"When was the last time you saw her?" You could see that the detective was trying his hardest to maneuver the guy to talk. They knew by that time that he had seen her that night, but they needed him to build a lie which they could later debunk. Remember that it is also a crime to lie during an interrogation, not that it is chargeable for more than a fine, but it is at least pinning something on the suspect.
Apparently, he had seen her three weeks ago.
The detective paused for a second for effect and then mumbled his acknowledgment.
"How close were you to Irene?" he asked. This question was one that needed a little more explanation on the suspect's part, which was why the detective asked it probably.
"Yes." I scrunched my brow.
How are you enjoying the story so far? I know it is very dark and really makes you want to pull your hair out, but I want to know your thoughts.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
