Chapter 239 Clearing the Murder Suspect 

The police officer questioning me got up and left. A few minutes later, I was led into a sealed room. There was nothing inside, just a narrow bed. 

You could probably guess without me saying, I was going to stay here, until the police found Henry’s body. 

I had originally prepared to stay here for 24 hours uninterrupted, but unexpectedly, half an hour later, the door was suddenly opened. The police outside looked at me and said, “Tabatha, come out.” 

I was puzzled and instinctively asked. “Are you going to continue 

asking?” 

The policeman didn’t say much, he just asked me to leave. 

Seeing this, I followed and went out the door. 

This time, I wasn’t taken to the interrogation room, but to an office instead, an office I was very familiar with, it was Captain Lucas’s. 

From the moment I entered until now, I hadn’t seen him. Originally, I thought he was in a hurry to find Henry’s body. 

In the office, Captain Lucas was not there. Instead, there was a tall and slender figure standing with his back to the door in front of his desk. Hearing the noise, the man turned around to look. 

Our eyes met, I was taken aback for a moment, but from the beginning, I had somewhat guessed that the person who would come would be 

him. 

Walter looked at the police oflicer who had brought me here and said, “You go ahead with your work.” 

The policeman nodded, didn’t say much, and left. 

Looking at Walter, I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say to him. 

He looked at me, his face calm, emotionless, his voice even as he said, “Didn’t scare you, did I?” 

I paused for a moment, then shook my head and asked lightly, “What are you doing here?” 

“Let me take you home,” he said, smoothly guiding me to sit on the leather sofa in the office. He poured me a cup of warm water, subtly giving off the impression that this office was his. 

Holding the water glass, I took a sip, soothing my dry lips a bit, and said, “I’m involved in a murder case, I can’t go to see my grandmother for now, you might need to handle it.” I had already promised the old lady to stay in the old house, if I suddenly disappeared, she would definitely ask. His coming had something to do with this. 

He furrowed his brows slightly, “In your eyes, am I so utilitarian? Couldn’t I have come because I was worried about you?” 

I didn’t expect him to be so blunt. I subconsciously lowered my head to drink water, avoiding his gaze. It was only a few seconds later that I said, “I’m fine.” 

I didn’t look at him, but the office was so quiet that I could clearly hear his helpless sigh. 

“You really don’t know where the body is?” He spoke, seemingly having adjusted his emotions. 

I nodded, “After Henry died, I couldn’t handle the dosage and passed 

out.”

He squinted and asked, “Was it Sebastian who hid the body?” 

My hand trembled, wanting to deny it, but before I could utter a word, he said, “If he was also involved in this matter, he couldn’t possibly be completely uninvolved now. Captain Lucas has already sent someone to find him. What you need to do now is to explain the situation without any reservation.” 

I pursed my lips, silently accepting his words in my heart.
