Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 176 How to Defend Herself

The scissors were her usual ones. If the killer wore gloves, only her fingerprints would be on

them.

“Dr. Ella, all the signs are pointing to you, so we need to hold you for a bit to look into it further.” Sonya bit her lip hard, saying, “I understand, but I didn’t kill her.”

“Think carefully. Was anyone at the basketball court last night who can vouch for you? “Besides the guy playing, I didn’t see anyone.”

“We’re looking for that person, but it won’t be easy.”

Sonya signed. However, she knew she was innocent.

Next, she stayed in the interrogation room, with officers questioning her one after another. She repeatedly told them what she knew, her relationship with Odette, and their conflicts.

The pain in her heart resurfaced repeatedly.

By day’s end, she was mentally and physically drained.

Without new evidence, she’d be deemed the murderer. She couldn’t bear to think about the consequences; it was too frightening.

By evening, there was progress. Someone who heard about her situation came to the police station to testify for her.

“Larissa said she saw you inside the basketball court at 8 PM on her way to her night shift. She was rushed and didn’t greet you. But this only shows you were there, not that you didn’t commit the murder. You could have killed the victim after 8 PM and then gone back to the court

Sonya thought and replied, “If I wanted an alibi, shouldn’t I have made sure that man saw me, an I saw him, and then give you his identity?”

The officer paused before continuing, “What if we can’t find him?”

Sonya went silent. If they couldn’t find him, the police might think she was lying.

“The facilities in the old city are old and many are broken, especially the intersection cameras…” The officer sighed, “We haven’t found that man or any suspects in the area’s surveillance footage.”

Sonya really didn’t know how to defend herself, even with Larissa’s statement. The suspicion remained.

That night was worse. Sonya briefly slept and then woke up suddenly. She had a bad headache, her body ached, and she was mentally on the edge.

She couldn’t grasp how she ended up in such trouble. Odette had randomly bothered her, died mysteriously in her home, and she was now a suspect.
