Chapter 103: Doubt
Investigator Lee took a deep breath. He had been an investigator for a long time, but interrogating and getting information from the rich kids was too hard to handle. He felt exhausted by just asking some questions.
They couldn’t answer him with a straight yes or a no. He told Lucas that the twins were lying to see his reaction. He couldn’t really tell if they were telling the truth because there wasn’t any proof. But he didn’t expect to get some complicated response from Lucas.
Lucas cleared his throat. "The night before the murder, we did stay at home and had a movie. We wanted to have some snacks and coffee from a newly opened cafe and had a game to who would go out Primrose. I lost the game, but Brie decided to come along. We still have the receipt and I think the cafe has cameras to support our statements."
"And the morning after, you and Brie decided to go to the same cafe again?" Investigator Lee frowned.
Lucas chuckled. "What’s wrong with that? We love the coffee and their donuts so we decided to buy more. In fact, we had a delivery this morning from the same cafe. Would you like to try the donuts?"
Investigator Lee was still in doubt. There were evidence that could support the kids’ claims, but he couldn’t fully believe them.
"Next time, Mr.Wilson." The old man smiled. "About your sister, I heard she’s sick and the Crown Prince is taking care of her. Is there a chance that we could talk to them?"
"I apologize. I don’t think this is the right time for that. My sister was not aware of Benjamin’s death. She’s still recovering so we decided not to tell her about it. Caden is exhausted from taking care of my sister so we are letting him take a rest. He didn’t know you’re here." Lucas answered.
Investigator Lee sighed deeply. He couldn’t force Lucas to let them talk to Caden and Alira so he didn’t insist.
"You are allowed to stay and check all the rooms. You have the Wilson Group’s permission." Lucas continued.
Investigator Bryan came running toward them. He came from the third floor of the mansion where Elijah, Natalia and Elisa’s room was.
"Sir, I think you should see this."
