After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!-Chapter 112 - Suspicion

112 Suspicion

Because there were too many people peeking at her, it was impossible to distinguish them unless the other party’s eyes were very special, such as a gaze full of malice or an extremely oppressive gaze.

It was different for trained killers. When the target was not close to them, they would deliberately restrain their aura and pretend to be ordinary people. Therefore, even professional criminal police officers would sometimes fall into confusion and not recognize them in a crowd.

What was troublesome was that in such a shop, there were only customers. Even if Caroline recognized the other party, she did not dare to say it out loud. She was afraid that the customers would cause a commotion if they knew. This would give the murderer an opportunity. Please visit 𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m

Therefore, after the waitress left, the smile on Caroline’s face immediately disappeared. From the reflection of the metal object, she saw that the waitress had no intention of continuing to serve the customers. Instead, she went straight to the back of the kitchen.

Caroline changed her direction and walked toward the back kitchen. She hurriedly opened the escape stairs and saw the door leading to the back door shaking slightly. She had an idea and walked over quietly. She pressed on the back door and tried to go out to see what was going on.

Suddenly, two gunshots were heard from the back door. Caroline’s movements stopped. Then, she slowly backed away from the back door and turned back to the lobby on the first floor.

Fifteen minutes later, someone knocked on the door of Caroline’s private room. “Hello, police. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

“Ling!” Eva looked at the uniforms of these people and felt a little panicked.

Caroline patted her hand from across the table and comforted her. “It’s alright. Do you still remember what I told you?”

Eva nodded uneasily. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

“Good child.” Caroline gave her a thumbs up and praised her.

“Please leave the private room,” the police urged her again, and Caroline had no choice but to stand up and walk out. “I’m sorry, but before you confirm my charges, I think I have the right to ask you to be a little more polite.”

“We have just confirmed that a waitress was killed in the back alley of the store. According to our investigation, the only person who had physical contact with her before the accident was you. Also, from the surveillance camera, the contact between the two of you was not very pleasant. After that, the waitress walked into the back alley, and you followed her closely. So, the police now suspect that you are directly related to the murder. Please cooperate with our investigation and evidence collection work.”

Caroline didn’t expect herself to be so unlucky. She just randomly picked a barbecue restaurant and she was involved in an assassination and murder case.

Or perhaps, on second thought, she might have heard the word ‘barbeque restaurant’ at the school’s staircase. Someone might have said it on purpose to leave an impression in her memory, so that she would subconsciously choose this barbeque restaurant when she thought about eating.

“Ling!” Eva ran out. Seeing Caroline being taken away, she almost wanted to hit them, but Caroline shook her head at her and stopped her.

One of the police officers saw the two of them communicating with their eyes and was afraid that they would secretly pass on information, so he stood in front of Caroline and blocked her view.

“I’m sorry. I believe you can see that there’s something wrong with this child. I don’t feel at ease leaving her alone in the store, so can you help me contact a guardian?”

The police took a closer look at Eva and saw that the ignorance and confusion in her eyes didn’t seem to be fake. Thus, they agreed to let the shop owner contact Danika and ask her to come out and take Eva home. Caroline was brought directly to the police station for questioning.

“Tell me about your relationship with the deceased,” the police officer asked as soon as he came up.

Caroline shook her head honestly. “I don’t know her. Today is my first time meeting her.”

The police officer frowned. “If it’s the first time you’ve met, why did you get into a conflict?”

Caroline shrugged. “I don’t understand either. The corridor is so wide. Why did she have to walk in the same direction as me so many times? Considering that she was still holding something in her hand, I stopped and let her go first.”

The police officer obviously didn’t believe her. “If it’s just because of this conflict, why did she point a knife at you?”
