FULL NOVELXO Chapter 68 False Testimony
If they found Clarissa for questioning, the media would also know about it. He originally didn't want Clarissa to be exposed to the public. He was suspected of defalcation now, even if he could justify himself, it
would have a bad impact on his career if people thought that he had a mistress.
Antonio felt angry. When he wanted to have Damla show the policemen the door, Adelaide said to the leader of the policemen with a smile, "Ms. Clarissa, who is suspected by you, is my younger sister. I know everything about her, so you can ask me if you have any questions."
The leader glanced at her and then turned back to look at his team members and said, "But I don't think you will tell us the truth because you are her elder sister."
Adelaide felt anxious and bit her lower lip. And then she confessed the relationship between Antonio and Clarissa, "She's my sister, so we fell in love with the same man. Don't worry, I will tell you the truth whatever you want to know." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Antonio intentionally.
The policeman understood what she meant, so he looked at Adelaide with interest. Adelaide felt uncomfortable as he looked at her like this. The policeman took a pen and a notebook from his fellows and said, "Then please tell me the address of the suspect first."
"Adelaide!"
Antonio rushed downstairs and held her arm tightly.
The policeman wanted to know more about Clarissa from Adelaide, so he said to Antonio seriously, "What are you going to do? You are interfering with the course of justice. I can arrest you in accordance with the law."
Antonio laughed when he heard that, and then he intended to take Adelaide to leave.
At this time, the policeman held the other hand of Adelaide and stopped them. Adelaide stood between Antonio and the policeman, and they held her hands tightly, as if they were in a tug of war.
"Let her go! Her left shoulder has been injured."
Hanna said to them, and then Antonio let her go first.
The policeman also let her go. He didn't want to make her sick because he thought that her confession would help them make a lot of progress in this case.
But he said seriously, "Mr. Antonio, you said that the deceased was your secretary, and you must help him find the murderer. But you have not cooperated with us, and now you don't even allow your wife to tell us any useful clues. In this regard, I can arrest you in accordance with the law."
Antonio laughed again. He took up his phone and said, "Do you know Barnaby Hussain? If Uncle Barnaby wants to arrest me, I will certainly not resist."
In the police station, even the cleaning staff know Barnaby Hussain. They knew that Antonio was Barnaby's friend, so they wanted to ask Antonio for the address of the suspects.
It was easy for them to check the address of Clarissa, but it was not easy for them to be allowed to get into the villa of the Baron family. Did they need to offend the Director just for such a small case? They were not that stupid.
They had to work hard for this case just because it was exposed to the public by the media, and it was in the headlines, so their leader asked them to finish this case as soon as possible, even if they finished it by finding a scapegoat, so as not to affect the social image of the police station.
Therefore, they had to come to Antonio and asked him for information about the suspects. However, Antonio didn't want to help them at all. So it was not easy for them to get any information from him. The leader of the policemen smiled flatteringly, "I am sorry, Mr. Antonio. But I don't think we should bother our Director. As we all know, the case is being kept a close watch on, so we want to get more information about it so that we can find the murderer as soon as possible."
Adelaide looked down at the ground, and she was thinking about whether she could tell the policemen the address so that they could get more information about this case.
However, if the policemen found Clarissa for questioning, she was afraid that Koby's family would thus get hurt.
If she didn't tell them and even helped Clarissa hide the truth, how could they find the murderer?
"I told you very clearly before, Clarissa had nothing to do with it. I know you want to know why there was a wound on Koby's head, and I told you he had been accidentally injured the day before he died. In the company, someone made false entries in the account book in my name, so I had Koby investigate, and then he was killed. Isn't that clear enough?"
Antonio saw that they wanted to ask Adelaide for more information, so he had to explain it to them once again.
However, the policeman didn't want to leave. He opened the notebook in his hands and turned to the page with information about the reason why Koby died and the evidence found on his body.
He tapped at the notebook slightly and thought about it for a while before asking, "We just want to help Ms. Clarissa. If you really trust her, please tell us her address, and we will know the truth after investigation."
"Certainly you will know the truth after investigation, and it will also be exposed to the public by the media. And then everyone will believe that I have a mistress, including the shareholders. It will definitely cause a bad image to my reputation." Antonio thought in his mind. He thought they were so stupid, but he didn't know how to drive them away.
"Sir, Koby's head had been indeed injured the day before he died. And I found him when he died." Adelaide put her hands on her back, and her hands clenched into fists.
Hanna held her hands when she saw it. Adelaide felt warm, and she held hands with Hanna to give herself courage.
"Adelaide." Antonio wanted to stop her from talking again.
Adelaide looked at him, with sadness and guiltiness, "I am sorry." She felt sorry because she couldn't tell the truth to help the policemen find the murderer; she felt sorry because she had to help Clarissa and make false testimony; she felt sorry because she had to mislead the policemen even though Antonio was suspected of defalcation. Anyway, she really felt sorry for Antonio.
Adelaide said to herself in her mind. And then he turned back and looked at those policemen and said, "Antonio asked Koby to stay in the hospital to take care of me and Clarissa that day, because we were pregnant. And then, we needed more blood transfusions, so Koby left to find the nurses. When I woke up, I didn't see him, so I went out to find him. Finally, I saw him in a remote place behind the inpatient department. He was lying on the ground and did not move at all."
"He fell down in a faint when I found him. And I stayed in the same room with Clarissa in the hospital, so I don't think she could kill Koby."
Adelaide took a deep breath after she finished speaking. She never thought that she would help Clarissa.
"We asked the nurses in the hospital, and they said that Koby had gone out together with Ms. Clarissa's mother, but they didn't come back to the hospital together."
The policeman closed the notebook and stared at Adelaide seriously, as if he wanted to figure out whether she had lied.
Adelaide licked her dry lips. She only felt that her heart was beating so fast, and then she suddenly seemed to hear no sound.
"Yes, Mrs. Baron went out to look for the plasma for my sister, and Koby went out to look for the plasma for me, because we are all HR-negative blood types which are rare."00000
