Spoil My Sweet Widow By Billionaire Chapter 863
There was finally some light in Crystal’s eyes. She looked at Lennon quietly. It seemed that she was very surprised that he would ask such a question in the case of conclusive evidence.
After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and said, “That fruit knife…”
She made a gesture. “Is it that long? The handle is made of wood and there’s a hole in it.”
“Yes.” Lennon nodded.
Crystal was in a daze for a while. Her thoughts slowly drifted back to the noon of the fire. She and Natalie had lunch in the canteen. When she went back, she saw Annette cutting fruits in the dormitory. Annette seemed to be absent-minded and didn’t talk to Crystal and the others after the holiday. This was the first time for her to put on the same smiling face as before. She stopped Crystal and said, “Crystal, help me. I’m not good at cutting this watermelon alone.”
Crystal moved closer. “It’s already October. Why did you still buy watermelon to eat?”
Annette said, “Can’t I eat watermelon in October? It’s very hot today. When I passed by the fruit stall and saw someone selling it, I bought one. Don’t talk nonsense. I’ll hold it down and you’ll cut it for me… Don’t cut my hand.”
Crystal remembered very clearly that the fruit knife was about 35 centimeters long, and the blade was very sharp. The handle of the knife was curved to fit her fingers, but she didn’t find it very useful.
Although she didn’t stay in the dormitory at night, she would stay there at noon, so it was very easy for Annette to collect her hair and shoeprints. The only thing that puzzled Crystal was why Annette did this.
What did the person behind the scenes promise to let Annette participate in this game?
Before Crystal could answer, Lennon saw her tearing up.
She was different from others when she cried. She cried silently, but her tears rolled down like pearls, which set off her pale and crystal skin. She looked like a glazed statue, which was extremely fragile.
Lennon didn’t know how to coax the little girl, so he could only frown.”… I just asked you a question. Why are you crying? Don’t cry. Others will think that I am bullying you if they see it.”
Crystal raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Her wet eyelashes stuck together, making her eyes a little blurred.
It seemed that she had been abandoned by everyone overnight.
Her friends betrayed her, his loved ones abandoned her, and her lover hated her.
Crystal felt that she was like a stray dog she had seen on the side of the road. She was busy looking for food in the rainy weather, trying hard to survive. She was already very tired and strong, but she still remembered the happiness she had before she was abandoned. She could not help but burst into tears.
She raised her head and said, “My roommate.”
“That knife belonged to my roommate, Annette.”
Lennon suddenly stood up. “Are you sure?”
Crystal nodded gently. “I’m sure. That afternoon when I was poisoned, I used that knife to cut the watermelon for her.”
Lennon took a deep breath and said, “If we can find something on her, maybe you can get rid of your crime, but if we can’t find anything…”
He looked at Crystal and said, “I’m sorry, but I’ve tried my best.”
Crystal nodded gently, “Thank you.”
Lennon coughed and said, “It’s what the police should do. There’s no need to thank me.”
As he turned around and walked out, he ordered Oswald to bring Annette to the police station for questioning. Crystal watched his tall back as he left.
But in fact, she knew that Lennon’s trip this time would be fruitless. The scheming person behind all this would not leave such an obvious flaw.
She just wanted to meet Annette.
