Chapter 186

Karl took out his log book and and pen. Then he looked at his watch

and said to Juanita, "I have things to take care of, so hurry up and tell

me what you know, in detail.”

Juanita sat in the seat across from him and grunted, "That's the kind of

professional ethic you need."

“Let's get started.” Karl raised his long eyelashes slightly, ready to

record.

“No coffee?" Juanita looked up and around and questioned, "I see that

other police officers have offered coffee, or tea, to the people being

questioned. That's not very good service from you. We're all

taxpayers."

Karl took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He stood up, went

to the coffee machine and made a cup of instant coffee, walked back

and put it in front of Juanita, "Okay? Can we start now?"

Juanita's soulful eyes cooed around, pretending to take two sips and

began, "Today Joyce went to R&S Group headquarters for her work,

and she arrived at the office around 11:00 am. This is the extra work

arranged by Casey. I had nothing to do, so I went to the group to

accompany her. By 4:00 pm, Joyce finished the work at hand. She said

she was going to the supermarket today to buy groceries and go home

to make dinner for grandma. So she let me go first.”

She paused and thought back, "About half an hour or so later, I was

shopping and suddenly got a call from Joyce. She said she was too late

to explain, and she had returned to the Warner family. She said I should

wait about 20 minutes, and if she called me within 20 minutes, it meant

she was fine. If she went beyond that time, she told me to call the

police. When I didn't hear from her, I called the police.”

Karl was typing rapidly into the computer, taking notes.

Juanita added, "I think she must have realized that there was danger

inside the Warner family before she called me." Suddenly she stood up

and looked nervous. “She just can't be the murderer. You just have no

idea how nice she was to Stephanie. She grew up in an orphanage and

now she took Stephanie as her only family. She saved Stephanie's life.

The two of them, Jacqueline and Shelly, were afraid that she would

fight for her fortune, and they have been pushing her around. This time

they will definitely seize the opportunity to frame her. Just a few days

ago, Shelly also framed Joyce and accused her of leaking a car design

to a competitor, the Ballard group. Joyce had been lucky enough to get

prepared beforehand and Shelly did not get what she want. You must

not listen to them.”

"Thank you for the important information. Personal speculation will not

be necessary. The law is about evidence, and we'll be the judge of

that." Karl said seriously.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, “I should go in and

question Joyce, and you can go ahead and contact me again if you

remember any useful information.” After saying that, he stood up.

"Wait a minute." Juanita reached out and took his arm with a pleading

look, "Can I see her for a second? Please.”

She showed a pitiful and begging look like a little rabbit. The small lion

showing her teeth and claws just now was completely gone.

Karl was stunned by how quickly he changed his face.

“I'm sorry, but the security footage is currently against Joyce, and she is

now indeed quite high in the list of suspects. You can't see her until we

find out the truth." Karl rebuffed.

"Just ten minutes? Two minutes? Okay?" Juanita wouldn't relent.

"No." Karl was decisive, “I'm sorry, I'm going to the interrogation room.

Please get out of the way."
