After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

114 No Evidence

“I think I’d prefer you to call me Miss Lambert.” Caroline stood up and shook his hand.

The police chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “I’m sorry. Although your identity is special, there are indeed suspicious points, so I hope you can cooperate with our investigation.”

“That should be the case, but I’ve already said what I should say.” Caroline wouldn’t ask for any special treatment, but she would choose to hide things that would reveal her secret.

The police chief flipped through Caroline’s statement. The most suspicious point was why she was so calm when she was facing an assassination and didn’t choose to call the police. However, considering her identity and the fact that she had just experienced an assassination yesterday, it made sense.

As for what she had done to chase after the waitress, there was no surveillance footage to prove it, so even if they suspected her, they had no evidence to accuse her of it.

The police chief put down the statement. “If it’s verified that there’s no problem with what you said, you can leave.”

“I believe that with the police’s ability, you will be able to find out the truth very quickly,” Caroline said politely.

The police chief went out of the room, and the old police officer chased after him. “Chief, there must be something wrong with this woman. She’s hiding something. We can’t just let her go like this.”

The police chief sighed. “Franky, I know there’s something wrong with her even without you telling me, but do you have any evidence?” Just like how Caroline had said that she had been attacked at the Anderson family’s house yesterday, he did not dare to ask about the assassin’s fate after the failure of the operation, or whether they had escaped or fallen into the hands of the Anderson family.

If they could catch her in public doing something bad, they could still use that as an excuse to hold her back. But at the moment, they didn’t have any evidence to prove that Miss Lambert was the one who had done it, so they could only let her go.

Franky was unwilling, but he knew that the director was telling the truth.

The front desk suddenly called. “Chief, the young master of the Anderson family is here.”

The chief took a deep breath. “Let’s go. The real trouble is here.”

Edwin brought his men into the police station. After seeing the chief, he didn’t pay any attention to his small talk and directly asked the lawyer to present the evidence.

“Hello, Chief Byron. This is the surveillance camera we retrieved from the department store. It just so happened to capture the victim’s death. Although the video is a little unclear due to the distance, it’s clear that this crime has nothing to do with Miss Lambert.”

The lawyer took out his laptop and played the surveillance video. The video showed that after the waitress came out from the back door, she talked to a tall man. Then, the tall man took out his gun and shot the waitress twice. Both shots were aimed at the heart. It was obvious that he had a killing intent.

Caroline, who was chasing after the waitress, didn’t appear at the back door at all, so she could be ruled out as a suspect.

“Secondly, due to the police’s misjudgment, my client has suffered great pressure from public opinion. Hence, I have the right to request the police to produce relevant evidence to prove my client’s innocence.”

It turned out that because the barbeque restaurant was near the school, many students ate there. After the murder, many students saw Caroline being taken away by the police in public. This scene was photographed and uploaded to the internet, immediately causing a huge uproar.

In less than an hour, various versions of the reason for murder had been derived.

The most supported version was about the dead waitress, who was one of Edwin’s secret lovers. Caroline found out about it before the engagement, so she brought her men to the waitress to teach her a lesson. However, she accidentally killed someone. The store owner was so angry that he called the police, and Caroline was arrested.

When the police chief saw the speculations on the internet, he could not help but feel even more troubled. “I’m sorry, we were too rash in this matter. We will reveal the truth.”

Edwin glanced at him. “Since she’s no longer a suspect, can I take her away?”

“Sure, sure.” The police chief looked at Franky and signaled him to bring Caroline out.

Franky looked at how respectful the chief was to Young Master Anderson and felt a little upset. However, he also knew that if even the chief had to be respectful to him, he, as a small police officer, would not have the strength to resist.

Franky opened the door of the interrogation room and said to Caroline, “You can leave now.”
