But the worst-case scenario still happened.
The police had found evidence that Ken had entered Deppler's home and he was taken to the police station. He had become the prime suspect. Plus, he couldn't reveal why he was inside Deppler's home.
If he revealed it, it would instead prove that he'd killed the man to keep the secret. After all, Deppler had threatened him before. It was logical for him to kill Deppler.
He also couldn't say that he and Deppler were friends. The entire town knew that they'd broken their relationship.
Ken couldn't explain why he was in Deppler's home, so he was in danger now.
They still handed this case to David to investigate because the others weren't experts in this field. He even took a few days off because of this.
