Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Eliminating Suspicions of Murder

The interrogating police officer got up and left. A few minutes later, I was taken to a closed. room with nothing inside except a narrow bed.

I did not have to guess to know that I would be staying here while waiting for the police to find Noah's body.

I had originally prepared myself to stay here for 24 hours, but unexpectedly, half an hour later, the door suddenly opened. The police officer outside looked at me and said, "Yvette, you

can come out."

I was puzzled and instinctively asked, "Are you going to continue questioning me?"

The police officer did not say much, just motioned for me to come out.

Seeing this, I followed him out..

This time, I was not taken to an interrogation room but to an office I was familiar with: Officer Jackson's office.

I had not seen him since I came into the station. I thought he must have been in a hurry to locate Noah's body.

Officer Jackson was not in his office, but there was a tall and slender figure inside with his back to the door, standing at his desk. When he heard the sound of me entering, the man turned to

look at me..

When our eyes met, I was momentarily stunned, but I had an inkling from the beginning that the person who had come would be him.

Idris looked at the police officer who had brought me and said, “You may go."

The police officer nodded and left without saying more..

Looking at Idris, I pursed my lips, unsure of what to say to him. He looked at me. His face was calm, hiding his emotions. In a calm tone, he asked, "You're not too scared, I hope?"

I stared blankly for a moment and then shook my head lightly. "What are you doing here?"

"Taking you home," he replied. He then motioned for me to sit on the leather sofa in the office and poured me a glass of water. He made it seem like this office belonged to him. Holding the glass of water, I took a sip, moistening my dry lips. "I'm involved in a homicide. case, and I can't go see Grandma for the time being. I might need you to help smooth things

over." I had already promised Madam Young I'd stay at Old Manor, and if I suddenly

disappeared without a trace, she would undoubtedly ask questions. This was probably part of the reason why he came here.

He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Am I that utilitarian in your eyes? Can't I be here because I'm concerned about you?"

I did not expect him to be so straightforward. I instinctively lowered my head to drink water, avoiding his gaze. Then, after a few seconds, I said, "I'm fine."

I did not look at him, but the office was very quiet, and I could clearly hear his helpless sigh.

spicions of Murder

"Do you really not know where the body is?" he asked, seeming to have adjusted his emotions.

I nodded. "After Noah died, I couldn't handle the drugs and passed out."

He squinted and asked, "Was it Inch who hid the body?"

My hand trembled, and I wanted to deny it. However, before I could speak, he continued, "If he was also involved in this, he can't escape now. Officer Jackson has already sent people to find him. Currently, all you need to do is to explain everything without reservation."

I pursed my lips, silently agreeing with his words.

He was right. Even if I did not want to involve Inch, everyone knew that he saved me back then. Now, trying to separate him from the situation was impossible.

When Moore attacked herself and fainted, I was already drugged. Noah's adult male body could not have disappeared without a trace. Besides, the crime scene at the time had also been cleaned up. Seeing me silent, Idris spoke again, "Is there any evidence that Moore drugged you?"

I suddenly raised my head to look at him, furrowing my brow. Was he planning to clear Moore's name?

Seeing my reaction, he looked somewhat helpless and sighed, "As long as we find evidence that she drugged you, the police can eliminate the possibility that you could've killed an adult male under the influence of drugs. Once Noah's body is found, as long as the body is intact,

the forensic examiner can estimate his time of death. If his time of death coincides with the time your drug effects were at their peak, then you have no possibility of being the murderer, and your suspicion of murder will be ruled out."

I was stunned, not expecting this at all. When Moore framed me, my first thought was how to find evidence of her committing murder, but 1 overlooked the fact that I could have cleared myself of that suspicion. Idris' words suddenly made me realize that if I had been honest with the police from the beginning, this case would have been solved long ago.

Now, after all this time, Noah's body would...
