"Later, Mr. Crawford found out that Mr. Muller, the butler, had fallen downstairs and fainted. Since the danger outside had been resolved, he came to call me downstairs to check on Mr. Muller's condition," said Luca.

"I know some medical skills, but as soon as I found out that Mr. Muller had fallen, I told Mr. Crawford to call the ambulance. It was only then that I went downstairs to examine Mr. Muller."

Luca explained in detail. All of this had been planned out with Luke.

Luke had tampered with the surveillance. Therefore, in the surveillance footage, her descent downstairs occurred after Luke made the emergency call.

The hospital would also have records, so Luca was not worried about any loopholes.

Perhaps due to the nature of the Island of Despair, Luke's and her extra vigilance left no room for anyone to exploit loopholes.

While Luke was about to make the emergency call, Luca had already worked out the timeline with Luke.

The police noted down and asked again, "Do you remember what time it was then?"

Luca shook her head. "I don't remember. I was anxious when I found out Mr. Muller had fallen down. Plus, someone intruded into the house earlier. I was scared, so I didn't pay attention to the time at that moment.

"Besides, Mr. Crawford used his own phone to call both the police and the ambulance. So there's no record of the calls on my end."

The police officers exchanged glances with each other.

Luca knew that it would seem suspicious if she claimed to remember.

Only claiming ignorance would seem reasonable. It would not sound like her words were made up.

Presumably, the police were asking such questions to test the credibility of her statement.

However, they were all shrewd individuals and would not be easily tricked.

Luca's statement that she did not know invalidated all their previous preparations.

It was because she was upstairs when the event took place. She did not know what happened that night.
