The Woman From Hell

"Mrs. Grant, that's all the clues we know for now. You should head back and rest. We'll inform you when there's news."

I nodded and got up numbly. Theo tried to support me from the back, but a split second later, Chief Royce spoke.

"Please wait, Mr. Grant. We still have questions for you."

I looked back warily, unsure why the police officers only wanted him to stay.

I knew the police officers had their reasons for doing so, but Theo and I were a married couple and I was Munchkin's legal guardian, so why did Chief Royce want to speak to him in private?

Please don't get me wrong, Mrs. Grant. We just need to ask Mr. Grant something. It's a routine investigation."

This was even more puzzling.

"Didn't you already ask about it before?

Why do you need a separate investigation now?"

Chief Royce's eyes looked slightly dazed. He looked at me, then at Theo, seemingly a little hesitant to speak.
