Jay simply inquired about the situation, and Chalrs shared what he could without divulging confidential information. Jay understood the nature of the investigation and the need for certain procedures to remain confidential, so he did not press Chalrs further.
Jay attempted to calm Lilith, reassuring her that Chalrs was rely conducting routine questioning and urging her not to be nervous.
However, despite his efforts, Lilith's anxiety only intensified. Her fingers began to tremble, betraying her nervous state.
Chalrs decided to address the matter directly, asking, "On the night of the murder, were you under the influence of any substances?"
Lilith recoiled and anxiously glanced at Jay for support.
Sensing Lilith's hesitation, Jay leaned in, gently placing a hand on her shoulder, and softly encouraged her, "You need to cooperate with the police and tell them what you know."
Lilith bit her lip and cautiously looked at Chalrs, eventually nodding in acknowledgent.
Chalrs proceeded with his questioning, asking, "How long ago was it? Can you rember?"
Lilith shook her head, indicating her inability to recall specific details.
"Were your parents present with you at all tis?" Chalrs inquired.
Lilith tightly pressed her fingers together, hesitated for a mont, and finally spoke up, "My state of mind at that ti was extrely confused, and I could only hear my parents' voices."
"And were your servants present as well?" Chalrs inquired.
Lilith carefully recollected the events and nodded gently, saying, "I believe I saw one of them."
Before departing, Chalrs advised Jay, "You should consider sending her to a specialized drug treatnt center, where there are professionals who can assist her." He gestured towards his own scarred wound.
Jay chuckled and responded, "Ho is the best place for her."
Chalrs expressed concern, asking, "Do you have the confidence to support her through the detoxification process?"
Jay replied without hesitation, "I must."
Chalrs let out a sigh, revealing a sobering fact, "During Carn's detoxification, there were a total of ten suicide attempts, and the last one was the most severe, nearly resulting in a fatal outco. The doctors barely managed to save her." He felt it necessary to highlight the challenges involved.
Jay, well aware of the difficulties, contemplated for a mont and then stated firmly, "I will always be by Lilith's side. If necessary, I will involve a psychiatrist."
Chalrs inquired further, "Your sister?"
"Yes, my sister is indeed a highly capable psychiatrist," Jay confird.
"Unfortunately, she was disbarred," Chalrs comnted.
Jay looked at Chalrs and gently smiled, "But that alone is not enough for to harbor hatred towards Joseph. My sister loved him deeply, as well as his dog. Chalrs, I am a police officer, and I will never break the law, even if it ans going against soone I care about."
Chalrs also smiled and gave Jay a firm pat on the shoulder.
In truth, Chalrs had subtly assessed Jay during their conversation, and he found Jay to be intelligent. It wasn't that Chalrs easily trusted Jay, but the doubts surrounding him were minimal.
There was no reason for Chalrs to doubt Jay's integrity. However, faced with a murder investigation of such a grave nature, Chalrs had to broaden the scope of suspects and ticulously scrutinize every detail.
anwhile, Irish was visibly trembling while at the police station.
Chalrs sat across from her and, following protocol requested that she recount the events of that fateful night. Irish described the situation, attempting to maintain a calm and composed tone.
"Why didn't you intervene when Ruby requested to speak with Joseph privately?" Chalrs inquired.
"I did try to intervene, but Ruby was adamant and confrontational," Irish explained.
"What ti did you leave to go downstairs?"
"It was around half past ten," Irish replied.
"Who was with you at that ti?" Chalrs inquired.
"Roy and Cassie, we went to the garage to retrieve the car," Irish answered.
"Was there anyone else present?" Chalrs probed.I think you should take a look at
"No, it was late, and most employees from other companies had already finished their work and left," Irish clarified.
"So, after they left, you remained downstairs waiting for Joseph?" Chalrs asked.
"Yes," Irish confird.
"At what ti approximately?" Chalrs pressed further.
Irish replied with certainty, "It should have been around half past eleven."
"Are you certain about that?" Chalrs sought confirmation.
"Yes, because I was keeping track of the ti," Irish replied.
"Then why did you decide to go back upstairs?" Chalrs inquired.
Irish pondered for a mont before responding, "I decided to go back upstairs because I felt that Ruby was being unreasonable and causing trouble, but I also felt that Joseph didn't need to engage in a lengthy conversation with her."
Chalrs continued his line of questioning, "Do you believe Ruby posed a threat to your husband?"
"I have never stated such a thing," Irish replied.
"Is it possible that Ruby would physically harm him?" Chalrs probed further.
"I cannot speculate on sothing I haven't witnessed myself," Irish replied cautiously.
"What are your thoughts on Ery's death?" Chalrs asked.
Irish considered the question and answered, "I have no idea about that because I didn't know Ery very well."
Chalrs then pushed a set of information data in front of her, word for word. "You used to be acquainted with Ery," he stated.
Irish glanced at the data, maintaining a calm deanor. She responded, "That's because her ex-husband approached seeking information, and I was on duty as a doctor. I needed to speak with Ery to understand the situation."
Chalrs pressed further, "Ruby had been causing trouble for Joseph because of Ery's suicide, correct?"
"I believe that's the case," Irish responded.
"What do you an by that?" Chalrs inquired.
"I observed that Ruby had expressed dissatisfaction towards Joseph, but she didn't exhibit any specific threatening behavior," Irish clarified.
"At the ti of the cri, so people heard Ruby telling Joseph that she wanted him to leave the Runestone, which made him upset," Chalrs stated.
Irish replied, "She would sotis speak harshly, but it doesn't necessarily an Joseph would respond in the sa way."
Chalrs continued probing, "Do you always believe in your husband's innocence?"
"Of course," Irish responded without hesitation.
Chalrs shifted the focus back to the night of the cri. He narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that Irish's logic was tightly woven, making it difficult to find a breakthrough point. "You have a regular housekeeping company, and the laundry staff usually cos to pick up the dirty clothes. However, on the night of the cri, you called soone specifically to collect Joseph's clothes, right?"
Irish looked at Chalrs and replied, "Yes."
"You usually wait for the housekeeping company to take the clothes away. Why did you call soone that night to co and collect them? Couldn't you have waited until morning?" Chalrs questioned.
"My clothes and Joseph's clothes were wet," Irish explained.
Chalrs seed skeptical and comnted, "That sounds like an excuse."
Irish remained composed and replied, "But that's the truth."
Chalrs continued to question her, "According to the laundry staff, they only collected Joseph's clothes that night, the ones he was wearing."
"Yes, that's because the laundry staff ntioned that they only had dry-cleaning services available at that ti, and my clothes couldn't be dry-cleaned, so they didn't take them," Irish clarified.
