In the next two days, Freddy gave two more cases to Audrey. Audrey was busy dealing with them. In addition, she filed a complaint against Cane Newell Studio to the Peace City Intermediate People's Court. So she got distracted from Lance's case.
Bryson and Audrey had breakfast together this morning. After Bryson returned to the hotel, Audrey was preparing to call the Taylor family's lawyer because they had an appointment this morning.
Just as she took out her phone, she received a call from Raye.
Audrey frowned as Raye spoke.
"I beg your pardon?"
Raye said happily, "Ms. Audrey, the police just called. They said that a man named Carl went to turn himself in. He said that the push that our boss gave to Mr. Taylor was not that hard. However, he slammed him against the wall when he dragged him out of the bar. It was the fatal injury leading to Mr. Taylor's death. He admitted that he was the real murderer."
Audrey, "..."
Audrey couldn't believe that Carl admitted that he was the real murderer.
"Is what you said true?"
"Of course!" Raye continued, "Besides, the court called this morning and said that the Taylor family had withdrawn the lawsuit against our boss. The police also asked him over for removing the ankle bracelet. Boss is changing clothes now. He asked me to tell you the good news."
"Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Audrey was still in big shock.
She thought, "Why did Carl turn himself in suddenly?"
In a short while, the lawyer of the Taylor family called her and said the same thing as Raye said. The case was dropped and there was no need for them to meet each other.
Bryson had a video conference to attend today, so he had to deal with it in the hotel. Since he couldn't drive her, she took a taxi to the police station.
When she arrived, Lance had just walked out of the police station.
With the bracelet on his ankle, Lance stretched his body comfortably.
Seeing that Audrey had arrived, Lance deliberately indicated his left foot.
Audrey smiled. "Congratulations! You are free now!"
"Thanks!" A smug smile appeared on his face. He glanced behind Audrey. "Is Bryson coming with you?"
"He has a meeting to attend!"
"There are a lot of fun places in Pine City. I'd love to show you around!"
"Thanks, but I've got stuff to do!"
"My case is closed. What else can you do?"

"I heard that Carl turned himself in. I am going to see him."
Lance said impatiently, "He is a murderer. Why do you want to see him? Are you his defense lawyer? Are you nuts?"
"I am not insane, ok?" Audrey rolled her eyes. "I just feel strange about this thing."
"What's strange? The crime scene has been committed. The blood on the wall near the door was proved to be Mr. Taylor's according to the luminol test. The police have confirmed that he is the murderer. You don't have to see him again."
"Mr. Lance, it's none of your business!"
Upon saying that, Audrey walked past Lance directly.
Lance was speechless.
Seeing that Audrey was not willing to leave, Lance thought for a moment and decided to follow Audrey into the police station.
After Audrey explained her intention to the police, she filled in a registration form. Then, she waited for Carl in the interrogation room. Standing next to Audrey was Lance who refused to leave.
Carl was brought in by two policemen. After seeing Audrey and Lance, Carl revealed a bit of mockery on his face. Then, he calmly sat down on the opposite side of the table.
As soon as Lance saw Carl, he became furious. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up.
"You were the one who shifted the blame on me."
Audrey glared at Lance. "Calm down! Don't make trouble!"
Lance, who originally wanted to give Carl a good beating, had no choice but to retreat behind Audrey.
Carl looked at Audrey and Lance fearlessly.
"I heard that you two want to see me. What is this about?"
His arrogant tone almost angered Lance.
"Why did you turn yourself in?" asked Audrey.

"Did you kill Dale? If you plead guilty for something that you haven't done, don't you know what the consequences will be. You will end up in prison for the rest of your life. Even worse, the Taylor family will ensure you to get a severer sentence."
Carl was very likely to face the death penalty.
"Since I have decided to turn myself in, I have to be mentally prepared. For me, it's better to die than living with guilt." Carl said naturally, but there was no guilt on his face.
Audrey narrowed her eyes and fixed her eyes on Carl, capturing any changes on his face.

"Why did you kill Mr. Taylor?"
"Didn't you investigate me before? I like Josie. I am her crazy fan. As for Dale..." Carl snorted. "He was toying with Josie's feelings. Even they were together, he was cheating on her with the other women. After Josie got pregnant, he dumped her. Josie was so devastated that she committed suicide. So, I hated him very much. I blamed him for Josie's death."
"Why did you shift the blame onto me?" Lance pointed at his nose and questioned Carl.
Carl gave him a mocking look. "Because you tipped me 1, 000 yuan!"
The corner of Lance's mouth twitched. "What? Are you not happy with it? Once again, why did you pin the shame on me?"
Lance couldn't believe all the trouble was caused by a tip.
"I hate rich people!" Carl sneered and said, "Do you think you can toy with other people's feelings and trample on their self-esteem with money?"
Lance was speechless.
Carl's theory was that the rich were guilty and they should go to hell. The rich didn't deserve money. Money was the root of all evil. If the rich were as poor as him, they were equal and nobody dared to look down on him.
Was this so-called Psychology of Hating the Rich?
Audrey narrowed her eyes, staring at Carl. She asked again, "Who killed Mr. Taylor? Who are you taking the blame for?"
