BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223 - Me Might Need Your Help!!
Nodding his head, HK stepped forward and addressed the "My Sincere condolences to you all. I know this is not the right time to interrogate but to find the culprit and seek justice to the deceased, we have no other choice but to carry out the investigation. I hope everyone will cooperate with us and help us solve the case as soon as possible. Please, if you know anything related to the case or if you felt anything unusual, please let me know"
"..."
a deep silence followed as everyone looked at each other with a questioning gaze.
Standing in the dark, Shein watched the family members\' reactions intently out of which she found a certain individual\'s reaction out of ordinary. Seeing the women look here and there nervously, Shein smiled faintly before fetching her cell phone to send a text to HK.
Hearing his cell phone vibrate, HK looked into his message and read the text message before turning to look at Shein. Seeing the latter nod her head, he whispered something to the officer before turning to the family to speak "Well, we will need to record your statement so please follow the officer to the interrogation room. Thank you"
Following HK\'s instruction, everyone headed inside the interrogation room one by one to record their statement.
When it was the turn of one of the village women who had caught Shein\'s eyes previously, Shein and HK entered the investigation room while the initial officer recording the statement left the room respectfully.
Seeing the Woman\'s frightened expression, Shein replied while pulling the chair for herself "Don\'t be nervous, you are safe. We have already sent the officers out and it\'s only the two of us here. The people outside will also not know about it so Miss if you have anything to say please say it freely. Everything you say will be only between us"
Glancing at Shein and HK the moment hesitated before she made her mind. Inhaling a deep breath, she looked up and spoke with a grim face "A few days back, my husband went out in the excuse of meeting his friend but when he came back he looked frightened. As he looked drunk, I thought he must have imagined something frightening that has scared him silly. This was not the first time he behaved in such a way"
Looking at the woman calmly, HK and Shein did not interrupt instead they listened to her patiently. After a small pause, the Woman continued...
"But as days passed, I felt something was unusual. Usually, he would be fine after taking some rest but after that day he seemed to have lost his mind, He would be in a daze during the day and have terrific nightmares at night. He could not sleep for several nights. Worried about his well-being, I brought him to the old baba who stays at the temple. He said my husband saw something he shouldn\'t have. He said he might be possessed by the ghost. With no other choice, I had to visit the only doctor in the village. The latter did some check-ups before giving some tablets for him to have."
"But for some reason, my husband insisted not to eat, and when he was forced he even threw those pills away. This continued for a few days but in the last few days, he suddenly became normal and no longer had any nightmares instead he seemed to look very energetic. I-I thought he was finally alright but-....I-I never expected his death...sniff"
Passing the napkin to the woman, Shein consoled "Please hold onto yourself. No matter what, we will try our utmost to bring justice for your husband"
"So....according to you, your husband seems to know something he shouldn\'t have right?" HK asked
Wiping off her tears, the woman nodded her head and answered weekly "Yes"
"hmm...you can leave now. But before that please leave your contact information" HK requested.
After sending off the woman, HK and Shein left the interrogation room, leaving the initial officer to continue recording the statement.
In the office...
HK looked at Shein and asked, "Do you think there is something fishy within the village?"
With her back turned towards HK, Shein nodded her head cooly "hmm"
"Why do you say so? I mean, it might also be possible that the woman was sent by those people" HK asked indifferently
"That might not necessarily be the case" Shein replied
"You believe her? May I know why Mr. Shein?" the head officer asked as he sipped on the tea
"Why?" grabbing the file from the nearby table, Sia flipped the page and pushed it towards the two of them, and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Isn\'t he the husband of that woman?" the head officer asked
"You are right. Now, don\'t you feel his expression is odd?" Shein continued
"How is it odd? I don\'t find anything amiss here" the head officer asked with a frown
On the other hand, HK did not come to a conclusion immediately instead he flipped the pages and compared the person\'s photo with the others. Raising his eyebrows, he asked "Indeed, other than fear and anxiety...he looks like he knows something"
"hmm..." seeing that the head office did not understand, Shein explained indifferently "We are also specialized in psychiatrists so we can differentiate the individual\'s facial expression"
"Oh..."
Nodding his head in understanding, the head officer listened to the two officers obediently. For the first time ever he felt that his skills and ability which he was proud and confident about were nothing when compared with these two officers\' skills and ability. Feeling a little ashamed, he bowed his head and drank his tea quietly.
Not knowing about the things running in the head officers\' head, HK asked "What do you want to do next?"
"Infiltrate the village" replied Shein coldly
"You sure? What if there are spies in the village? that would do no good" HK frowned
"They won\'t" ignoring HK\'s curious gaze, Shein picked his cell phone and called a certain someone. After a moment when the call was picked, she said "this is officer Shein...Miss, we might need your help"
