Malcolm looked collected as if he was sure to win.
He glanced at Chad, who was taking notes next to him, and instructed him to record every word as much as possible.
Chad nodded.
Tom began to explain, "Mr. Shane did imprison Mrs. Callahan and Miss Melissa. He purchased a batch of drugs on Dark Net. You have two. But I do not know the specific name of the drugs and the way of operation. I only know that Mr. Shane initially imprisoned Mrs. Callahan and administered the drugs to her in order to get the power of Callahan family ."
"Because of the full support of the Combs' Group, Mr. Shane could snatch the power from the hands of his brothers. Mr. Shane has said since his father brought back Mr. Anthony and asked to have Mr. Anthony's name in the family tree, Mrs. Callahan had some mental problems. So he gave her some drugs. It would not be discovered by anyone ..."
Chad snorted lightly as he felt angry about what he said.
"He did hide it quite well. Since he got the power, it had not been noticed for so many years. If not because he is getting more and more unrestrained, he dares to do the same trick to Melissa. I am afraid that the secret of the penthouse of Callahan Residence will not be revealed until now."
Malcolm was sullen and tapped the table lightly. His tone was cold, "Go on. About Mrs. Callahan's death, what's going on?"
Tom sighed in regret, "I really don't know about this. The day after the party, Mr. Shane just instructed me to bring people to destroy all suspicious things on the top floor. Mrs. Callahan really died unexpectedly in the late night."
Malcolm pondered, straightened the cuffs of his uniform and looked to Chad, "Continue to listen. All times and places he mentions must be as detailed and accurate as possible. The transcript should be complete. Later to put together the testimony of all people and hand it to my table."
"Yes."
After Chad answered, he got up, left the suspect room and called Ted in.
"Search Callahan Residence again, especially focus on Shane's bedroom and the study. Nothing suspicious should be left untouched."
Ted had just left the room when Malcolm's cell phone rang, with the caller ID of [Dear].
After seeing the ID, he barely hesitated and immediately answered the phone.
"What happen?"
Lyra, on the other side of the phone, said with joy, "Honey, we got the Melissa's mental identification. There are obvious signs of being hypnotized. I compile them with the appraiser's results. Now I'm at the door of the bureau."
Malcolm was slightly startled, "You came over to deliver the documents yourself?"
"Well, but it seems I can't just enter such an important place, right?"
Malcolm immediately went downstairs and jogged over to the door, "Stay where you are. I'll be right out to get you."
He ran while sniffing his sleeves to check if there was any obvious smell of smoke.
When he came to the door, the familiar slim figure was pacing back and forth.
He stepped forward, quickly walked over and carried up his petite wife.
"You were so tired last night. Why don't you sleep more? And personally came over to run errands to deliver the evidence."
Lyra: "Keith is in the lab accompanying with Melissa. I'm redundant to stay there anyway, so I stop by to help him send over the evidence for you."
Malcolm casually glanced at it, pursed his lips and smiled, "Very good, plus the evidence in my hands, Shane will be convicted from imprisoning and illegal hypnosis."
Lyra cupped his face with her hands, kissed on his lips sweetly, and praised him, "You're so good."
Malcolm furrowed his eyebrows, and was not quite satisfied.
"Just so good?"
Lyra raised her eyebrows, "What? If I compliment you more, I'm afraid you'll be haughty."
Malcolm grunted and whispered to her, "It seems you're not completely satisfied with me, so I will go back tonight and promise to serve you well. Then you can see how great your husband."
She laughed and her eyes looked bright and pretty.
Malcolm: "It's almost noon. It's your first time to be here. I'll show you around my office and you can try the food cooked by the chef."
