Xiao Hei got straight to the point, "We've checked your background and know about your criminal record. We're here to investigate a shooting. As long as you aren't the one who killed Garrett Swan, anything you confess won't be used as evidence against you.
As long as your charges are not severe, we can offer you an immunity agreent."
"It won't affect my bail?"
"Yes."
"Okay, ask away."
"What was your relationship with Garrett Swan?"
"He was my client."
"What kind of client?"
"He paid, I accompanied him playing poker, if you know what I an."
Xiao Hei said, "You're out doing this while on bail?"
"Where else would the bail money co from?"
"Why during the day? Isn't this kind of thing usually done at night?"
"You are correct, most people seek entertainnt at night.
But there's a small group of clients who prefer the dayti, like married n who find it easier to sneak out without their wives catching them.
During the day, it's different; they pretend to go to work, return ho at night and play the good husband, keeping the family intact while still having fun.
Moreover, so clients feel it's safer during the day.
I think the sa."
"Why did you and Garrett Swan go to Patuo Apartnt instead of renting a hotel?"
Anise Snow said, "Garrett Swan was a real estate agent. In his words, he had plenty of vacant properties, more comfortable than hotels, free of charge and, more importantly, safer. So, he usually arranged to et in these properties, and each ti it was a different house.
In his words, playing poker in soone else's house added to the thrill."
"Describe what happened at Patuo Apartnt."
Anise Snow thought for a mont, "We took the elevator to the sixth floor, he opened the door to apartnt 611 and saw a strange man; we were both surprised.
Garrett Swan just asked, 'Who are you, and why are you here?'" Anise Snow revealed a scared expression, "Then, the stranger pulled out a handgun and fired.
I was terrified and imdiately ran out, rushing into the stairwell, and in order to escape, I even threw away my shoes."
"Did he chase you?"
"He might have, but then he disappeared... That's how I narrowly escaped with my life."
"What did this guy look like?"
"He looked Latin, male, with black hair, average height... If you have a photo, I should be able to recognize him."
The current problem was that the police had not found any photos of the suspected gunman.
Xiao Hei stood up, "Co with us to the police station."
Anise Snow looked anxious, "Didn't you say you wouldn't charge ?"
"The condition is that you help us create a forensic composite sketch. Once it's done, the police won't pursue your poker activities."
"Can I not go?"
"That would only make the police more suspicious of you."
Anise Snow hesitated for a mont, "Give five minutes to change my clothes."
...
Five minutes later, Xiao Hei, Port, and Anise Snow exited the apartnt building.
"Wait here, I'll bring the car around," Port said, heading straight to the parking lot.
Anise Snow asked worriedly, "If I create the forensic composite sketch, will you really not pursue my gambling activities?"
"We from the Robbery and Murder Departnt are specifically in charge of murder cases, gambling isn't our concern."
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, Anise Snow obviously breathed a sigh of relief, curiously asking, "Why was the gunman in the apartnt? Was he there to kill Garrett Swan?"
Xiao Hei shrugged, "The case is still under investigation, and it's too early to say."
"Whew..."
A black Ford Explorer pulled up.
"Get in," Xiao Hei led Anise Snow towards the curb.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind swooshed past Xiao Hei.
With a loud "Bang!", Anise Snow's body jerked backward and she flew out, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Watch out, there's a gunman!"
