Chapter 662: 219: Facing reality, Edward Thompson breaks down! _3
Edward Thompson shook his head.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the interrogation room.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Come in,” Officer Blogger slightly raised his head.
After receiving a response, a figure walked in from outside, “Officer Blogger, there’s a new discovery.”
Officer Blogger immediately caught on and walked out.
“Jocelyn, what’s the new discovery?”
Jocelyn glanced at Officer Blogger and continued, “We found a video of Edward Thompson and the deceased having a conflict in the living room surveillance camera at Sylvia Thompson’s house.”
“Take me to see it,” Officer Blogger immediately followed Jocelyn’s footsteps.
Upon arriving at the office, Jocelyn asked a colleague to show Officer Blogger the surveillance video.
In the footage, Edward Thompson’s emotions had completely lost control, and he even took a kitchen knife out of the kitchen and tried to kill James in a fit of rage.
Fortunately, Sylvia Thompson snatched the knife from Edward Thompson’s hand. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
At the end, Edward Thompson made a threat, pointing at James and saying, “If you dare bully Sylvia again, I will kill you!”
After watching the entire video, Officer Blogger rubbed his chin, “It seems that Edward Thompson had the motive to kill.”
Officer Blogger then asked, “Which day is this video from?”
“It’s from three days ago,” Jocelyn replied.
Officer Blogger nodded.
Jocelyn looked up at Officer Blogger and continued, “I also think that Edward Thompson had the motive to kill. After all, he hated James so much. Plus, if Sylvia hadn’t stopped him that day, he might have already killed James!”
Officer Blogger narrowed his eyes, “People tend to have impulsive moments. After that impulse passes, they won’t have those thoughts anymore! Go investigate who the deceased has recently met with! Also, investigate the deceased’s social relations and get that Maureen Fitzell over here to make a statement.”
Maureen Fitzell is Sylvia Thompson’s best friend.
Soon after, Maureen Fitzell, one of the witnesses, was summoned to the police station.
“What’s your name?”
“Maureen Fitzell.”
Ling was one of the officers handling the case as well.
She and Oliver Andrews sat at the interrogation table, looking at Maureen Fitzell’s information, then looked at Maureen Fitzell and asked, “Age?”
“Nineteen,” Maureen Fitzell felt a bit nervous coming to the police station to make a statement for the first time, and she occasionally looked up at the officer beside her.
She felt a bit nervous and excited as well.
Since she was a child, she had always admired soldiers and police officers, but she could only catch a glimpse of them from afar. She never imagined that she would be so close to her idols today.
Ling continued, “What is your relationship with Sylvia Thompson?”
“We’re college classmates and best friends,” Maureen Fitzell replied.
Ling then asked, “The questions I’m going to ask you next are very important. Be sure to answer them truthfully. If you fabricate the facts and cover up for the suspect, you will face legal consequences. Do you understand?”
“Understood,” Maureen Fitzell nodded.
After making sure there were no issues with Maureen Fitzell, Ling asked the first question, “Can you tell me who you were with from 5 PM to 10 PM last night?”
“I was with Sylvia.”
“Are you sure?” Ling asked.
“Very sure.”
Ling squinted her eyes and asked again, “When did you meet her, and when did she leave your house?”
Maureen Fitzell fell into thoughts, then continued, “I think it was Friday morning when I received a WhatsApp message from Sylvia. She said there would be a power outage in their community on Saturday, so we decided to hang out together. We met around noon, had lunch together, and even watched a movie in between. We had dinner together at night and took a walk by the river. Back at my place, we sat on the couch chatting. She didn’t want to go back home that night. In the end, she seemed to receive a phone call, saying that something had happened to her father, and then she left.”
Since this incident happened only a day ago, Maureen Fitzell remembered the details very clearly.
Hearing this, Ling asked, “Do you remember the expression on Sylvia’s face when she received the phone call?”
“Very surprised!” Maureen Fitzell continued, “She suddenly stood up from the couch, her face completely pale. I asked if she needed me to take her back, but she declined and went back alone. How would I have known her father was in trouble? If I had known her father was going to have an accident, I would definitely have accompanied her back home!”
