Revenge After Death

Chapter 185 Zion glanced at his colleagues with a complex expression and said, “Sorry... It's not our team’s investigation now, so... | can’t say much.” Deep down, | sensed that there must have been sinternal reorganization among them since Zion hadn't found the real culprit yet.

Hence, the case remained unresolved.

“Zion... Please reach out to Steven for me. He'll be worried if | don’t chome. Just let speak with him, I'm begging you,” | said, looking at Zion anxiously.

Zion was about to speak when Phil interrupted.

“Officer Landon is under investigation too, so don’t further drag him into the mess,” Phil whispered to me.

| glanced at Zion in shock.

Why was he being investigated too? “Officer Landon... got reported,” Phil muttered.

| drew in a deep breath.

The convergence of all these events at this particular moment was definitely not a coincidence.

It appeared as if nothing was connected, but somehow, it all fit together perfectly.

So, | was taken away for questioning.

all alone now, And in the end, people would only believe what they wanted to believe.

What's more, if Michael got out of jail and learned that his mother had been hit by a car, he'd surely unleash his fury out on Steven.

“I have the right to call my lawyer. You can’t just takeaway like this.” | said, still wanting to contact Steven.

At least then, | could give him sassurance and keep him calm.

After all, | had no idea what the cops had dug up. And | was pretty clueless about Stephany’s secrets too, | rubbed my temples, feeling helpless and frustrated, What on earth had Stephany done? | wasn’t sure when the car arrived at the police station, but tflew by as the cops grilledall night, askingwhy | had Cyrus kill Yasmin.

“I really don’t know what you're talking about.” | was genuinely puzzled.

“Cyrus spilled the beans. He claimed that you were backing them up and had told him to kill Yasmin. He said that if he did so, you promised to cover Jean’s medical bills,” the cops said in a chilling tone, trying to pressure me.

I was startled.

Did Cyrus really say that? Did Stephany really do that? “No way...” | shook my head. “I couldn't have told Cyrus to go to the hospital to hurt Yasmin.” This, | was certain about.

Since | got reincarnated, | hadn't reached out to Cyrus at all. So, it couldn’t have been me.

“You better spill the beans!” The cops slammed several photos on the table in front of me. “These are the photos of you helping them out, buying them food, and taking Jean to the hospital. Let's see you try to talk your way out of this.” “I was just helping them out. What's wrong with that? What evidence do you have to prove that | instructed them? | won't confess just because of someone else's words.” | tried to remain calm.

“Stephany, | suggest you not to mess around. Cclean, work with our investigation, and try to get a fair deal.” “I didn’t tell Cyrus to kill Yasmin. It's a misunderstanding.” Just then, before the cops could say more, another officer entered and whispered Chapter 185 something to the officer questioning me.

The interrogating officer then gavea deep look before walking out.

Now, | was alone in the interrogation room, and my head was pounding.

What if Steven couldn't wait until | got back? Would he lose it? He did seem really set on waiting for me.

3/3 | wasn’t sure if Zion had told Steven about me. But if he didn’t, then Steven was probably still waiting for me.

And just like that, | spent the night at the police station.

The interrogators couldn't get any evidence out of me, so they stopped asking questions as well.

Then, | slouched in the chair and dozed off.

When | woke up, a female officer said that | could leave.

“You're done questioning me?” | asked, puzzled.

But the female officer simply ignored me.

As | left the police station, | saw Zion leaning against the car, as if he were waiting for me.

“Cyrus spilled the beans. He said Carol Kent told him to kill Yasmin,” Zion said grimly.

| felt a sudden panic. “Who's Carol Kent?” “Simeon’s sister,” Zion replied in a low voice.

| stared at Zion in shock.

Simeon'’s sister? “Don’t you think... it’s all too much of a coincidence?” | asked.

| get picked up by the cops, and then Cyrus confesses? “I looked into it. Simeon was abandoned as a kid and wound up in the orphanage with Carol. Carol's got mental disabilities. How in the world could she tell Cyrus to kill Yasmin?
