At the other end of the phone, came a nice female voice, "Karl, don’t stay in Khebury, go back to the Capital. Mom misses you very much. Before, although Mom and Dad took the initiative to arrange a marriage for you, but you have not seen the girl after all. I did! She is really a very nice girl, lovely looking, good-tempered, good family background, well educated, gentle, quiet, and elegant. You should at least meet the girl once, and if you are not satisfied we will not talk about it anymore."
"Mom, what era is it now? You still have arranged a marriage for me? How dare you take it upon yourself to help us get engaged? I heard it's Mayor Sanchez's daughter, named Julia Sanchez, right? You really think I don't know anything. Meeting her? I heard she ran away from the marriage, she's not even at the Capital, and Mayor Sanchez doesn't know where she's gone. I don't understand why you guys have to get involved in something that she doesn't want and I don't want either. If that’s all you want to say, I'll hang up now, and you take care of your health, goodbye!"
Karl hung up the phone with a frown and walked back down the hall.
He graduated from the Capital Law School with a master's degree and was originally going to the Capital's top prosecutor's office, but he didn't want to stay at the Capital. His parents were pushing him to get married all day long, and the women were all high ranking officials' children, so he couldn't stand it. He would rather run to Khebury alone, just as a police officer, and he was comfortable with it. Moreover, he found the work of a criminal police very interesting. He was so focused on solving cases.
As he was thinking, he looked up and saw Juanita waiting for him with her arms crossed like a puffer fish puffed up in front of him.
He rubbed his forehead, the girl's name was Juanita Sanchez, right? Another tricky problem.
He suddenly remembered the unseen Julia Sanchez they mentioned on the phone just now. Juanita Sanchez, Julia Sanchez, the names were quite similar.
However, it could not be the same person.
His mother just said Julia Sanchez was good-tempered, knowledgeable, gentle, quiet, elegant and never spoke up lound. The girl in front of him was noisy, spiteful and difficult, not at all the same.
When she saw Karl, Juanita rushed right up to him.
She rushed to the front of him nonchalantly with her burning gaze.
"Officer. You know what? I'm the one who called the police! Joyce was the one who told me to call the police. She probably had a feeling that something was going to happen, and when she came back to the Warner family, she and I agreed on the phone that if she didn't contact me within twenty minutes, I should call the police! How could she be the murderer? Look, this is the record of my call with her, and this is the record of me calling the police." Juanita was so emotional that she lost control of her voice. Holding the phone, she shook it straight in front of Karl.
"What you said, was it recorded on tape?" Karl asked rhetorically.
"Recording?" Juanita was dumbfounded, "How could I have recorded that kind of emergency? I received a call from her at that time, how could I have foreseen in advance that it would be an urgent and dangerous matter, how could I have thought of recording it?"
"So, without the recording, who can prove that Joyce told you to call the police?" Karl shook his head and laughed low.
"Lady, please calm down. Investigating a case is about evidence. First of all, whether she is the murderer or not needs to be determined by the court, and our police department is only responsible for investigating and collecting evidence. Secondly, even if Joyce told you to call the police, it is entirely possible that she did so deliberately to clear her suspicion. The police station is not a place for emotion, so please don't make any noise here. You're getting in the way of my work. Miss, as a caller to the police, please go over there and take a statement!" Karl coldly refuted.
"You! Are you blind?" Juanita was so angry that she cursed. She was blind before, she actually thought he looked very handsome? She even tried to find out his phone number, but it turned out that he was also a scum.
