Chapter 334: Brief Paranoia
In all honesty, when Derek had walked into the police station. He had been expecting to go through a great deal of difficulty. After all, despite wanting cooperation from the public. The police were not known to be very cooperative. Especially towards two strangers who just showed up one day, and wanted to see evidence from a cold case that was 20 years old.
In fact, when he and Emily had given their names at the reception and had stated that they wanted someone who had been part of the Haven-Molson case. Derek had not been holding out hope that they would find anyone.
It had been years after all.
Most likely either the officers who had been investigating were dead or they had retired. But wonder of wonders, they had found the last one. And even more astounding, Detective Pierce, with the shock of white hair, and coffee brown skin, was being more than accommodating. Derek had not even had to use his family name or money. Emily had also not been required to deploy her frankly lethal tears.
As far as Derek was concerned, when Emily cried, even a tornado would pause to allow her to pass unharmed.
But without threats, bribery, and tears, Detective Pierce was helping them.
She left them in the office for a few minutes after hearing their story, and when she came back she was carrying a large brown envelope.
"I cannot give you the evidence since it is still being used. The case is unsolved after all, but these are pictures of every shred of evidence that we managed together that day. There are even photographs of the notes and observations made," She told them. Handing the envelope over to Emily and watching quietly, as Emily put it in her handbag.
"Thank you," They both said, and the woman simply shook her head.
