There was a murder case that Chapter 384 Taken In for Questioning

Huglan lay on the floor. He tried to get up, but he had no strength at all.

Suddenly, something seemed to hit him. His whole body started shaking.

“Mr. Eric killed someone! He killed someone!” he shouted.

As he spoke, he shook even harder, as if he were about to have a seizure.

“Call 911!”

“Call the police!”

The crowd fell into chaos.

No one there wanted to offend Eric, so no one knew who actually made the call.

In the end, the police arrived very quickly.

What happened was clear. Eric and Alice had hit someone, so they were taken away for questioning.

As for Huglan, he had been sent to the hospital for an injury check.

If the injuries were serious, it could turn into a criminal case.

Even with Eric’s status, the law still had to be followed.

Alice did not seem bothered at all.

She could tell Huglan had planned this.

If she had not acted just now, her face might have been ruined.

But once she struck back, Huglan used the chance to make a scene.

In the end, Huglan had only fallen once, but she and Eric were the ones being taken to the police station.

As she walked out, Alice let out a soft laugh.

“Mr. Eric,” she asked, “who do you think is behind this?”

Eric’s answer matched her thoughts. “Grandma.”

When he said the name so plainly, Alice knew he was completely disappointed in Irene.

She remembered hearing earlier in Torenridge that Irene was hosting a party.

It was meant for Matt and Josh.

Both sons had been detained before.

And now what?

Eric and Alice were also being taken in.

Suddenly, no one seemed more important than anyone else.

Matt and Josh’s detention no longer looked like such a flaw.

In the future, if they joined the company, they could still speak confidently in front of the shareholders.

It was a clever plan.

But did Irene really not worry that this would cause Oscar’s family to break away from the Nolan Group completely?

“If Irene won’t back down, Huglan won’t either,” Alice sighed.

She had seen it clearly. Eric’s kick was strong, but it avoided vital areas.

Even with a medical report, it would be nothing more than a minor injury.

At worst, the punishment would be the same as Matt and Josh’s–detention for a few days.

But knowing Irene’s personality, she would make a big show of it and force them to submit to her.

And for Irene to step back, she would demand shares for Matt and Josh.

Alice suddenly laughed quietly.

She no longer thought Irene was that smart.

If Ruby were really willing to give up her shares, then Ruby would be the foolish one.

She smiled slightly and said, “Looks like we’ll be staying in there a few more days.”

Eric turned to look at her. “Are you worried?”

Alice shrugged. “The ones who should be worried aren’t us.”

Eric looked at her calm, uncaring expression and sighed quietly.

It seemed there was very little he could do for her now.

Daniel stayed close with them.

But since this was an official police matter, he could not interfere.

All he could do was protect them as carefully as possible.

Once they were taken into the police car, even Daniel had to step

back.

Several bodyguards looked worried. “Mr. Palmer, should we follow them or go back?”

Daniel thought for a moment, watching Eric and Alice’s reactions.

Then he let out a soft sigh.

“Alright. Go back and rest for now. Wait for further notice.”

The bodyguards quickly dispersed.

Daniel lit a cigarette. Worry crept into his eyes.

He had no idea what the environment was like at the police station.

This scene had happened right at the party.

Naturally, it was troublesome.

Everyone knew about it now.

And everyone was watching Nathan and Maria closely.

When the police came to investigate earlier, the two of them barely spoke.

They looked almost indifferent to their biological daughter.

But now, with all eyes on them, they had to do something.

Nathan raised his voice at once.

“I’ll contact some people right now. I’ll make sure Alice gets out.”

“Yeah,” Maria said, tears falling. “She has suffered enough. She can suffer no more.”

Damon also spoke up.

“I think we should go check on her adoptive father. Even though he didn’t raise her for long, he was hurt by Alice and Eric. If we visit him and he agrees to speak up for Alice, she will be fine.”

Nathan and Maria exchanged a look and nodded. The three of them quickly apologized to the crowd and left together.

But after getting into the car, they did not head to the hospital, nor did they go to the police. station. Instead, they went home.

They never truly planned to help Alice.

What they didn’t know was that this choice cost them a rare chance to truly connect with powerful people.

At that very moment, inside the police station, many people were stepping forward to vouch for Alice, hoping she could be released right away.

The police had no intention of letting her go.

The reason was simple: Samson had arrived.

had gone cold for a long time. The killer still hadn’t been found. Before this, the police had tried to ask Alice for help, but she was always busy.

This time, though, things were different.

She was brought in directly.

Since she was already here, there was no reason to waste her skills.

And just like that, Alice couldn’t leave.

When Alice was taken into the autopsy room, her face went flat with disbelief.

“Aren’t you detaining me?” she asked.

The police officer beside her looked embarrassed.

“Could you help us out? You’re here anyway.”

Alice paused. “Then interrogate me,” she said flatly. “Ask me if I killed Huglan.”

The officer cleared his throat. “Ms. Spencer, we’ve reviewed the security footage. It was self- defense.”

Alice rolled her eyes. “So now I’ve been drafted for free labor?”

“Ms. Spencer, please,” the officer said softly. “We really need your help. The died doesn’t make sense. Just take a look at the body for us.”

Alice knew there was no way out of it. If she stayed, she would have to help.

“Fine. I’ll take a look.”

She quickly changed clothes, put on a mask, and walked inside.

But the moment she stepped in, a woman blocked her path.

The woman’s face was covered in tears. Her eyes burned with anger.

“I already said it,” she shouted. “Only I can touch him. What are you trying to do?”

The officer spoke carefully. “Nydia, this is an expert invited by our superiors. She can really help you.”

Nydia clenched her teeth. “No. I won’t let anyone touch him. He’s already suffered enough!”

Alice studied her quietly.

The woman was about five feet six inches tall, slim, with an oval–shaped face.

Her eyes were large but bloodshot.

She looked exhausted.

Dark circles shadowed her eyes.

Her lips were badly cracked and peeling, but her gaze was firm.

She stood in front of Alice like a shield, protecting the dead body behind her, as if that dead body meant more to her than her own life.

Alice grew curious. She turned to the young officer. “Isn’t it a bit rude to hide his identity from me at this point?”

The officer froze.

His first instinct was to say he didn’t know.

But his boss had warned him: tell Alice everything.

After a moment of thought, he lowered his voice.

“Well, here’s the truth.”

He took a deep breath and began.

The man on the table was named Jamie Dittman. He had been the top student at the police academy.

After graduation, his future should have been bright.

But because his performance was exceptional, he was assigned to

go undercover.
