The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1465

"Mrs. Grant, that’s all the clues we know for now. You should head back and rest. We'll inform you when there’s news."

I nodded and got up numbly. Theo tried to support me from the back, but a split second later, Chief Royce spoke.

"Please wait, Mr. Grant. We still have questions for you."

I looked back warily, unsure why the police officers only wanted him to stay.

I knew the police officers had their reasons for doing so, but Theo and I were a married couple and I was Munchkin's legal guardian, so why did Chief Royce want to speak to him in private?

Please don't get me wrong, Mrs. Grant. We just need to ask Mr. Grant something. It's a routine investigation."

This was even more puzzling.

"Didn’t you already ask about it before?

Why do you need a separate investigation now?"

Chief Royce's eyes looked slightly dazed. He looked at me, then at Theo, seemingly a little hesitant to speak.

“Please don't worry, Mrs. Grant. This is a part of the procedure. We investigate everyone the same way."

“But you've asked more than once." I was starting to get angry.

“Yes, but to investigate the person involved in each case repeatedly is also part of the process. We seek your understanding, Mrs. Grant."

I was starting to get a little annoyed by his way of handling official business.

"Understanding? You're always asking me to be more understanding, yet what are you doing? I don’t see you going out searching for my son. You're always here investigating this and investigating that. Now, you're investigating us?"

Chief Royce did not answer.

I sat back in my seat. "You want to investigate, right? Investigate me too, then. We're a family anyway. If you want to ask anything, then ask in front of me to save you the trouble of having to do the transcription later."
