"Oh my God!" Shelly shouted "Oh my God!" three times in a row.
"Grandma's will originally stated that 10% of her shares would go to my brother, leaving 5% to my mom, 4% to me, and 1% to Joyce. Now it's all changed! Crossed out all of mom's shares and mine! Added a zero after the 1 to the 1% left for Joyce, making it 10%!" Shelly stared at her, unable to believe what she was seeing, "I can't believe they gave Joyce all of my shares and my mom's shares! Not a single share left!!!"
Shelly looked up and glared at Joyce, her teeth gritted, as if she wanted to tear Joyce apart!
Shock was written all over Jacqueline's face as she listened and she hurried over to take a look, exclaiming, "Officer, this is absolutely impossible! There is no way that no share will be left to me! I am the mistress of this family! It must be Joyce, she must have tampered with the will! Look at this handwriting, it's obvious that it's just been changed!"
Jacqueline seemed unable to believe it. Her eyes popped out and her voice hissed, "It's her! It's her! That's her motive for the murder!" She couldn't accept it. She was still waiting to get her shares to the board, how could she have nothing!
Why did Stephanie give her all of Jacqueline's and Shelly's shares before she died? Why was that? What had happened to her before she died? What did she want to express through such an act?
Shelly yanked Karl in an agitated manner and shouted, "Hurry up and get her! It is obvious that Joyce killed her grandmother and altered her will in order to get the Warner family's property. Bitch, you approached my brother with this in mind from the beginning! Now you're finally showing your tail!"
Karl waved Shelly off with a look of contempt and coldly reprimanded, "Whether it is tampering or her own modification, we will find out, and there is no need for you to make a decision here. Please step back behind the blue line and do not interfere with our work. If you interfere again, I will sue you for obstruction!"
When he finished, he placed the will in a clear plastic bag and kept it sealed as evidence at the scene.
At that moment, an officer respectfully came forward to report.
"Captain, all the surveillance system was damaged in the house. There is no picture recorded. Looks like it has been broken for several days. But the monitoring outside the house is good, all the footage has been retrieved, and we are bringing back to the police station for further investigation."
"What? The surveillance system in the house is all broken?” Joyce was stunned. She vaguely had a bad feeling. All the surveillance system in the house was broken, wouldn't that be… Who could prove that her grandmother had already died when she came home? Wouldn't that make her a big suspect?
She suddenly felt panic, and she felt deeply as if she had stepped into a huge net of conspiracy, and a boundless darkness completely enveloped her. She could not even see the way forward.
"Leave three of us behind to wait for the forensics. The rest of you are going back with me!" Karl patrolled around, and after seeing that the whole scene had been sampled, he ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes, sir!" The officers replied in unison.
