Scarlett looked at Officer Wyatt and frowned slightly, "Sorry, if I understand correctly, this should be a traffic accident. If it was a traffic accident, why was it reported to the criminal police?"
Officer Wyatt was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his sense. He looked at Scarlett admiringly, "Ms. Reed, you are clever. That's what I'm talking about. When we checked the vehicle, we found that the brakes of the car had been tampered with, so we suspect that this is a premeditated homicide."
Scarlett's hands clenched at the word " homicide". "Where's Raymond?"
"We haven’t found Mr. Shaw's body yet." Scarlett didn't like the word "body," but she knew that as Raymond's car had lost its brakes and plunged off the Lacott River Bridge into the river, Raymond had probably lost his life, which was Officer Wyatt's reasonable guess.
Nevertheless, Scarlett couldn’t accept it," Officer Wyatt, Raymond wouldn't lose his life that easily. He had learned to dive. He won the city freestyle championship when he was in junior high school."
Officer Wyatt was silent for a few seconds. He avoided the sensitive subject. "Ms.
Reed, now we need you to cooperate with us in some investigation."
"Sure."
Then Scarlett paused for a moment, "But I need to make a phone call first." "Okay."
Officer Wyatt made a "please" gesture.
Then he turned to his subordinates and instructed them to take Scarlett to record her statement later.
Scarlett took out her cell phone and called Frank.
Under such circumstances, she needed Frank to take charge of Tenton. So when Raymond returned, he wouldn't lose his hold on the company.
Then Scarlett called Katherine to get here quickly.
At last, Scarlett called Alexander.
Words would get out sooner or later. People would hear about Raymond's accident.
Rumors would spread. She could hide it from a lot of people, but she didn't have to hide it from Alexander.
After making the three calls, Scarlett turned to Larry, "Larry, I need your help. Please help me look into this matter. My secretary should be here this afternoon."
