Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 185

Robin’s gaze held a complex mixture of emotions as he looked at his colleagues. “Sorry… this case isn’t under our jurisdiction anymore, so I’m not in a position to talk.”

I had a sinking feeling in my gut. There must have been some internal shake–up because Robin hadn’t managed to nail the real culprit yet. The case was still unsolved.

“Robin… could you reach out to Colin for me?” I pleaded with a nervous edge in my voice. “If I don’t show up, he’s going to worry. Just let me talk to him, please.”

Robin was about to respond when Cory interrupted.

“Officer Robin is under investigation as well. You might not want to drag him into this,” Cory whispered to me.

I stared at Robin in shock. Why was he under investigation?

“Someone reported him,” Cory murmured.

I took a deep breath, trying to make sense of how everything was connecting at this junction. It looked like a jigsaw where every piece was lining up perfectly, yet seemingly unrelated.

If I was taken in for questioning, Colin would panic, lose control, and possibly go off the rails…

Once Colin lost it, isolated and without support, Henry would see an opportunity to strike. The internet’s rumor mill would start churning, and the public would lap it up, seeing only what they wanted to see. Dexter would be out for blood, his own mother a hit–and–run victim, and he would likely take his anger out on Colin.

“I have the right to contact my lawyer. You can’t just take me in without allowing that.” I insisted, hoping to reach Colin first to at least calm him down.

“We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t have evidence. You better cooperate,” the officer retorted, denying me the chance.
