondered.
"He's no ordinary cop. His father is the Chief Justice of the Capital
Supreme Court, a nationally renowned and prestigious man, with great
discretionary power. He could even propose changes in the law. Most
importantly, he was known for his integrity. His mother is the heiress of
the third largest construction company in the country. You could say
that Karl is both powerful and wealthy." Mr. Donaldson said.
"What? Then why is he still a police officer in the second precint?"
Jacqueline was astonished, not expecting that a small police officer
would have such a background. No wonder Karl was fearless.
âI'm not sure of the exact reason. In short, Karl and his father are as
rigid as they are. You just won't possibly bribe them, and they must
investigate the matter to the end and never let go of any details. We
can't stop him. He has such a strong background, and no one dares to
offend him.â Mr. Donaldson said helplessly.
The last thing he added was, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you. I'll
contact the prosecutor's office first. There are my people there, and I'll
ask them to give special permission to arrest Joyce right away. Once
Joyce is transferred to the detention center, I'll be able to find
something to do there."
"Okay, I will be counting on you then.â Jacqueline hung up the phone.
She repeatedly paced outside the police station, angry and uneasy.
Just now she had been quite emotional, but when she thought about
the matter, Stephanie's death was really strange. Could it really be
Joyce?
Whether it was Joyce or not, she really it was Joyce.
Joyce had got all the shares. She had suffered so much for the past 30
years, how could she be willing to accept it all? Not a single cent was
left to Shelly her own granddaughter, but Joyce, an outsider, could
inherit an astronomical fortune, 10% of the company would mean a
supreme position in the R&S Group. No, she would never allow that to
happen. No matter what, there must be a way to prove that it was
Joyce who had tampered with the will!
Inside the lobby of the police station.
Joyce had been taken to the interrogation room alone for a preliminary
questioning by a police officer.
Karl, meanwhile, sat at his desk, where he needed to organize the
materials to decide where to start next.
By this time, Juanita had already arrived. She was delayed by the traffic
all the way, and when she saw Karl, she rushed up to him.
The usual cute and delicate face, at this time, puffed up in anger,
"Officer, in the end what happened? I heard people outside say that
Stephanie died? And now you have Joyce arrested as the murderer?
How is that possible? Joyce treated Stephanie as her only family.
You've been kicked in the head by a donkey, don't you have the ability
to judge?"
Karl's handsome brow furrowed.
At that moment, Karl's cell phone rang, " I have to take a call, excuse
me."
Looking at the familiar caller number on his phone, he frowned, walked
to a place with nobody around and pressed the answer button.
