Officer Matthew gave an honest reply, "Yes, based on Ms. Grist's identification, they are the primary suspects."
"But Ms. Chapman purchased the facial cream, and she was the one who took it out. What does it have to do with Ms. Jenner?
"Isn't this a subjective and arbitrary judgment based solely on one person's word?
"Is this how the police academy teaches you to handle cases?"
Officer Matthew felt sweat forming on his nose.
Carter let out a light chuckle. "Of course, I'm just a doctor and shouldn't interfere with your police work. How you handle this case is entirely up to you, Officer Matthew. I only hope that the impact on our hospital can be minimized."
Even if Officer Matthew were as dense as a block of wood, he could still sense the implications in Carter's words. He observed how Carter protected the girl named Lina behind him, taking a protective stance...
Instantly, Officer Matthew straightened up and assumed a more respectful posture than when facing his superiors. He shouted loudly, "Understood!"
Carter nodded, giving a slight smile.
Officer Matthew made a gesture and commanded, "Take the suspect, Gia Chapman, away!"
"What?" Gia's eyes widened. "Why should I be taken away? And... what about Lina? Why aren't you taking her?
"Hey, you can't arrest people randomly... Let go of me!"
Unfortunately, no matter how she struggled and protested, the police officers held her firmly, and her voice gradually faded away as she was taken down the corridor.
Lina's mind went blank, but a thought suddenly crossed her mind. Was it actually her that Gia wanted to harm?
Thinking about it sent a shiver down her spine.
Amidst the fear, she also felt a sense of sadness. She couldn't comprehend why Gia held such deep resentment toward her. How did their once inseparable friendship reach this point?
"Mr. Irwin, the situation has been resolved, so we won't disturb your rest," Officer Matthew respectfully informed.
Carter turned his head and caught sight of the miserable girl. He was curious about how she ended up wearing the bangle and what had happened to her classmate, whose face was wrapped in bandages.
