Chapter 206

Second Precinct.

Karl hadn't slept all night and strong tiredness hit him. He leaned his

back against the seat, propped one hand on his forehead, and wanted

to take a nap.

Until a police officer gently woke him up, “Karl, Charlotte of the Heath

family, the person involved in Stephanie's case, came to take a

statement. Do you want to take notes yourself?"

Karl jerked out of his deep sleep, waking up quickly, he shook his head

off and said back, "Hmm."

The officer reminded, "The Heath family sent a special car to bring her

here." He pointed to the overbearing military bulletproof car parked

outside the door, with so many people at the police station milling

around.

"I have invited Charlotte to the cubicle, waiting for you to make a

statement. Ensign Ricky, who went with her to the Warner family that

day, never entered or exited the house according to the surveillance, so

there should be nothing wrong with him. Is it okay if I just take the

record?" The police officer asked.

Karl raised his eyes, he glanced in the direction the officer pointed at

Ricky, who was wearing his military uniform, looking majestic and

imposing. This person looked introverted and patient, and he could not

see what could be on his mind, and he must be quite close to the Heath

family.

He was a little confused. Since they came to the police station to make

a statement, they could have been low-key, but with the bulletproof

military vehicle, what could they want to do? The Heath family wanted

to show their muscle in front of the police? Of course, the Heath family

did have enough power to control the police station.

"Yes." Karl obliged.

He stood up and walked over to the cubicle where Charlotte was.

In the cubicle, a police officer had already made her hand-ground

coffee, which was still steaming hot.

Charlotte smiled and thanked him.

Karl glanced at Charlotte. He should have met her in the Lauren case,

but was not impressed. Today, when he looked at her again, she was

just like any little girl, gentle and soft, and at first glance, he could not

see any problem.

When Charlotte saw Karl approaching, she quickly stood up and

greeted him, "Hello, Officer Karl."

The face that was just smiling and thanking suddenly turned sad and

she choked up and said, "Officer Karl, I heard on the phone that

Stephanie passed away. How is that possible? When I left that day, she

was fine. I just heard that she was killed by Joyce?"

Karl returned coldly, “There's not enough evidence to close the case.

Stephanie was indeed killed, but it is still too early to tell who the killer

is."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I should not say that much." Charlotte ducked her head

awkwardly and twisted the hem of her dress helplessly.

"Tell me about the day, what did you go to the Warner family for?" Karl

opened his computer and took routine notes.

"Grandma just called me over for tea and a chat," Charlotte said back.

“It's not that simple, is it? Mr. Arnold just came by and took a statement.

I looked it up, and Stephanie purposely gave him two days off, while

keeping everyone in the family from home at that time. I think

Stephanie did it so that she could see someone alone, and that

someone is you, right?" Karl cut to the chase.

A flash of worry came across her watery eyes. Karl did have sharp

eyes.

She quickly calmed down, "I'm not sure. Jacqueline arranged for me to

go to the Warner family at 12 noon on Saturday and said Grandma

wanted to see me, so I went on time."

"You stayed at the Warner family for about an hour. What were you

doing during that time?" Karl asked again.

"A homely chat, asking how my mother is and what she likes to do in

general, and that's all," Charlotte replied according to what she had

discussed with Ricky beforehand.

"Was there anything unusual about Stephanie at the time?" Karl raised

his eyes.
