Chapter 125: The Artist XIII
Interrogation Room, CID
"His death will benefit his sister; he didn’t have much to live for anyway," Diana claimed, her voice filled with conviction. There was no trace of regret even on her face, she believed it, Levi could tell.
Levi clenched his jaw, "I see." he said, then he turned towards the cameras in the room, "Did we get all that?" he asked, dropping his facade altogether. Diana furrowed her brows in confusion, she turned to look at the far corner of the room where Levi was staring at.
After hearing confirmation from his earpiece, he turned to Diana, his signature smug grin back on his face. Levi removed the earpiece and held it in his hand for a moment, Diana watching him in sheer confusion.
"You seemed surprised," Levi said, amused at the woman’s expression. The slicked blond slowly strutted around the room, circling the woman grinning wildly. A confession was so powerful in court, and all the little details she shared that only the killer would have known would put so much weight onto charging her.
Moments later, the door swung open revealing Davies. The middle-aged detective approached the brown-haired woman, telling her of her Rights as he cuffed her arms behind her back.
"We knew all along it was you, Diana," Levi said, dropping the formality altogether. It had been annoying having to act so professionally and ’pleasant,’ he scoffed at the word, towards her.
"We knew you visited the hospital a week ago with abdominal complaints; I knew it was most likely from getting exposed to the lead acetate you used to poison Michael," Levi said, pocketing his hand.
"We also know that the ring around Charmaine’s finger that you passed down belonged to Michael’s mother. A family heirloom passed down to the woman of the house." he continued.
"We also know that you had a meeting with a real estate agent, two months before Michael’s death. And that all your visits to his apartment coincided with each of his hospitalizations. Thank you for the tip on the online purchase of lead oxide; by the way, CID’s computer analyst would be searching the hard drive of your computer for that, and it will be presented as one of the key pieces of evidence in your trial." Levi shared.
