Chapter 61 Police interrogation
Within moments, Matida was at the police station, and as soon as she entered, she was surprised that Oswat was there with a carefully bandaged abdominal wound. She panicked and ran over to her son.
“Oswat, what happened?”
The young man soothes his beautiful mother:
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just a small wound on the skin.”
Matida angrily scolded him:
“Lie, bleeding like this, your face is extremely pale, it is clear at first glance that you have been stabbed by someone. Why did you stupidly let yourself become like this?”
At this point Robert came out and said:
“Don’t blame the boy, he is a very brave and brave man, thanks to him Wade was captured by us.”
Matida was a bit confused, but Robert explained further:
“The night before, I was at the office all night looking for information and traces of Wade through the investigative files. For someone like him, committing crimes again is very likely when he has a drug addiction again, adding that his childhood has been in a reformatory for a while. And it’s true, three years ago I received a complaint from a young woman when she claimed to have been sexually assaulted and harassed by him, but he seemed to be afraid of something in the face of it. with the police, so he obediently did what we asked, apologized and compensated the girl for the loss.”
Robert paused to think, Matida then asked:
“So is he going to jail?”
The policeman shook his head.
“No, his crime at that time was still light because he only harassed, not violated or raped the girl, so he was only detained for 6 months and released. After that, he seemed to live a better and more secluded life, I haven’t heard any criminal information from him.”
Matida looked inside and asked in surprise:
“So how did you manage to capture Wade in such a short time?”
Robert looked at Oswat and replied:
“I got a lot of help. Actually, I went to the Lawrence mansion and got information from the servants under the permission of Mr. Wibul. Although I have no evidence to suggest that my theory is correct since Wade is a subordinate of Mr. Aiden involved in the old case, Mr. Wibul’s generosity and kindness surprised me quite a bit when Mr. He has allowed me to ask and get information from his servants.”
Matida shyly says:
“I should have given Oswat, Chantal’s letter to you when he went to the police station, but I wanted to keep it to myself so I could personally go to Wibul to expose Chantal’s true face and clarify the truth, doubt and anger in my chest. On the other hand, I am afraid, I am afraid that my assumption is not correct, it is all just my opinion and I will slander Aiden. That’s why I asked the police to investigate and arrest Wade to find out who really masterminded Winston’s death. And is that betrayal true to what I read in that letter? ”
Robert reassured Matida:
“I understand that, Matida. I understand your dilemma and pain. And when I went to Lawrence’s house, I used to think the same thing, but is Aiden guilty of ordering Wade to kill people? Then Mr. Wibul still enthusiastically helped, he said that he believes his son is a good person, there must be some mistake here, his son cannot be a murderer, because So he will coordinate with the police to clear up the problem in this case.”
Matida thought for a moment and then suddenly asked:
“Isn’t Mr. Wibul curious about the reason the police overturned the case?”
Robert calmly replied:
“Yes but not much, I replied to him that someone has reported the real culprit of this case, it has a few twists and turns that need to be cleared up.”
Matida didn’t ask anymore because it was unnecessary for her at the moment, because now she was only concerned about Oswat’s injuries and wanted to hear Wade’s testimony as an anonymous accuser. She turned to Oswat and scolded:
“The reason for your injury I will ask you later, but now you should go to the hospital with my driver because your injury needs to be treated promptly.”
Oswat smiled and replied:
“You don’t have to worry so much, my injury has already been treated before. I want to go inside with you and listen to Wade’s testimony.”
Before Oswat’s determined gaze, Matida also had to comply with his will, helping him inside with her under Robert’s guidance. Once inside that room, through a layer of transparent glass door can see Wade, but otherwise Wade cannot see Matida, Oswat or Robert because this is a criminal investigation room, that glass will stop him from playing dirty tricks on the outside and tell the truth. Officer Phil, sitting across from him inside, asked sternly:
“You’re Aiden Lawrence’s subordinate, aren’t you?”
Wade calmly replied with a surprised expression:
“Who is he? I don’t know him, I’m just a salesman. Why would a stranger and the police try to arrest me just because he messed with my business, I protested and was arrested here.”
Phil replied sharply:
“You don’t sound innocent when you tried to escape from our pursuit. Tell everything and don’t play around, it won’t work. I need your honesty right now. You’re Aiden’s subordinate right?”
