As Vincent found himself handcuffed, escorted out of his home, and into the awaiting police car, the realization of the gravity of his situation sunk in. The news of Edmund's corpse found in his residence had spread like wildfire, staining his reputation irreversibly. Panic gripped him as he contemplated the possible consequences.
Detective Daniels, leading the investigation, wore a stern expression as he looked at Vincent. "You're in deep trouble, Vincent. This isn't just another case you can maneuver your way out of," he remarked coldly.
Vincent, usually composed and defiant, felt a wave of vulnerability. This time, it wasn't just about spending a few years in prison; it was about survival. Ajuri's calculated move had effectively cornered him.
