Inspector Anderson was đọc Cas’ file when the door opened and a deputy appeared.
“Eh, Luke?” he asked careful. Anderson looked up. “Chief Barnes wants to speak with you”
“I’ll be there in a minute” Anderson promised and he looked down again.
“He đã đưa ý kiến it was urgent” the deputy continued.
Anderson closed the file and stood. “Then I’ll be there now” he sighed and he followed the deputy outside to Chief Barnes’ office. Without knocking Anderson entered. Barnes was đọc a paper, which he put down when Anderson walked towards him.
“Have a seat, Luke” Barnes said. Luke. This was not good. Luke sat down. “How are bạn doing?”
Luke assumed Barnes was talking about Isabel. “I’m coping, sir”
“You and Isabel were pretty close” Barnes said. “How do bạn feel now bạn know who killed her?”
“Angry” Luke replied obvious.
Barnes nodded in understanding. “We have charges against you. From Novak himself. He claims bạn attempted his life bởi piercing him with dozens of razor blades”
“He what?” Luke exclaimed in disbelief. What a pretentious prick, he thought disgusted. He had always believed Isabel exaggerated when she talked about him. And she had talked about him a lot. “Chief, I guarantee bạn that I did not lay a finger on the suspect. I bet bạn anything he did it himself”
“Why would he do that?” Barnes asked skeptic.
“So, we’d have to transfer him to the hospital so he could find a way out. He’s good at that” Luke explained obvious.
Barnes nodded. “I’ll have the security footage checked” he said. “In the meantime I want bạn to get in contact with the guard in the hospital”
Luke đã đưa ý kiến he’d do it right away and left the office.
