Grace Lorenz completed the autopsy.
The cause of death was confirmed as a penetrating wound.
The time of death showed no anomalies.
All evidence pointed to Evelyn Ross.
She nibbled on a small bread roll while pondering the case.
She suddenly remembered Evelyn hadn't eaten dinner tonight either.
After submitting the autopsy report, she grabbed several bread rolls and went downstairs.
The interrogation room was brightly lit.
She caught a glimpse of Evelyn on the monitor.
Those peach blossom eyes were red and swollen.
Grace immediately rushed in and turned off the lights.
The room plunged into darkness.
Evelyn's eyes still stung painfully.
Everything before her was a blinding white haze.
Grace demanded angrily, "Who authorized this interrogation?"
Captain Durant stood up. "I did."
Grace glared at him. "Using torture is illegal!"
Captain Durant stubbed out his cigarette. "It was just the lights."
Grace's face was grim. "Does this require an overnight interrogation?"
Captain Durant sneered. "To prevent collusion."
Grace frowned. "She doesn't meet the conditions for bail."
Captain Durant sneered. "Rich heirs always find a way."
Grace pointed to her uniform. "I vouch for her with this badge."
Captain Durant's phone rang.
He read the message and smirked. "You're too naive."
They walked out of the interrogation room.
Grace insisted, "Evelyn isn't that kind of person."
Captain Durant looked back. "Her lawyer is processing the bail now."
In the front hall, the lawyer was filling out paperwork.
James Klein was pacing anxiously.
Alexander Vance frowned. "What illness does she have?"
James sighed. "Iron deficiency anemia."
Alexander remembered her WhatsApp username.
James explained. "Her body doesn't absorb iron properly."
She requires monthly IV iron infusions.
Tomorrow is her infusion day.
It cannot be delayed.
Alexander urged the lawyer to expedite the process.
The lawyer looked troubled. "Processing paperwork this late is difficult."
James nodded. "At the latest, the day after tomorrow."
Alexander relaxed slightly.
The lawyer's request to meet was denied.
They had no choice but to leave.
Grace saw the bail application form.
The reason stated was iron deficiency anemia.
She clenched her fist.
Captain Durant scoffed. "A ridiculous reason."
Grace's body trembled slightly.
She felt deceived.
She turned and walked back to the interrogation room.
Captain Durant followed. "Rich heirs value their lives."
Grace quickened her pace.
Evelyn was drinking water.
Grace entered with a dark expression.
"You never trusted me?"
Evelyn was taken aback. "That's not true."
Grace clenched her fist. "Then why seek bail?"
Evelyn looked down. "I really am anemic."
Grace was furious.
She drew blood for testing.
After disinfecting with alcohol, she set it down.
"I'm going to check this now."
"I hope you're not lying to me."
