Chapter 210
The car that had hit Harold the other day was actually part of a planned accident.
The police and members of the Winters family had searched for him in the city, but the driver’s car had fallen into the moat. By the time they discovered him, rigor mortis had set in.
The police were highly concerned about the case, and they were still searching for clues.
“My son was kind and timid. He would never go and harm someone! It’s her! She gave my son a lot of money and instructed him to commit the crime! My poor son! He died just like that!” The police interrogated the woman sternly. “You mentioned that Ms. Daugherty went to see your son. When exactly did it happen, and where was it?”
“It was at about 9.00 pm, right in front of my house.” The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and cried. “I didn’t see her, but my neighbor saw her.”
The police looked at Adina. “What were you doing at about 9.00 pm that night?” Adina chuckled. “I was on the phone with a pianist, Mr. Albert. You can check my alibi.” Melody had become Mr. Albert’s student, so he would teach her via video call at 9.00 pm every night, and she would also accompany Melody for piano practice. After the police spent half an hour obtaining Mr. Albert’s testimony, Adina was acquitted. However, the middle-aged woman was involved in the development of the case, so the police kept her behind for the ongoing interrogation. When Adina stood outside the police station, a cold breeze blew over her, and her mind became clearer. If the middle-aged woman was telling the truth, it meant that a good-looking woman had approached the driver. In Sea City, only one beautiful woman seemed to resemble her: Dew! Did Dew go to the driver?
Did Dew want to kill Harold?
Why?
