Chapter 240: Has Escaped or Has Gone Missing?
[ At YCPD Building... ]
Alice and Athena waited outside the interrogation room while Chief Clint Espinas took over the task of interrogating Enzo. For some unknown reason, Sgt. Gonzales and his companion disappeared without letting their colleagues know. Clint and others thought they just skipped the work and left the building.
Enzo was sitting next to his attorney while Clint was sitting opposite them.
"Mr. Williams, can you confirm about this photo? Were you the one with him?" Clint placed the pictures on the table, letting Enzo see them.
Enzo nodded. "Yes. I remember. These photos were taken in Goddess Elixir Cafe where I was working. He is one of our customers."
"But in the photo, you were seen handing an envelope filled with cash. This is proof that you paid him. You have to confess now, Mr. Williams. Did you hire this guy to kill Dominique Smith?" Clint asked him with a serious expression on his face. Dominique was his friend so he was so determined to catch the real mastermind behind Dominique’s accident.
"No!" Enzo firmly said. "Someone is framing me. I have nothing to do with Dominique’s accident. Besides, why would I negotiate and hire someone in a public place where someone could witness us? Someone who knew about my past conflict with Dominique would try to make it look like I was the culprit just to hide their crime!"
Chief Clint fell silent for a moment. Enzo’s words made sense. But the evidence was pointing to him. He needed a valid alibi to prove his innocence.
"So, you will keep insisting that you are being framed for this crime?"
"Yes. I didn’t do anything wrong. I never hired this guy. We will find evidence." Enzo replied with conviction.
They were still in the middle of the interrogation when Clint’s mobile phone rang. When he checked it, he saw Dominique’s caller ID.
"Why is he calling me at this hour?" he mumbled before excusing himself for a moment to answer Dominique’s call.
