The few officers were stunned for a moment before they realized that they had missed a clue in the case. “Who is Tim?” one of the interrogators asked.
Tina was handcuffed and secured to her seat, so she couldn’t move her limbs at all. On top of that, there were a lot of officers staring at her; she felt like she was about to drown in fear. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape her punishment since the two videos were still circulating around on the Internet. If she continued to deny her involvement, she knew that it would only worsen her punishment. From the moment she was brought into the police car, she had decided that she would come clean about everything. At the same time, she decided that she would drag Tim down with her.
She and Tim were in it together, after all. The people, the location, and the tools were all prepared by Tim, and she was merely the one who gave him the orders. Why should I shoulder all of the charges since that was the case? Tim has to go down with me as well! Furthermore, she was Tim’s angel, so she figured that Tim wouldn’t be mad at her if she uttered his name during the interrogation.
With that thought in mind, she continued speaking as she stared at the policemen with her bloodshot eyes. “He’s a surgeon in First World Hospital. He was the one who found the six men.”
“In that case, I want you guys to drop by the hospital to bring this person called Tim in.” The main interrogator gave orders to the officers behind him, and two officers nodded before they left the interrogation room. Tina felt much better once she saw that they were actually going to capture Tim.
Soon enough, the police brought Tim back to the station. He wasn’t placed in the same room as Tina was; he was questioned in a separate room instead. His interrogator was the same police officer who had brought him in from the hospital. “Mr. Lancaster, Tina claims that you were involved in the plan to harm Sonia. She stated that you were the one who hired the six men. Do you admit to your crimes?”
Tim hadn’t had a chance to take off his white lab coat when he first arrived at the station. Like Tina, his limbs were secured to the chair. However, he didn’t seem the least bit bothered by his surroundings, and he remained calm as he responded in a nonchalant tone. “I don’t. I’m not involved in scheming against Sonia, and I’ve never hired any men to do anything. I don’t have anything against Sonia, so why would I do such a thing?”
The interrogator fell silent for a while. The officers from the station had looked up Tim’s personal connections before they brought Tim in, and they found that he didn’t have any disputes with Sonia in the past. It would be a stretch to say that he had any intent to harm Sonia. However, it didn’t make sense for Tina to lie. She wouldn’t come up with a fake story even if she was just trying to reduce her sentence. If that were the case, then the man they had just brought in must have lied.
After contemplating the situation for a while more, the police officer spun his pen in his fingers as he continued to question Tim. “According to what we know, you have a close relationship with Tina. Tina despises Sonia, and she attempted to attack Sonia, so it’s possible that you agreed to be a part of it since you were good friends with Tina.”
The surface of Tim’s glasses reflected the light in the room for a split second before he lifted his head to speak. “You’re right. It is possible for me to help her out since I’m a good friend of hers, but where is the evidence of me doing that? You guys are defaming me if you don’t have evidence to suggest that I’m guilty. I can actually report you for that.”
The police officer frowned as silence filled the room once more. He’s right. We don’t have any evidence. I really don’t know what to do with this guy. As he scratched the back of his head, the police officer waved at one of his colleagues beside him. “Can you go next door to ask Officer Chase if he managed to get anything out of Tina? I need some evidence to prove that Tim is an accomplice in this case.”
“Alright.” The officer took one look at Tim before he headed out of the room. However, he came back just two minutes later to shake his head at the main interrogator. They didn’t have any proof to show that Tim was involved. The officer standing in front of Tim had no idea what to do with Tim then.
When they first captured Tina the night before, they went through the whole case without spotting anything that had to do with Tim. They only found out about the existence of such an individual after Tina had revealed his name in their session with her. That only showed that the police wouldn’t have found out about anyone else’s involvement if Tina hadn’t mentioned his name. In other words, the police wouldn’t be able to do anything about the accomplice even if they knew that he was part of the case. They didn’t have any implicating evidence that would allow them to arrest Tim. Even Tina, the main conspirator, didn’t have any evidence at all.
“What should we do now? Should we continue questioning him?” the officer who had gone out earlier asked the main interrogator in the room. The main interrogator in charge of Tim got to his feet. “What do you think? Of course not! Let’s go next door for now,” he uttered in a frustrated voice. The both of them headed out and left Tim alone in the room. A sly smirk formed on Tim’s lips as he watched the officers walking out.
Freddie Chase narrowed his eyes when he saw the other two officers walking into the room. “How did it go?”
The two officers shook their heads. Freddie wasn’t surprised by this, and he turned back to Tina immediately. “We’ve tried to question Tim, Miss Gray. He doesn’t admit to being involved in any of your crimes against Miss Reed.”
