The police office
Sunny, the wife of Chuck, was a young woman in her 30s, wearing a light make-up, which made her mature and charming. She ruffled her hair in an exceedingly fascinating way then she said, “Sir, I’ll answer all your questions as long as I can.”
Her almond-shaped eyes fixed directly on the two policemen, which made the two a little embarrassed, then one of them cleared his throat and questioned, “Do you know why we ask you here?”
She curled her lip and smiled, “ It’s about Chuck.”
The police were so satisfied with her attitude that they decided to warn her, “ We hope you can cooperate with our work. Under the current situation, you are not involved in this case, so you will not be implicated in it finally as long as you cooperate with us well.”
The woman supported her chin with one hand, with a ready attitude, “Let’s start!”
The policeman took out two photos from the portfolio and pushed them in front of Sunny, “Do you know the man?”
The woman looked at it carefully, then shook her head decidedly, “Although he was quite handsome, I don’t know him.”
The policeman put down the photo, “But Chuck, a fitness coach, said it was yours and the man in the photo could be your lover.” Then the policeman examined her expression carefully.
Listening to this, Sunny sneered disdainfully, “Sir, I don’t usually work out, so how could I know a fitness coach?”
She paused for a while, then she said as if she had remembered something, “I eavesdropped on his phone the other day. He said he was looking for a fitness coach, who, I guess, may be the one you said.”
“Do you know where the man is now?”
Sunny shook her head, “ How could I know?”
“Who may know about the man?”The police asked because now Chuck and all his men, especially his capable assistant were captured.
“If this man is caught, he must be confined in the warehouse of Fisherman’s Wharf. Dirk Hand, nicknamed Plane, must know about this man.”
“We have questioned him. He didn’t say anything.”
Sunny smiled, “Sir, if possible, you can arrange for me to meet him, and I will persuade him to cooperate with you.”
“Are you sure?” The policeman was a little dubious.
“I am sure about it. Let me try it.”
Seeing that she was full of confidence, the police arranged for her a meeting immediately as she said.
The meeting room.
Sunny clasped her hands tightly and lowered her head, hiding her mixed mind. She thought that everything would went smoothly and be successful eventually, as long as she gave Plane the thing when they met.
The approaching sound of footsteps interrupted her thought. Then Plane came in and the policeman stood at the door. The room was installed many cameras on the ceilings to observe prisons at any time.
When Sunny and Plane sat down, Plane saw the woman and was surprised, “Why are you here?”
There were strong affection in Sunny’s eyes, “I miss you. Chuck deserved it, but how could he got me into trouble.”
Plane frowned, “ Be watchful about your words.”
Then Sunny lowered her voice and muttered, “ I was right. He took the money, and you were be implicated by him.”
Plane had a thought of it and he said, “I have supposed the outcome since I choose the way.”
There was a serious expression on Sunny’s face, “Listen to me, you can be a tainted witness to accuse Chuck.”
With some amazement, Plane was a little hesitant and was silent for a moment.
“You are clear that he is the chief plotter and you are just working for him. If you are a tainted witness, you can apply for a mitigation of sentence and will be out earlier, so we can have a earlier union.”
