Enchanted By His Charm Chapter 962 962: The Interrogation Process



Joseph responded calmly, "I had a shareholders' eting in my company, and Ruby was required to attend as one of the shareholders."

"During the eting, it is reported that Ruby was constantly opposing you," Chalrs continued.

"Quarrels and disagreents among shareholders are not uncommon," Joseph replied calmly.

Chalrs pondered for a mont before asking, "Why did she have disagreents with you?"

"It was related to the matter of new arrivals," Joseph responded.

"Did she suspect that you had betrayed the company?" Chalrs inquired.

Joseph smiled softly, "Perhaps."

Curious, Chalrs pressed further, asking, "What actions did you take?"

Joseph's tone remained light as he replied, "Chalrs, you are overstepping your authority. It is Tanner who should be asking these questions."

Chalrs blinked, maintaining eye contact with Joseph for a mont. "Mr. Dover, I am simply conducting the interrogation," he clarified.

Joseph smiled faintly and addressed Chalrs directly, "Chalrs, until it is confird that I am the killer, I believe I have the right to be fully inford about the entire process of the case. Your questioning seems to be putting the cart before the horse."

Finally, Chalrs grasped the reason why his subordinates had released Joseph when he had stepped out. Joseph's intelligence beca evident to him.

"Alright," Chalrs composed himself and proceeded to provide a concise description of the entire case.

Ruby's body had been discovered by a passer-by whose car happened to co to a halt in the vicinity. The passer-by noticed so movent resembling a dress, prompting him to investigate further. To his shock, he found a woman crouching in the bushes.

Initially assuming she was rely intoxicated, the passer-by attempted to rouse her, only to notice the presence of blood. Concerned, he turned her over, revealing wounds on her forehead and neck. It was apparent that she had tragically lost her life.

Upon receiving the call, the police swiftly initiated an examination of the surrounding area.

Upon further investigation, it was determined that the deceased individual was Ruby, Henry's daughter and a shareholder in the Runestone Group. A legal expert's analysis concluded that Ruby had passed away after 11 p.m. the previous night. Multiple fatal wounds were found on her head and neck, with excessive blood loss being the primary cause of death.

The instrunt responsible for inflicting severe damage was identified as a tal eagle-shaped decoration. The decoration featured sharp angles, resulting in continuous bleeding from the main artery and forehead.

The police further determined that the bush where Ruby's body was found was not the primary cri scene. There were suspicions that soone had killed Ruby elsewhere and then disposed of the body in the bush, possibly taking advantage of the rain to wash away any potential evidence. However, the rain ceased around 11:30 p.m.

It was discovered that Ruby had ceased breathing after the rain had stopped.

This indicated that when she was removed from the initial cri scene and discarded into the bush, she was still alive but in a critical condition. Due to the late hour and the rain, and only a few people passing by, Ruby's life slowly slipped away unnoticed.

Throughout the entire description, Chalrs carefully observed Joseph's facial expressions, hoping to catch any signs or cracks that could provide clues. However, to his disappointnt, Joseph's face remained unchanged – his eyes and eyebrows displayed no alteration whatsoever.

Joseph appeared remarkably composed, exceptionally calm.

This unyielding calmness only intensified Chalrs's doubts and suspicions regarding Joseph.

Regardless of one's status or background, it was natural to have an atypical reaction when brought to a police station. Such reactions were expected. However, Chalrs couldn't help but wonder what was going through Joseph's mind. It appeared as though Joseph was lost in his own thoughts, contemplating sothing or perhaps nothing at all. From Chalrs's perspective, there seed to be no signs of planning or seeking solutions in Joseph's deanor.

Joseph appeared to be rely listening to a story that had no connection to him.

After Chalrs finished his description, Joseph simply nodded and remained silent, offering no further comnts.

"Why did you schedule a eting so late?" Chalrs asked directly.

Joseph responded casually, "We had so issues with the new arrivals. The shareholders are worried about their own interests, so I gathered them to find solutions. It's pretty straightforward, isn't it?"

"Mr. Dover, did you manage to acquire Lakes' shares by leveraging Ruby and Ery's relationship?"

Joseph smiled lightly, "You've got it wrong, Chalrs. The transfer contract is still in my office. I can have my assistant bring it to you. Ruby and I made the deal in a completely fair, transparent, and voluntary manner."

"Why would Ruby, who is part of the Lake family, transfer her shares to you?"

"Well, let clarify that. She's only transferring a portion of her shares," Joseph calmly corrected. After a brief pause, he continued, "As a businessman, my sole pursuit is profit. Ruby was troubled by the rumors, and she had no idea how to handle it. She approached for help in getting out of trouble. In return, she agreed to transfer a portion of her shares to ."

Chalrs sneered and remarked, "I suspect that you set a trap for Ruby so you could profit from her."

"Chalrs, as a police officer, you should know that it's rely your conjecture," Joseph replied peaceably.

Chalrs narrowed his eyes and retorted, "Where were you last night around eleven o'clock?"

Joseph pondered for a mont before responding, "I was at the company. The elevator was out of order, so I had to take the stairs to go downstairs. I believe it was around 11:30 pm when I reached the lower floors."

The Runestone Group was located in a high-rise building, and Joseph intended to use the elevator to reach the lower levels. However, he encountered a locked corridor door leading to the lower area, leaving him with no choice but to walk down the stairs. It was a ti-consuming and physically demanding task.

"Why do you recall the ti so accurately?" inquired Chalrs.

"That's because my wife happened to et during that ti, and she ntioned the ti inadvertently," Joseph truthfully responded.

Irish, concerned that Ruby might cause problems for Joseph, approached him anxiously. However, they coincidentally encountered each other in the hallway, prompting them to rush to the car while sharing an umbrella hurriedly. Irish even complained to Joseph, questioning why he was out so late when it was ti to sleep.

"Did anyone witness you going downstairs?" Chalrs inquired.

"No," Joseph responded.

Curiously, Chalrs abruptly asked, "What happened to your hand?"

Joseph's hand had been sterilized, and he had a band-aid covering the wound.

Glancing at it, Joseph calmly replied, "I accidentally injured myself."

Chalrs snorted, handing a docunt to Joseph, and said, "I'm afraid this scratched you."
