Chapter 30
It wasn't until I arrived at the police station that I knew that Caroline had disappeared after meeting me in the afternoon. The search team had been searching for her for a few hours before they found her at about 10 p.m. at the foot of the mountain. At that time, she was already in a coma and seriously injured.
The police guessed that she must have rolled down from the mountain.
The reason why they found me was that I had a call record with her last night. And the last message before her disappearance was sent to me.
The words of the message read, "Caroline, I've arrived. Where are you?"
I was confused and immediately argued, "How could I have a call record with her? Are you kidding me? I've never contacted her. And I haven't contacted her for months!"
Although I denied it, the police directly took out Caroline's call record over the month recently.
The record showed that she and I would call each other every few days.
The police could tell from the call frequency that she and I got along with each other.
"This is fake!" I denied it.
The police questioned me, "We got this from the telecom company. The way you see it, is the telecom company or the police faking it?"
I was dumbfounded.
After I finished recording the confession, Patrick came as soon as I was locked up by the police.
He went straight into the guard room.
It was late. And there was no light in the guard room. But I could still feel his horrifying anger.
"I didn't do it. I don't know why..."
"Shut up."
Before I could finish my words, Patrick interrupted me as he grabbed the collar of my clothes and pulled me to his side, "Charlotte Archer, I indeed underestimated you. Yesterday, Caroline said that she was going to the mountain to pray for blessings. I asked her who she would go with. She said that the counterpart asked her to keep it as a secret!"
I tried my best to explain it to Patrick, "No! She framed me! I didn't contact her at all!"
But he wasn't convinced by my words at all.
Instead, he just pressed me against the cold wall and asked me, "Charlotte Archer, tell me, what were you thinking about when you pushed her down the mountain? She should have grabbed you and asked you for help at that time, right?"
Cold moonlight came in through the crack of the iron window, shining on his face.
I could see that his profound eyes were full of hatred.
With my hand on my lower abdomen, I explained it to him feebly, "I didn't touch her. The call record is fake! I've never called her!"
In my opinion, a single call record couldn't prove that I was the murderer!
However, Patrick only grasped me more tightly after hearing my words. The smile at the corner of his lips was even colder. He said, "The skin extracted from Caroline's nails is yours after DNA identification! And there was also a witness at that time, proving that you went to the mountain!"
All of a sudden, my mind went blank.
No wonder. No wonder Caroline wanted to catch me at that time. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"I'm looking for my customer, Stanley Lance!"
I've told these words to the police early.
Patrick answered coldly, "Stanley said that she was filming in another city that day. And she didn't let you go up the mountain at all."
Only then did I realize that I didn't see Stanley at all that day. I only saw a person who claimed to be Stanley's assistant...
I suddenly felt that I had been set up by a well-designed conspiracy.
All the evidence did not exist...
I suddenly found myself ridiculous, wondering what on earth I had done wrong.
I just fell in love with Patrick Cowell. In the end, how come I would end up being in jail?
Seeing that I didn't say anything and assuming that I couldn't defend myself, Patrick pushed me hard and said word by word in an indifferent way, "Let me tell you, Charlotte Archer, if anything happens to Caroline this time, I will let you spend the rest of your life in jail!"
