“My friends had nothing to do with this.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUdKn5EUdc
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc1XY7FJgb
It seemed an eternity after the Inspector last spoke. But the clock on the wall told me it had only been 5 minutes. The ugly smile was still pasted on his face. He was waiting…Waiting for me to say something unfortunate.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspXSsnZfCj
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZuVDAPmT4
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgOLlqdC3y
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G3S9w1CtG
“If I knew I would have told you.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp1uuWQaW9
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbmwXsuIqw
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0WZizlGci
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3cXSUT5hF
“Yes…” The moment the word left my mouth, the Inspector’s face lit up. His eyes danced with excitement as he talked in length about me hanging around backstage.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R5mFirVNF
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChrxLmJThZ
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUL8kxfWmJ
I was horrified. How could I admit…730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEj1NJFcX5
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEpY1z4CXQ
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hVYRQxBoe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmjL59wvVp
“Lawrence has already given his statement. He clearly says it was a deliberately done. I may not believe his wild claims but I have no reason to believe he’s lying about the facts.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaepsDniFLS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCFPp5UVg
“He’s lying.” I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafGUJAznRT
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEff0tAlya
“And why is that?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKHy5PTJFe
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCbH9IyG5M
“Nancy…She and Lawrence were…I didn’t like him. I tried to talk Nancy out of it but she wouldn’t listen. Then after her accident…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXkdeajfaN
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzEspq65s5
“His affections transferred from your friend to Jolly.” The Inspector finished. The implication of what I said hit me almost at once. I had handed him a sword to strike Nancy.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OGRdJFht9
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOGllZKzb5
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIfgpzDEDW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCICwznSUaP
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDYy3lfwr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj18ZqoGfz
I nodded. “I know Nancy. She may have a hot temper but she would never ever resort to murder. Besides…Sir…Would anyone really murder over high school stuff?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKYQojjp9
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ErPw4m1ov
The Inspector laughed. The first non-malicious laughter I heard from him. “Girl…” He said. “I have seen murder and manslaughter happen for smaller reasons than high school drama.” Then in a more serious tone he added. “The best case scenario for you is that you somehow found out about the murder and was trying to stop it. But why didn’t you tell anyone instead of trying to clumsily knock the drink from her hand?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcDE9GN5Ou
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0nhOML34w
“It was an accident.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsviKElL0L
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUpHBaD0P
“The worst case scenario is that you aided one or both of your friends to commit murder…Either way…If you don’t start speaking the truth…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZwmXG2AL
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0wizQiGGu
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeWG2wAe1E
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFCUjQSvsO
The Inspector stood up and walked round the desk towards me. “I am only glad to put you away for the worst case scenario.” He whispered threateningly. “Just give me a reason…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ng4vFaBl
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOfDBWhvR
“I didn’t do it. “ I said. My heart was pounding rapidly inside my chest. Coherent thoughts evaded my brain. “If you want to arrest me because you have a grudge against Dad…fine. Do it.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIkFL2yejS
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iW7a9XqBd
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppbFl5TnJJ
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFPbrjXCAu
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiXJJDVP2v
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkGGPVKszM
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7DDOVWTFz
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF06SurCt5m
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1Z2MhRql
“Interesting…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t5JNngxmv
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJauPlY0mIu
“Our Physics Master, Roy Sir, and Mathematics Teacher, Linda Madam, were locked inside the Physics lab during lunch break. The one who locked them in was…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9G9P4BZU2
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUESIfyT3E
“Jolly…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ng9IUmYSr
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w2q8Mo29c
“Yes, Sir. The Physics lab is on the topmost floor, isolated from the rest of the school. Jolly…she…The things she accused them of in front of the whole school was downright disgusting….She was lying...but…“730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrNiJ05hHW
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysClQJU9B9
“People believed her?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc366zKs7j3
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtex8uETtj
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3dXspz5vX
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6IKBEEc2c
“How does your manager factor into this story?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZ8p3YAq4
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqpKznZuY
“He put her up to it. There is a reason Jolly got picked for scholarship and won nearly all the prizes for the youth festival. Also…Her father is the manager’s dear friend.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOvwL5bjK
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgag5g5fDF2
“And why would he do such a thing?”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWo5H5qCoX
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwy4KYGsJ
“Linda Madam…” I said slowly. “He…She told her brother, Benjamin Sir, about how he was stalking her and harassing her. There was a huge fight in the school office and…almost 3 days later…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj9zUAiJCo
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ylzbmYj6
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn2nQEB9fo
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezYgzkyYkJ
“After that…Jo from the shop came and attacked Roy Sir, claiming to be Linda Madam’s lover.” I saw the Inspector frown but he did not interrupt me. “Then we heard that Roy Sir’s wife left him and…”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw4yoyNUoO
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlo18lhr1X
“Looks like the girl had plenty of people around her who would willingly cut her throat.” He mumbled, darkly. Then, looking at me, he said. “Girl…You have been more than helpful to me today.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzoNE6QFAa
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNGwRjsf54
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQrV6fLbHa
730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPkpsMIpIU
The Inspector’s expression darkened. “I wouldn’t worry too much about that if I were you.” He said. There was a hint of a smile on his face.730Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtvRdjfYE1
