Lucian was stressing over Roxanne’s emotional fluctuations in the last few days. She kept going from being angry to breaking down and then finding some relief, only to go back to being angry again in a vicious cycle. He was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to handle it anymore.
Thus, he left her at home and went to the police station himself to urge them to speed up the process. Fortunately, the arrest warrant was officially issued, and four police officers went to the suburban villa to bring Winnie back to the police station.
As Winnie was only considered a suspect in the case and was required to cooperate with the investigation, they could only hold Winnie for twenty-four hours.
At the police station, Winnie was completely unafraid and full of arrogance. When she spotted Lucian but didn’t see Roxanne, she smirked coldly. “You can’t just pin any charges on me without evidence. Go ahead and investigate all you want. It doesn’t matter to me.”
Even the police officers were angered by Winnie’s arrogance, and they took her to the interrogation room with stern expressions.
Lucian waited at the door. When Bill came out, he shook his head slightly, his expression serious. “According to the forensic report, Ms. Jarvis’ mother had been suffering from the illness for three years. In other words, she had been exposed to mercury very early on. Based on the time of death, Winnie forced Grant to divorce Ms. Jarvis’ mother and entered the Jarvis family a year after the illness began. That means there’s a one-year interval between the two events.”
Lucian’s expression turned grim as he pondered over the words. After a few seconds, he asked, “Maybe Winnie had already set her sights on my mother-in-law from the beginning and secretly poisoned her early on?”
Bill shook his head and refuted that statement. “Ms. Jarvis mentioned her mother’s normal daily routine yesterday. Her mother was always at home taking care of the family and would have been alerted to any strange behavior from random women. I was also considering whether Grant helped Winnie do this, but if that were the case, he would have shown remorse and mentioned it before his death.”
Lucian believed this too. Grant’s behavior before his death was indeed remorseful. However, the fact that he took his own life is perplexing. Was he helping Winnie to keep the secret?
This whole case is becoming more and more confusing. Why is Winnie so arrogant and fearless? Don’t tell me it’s really because we won’t be able to find any evidence.
Bill muttered suddenly, “You should try to get Ms. Jarvis to remember more about what happened. We can see if her mother had any unusual behavior back then.”
Lucian nodded. “Mr. Chapman, I’ll go back and talk to Roxanne again. You don’t have to overwork yourself. Please rest more. Thank you very much for your help!”
“Don’t worry; I’m going to watch how these brats conduct their interrogation next. Who knows, maybe I’ll find something,” Bill said. He waved to Lucian before immediately heading back into the police station.
When Lucian returned to the Farwell Residence, he saw his wife anxiously waiting in the living room.
Roxanne was trying to control her emotions and relax her mind so that she could get a good night’s sleep. Despite that, no matter how much she tried not to think about it, her mother’s suffering back then filled her mind. How could she relax?
“How did it go? Did the police find any clues?” she asked eagerly when she saw her husband come in.
Lucian tried to choose his words carefully, not wanting to see his wife’s mood sour again. He smiled and said, “Winnie has been arrested and is being interrogated now. Mr. Chapman is an experienced detective who can often break through the psychological defenses of criminals in critical moments, so we’ll just have to see how tough Winnie is.”
