Chapter 2061

“Mr. Lowe, my name is Francis Slyfield, Captain of the Homicide Division in

Zone 3 of Zovince. We received a case earlier tonight where a man by the

name of Hank Sheridan was beaten to death near Empire Heights Mall. Based

on our investigation and witness testimonies from nearby residents, you’re a

prime suspect in the murder,” Francis explained respectfully, though he didn’t

hold back any of the details.

“Hank is dead?”

Roselynn stepped outside just then, surprised by the conversation she

overheard.

She hadn’t expected this at all. While she certainly disliked that martial

servant of the Lannister family and might have wished him dead, she’d never

“That’s right. I take that you must be Ms. Roselynn Lowe?” Francis continued.

According to several shop owners at Empire Heights Mall, the deceased had

a confrontation with you before his death. You even slapped his fiancee, Ms.

Violet Ashford. Some witnesses heard someone at the scene shouting ‘Ms.

Roselynn,‘ so we preliminarily determined there’s a grudge, giving you a

motive for murder.”

“Ridiculous!” Roselynn scoffed. “She was the one who got slapped, not me! If

anyone wanted to kill someone, it’d be her trying to kill me. Besides, it’s her

fiance who’s dead, not her. What does it have to do with me? I’ve been with

my brother all night, nowhere near the scene!”

“Sorry, but family members can’t serve as alibi witnesses,” Francis replied

matter–of–factly.

Roselynn wanted to argue further, but Emmanuel raised a hand, signaling her

stop. He then turned directly to Francis and asked, “Where’s the body now?”

“The crime scene is under police protection,” Francis answered. “According to

the forensic report, he was killed by a single, powerful palm strike.”

Emmanuel frowned. He hadn’t intended to get involved in this matter,

thinking he could let Sage handle it. But after hearing Francis‘ explanation, it

became clear that this was a deliberate setup against him. Someone was

trying to use the law to pin him down, knowing full well that a legal route

wouldn’t work. The real goal seemed to be to escalate the conflict between

him and the Lannister family.
