Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 640

“The chain of evidence against Tim is complete and airtight. Whether he confesses or not, he can be convicted,” Bennett stated impassively.

“We’ve already handed the case over to the prosecutor’s office. The sentence will likely be either death or a suspended death sentence,” Bruce said. “But it doesn't look like he’ll implicate Vincent.”

Bennett nodded in agreement. “It’s a death sentence for Tim whether he talks or not. He has a wife and kids. If he dies, Vincent might take care of them out of some sense of loyalty. But if the entire Walker family falls, his own family will go down with them.”

Bruce’s expression darkened. The investigation would likely end with Tim.

It was frustrating, but there was nothing they could do.

“The arm of the law is long. As long as Vincent continues to commit crimes, we’ll find the evidence eventually,” Bennett offered as a word of comfort.

“I know,” Bruce nodded, well aware that some things couldn’t be rushed.

“Calling you out this late… you probably haven’t eaten. Come on, have a drink with me,” Bruce said, clapping Bennett on the shoulder.

Bennett stood up and followed Bruce out.

As Bruce and Bennett walked out of the station, a car with prominent government plates pulled up to the curb.

Bennett frowned slightly as the car door opened and Vincent hurried out, his secretary trailing behind him.

Vincent still held a high-ranking position, several levels above Bruce, who had no choice but to adopt a deferential tone and greet him first. “Mr. Walker.”

“Mr. Walker,” Bennett echoed politely.

“Just a joke,” Bruce said, his respectful demeanor returning. “The arrest was carried out according to proper procedure, and the case is currently under investigation. Family members are not yet permitted to see the suspect. However, if you would like a briefing on the situation, I can have one of my men report to you.”

With that, Bruce handed Vincent off to one of the detectives on the case.

Vincent’s focus was entirely on Tim, so he didn’t argue further with Bruce and quickly followed the detective into the police station.

After watching Vincent disappear inside, Bennett and Bruce found a mid-range restaurant nearby.

Bruce was clearly a regular. The waiter showed them to a small private room and served them the restaurant’s specialties along with a bottle of strong liquor.

Bennett sat with Bruce, drinking and chatting.
