I have to know everything about you to make the best defense. If you still tried to hide something, your case won&#8217;t go smoothly. You will never win the case, and your grandma will not rest in peace. Is that what you want?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well &#8230; I didn&#8217;t&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What the hell is inside?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all the promissory notes that I owe Andy and my diary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey frowned, &#8220;Diary? What diary?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold said, &#8220;Well, a diary that wrote killing Andy never paying him back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Idiot!&#8221; Audrey cursed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was forced into a corner. I could only &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why did you owe him money?&#8221; As Audrey Eye asked, she pondered with her hand on her forehead, &#8220;Well, you don&#8217;t have to answer. You couldn&#8217;t borrow it for yourself. You, an idiot, can give your life to that woman. What else can you not do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold was not the kind of person who would squander money. There was only one possibility.<\/p>\n<p>Being scolded as an idiot, Harold blushed with shame.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; got carried away!&#8221; Harold wanted to defend himself, &#8220;Besides, I thought that she was really in need of money, so I borrowed it from Andy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you brainless?&#8221; Audrey was angry, &#8220;You borrowed a large sum of money without thinking of yourself? Have you ever thought that you couldn&#8217;t pay him back?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t borrow much.&#8221; Harold shrank his neck, &#8220;Just ten thousand. I thought that if I worked frugally, I could pay it back in a year. But he came to me after just a month, asking for twenty thousand. Two months later, the debt became a hundred thousand!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Andy was a loan shark, who earned money by compound interests. Harold was not rich, hating Andy gradually.<\/p>\n<p>Harold&#8217;s eyes darkened, &#8220;I felt something wrong then, so I buried those things in advance. Only Susie knew about this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was right.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the things had been dug out, it must have been Susie.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good to be in the right mind.<\/p>\n<p>Harold carefully glanced at Audrey, &#8220;Do you think things will go well?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey rolled her eyes at him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you were rational back then, I wouldn&#8217;t have to go through so much trouble to defend you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold was silent.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked at him, &#8220;By the way, is there any surveillance camera near Andy&#8217;s home?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harold shook his head, &#8220;He lived in an old house. No surveillance cameras.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey nodded, &#8220;No surveillance cameras. When Dick killed him, no spectators were there, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has a henchman, but his henchman won&#8217;t testify.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He hung his keys on the wall and walked past them to the balcony.<\/p>\n<p>He moved the pots near the balcony to the back of the sun one by one and washed his hands in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>After that, Coby poked his head out from the kitchen and looked at them, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have tea. Is water okay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and said, &#8220;Sure!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coby was the calmest among all the people who had been kidnapped. He even asked them what to drink.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, Coby brought out four cups of water and placed three cups in front of them. He took a cup himself and sat on the stool opposite.<\/p>\n<p>After drinking some water, Coby said, &#8220;I will not help you. Just give up!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was firm.<\/p>\n<p>Harold moved and wanted to say something, but Audrey patted his shoulder to stop him.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled at Coby, &#8220;So, Mr. Barry knows why we are here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you come to me for that matter? I have already said that I won&#8217;t say anything! Even if you point your guns at me and kill me, I will not cooperate!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Barry is loyal to Dick just like I&#8217;ve heard. No wonder Dick trusts you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t flatter me. I&#8217;ve already said that I know nothing. If you want to torture me, then go ahead!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Barry, we are not to interrogate you. We come here just to show you something interesting. I believe you must be interested in the surveillance video of the day your wife died!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3531","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
