Chapter 894

The Capital Police Department Headquarters.

The police headquarters in the Capital was actually not as grand as the

Khebury station. It was located in an old building, several meters high,

empty and remote, dark and damp, yet she appreciated the heavy and

simple beauty of the overall environment.

After all, Khebury was the richest city in Pascaylia, and the Capital was

the center of power.

Joyce followed the two officers to the lobby, where they took her to an

interview room and opened the metal door.

"Please come in." The two police officers were quite polite.

"Hmm." Joyce frowned gently. This didn't feel good, and she felt like

she was treated like a prisoner. Now she was a foreigner, and it didn't

make sense that she should receive such treatment.

She walked into the inquiry room and sat down calmly.

An officer also sat down and said, "Please put your phone on the table

and put it on silent.”

Joyce took the phone out of her own pocket and put it on the table.

At this point, another officer immediately came forward and took her

phone away.

"What is this for?" Joyce was disgruntled, "You guys are violating your

procedures. I can sue you guys."

She couldn't help but think of the old days in Khebury, when Karl was

there, and he was a man of integrity who would never allow his

subordinates to do such a thing.

"Cut the crap. What is your relationship with the deceased?" The

seated officer opened his laptop and began recording and taking notes.

“I have no relationship with the deceased. Blue Maple Group wants a

transformation and wants to buy my company's technologies. We met

at the Artificial Intelligence Summit and I don't want to sell anything to

him, and that's all." Joyce said indifferently.

"That's it?" The officer was totally unconvinced, "You better tell the

truth. We have all the facts.”

"Since you have already had all the facts, just record it directly, so why

do you ask me again?" Joyce wrapped her arms around her chest with

a disdainful look.

“You! Just tell me, why did you fight with the older Mr. Walsh at the

exhibition center, and why did you stab the younger Mr. Walsh with a

fork?" The officer questioned repeatedly, in a harsh tone.

"So, you're, now, making a presumption of guilt?" Joyce snickered, "Did

you really graduate from a police school? You don't have even basic

knowledge about laws?"

"You!" The officer was exasperated.

“You are telling me his version of the story. The younger Mr. Walsh sent

a group of gangsters to surround me after that night and tried to teach

me a lesson. Did he say this to you?" Joyce asked rhetorically.

The officer froze and didn't answer the question.

"Also, they put their hands on me and verbally insulted me in the

exhibition center, and I couldn't resist?" She sneered, "I suggest you

guys come back and ask me after you have checked things out, or you

will be just wasting your time."

“You.” The officer was speechless.

To make things less awkward, he questioned again, "Where were you

and what were you doing at the time of the crime, between 5:00 and

6:00 a.m.?"

"Huh." Joyce laughed, "Of course I slept at home. I live in an

apartment, and you will know once you check the surveillance. And,

you must have checked the surveillance in this hotel. Don’t you even

know if I was there at the time? "

The seated officer looked up, glanced at the other officer and

exchanged glances with him. The woman in front of him was too

eloquent to deal with.

However, it was true that they had checked the surveillance and it was

simply unreasonable that no one got in or out during the whole time.

"If you are not feeling guilty and worried at all, why did you go to Hotel

Dragon?" The police officer questioned reluctantly.

"I saw the news in the morning and I happened to pass by the hotel. It

is not illegal to take a look, right? Officer, if you have no further

questions, am I free to go?" She raised her wrist and looked at her

watch, "If you have anything else you want to know, you can always

contact me."

“I'm sorry. You can't leave for now." The officer frowned, "We caught

you at the scene and have the right to detain you for 48 hours."

48 hours?

Joyce was instantly furious. What about Anderson? Damn it, she

should not have gone upstairs to confirm Mr. Walsh's death. She got

into a lot of trouble for nothing, but then she thought, if she didn't see it

with her own eyes, how would she know that that Mr. Walsh ended up

exactly the same way as Stephanie?

Today, the trip was so worth it.

It's just that right now, she was trapped and her phone had been

confiscated. It caused her a huge headache.

"Go on, tell us in detail how you and the younger Mr. Walsh got into a

dispute. We would like to know about the causes and consequences.”

Joyce rested one hand gently on the tabletop with a proud demeanor, "I

have the right to remain silent and I do not have to answer any of your

questions.”

She didn't want to waste any more time with them.

She thought that she would have the police department contact Kane

later and ask for a lawyer to handle the follow-up, and she had to get

out of it.

Right then and there.

The iron door of the inquiry room was suddenly pushed open with

force.

A total of three people came from the outside, all wearing navy blue

uniforms, straight and neat. The man in the lead wore a shining sun

badge on both sides of his shoulders, dazzling and eye-catching.

"House of Inspection, Special Investigation Unit," said the man in the

head of the group, showing his ID with almost majesty.

The two officers immediately stood up respectfully and saluted, "Good

day, sir!"

Joyce was staring at the stone tile floor with her head down, lost in

thought. When she heard the familiar voice, she froze at first and then

looked up sharply. When she saw the man at the door, her eyes

widened abruptly and she was stunned on the spot.

The familiar handsome face, the familiar voice, and the meticulous

attitude.

It was Karl!

The moment she saw him, she couldn't help but get red-eyed, and her

heart couldn't help but feel excited.

Almost four years later, she could still remember that day. He was shot

and bleeding. She left him in the wilderness and she drove the car and

faced Ricky alone. Thank God, he was still alive.

It's not that she hadn't inquired about him but she couldn't. Everything

about Karl had been kept secret.

To her surprise, he came to the Capital.

Besides, it seemed that he had been transferred to the Special

Investigation Unit of the House of Inspection. She did not really know

much about that place but it seemed to be some significant place. The

sun badge on his shoulder was shining so brightly. Karl must have

taken some significant position.

It was wonderful. She would feel guilty for the rest of her life if innocent

people died because of what she did.

Karl retrieved his ID and froze the moment he met Joyce's eyes. It was

such a familiar gaze. Although he did not recognize the face, he just felt

familiar.

He then stopped thinking about it.

He gave a signal to the two subordinates beside him.

The two of them immediately handed over a document and said to the

two officers, "The case is special and is immediately under the

jurisdiction of Special Investigation Unit. Please hand over all materials

to us."

"Yes." The two police officers looked at each other. It was just a criminal

case, any why would the high and mighty House of Inspection came to

them?

Why were they getting involved?

It was so weird.
