You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 207
"No." Charlotte immediately shook her head. Suddenly, she realizedthat she answered too quickly, and she hastily added, "I have thoughtback on what happened that day after I heard about Stephanie's death,and I really can't think of anything unusual.”
"I checked the tea room, and from the order in which the tea sets werearranged, it looked like your tea drinking ended quite abruptly halfwaythrough. May I ask, why did you finish early?" At this moment, a sharplight reflected from Karl's eyes, staring straight at Charlotte.
Charlotte was stunned, not expecting Karl to ask such a question at all.Indeed, Stephanie got up and left abruptly that day after she began tosuspect her. It had never occurred to her that she needed to rearrangethe tea set. She didn't expect Karl to be so perceptive as to notice sucha trace.
She hesitated and froze for a moment before saying, "Grandmasuddenly said she was sleepy. So I helped her into her room to sleep.”"So, you've been in Stephanie's room, too?" Karl asked lightheartedlyas he took notes.
And by now, Charlotte's heartbeat had gradually spiked.
All of them were questions she didn't expect.
She realized that she had made a mistake in her answer. Perhaps sheshould not have answered that she had helped Stephanie to her roombut should have said that she had left directly. But what was said couldnot be changed.
"Yes, I went in there," Charlotte replied stiffly.
"What was Stephanie doing while you were gone?" Karl asked again."She, she was ready to lie down and go to sleep.” Charlotte felt as ifshe was in a trap already, unable to get out of his seductive inquiry."So, did Stephanie lie down or not?" Karl raised his eyes again andlooked into Charlotte's watery eyes.
Charlotte once again panicked. After all, it was her first time killing, andeven if she had prepared for it, in front of such an inquiry, it wasinevitable that she would make mistakes here and there.
"Officer Karl, what do you mean by asking these questions? Do yoususpect me?" Charlotte sulked and bit her lip to question, "Can I refuseto answer?"
"Huh." Karl laughed, "You can refuse to answer, I'm just askingroutinely. You can tell me what you know, or you can choose not to sayanything. You are a Heath, the police have no right to question youmuch, the decision is yours."
“I can't remember, maybe Grandma had lied down,” Charlotteanswered with a frown. Karl's words sound eerie, and she thought itwould be more appropriate to answer, lest he could be suspicious."What other questions do you have?" Charlotte was clearly impatient.Annoyed, she picked up the hand-ground coffee in front of her and tooka sip.
“Is it convenient to reveal the exact content of your chat? She is a farcry from your age. Why did she want to see you alone." Karl askedcuriously as he twirled the pen in his hand.
"Sorry, it's not convenient to tell you that." Charlotte coldly rebuffed.She had expected Karl to ask more questions, but to her surprise, Karlclosed the computer and said respectfully, “Thank you for yourcooperation. We have taken your statement, goodbye."
After saying that, Karl left the cubicle without looking back.
Leaving Charlotte behind with a puzzled look on her face.
On a hunch, he always felt there was something wrong. From thescene, Stephanie should be sitting on the bed and falling to the ground,instead of lying down and then falling to the ground. He could not thinkof a connection. Although Stephanie died when Charlotte had longleft...
But he always felt that Charlotte was not simple. From the conversationjust now, he also noticed a few flaws in Charlotte's statement.Stephanie's meeting with her was definitely not that simple...
