Selena shook her head in a hurry. "No, it's too long! I can't wait that long!"
A lot could happen in a week's time, and she believed that if it was really Helen’s doing, that woman would make sure to convict her during this week! By then, there would be no turning back.
"Unless you can have sufficient evidence to prove that you did not poison the wine yourself and that there is no motive for you to do so, it will be difficult." The lawyer's words were like a death sentence for Selena.
Selena bit her lip tightly; she absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen. "You go and think of something first."
"Of course, President Yard. I will definitely help you fight in your best interest."
After the lawyer left, Selena fell into despair. There was no way to contact Pierre, so what was she going to do? When the officer came to interrogate her again, before he could speak, she took the initiative to say, "I want to request an autopsy!"
The officers looked at each other, and then one of them said, "We have already checked and confirmed that he did die from the poison in the wine glass. Moreover, the poison in his body and the poison in the wine glass is the same, so we can be sure that it was the wine that killed him."
Selena shook her head. “I’m aware that the police have procedures for conducting autopsies, and I’m certain that you’ve only done the most basic autopsy to know the cause of his death. I wish for you to conduct a more detailed autopsy."
The officers, however, shook their heads, showing little interest in Selena's request, as they felt there was no need for that.
"First of all, I'm not the murderer. I know you don't believe me even if I say so, and I don't want to argue about it. Secondly, Helen Fowler is a very suspicious individual because the heir of the Fowler Family has always been Pierre Fowler. Thus, a mother who wants to fight for her son's inheritance will do anything she can. Thirdly, John Fowler’s health was not at all like what you think. The outside world had always felt that John was in good health, and he had always maintained a healthy image as well. But he vomited blood before, and he had also been secretly undergoing treatment, and the only person who knows he was in treatment is Helen. I think it is very worthwhile for you to investigate whether Helen has a hand in accelerating John Fowler’s death."
The two officers looked at each other. Then, one said, "We want evidence, not just empty words."
"Yes, but you also do not have evidence that I poisoned the wine. You must have seen the surveillance footage and know that I had been in the lounge room doing my makeup, so I did not touch the glass of wine at all beforehand. The glass of wine was given to me by the staff, and I was always surrounded by people, so I simply did not have time to poison anything. In order to make sure the wedding went on smoothly, I did not even drink water because I was worried about having to go to the restroom. After all, it’s too inconvenient to go to the restroom in a wedding dress. Since I did not even go to the restroom, when did I poison the wine without anyone seeing?"
The officers did not speak because Selena was right. They had checked the surveillance footage and did not find any evidence of Selena poisoning the wine.
"I know you must not have found the surveillance footage that would convict me; otherwise, you wouldn't have interrogated me repeatedly."
These words left the officer speechless.
"I am not going to plead guilty, and it’s impossible for me to harm my husband's father. Even though they have a bad father-son relationship, I love my man deeply, and naturally, I have much respect for his father. Besides, he was my children's grandfather, so I would never be willing to let them see their grandfather die in front of them!"
The last sentence slightly moved the officers; they were also fathers, so they could understand that as parents, they were definitely most unwilling to involve their children in their own matters.
