GoodNovelFreeScarlett looked at Officer Wyatt and frowned slightly, "Sorry, if | understand correctly, this should be a traffic accident. If it was a traffic accident, why was it reported to the criminal police?" Officer Wyatt was stunned for a moment. Then he cto his sense. He looked at Scarlett admiringly, "Ms.
Reed, you are clever. That's what I'm talking about. When we checked the vehicle, we found that the brakes of the car had been tampered with, so we suspect that this is a premeditated homicide." Scarlett's hands clenched at the word " homicide". "Where's Raymond?" "We haven't found Mr. Shaw's body yet." Scarlett didn't like the word "body," but she knew that as Raymond's car had lost its brakes and plunged off the Lacott River Bridge into the river, Raymond had probably lost his life, which was Officer Wyatt's reasonable guess.
Nevertheless, Scarlett couldn't accept it," Officer Wyatt, Raymond wouldn't lose his life that easily. He had learned to dive. He won the city freestyle championship when he was in junior high school." Officer Wyatt was silent for a few seconds. He avoided the sensitive subject. "Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReed, now we need you to cooperate with us in sinvestigation." "Sure." Then Scarlett paused for a moment, "But | need to make a phone call first." "Okay." Officer Wyatt made a "please" gesture.
Then he turned to his subordinates and instructed them to take Scarlett to record her statement later.
Scarlett took out her cell phone and called Frank.
Under such circumstances, she needed Frank to take charge of Tenton. So when Raymond returned, he wouldn't lose his hold on the company.
Then Scarlett called Katherine to get here quickly.
At last, Scarlett called Alexander.
Words would get out sooner or later. People would hear about Raymond's accident.
Rumors would spread. She could hide it from a lot of people, but she didn't have to hide it from Alexander.

Larry looked at her and reached out to give her a gentle hug. "I've already had someone look into it. Don't worry! Grandpa and | are here for you." At Larry's words, Scarlett's eyes welled up with tears. She made a soft response.
Right after that, Scarlett followed the police into the interrogation room.
After Scarlett sat down, a female officer poured her a glass of water, Scarlett smiled slightly at her, "Thank you." The policewoman nodded her head. She opened her file book and started with the questions. "When was the last tyou had contact with Mr. Shaw?" "About 10:30 last night. After he drovehome, he went back to his hotel and senta message, tellinghe was back at the hotel. | was in the shower, and when | cout and saw the message, | waited for him for a while, but he didn't messageback. | thought he had gone to the shower. | sent him a good night. After that, | left my phone and got in bed." Then Scarlett continued after a pause, "We had planned to go fishing with my grandfather in the countryside today." Officer Wyatt asked, "Did Raymond have any grudges against anyone?" "Yes, Ryker Shaw, his uncle." "What kind of grudge?" Scarlett took a sip of the water. She looked up at Officer Wyatt, "Over the family fortune." The inquiry lasted for about half an hour. When Scarlett cout of the interrogation room, she saw several missed calls from Alexander.
She looked at Larry, "I missed a call from Raymond's friend. | have to call him back, Larry." Larry nodded his head. Standing there under the old acacia tree, he watched Scarlett.
Just after Scarlett left the interrogation room, the female officer asked, "Officer Wyatt, is this woman really Mr.
Shaw's girlfriend? Why does she look so calm? When she answered our questions, her answers were clear and organized as if she knew what we were going to ask. She explained everything clearly. How cit seems she had prepared the answers in advance?" Officer Wyatt looked askance at the policewoman. "Do you think all women in this situation should cry their eyes out and lose their minds?" The female officer was not totally convinced. She bristled, "But she looks too calm!" Officer Wyatt snorted, "But you didn't see that her hands holding the glass were trembling." Scarlett was scared. But she knew that in this situation, she could only cooperate with the police to find out what happened to Raymond.
People had different sides. How could one tell from one side?