Wade shook his head, a small defiant smile on his lips, he remained silent. Phil smiled back, he gently turned the laptop screen back to show him all his background image information on the screen. Wade glanced at him and said:
“Yes. But what does it represent? I used to be Mr. Aiden’s ex-employee, I quit my job a long time ago so I don’t remember anything.”
Phil heard that and continued to ask:
“So do you know Aiden and Winston know each other?”
Wade didn’t answer, he stared at Phil with a provocative look. Phil saw no response from him, so he continued to ask:
“You’ve been working for Aiden for a while, so are you close to anyone in the mansion?”
Wade continued to ignore the answer, he kept his careless silence in front of the police. Faced with that situation, Phil had to get up, go to the door and invite Riley, Lady Hazel Lawrence’s butler to enter. Riley is a middle-aged woman, she wears thick glasses with a cold gaze ready to challenge anyone who angers her. Hazel’s butler stepped closer, stood across from Wade and said:
“Wade, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you in this situation.”
Wade chilled a bit in the presence of Riley, his former lover when they were both servants and servants of Lord Aiden. Riley gives a usb to Phil:
“I hope the information contained in my files will be of great help to your investigation.”
Phil took it and turned the computer screen to Wade to see, which contained all of his information, his resume and resume, along with his criminal evidence through the things he had done in the past. There was also a short clip of him and Arlo talking.
It is an abandoned train station, the meeting place of Wade and Arlo, Wade does not know that Riley is following behind and secretly filming. The two of them acted in a hurry, always observing their surroundings carefully. While Wade hands Arlo a briefcase, he accepts it and is pleased. Wade added:
“This is only half, when I’m done, I’ll give you the rest.”
Arlo nodded slightly and turned to walk quickly, leaving the place in a flash. At this point, Wade could no longer deny it, he was not only Aiden’s subordinate but also Arlo’s accomplice. But all of the above still does not prove that the mastermind is him, because he is a cunning guy, he can give any reason to deny the crime. Wade leisurely replied:
“Me and Arlo really know each other. We embarked on a joint business. But it was just our small business, I bought a large amount of drugs at his place.”
Phil pondered for a moment, then continued to question Wade:
“Very well, you are really good at denying guilt. So tell me to whom did you sell your medicine?”
Wade laughed and replied:
“It’s a professional secret, I can’t reveal it.”
Matida pondered for a long time, then suddenly said to Robert as she observed what was going on inside the interrogation room:
“Robert, I have a request, please allow me.”
The two walked aside, talking to each other. A few minutes later, Matida was brought into the interrogation room by Robert. Butler Riley was a little surprised by Matida’s presence, she adjusted her glasses and watched silently. A silence enveloped the room, Matida sat down at the table and said slowly:
“A case that has passed eighteen years, it is probably closed and fast asleep according to the verdict from the police. But maybe God gave me another chance to expose it, to find out who the real culprit is again? And that is why I am here today.”
Matida took out Chantal’s letter, not looking at Wade or Phil. Matida got up again and went to a corner where there was a hidden camera. Matida smiled and said:
“Mr. Wibul, I know you are watching what is going on in this room. Perhaps you are also anxious to know who turned the case over and whether the culprit was your son? That’s why you did your best to help the police and sent the butler Riley here.”
Matida paused to probe, a voice responding to her:
“Matida, you are truly a smart and observant person. So the one who wants to turn this case over is none other than you. I was really surprised by that. Now, what do you want to tell me?”
Matida held Chantal’s letter up to the camera for Wibul to see, then she read the contents of the letter in sequence for everyone to hear. After listening, Wibul laughed and said:
“Do you suspect my son to be a murderer just because of a letter?”
Matida resolutely replied:
“Right. But first of all, Chantal’s betrayal for me, she cheated on me, she is my best friend but she is always flirting and plotting to rob my husband. That’s your honorable and proud daughter-in-law again, Mr. Wibul. I despise her hypocrisy and brazenness.”
Mr. Wibul didn’t have time to react when Matida went to Wade’s side and questioned:
“Tell me quickly, was Aiden the one who sent you to collude with Arlo to kill my husband?”
Wade laughed like a madman as he looked into the pitiful eyes of a woman named Matida standing in front of him. Wade provokes her:
“My master is an innocent man. I really don’t know anything about Lady Chantal’s affair with her husband. I only worked with Arlo for the drug trade. You are very pitiful, Matida.”
At this moment, Riley suddenly spoke up:
“The content of the letter that Lady Matida read is absolutely true. I can attest to that.”
