Chapter 1222 A Trap
When Wynter exited the interrogation room, someone swiftly approached her and reported, “A representative from Club Solstice has arrived. It might be difficult to investigate the hidden passage.”
“Bring them to me,” came Wynter’s instruction.
“He’s a lawyer representing the nightclub. He seems difficult to deal with,” the person added worriedly.
Yet, Wynter flashed a charming smile. “Well, I do enjoy a challenge.”
Minutes later, the group gathered around and took their seats.
Someone started the introduction between the two parties. “Everyone, this Mr. Calvin Adams, a renowned lawyer in Hawford. Mr. Adams, this is the crin specialist handling the Club Solstice case.”
Calvin Adams shook Wynter’s hand with a smile before diving into the negotiations. He stated in a professional tone, “I’m Mr. Carlson’s power of
attorney.
“As far as I know, Mr. Carlson has provided all relevant evidence we could possibly offer. As Club Solstice’s manager, it’s detrimental to his reputatic remain detained.
“While we extend our condolences to the late Ms. Chadwick, there’s no
evidence suggesting my client is involved in her death. You are free to question him, but I request for his release after 24 hours.
“Moreover, I reserve the right to pursue legal actions against the slander toward Mr. Carlson and Club Solstice. I do hope you uncover the truth pr
as we intend to issue a formal statement
“Mr. Carlson has a weak heart, and a prolonged interrogation may trigge negative responses. You may verify this with the doctor’s statement.”
As he spoke, Calvin presented a detailed cardiac diagnosis. It appeared come well–prepared.
Instead of disclosing the fresh leads in the investigation, Wynter retorted calmly. “Why the rush, Mr. Adams? We still have half a day.”
Calvin believed Simon wouldn’t reveal anything he shouldn’t. In truth, he didn’t
intend to bail Simon out
Calvin’s visit served two purposes–one was to remind Simon about his backers and ensure his silence on sensitive matters. The other was to gather updates from the police on their investigation if Simon remained detained.
Yet, Wynter withheld any information from Calvin.
He had previously guaranteed his superior that he could resolve the situation, given his familiarity with the standard police procedures. He was certain he could discover something from the timing and the officers‘ attitude.
However, Calvin felt uneasy when Wynter disrupted his plans. Not only was she young, but she also seemed frivolous. She didn’t give off the impression of a crime specialist at all.
Calvin was at a loss. He wasn’t certain if Wynter’s words implied new evidence or if she was simply bluffing.
