10 minutes later .
Four policemen sat down in the office and compared their findings .
"How confusing . "
"It's unexpected, isn't it? It doesn't line up . . . "
An officer picked up a form and browsed through it . He said, "This is your discovery, eh? It was strange on our side, too . "
"Did his wife own up?"
"No, but found out about something else . "
"Don't keep us in suspense . "
"Simple . The couple isn't on good terms . "
"What did you guys ask? Why did she even talk about this?"
"She didn't tell us about it, but we could tell . "
"What did you notice?"
"I can't point it out, but you'll understand if you heard what she said . It's pretty funny and strange at the same time . I'll play the recording so listen for yourselves . "
He took a recorder out and pressed play .
"Sorry to bring you here at this time and thank you for a.s.sisting with our investigation . We would like to know more about your husband . "
"Okay . "
"He did not go to work on June 3 . Why?"
"My tummy was aching so he brought me to a doctor . "
"Was he acting strangely that day?"
"No . "
"You didn't notice the dent in your car?"
"I was the one who did that . I wanted to drive but I ended up ramming the car against a curb . Did he do something wrong? Is it serious?"
"We'll answer all your questions later, but for now, please just answer us . We have every reason to suspect that you and your husband are in cahoots," one officer said, his brows wrinkled .
"Why?"
"We've brought you here to seek evidence, but there's a need for me to tell you what I'm about to say . " He leaned forward and said earnestly, "Have you thought it through? Your testimony will influence our verdict . Your husband's already admitted to killing her so why are you still lying? Fabricating lies to mislead us is a serious offense and we have every right to lock you up . "
"Wait . He killed somebody and even admitted it?"
The officers smiled slightly and one whispered to the other, "Continue fanning the fire . "
"Yes, he's admitted to it . We can sue you for obstruction of justice if you keep lying and we can detain you for 10 days . "
"I've done wrong," she admitted .
"That's good . Now, be honest with us and be responsible for your words . "
"Got it . He made me do it . "
"Your husband? What did he ask you to say?"
"I don't know anything . Will he be sentenced to death? He made me say these . I'm innocent . "
"Can you tell us everything that had happened? How did he coerce you?
"Who did he murder?"
The officers looked at each other .
She continued, "A colleague? Did he throw the body into the sea? I know that there's some misunderstanding between him and his colleague . He must've done it . "
"Sorry, but could you please tell us exactly how he forced you?"
"He a.s.saults me every day . He has a bad temper so I'm not even surprised that he's a murderer . "
"Your answers are becoming stranger . Is there any conflict between you two? What did he force you to do?"
"He forced me . Yes, he forced me . He told me not to answer anything . I've said everything . I hope he receives the punishment that he deserves . "
"Alright, moving on . Are you two on good terms?"
"No, we're great . Sir, he should be punished if he did something wrong . It's for his own good . How can he get away with murder? I don't know anything . I'm not working with him . "
One officer covered his ears and said softly, "Ask her about the clinic . "
"You had a tummy ache on the 3rd of June? Which clinic did you visit?"
"I forgot, sorry . He refused to take me to the hospital . There are so many clinics around, I really don't remember which . "
The other officer added softly, "There's no point asking further . Is she even his wife? There seems to be a serious feud between them . Did he get cuckolded by her?"
"You said your husband abuses you . Why, then, did he still pick up your call and send you to the clinic?"
"No, no . Sir, he might be ill . Erratic . "
"But it sounds like the problem is with you . You said he hit you? Any bruises?"
"I told you he's unstable . It's been a while since he hit me . "
"We're recording your every word . You said he a.s.sault you every day . "
"Yes, he does, but not with a lot of force so there are no marks . "
Again, the other officer whispered, "No point digging further . "
The investigating officer nodded . "Thank you for your cooperation . We will process the information you've provided . "
"Alright . Can I leave now?"
"Oh, can we visit your home tomorrow? We'll need to check your computer for data, and also the car's camera recordings . "
"No problem . Can I leave now?"
The officer stopped the recorder .
"Did you sense anything?"
"Disharmony? He's been cuckolded?"
"Exactly my thought . She wants him dead, it seems . "
"She was still acting fine until she discovered that he killed someone . "
"Ever thought of letting him hear this recording and see how he reacts?"
"Isn't she malicious? And here we are thinking that they are in cahoots with each other . "
"She must've cheated on him and wants to jump on this perfect opportunity to get rid of him . "
"Stop guessing and show a proof of that . "
"Speaking of proof, are we really following her to get the data from the camera and computer?"
"Wait . She's released?"
"Yes, long ago . "
"If she really has something against him, won't she go home and destroy the only evidence?"
"Evidence? What evidence?"
"The copy in the computer and car camera . You said you'll look for her tomorrow so won't she have time to destroy it? What's going to happen then?"
All four of them stood up at the same time .
"I'll give her a call . "
"She should still be on her way . Go after her, quick . "
Half an hour later, the policemen arrived at the parking lot and found the car in question .
The camera was already removed by then .
"We're in trouble . "
"Find her . We'll collect the evidence and find you guys later . "
The two other officers rushed up to the apartment and rang the bell .
My wife opened the door very naturally .
"Hi, we're here to collect evidence . "
"You told me that earlier so I came back to look for it but it's been damaged . Perhaps it's because we haven't used that in a long time," she explained .
"It's our duty to charge you with obstruction of the law, Madam . "
"What? I don't know much about computers . It's spoiled . Are you convicting me because it's spoiled?"
"What about the car camera? Why is it gone?"
"What camera?"
"Please, follow me . "
"What have I done?"
They held onto her and one said, "It's obvious that there had been a camera installed but you're denying its existence . You're hindering our investigations . You'll have to follow us back to the center . Do not resist . It's an even bigger crime . "
The two policemen from the carpark came up and met with them .
"Bring her back and we'll stay to investigate," an officer instructed .
After 10 minutes of searching, one of them found the car's camera in the guest bedroom .
The other stared at the computer for a long time before dismantling it .
"Spoiled?"
"Yeah, it's been smashed before, there are marks here . The motherboard is damaged . Not a big problem, though . "
"Repairable?"
"No need, we'll just take the hard disk back . "
I waited impatiently for four hours until finally, an officer opened the cell door .
"You may leave, Mr . Chalk . "
"Really? Am I cleared?" I asked .
"We will remove you from our suspect list for now, but please do not leave the city as we may call you back anytime . "
"Did my wife testify?"
"Contrary . She's going to be detained for 10 days for obstructing the law . A piece of advice, you should be wary of that wife of yours . "
"Why?" I asked .
The officer only smiled .
I exited the police station with a grin on my face .
10 days later .
My wife returned home to a candlelight dinner that I had prepared .
"I know I did wrong, dear wife," I said as I lit the candles .
"It's all over . 10 days in exchange for half your lifetime? It's worth it," she said, the corner of her lip curling up .
