Facade of Love

ter 177 Hitching a Ride

Since Officer Jackson had already contacted me earlier, asking me to visit the police station to make a statement once I was rested, I bid farewell to my mother and Maxwell and headed straight to the station after breakfast.

In the interview room at the police station, Officer Jackson handed me a cup of water and asked me to recount what had happened in the abandoned factory. I narrated how Noah had kidnapped me, how I woke up in the factory, how Moore drugged me, and then my subsequent unconsciousness. I ended the account by describing how I woke up at Inch’s friend’s house.

After hearing my story, Officer Jackson frowned slightly and asked, “Do you have the contact information of the friend who took you away? We might need to cross–check his statement with yours. Currently, we can’t find Noah, and Ms. Moore is still in the hospital, so we can only question you to see if we can locate and arrest Noah.”

I nodded and gave Officer Jackson Inch’s phone number without any change in expression. I did not mention Noah’s death and pretended to know nothing about it. Even if Moore woke up and said anything, as Inch had pointed out, without a b*dy, her words would have no proof.

Furthermore, if Moore insisted that I killed Noah, how could she be sure that someone drugged like me could commit murder?

After our conversation, Officer Jackson did not say much else. He merely advised me to be careful when going out in case I encountered Noah again.
