"So you're saying the pressure drove them crazy?" Christian commented with a grimace. A good lawyer could use that as an excuse to get them released.

"I doubt that's it. I think guilt is eating them alive," Nicholas opined.

"I agree with Nicholas. Those greedy bastards murdered a father and daughter just to steal their money," Christian said, contemplating the legal arguments and responses he could use for this situation.

"Well, in any case, let's go interrogate him. Don't worry; I've already asked a doctor to be on standby in case this guy loses it and we need to sedate him," the detective said, getting to his feet.

Fortunately, Nicholas managed to convince the detective to let him join them in the interrogation room.

"You! What do you think you're doing-Ah! This is inhumane! How dare you... I'll sue you for mistreating me like this and..." Frederick began to rant, but his words were silenced by the sound of the folders the detective threw onto the table. "You've got quite a thick file," the detective commented, settling into his chair and staring Frederick in the

eyes.

"That's a lie. I have no record," Frederick said angrily, struggling against his restraints. His hands were cuffed to the back of the chair and his legs were cuffed to its legs.

"Oh, but you do. Your friend in the police has been arrested for corruption, and ALL the cases he handled have been reopened and are being re-examined from the beginning." Frederick paled at hearing this.

"And the best part is, that fool gave us everything we needed because he never got rid of the original files. He used them to blackmail his friends whenever he needed money." "What?!"

"So, stop pretending to be innocent," the detective said with a smirk, "and start confessing all your crimes.

"I'm not a criminal."

"Tell me, isn't it a crime to plan and pay an assassin to kill Mr. Alexander Anderson to get closer to the family fortune?" Christian asked, revealing the evidence they had found. "That's a lie, I never..."

*Or what about bribing an insurance employee to violate the agreement and the orders of the person who bought the policy so you could claim the money immediately?" Christian continued. Frederick's jaw clenched. He now understood why none of those idiots were answering his calls. They were in prison, which meant this damn kid had evidence to back up his words. "Heh... I told you," Frederick saw Alexandra appear beside the detective. "Sooner or later, your filth will come to light."

Those words infuriated Frederick, but he bit his tongue to keep from shouting at her. He was tired of her

taunts and knew she was just a hallucination he needed to ignore.

"So, talk. We have a letter written by Ms. Alexandra, who conducted her own investigation and discovered all your crimes before she died," Christian said, showing him the documents they had found. "Lies! That's impossible..."

Nicholas clenched his fists tightly, trying to control himself from punching the murderous bastard.

"It's true. In fact, due to new evidence, the case of Ms.Alexandra Anderson's death has been reopened. It's now classified as a deliberate accident, making you and your wife the prime suspects since you directly benefited from her death," the detective added "Heh... well, I wouldn't be so sure about that, detective, Frederick said, trying to sound calm and a bit arrogant.

"What do you mean by that?" Nicholas asked.

"Alright, I confess I planned to kill that idiot," he said, grinning as he saw Nicholas's reaction. "But why do. you think I would dirty my hands to get rid of her? In the past, Vox took care of that for me by killing that stingy old man, so... he might have killed her on my orders too."
