Married by Accident Taming the Billionaire (Cecilia)
Chapter 378 She Became the Prime Suspect

Chapter 378 She Became the Prime Suspect

Mr. Boris also saw Cecelia in the crowd and nodded at her as a greeting. He then instructed everyone to move to the courtyard and secure the scene for a thorough investigation.

Everyone went downstairs and gathered in the yard, discussing the situation.

Dana insisted on accusing the murderer, subtly suggesting that Cecelia was responsible.

Upon hearing this, Fiona snorted and said, "Dana, how can you be so sure that Cecelia is the murderer before the police have even confirmed it? Maybe someone else killed the victim and is trying to frame Cecelia."

Although Fiona was mentally unstable due to trauma, her thinking was not at all confused.

Her thoughts differed from everyone else's, as she did not believe that Cecelia was the murderer.

It was just like she still did not believe that her husband and son died in a fire accident. She always suspected that someone from the main branch of the family was the culprit.

"The evidence is right in front of us, and so many people saw it, so why doubt it?" Dana retorted.

Fiona sneered and said, "If what we see is always true, then on the night my husband and son were burned to death, I saw someone at the scene, but why didn't anyone believe me?" "That's different. The fire was an accident, but Daisy was murdered. How can they be the same?"

"How is it different? My husband and son were also killed by someone. Who can seek justice for me?"

Fiona became more and more agitated, grabbing Dana's collar. Dana shouted, "What are you doing? Let go of me, you crazy woman!"

"My husband and son were killed by someone. Give them back to me..."

Fiona always lost control of her emotions when it came to the deaths of her husband and son.

"Auntie Fiona, calm down!"

Warda and Edwin stepped forward to help separate them.

Watching this mess, Carol scolded loudly, "What are you doing here? Get her out of here! Do you want more chaos?"

Cecelia, who had been watching quietly from the side, saw Fiona's hatred towards Dana clearly.

In the past, she thought that Fiona's husband, son, and family members died in an accident. Could there be facts Dana wished to hide?

Fiona harbored such animosity towards Dana and Chris. Could it mean that the fire accident had something to do with Dana and Chris?

Cecelia looked at Remington and whispered a few words in his ear. Remington nodded, also feeling that there might be more to uncover from the fire accident.

After Fiona was taken away, the yard finally quieted down.

Mr. Boris and his team conducted a preliminary investigation upstairs, collecting fingerprints and footprints from the scene, and gathering relevant clues. The forensic team conducted a preliminary examination before having the body taken back for further autopsy.

After they came downstairs, Dana went forward and asked, "Mr. Boris, any progress? Have you found anything?"

"We still have a few questions to ask. Who was the first to discover the crime scene?"

Mr. Boris took out his notebook and began recording.

"It was her! Cecelia!"

Several people pointed at Cecelia.

Mr. Boris looked at Cecelia and said, "Miss Linsey, you will need to go back with us for further investigation. Besides you, has anyone else been to the crime scene?"

Queenie spoke up, "I and two servants, Sam and Eric. They went in first, and I went in afterward."

"What was the situation at that time?"

"After dinner, I couldn't find Daisy anywhere. I had something to talk to her but couldn't find her. I couldn't reach her on her phone either, so I brought people to look for her and came here. Coincidentally, I ran into my cousin Cecelia."

"I asked her if she had seen Daisy, but she didn't tell me where Daisy was. Sam and Eric found Daisy dead in her room, and then we called the police."

Mr. Boris recorded it and asked the last question, "So, does Miss Cecelia live in that room? Was Daisy killed in her room?"

"That's right."

Having understood the situation, Mr. Boris closed his notebook. "Alright, we have a preliminary understanding of the situation. We can conclude that the victim was murdered. We will investigate and find out how the murder was committed. Then we'll inform you. We hope you can protect the scene and not let anyone in for now."

"Okay, we understand."

Mr. Boris then turned to Cecelia. "Miss Linsey, please go with us."

"Okay!"

Cecelia was willing to cooperate and followed Mr. Boris and his team. Remington also left with her.

Watching Cecelia being taken away by the police, the Songo family members felt delighted. Queenie and her mother exchanged a glance, feeling like they had finally removed a thorn from their flesh. How satisfying!

With solid evidence, Cecelia would never turn the table this time!

The police station in Porema.

After Cecelia was brought back, she was questioned and gave her statement.

"Miss Linsey, did you have any conflicts with the deceased?" Mr. Boris asked. "No, we have no conflicts at all."

"Please describe what you were doing before and after the incident this evening."

"In the afternoon, I went to Longevity Temple, and in the evening, I had dinner at the Moonlight Hotel. The hotel's surveillance cameras can confirm that. After dinner, I returned to the Songo family. The gate security can confirm this."

"After I came back, I first went to the main house to visit my great-aunt and eldest aunt, and also visited my great-uncle and chatted with him for a while. When I left, it was about eight forty-five in the evening. I checked the time."

"It took me about ten minutes to walk to my room. I opened the door, turned on the lights, and saw Daisy dead in the room. I was also startled at that time."

"In that situation, my first reaction was to make a phone call. So I left the room to preserve the scene, and coincidentally, my cousin Queenie came with some servants to look for Daisy."

"Then they called the police, and your people arrived. That's how it happened."

After listening to Cecelia's account, Mr. Boris nodded. "Alright, I understand the details. We will verify everything one by one tomorrow. Miss Linsey, you can go back for now. If you have any leads, please contact me immediately!"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Boris."

Mr. Boris was kind and did not detain her just because she was the prime suspect.

Cecelia expressed her gratitude and left the police station.

Remington was waiting outside and approached her as she came out. "How did it go?"

"I explained everything that needed to be explained. Let's go back!"

"Okay."

Cecelia got into the passenger seat, and Remington drove away. Instead of taking her back to the Songo family, they booked a hotel room.

They stayed at the hotel that night, and the next morning, Cecelia contacted Mr. Boris to confirm the autopsy results before returning to the Songo family.

When Queenie and Dana saw Cecelia return, they thought she had been detained by the police for a night.

"Cecelia is back! How was your night in the police station?" Queenie asked smugly.

"It's rare for you to be so concerned about me!"

Cecelia's expression was cold. "But I have a question. Daisy died in my room, and it was you who came and found her body. What does all these coincidences mean? Shouldn't you explain, Queenie?"