Matida was surprised to hear Riley’s words, she took Riley’s hand and said:
“So can you tell me everything you know?”
Riley nodded slightly, she began to talk about her past memories:
“Before I was assigned to be Lady Hazel’s personal butler, I was Lady Chantal’s servant under Lord Aiden’s appointment. As a longtime servant, I have witnessed everything in the relationship between my master and his wife. Mr. Aiden is indeed a harsh and hot-tempered husband, who always forces his wife to do what he wants, including sex.”
The butler recalled and said:
“And their marriage isn’t quite as happy as they’re trying to hide. There were nights when Lady Chantal couldn’t sleep, she sobbed because of what was happening in her life. But it was her weakness when the wealth Aiden brought her prevented Chantal from having the courage to divorce her husband. When she saw her former lover Winston happy with a small family, Chantal became jealous of Lady Matida, she wrote many letters to Winston and I was the one who sent them.”
At this time, Wade immediately interrupted to reply:
“That makes no sense, as far as I know, both of them live happily and peacefully together, there is no conflict between them. If you say so, do you have proof?”
Riley hesitated a bit, she sighed and opened her bag, Riley took another usb and gave it to the police. She sadly said:
“In it were pictures that I surreptitiously took from the letters Matida wrote before I sent them. It would be detrimental and shameful evidence for Lady Chantal if it were to be presented by me as proof of her divorce if it were to happen. But I was thinking in a different way, it could be used on how poor Chantal was, how unhappy she was in her husband’s marriage, constantly crying and expressing her displeasure, longing for her former lover through the handwritten words on the letters.”
Phil nodded, looking at the file on the usb that Riley sent him, he said:
“I’ve looked through them, Riley’s words are all true, I take note of it.”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Riley nodded at Phil, she continued to tell what she witnessed in the past:
“Once, I went with Chantal to see Sir Winston, after she had done a dirty trick threatening him to send Matida intimate pictures of them sleeping together in bed.”
Matida panicked and asked:
“Is that the case?”
Riley reassures Matida:
“The truth is that Sir Winston and Lady Chantal have nothing, it was just Chantal’s plan, she sneaked into his bedroom in the hotel when he had just had a drunken party with a friend’s partner. Chantal pretended to be lying next to him and posed for nude pictures with him, although she tried to have sex with him, but Winston kept mentioning Matida’s name, making her lose interest and burst into tears.
Matida whispered:
“So I blamed Winston, he really didn’t betray my love.”
Riley ignored Matida and continued:
“The meeting of Lady Chantal and Sir Winston I witnessed it all, he made it very clear to Chantal through his blunt attitude that she begged her to let him go and not hurt Matida. But Chantal disagrees, she still wants Winston back with her and advises him to leave Matida. At that moment, Sir Aiden suddenly appeared again and saw the two embracing, he misunderstood and hit Winston with a blow, and at the same time dragged his wife home. That evening, Aiden was in a rage, he sent all the servants out and broke the objects in the room, then continued to torment Chantal. The next day she was sick and in pain with many wounds on her body. I was the one who took care of her. A few days later, Mr. Aiden did not come home, he said that he was busy on business and instructed the servants to stay at home to take good care of Lady Chantal.”
The space became quiet, everyone in the room was immersed in Riley’s story. Sad butler says:
“I once had a thought that wanted to free Lady Chantal, I do not support her adultery, destroying other people’s family happiness. But I still wanted her to leave Mr. Aiden and run away from the Lawrence Manor, so I surreptitiously followed and collected what Mr. Aiden had done with Chantal as evidence against him abused his wife.”
Matida has praise:
“You really are a good servant to Chantal.”
Riley thanked Matida for complimenting her, she continued:
“And while I was following Mr. Aiden, I happened to follow him to a house in the woods. I saw Wade warmly welcome Aiden upon his arrival. Inside was another tall man, Aiden argued loudly with that man and angrily walked out. Before that, I heard a bit about assaulting another person, so I thought it might be beneficial for Chantal to get a divorce so I surreptitiously put the miniature tape recorder on top of the leather convertible top, inside the car Aiden gave Wade, when he did his job as a servant.”
At this point, Phil asked:
“Riley, do you remember the license plate number?”
Riley replied quickly:
“Yes, I remember.”
She read out the car number to Phil, he worked on the computer and picked up the phone to call his colleague. Phil said to those present in room:
“I need time to verify something. Maybe it takes a little time. Everyone can go out and rest for a while.”
