My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595 

“W-Who killed her? Have you found the murderer?” Horace roared as 

he clenched his fists, emotions spiking. 

Jupiter had not expected Horace to confess immediately. He took a sip of his tea and asked calmly, “Where were you last night?” 

Face red with anger, Horace glared at Jupiter and asked, “Are you suspecting me of killing my girlfriend?” 

Jupiter slammed the table, his tone rising as he shouted, “Answer my 

question!” 

Clearly frightened, Horace leaned back in his chair obediently and 

replied, “I was at Starry Sky Bar with a client last night!” 

“Who was your client? Roughly what time were you there?” 

Horace looked up at Jupiter. “I can’t disclose anything about my 

client.” 

Jupiter sneered. “So, you’re not going to cooperate?” 

Having calmed himself by now, Horace merely replied, “You can only detain me for 24 hours without evidence. By then, be prepared to receive a letter from my lawyer.” 

At the man’s denial, Angelica coldly said, “It’s because we have 

evidence that we arrested you. Your cooperation may lead to more lenient sentencing. If you resist, the severity might only increase. 

“If you confess now and show remorse, you might even have a 

chance of suspending your death sentence.” 

At the mention of a suspended death sentence, Horace’s pupils 

shrunk faintly. 

Jupiter caught this slight change in his expression. He took another sip of water from his thermos and followed up on what Angelica said, 

“You know Geordi and Sorn, right?” 

Horace nodded and admitted, “Yes, we’re from the same village.” 

“Did you meet each other yesterday?” Jupiter continued and Horace 

shook his head at that. 

“No, we haven’t met for a long time.” 

Π 

Jupiter smiled. “All of you share the same hometown and ended up here in Jonford. Yet, you’ve not met up with them for a long time?” 

Jupiter did not trust a suspect’s words, especially someone like Horace, who seemed to be putting on an act from the beginning. 

“There’s a lot going on in my company. I don’t have time to catch up 

with them,” Horace replied, his demeanor calming considerably. On 

the surface, he appeared unperturbed. 

Jupiter took out his phone and made a call. “Check the surveillance records at Starry Sky Bar last night for Horace.” He then hung up the 

phone. 

In the monitoring room, Melody and the others were watching things unfold in the interrogation room via the surveillance footage. 

Finn’s brows were furrowed as he pondered, “If Horace is indeed the elusive murderer who has slipped the police for three years, why 

would he suddenly leave such obvious evidence on Lori this time?” 

Melody crossed her arms and echoed his thoughts, “And he’s been in 

Jonford all this time.” 

Finn sighed. “There’s too many things that aren’t adding up. I’m not 

convinced that Horace is the murderer.” 

Hera wiped away her tears and choked out the words, “All the 

evidence is there. If it’s not him, then who could it be?” 

Finn smiled wryly. “Evidence can be fabricated, you know. Let’s not speculate and let the professionals handle it.” 

Melody gave Finn a sidelong glance. 

Soon, Jupiter received the surveillance footage from Starry Sky Bar on
