Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 610: 208: The gradually emerging truth, Luxi takes action_2
The police officer in charge of the interrogation continued to ask, “How about James?”

Mentioning James, Mrs. Flack sighed, “James is the only scoundrel in the family. He likes to drink and beats people up after getting drunk. He’s beaten Olivia’s mom to a pulp! We all advised Olivia’s mom to divorce him, but she always said she was too scared.”

Hearing this, the policewoman immediately thought of the scars on Aunt Zhang’s face.

Could it be?

Were her facial injuries caused by James’ domestic violence?

The policewoman asked again, “Why didn’t she dare to divorce him?”

Mrs. Flack replied, “Because James threatened her. He said, if she dared to divorce him, he would kill her whole family.”

Hearing this, the police officer responsible for taking notes frowned slightly.

It’s hard to imagine.

How can there be such a father in the world!

The police officer continued to ask, “Did James beat the child?”

“He did,” Mrs. Flack nodded, “When he goes crazy, he beats everyone!”

The policewoman frowned slightly, “Regarding James getting drunk and beating people, have any of you villagers seen this with your own eyes?”

Mrs. Flack replied, “I’ve seen him beat Olivia’s mom. It was terrifying! But I’ve never seen him beat Olivia. However, Olivia’s mom and Olivia often had some bruises on their bodies.”

At this moment.

A policeman hurriedly ran in from outside, whispering something in the policewoman’s ear.

Upon hearing this, the policewoman’s expression changed, and she turned to the policeman beside her, “Hellenbeck, I’ll leave this to you.”

“Alright.”

The policewoman went outside, “Krump, what’s going on?”

Officer Krump said, “Ling, here’s what happened: We investigated the surveillance footage near the garbage station and found James, at 10:01, dragging a suitcase to the garbage station.”

Ling frowned slightly and followed Officer Krump to the office.

Officer Krump showed Ling the surveillance video.

After watching the video, Ling said, “Bring James to the police station immediately!”

“We haven’t been able to contact James yet.”

“Did you check the casino?”

Officer Krump nodded, “We’ve already sent someone.”

Ling continued, “Also, sort out the last person who saw Olivia last night.”

“Alright, Ling.”

When the police found James, he was just coming out of the red-light district.

His luck last night was extraordinary.

He won 30,000 dollars in one go.

After winning the money, James couldn’t wait to send it to his mistress.

He and Aunt Zhang, after all, were just husband and wife in name only.

The two hadn’t had a marital life for many years.

Usually, from Aunt Zhang’s salary, James would spend some on eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, and give some to his mistress as well.

At this moment, James was in a good mood.

With a bottle of alcohol in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

He took a sip of alcohol and a puff of his cigarette.

He was extremely comfortable.

“Stop.”

James looked at the police officer in front of him and wasn’t scared at all, reeking of alcohol, “What’s the matter? I’m a law-abiding citizen. I never break the law!”

“I am Oliver Andrews, the captain of the Criminal Police Team. This is my badge.” Oliver Andrews showed his badge and said, “James, you are involved in a murder and corpse-dumping case. Please come with us for a while!”

“Murder?” Upon hearing this, most of James’ drunkenness faded away, and he shouted loudly, “Who did I kill? You guys must be mistaken?!”

Oliver Andrews looked at the two policemen behind him.

The two immediately restrained James from the left and the right.

“Please cooperate with the investigation,” Oliver Andrews continued, “We, the People’s Police, will not let a single criminal go, nor will we wrong a good person.”

James grumbled, “You really got it wrong!You said I killed someone? Who did I kill?”

Oliver Andrews looked at James, “Your adopted daughter, Olivia.”

Upon hearing this, James sobered up instantly, breaking free from the police, “What did you say? Who’s dead? Who the fuck did you say is dead?”

Oliver Andrews frowned slightly.

He had been working on cases for many years and had seen many crime suspects.

From James’ reaction, it could be basically analyzed that he was not lying.

He might not really know about Olivia’s death.

But it didn’t rule out some criminals with strong psychological qualities, who pretended that nothing had happened.

After all.

The person who dumped the body was indeed James.

“Who’s dead? Who’s dead?”

James could hardly believe what he heard.

His emotions were on the verge of collapse.

Although he had never cared about Olivia, she was, after all, his daughter.

On weekdays, when Aunt Zhang disciplined Olivia, he thought Aunt Zhang was doing it for Olivia’s own good.
