​It seemed an eternity after the Inspector last spoke. But the clock on the wall told me it had only been 5 minutes. The ugly smile was still pasted on his face. He was waiting…Waiting for me to say something unfortunate.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN54kq0tCX5
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ2OUyi0VF
“Then who had something to do with it, Amy?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb23MmmOevz
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotoIgWjml
“If I knew I would have told you.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgSXDUdXz
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgjd0pwEx
“So…You are saying you knew nothing about this murder?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfkjWQlEal
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZFG3Js0Nt
“Yes…” The moment the word left my mouth, the Inspector’s face lit up. His eyes danced with excitement as he talked in length about me hanging around backstage.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RqkoJAAIs
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqxP3jXLKD
“If anything, you were trying to knock the poisoned drink out of her hands. How did you know?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCGnA65eJF
I was horrified. How could I admit…772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoIDGn4T5Q
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfuw4uHQd
“I didn’t…” I blurted out. “It was an accident.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBT1VhcyUY
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJpikO2MeL
“Lawrence has already given his statement. He clearly says it was a deliberately done. I may not believe his wild claims but I have no reason to believe he’s lying about the facts.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLhZI2h0Oz
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZAmCJPu2w
“He’s lying.”  I said. “He and I are not in the best of terms.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCjDMAbwrA
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgtRWM6N7H
“And why is that?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkN1wfNRoM
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUjrOz2Nv
“Nancy…She and Lawrence were…I didn’t like him. I tried to talk Nancy out of it but she wouldn’t listen.  Then after her accident…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD4zCeQjyu
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrdAc6RyMp
“His affections transferred from your friend to Jolly.” The Inspector finished. The implication of what I said hit me almost at once. I had handed him a sword to strike Nancy.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEgvzZ6kH0
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUa9FXiCA5
“Nancy wouldn’t kill anyone…And…We…I mean she doesn’t want to be my friend anymore.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lo9TBlmD5
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDD4EdOev0
The Inspector raised an eyebrow. “Hasn’t forgiven you for seeing through him, huh?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnDwYWQv1p
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLML9duQcp
I nodded. “I know Nancy. She may have a hot temper but she would never ever resort to murder. Besides…Sir…Would anyone really murder over high school stuff?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1ewKancb2
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHLuzSKqSU
The Inspector laughed. The first non-malicious laughter I heard from him. “Girl…” He said. “I have seen murder and manslaughter happen for smaller reasons than high school drama.” Then in a more serious tone he added. “The best case scenario for you is that you somehow found out about the murder and was trying to stop it. But why didn’t you tell anyone instead of trying to clumsily knock the drink from her hand?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMVGkCMDu
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qfB8umYv
“It was an accident.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqA1Kt4IW8
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9r9y2xBAR
“The worst case scenario is that you aided one or both of your friends to commit murder…Either way…If you don’t start speaking the truth…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxb8iIOGCo
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot118h4O93
“I am speaking the truth…I don’t know. I honestly don’t know anything about the murder.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKco0bVSJrK
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesHDB84K77
The Inspector stood up and walked round the desk towards me. “I am only glad to put you away for the worst case scenario.” He whispered threateningly. “Just give me a reason…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiM9ov5vne
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0q1ZwRfzd
​“I didn’t do it. “ I said.  My heart was pounding rapidly inside my chest.  Coherent thoughts evaded my brain. “If you want to arrest me because you have a grudge against Dad…fine. Do it.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4GXNvdcdk
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnbD5M7JP8
The Inspector didn’t back away but leaned closer and said. “Unless you start telling the truth…I will happily do just that.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I9D5Y8a84
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny3xyx4Mq5
“What if I give you a certain truth the manager of this school wants to hide?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAH2aSily7
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe26sNXfa4A
This time the Inspector backed off. He glanced at me for a while and said. “What is this so called truth?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0agL7qP7u4
“There was an incident in this school 2 weeks ago. Jolly…She was in the centre of it all.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfKdDxRb9t
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39MnkJKlcO
“Interesting…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFnQ24Tb0w
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkxu6qveo
“Our Physics Master, Roy Sir, and Mathematics Teacher, Linda Madam, were locked inside the Physics lab during lunch break. The one who locked them in was…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCmVPMDSK
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAY7lOTOha
“Jolly…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplrb3sOlNP
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEjxGRmQ5s
“Yes, Sir. The Physics lab is on the topmost floor, isolated from the rest of the school.  Jolly…she…The things she accused them of in front of the whole school was downright disgusting….She was lying...but…“772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kaA65ncFb
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbJB7GWhLp
“People believed her?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT83C7Vqeut
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR3BQm3EJU
“Jolly has a reputation of being the good girl. Except some of us…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29NEKuftXE
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbYSxyceYt
“How does your manager factor into this story?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2eCGQ2oxh
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReiPPxs3Wf
“He put her up to it. There is a reason Jolly got picked for scholarship and won nearly all the prizes for the youth festival. Also…Her father is the manager’s dear friend.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhuyUE1dU
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKfxWR6Sin
“And why would he do such a thing?”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pkSpNrIB6
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEd2IV6CXj
​“Linda Madam…” I said slowly. “He…She told her brother, Benjamin Sir, about how he was stalking her and harassing her. There was a huge fight in the school office and…almost 3 days later…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqE2b2rw7u
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yv4uCaPND
“The Incident in the Physics lab happens.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBhxHozZ2h
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhvS4mSIt
“After that…Jo from the shop came and attacked Roy Sir, claiming to be Linda Madam’s lover.” I saw the Inspector frown but he did not interrupt me. “Then we heard that Roy Sir’s wife left him and…”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraO45Rtitq
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRoQGvR9Fz
“Looks like the girl had plenty of people around her who would willingly cut her throat.” He mumbled, darkly. Then, looking at me, he said. “Girl…You have been more than helpful to me today.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOvV67epX5
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qkhTGoWh4
“Michel Sir said he’d expel anyone who tells you this story.”772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdzgjSM45L
772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyIUPu72TW
The Inspector’s expression darkened. “I wouldn’t worry too much about that if I were you.” He said. There was a hint of a smile on his face.772Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUPKIQZDd
