The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2063

Chapter 2063 Something Is Fishy About This

In the police station, Bill drank double the coffee to stay awake and had the officers take Winnie back to the holding cell, stopping the interrogation.

He then questioned the two officers in charge of the interrogation, but the results were disappointing.

Winnie had an incredibly strong mental fortitude. No matter how they interrogated her, her expression remained calm.

Bill had been observing her pupils during the interrogation but still got nothing.

“I've seen this type of suspect before. They've been doing this for too many years, so their conscience and morals have been numbed. They constantly self-hypnotize themselves with a clean memory to suppress the truth. That's how they can appear so calm during an interrogation—they truly don’t think they've done anything wrong,” Bill explained to the young officers.

He then added, “Of course, we can't wrongly accuse anyone. If we don't have any new evidence by tomorrow, we'll have to let her go!”

Both officers nodded. One of them asked, “If time is of the essence, why did we suddenly stop the interrogation?”

Bill checked his watch and nodded. "It's one in the morning now. Let's give her two hours of rest before we launch another interrogation. At that time, she should be at her most exhausted state, and it'll perhaps lead to a breakthrough!”

Realization dawned on the two officers. If the suspect was on guard, the interrogation would be ineffective no matter what methods they used.

Bill had no plans to sleep that night.

By the time dawn broke, Bill and the two officers were all yawning, but the interrogation record in the case file gave no valuable leads. They had hoped the interrogation would reveal some flaws in Winnie's story, which they could use to find evidence.
