"Mr Aiden, there is no reason for you to lie here. I am a police officer and I have been doing this for the past 23 years, when you called the emergency service you told them that you were in the room with your girlfriend."
"Now you are referring her to as your secretary. How controversial is that?"
"Well, Mister police officer... I am not wrong here. She is indeed my secretary and the other thing is that we are indeed in a relationship but that is not the problem here."
"Someone dared to sneak a body into my house when I was in this house." Adrienne could feel that he was pissed off. Though she wanted to stop him from talking like that, she knew that she shouldn't be doing that when she is one of the main suspects here.
"Police officer my name is Adrienne Garcia, I think it would be best if you could take our statements before we forget any useful information."
The police officer called someone with his hand. Take statements from the 3 people here and make sure you take the first statement from this gentleman here first." He frowned at Aiden and returned back to the crime scene.
"Mr. Aiden Pheonix, right?" The young police officer asked.
"Yes," he said without paying much attention to the person who was talking to him.
"I think we should go down stares and talk," he said, leading the way down to both Adrienne and Aiden.
On their way down, Aiden took his phone out and dialled Noir to ask him to come over.
"Oh Aiden, you were unreachable in the past few days. Where were you?" He asked as soon as he answered the call.
"That is not what is important right now. Can you come to the place that I am in right now? Someone dared to sneak a dead body into Adrienne's closet and the police are here."
"Oh, damn it! I will be there in the next 30 minutes to 1 hour. Please wait for me to arrive there with your lawyer. Just give a statement and don't speak much."
"And most importantly you absolutely can't be rude to the police officers. I am on my way there now so just do what they are asking you to do."
"Alright Alright," Aiden said, letting out a deep sigh.
He put the phone back into his pocket and sat down on the sofa.
"Mr. Aiden, we will first start off with your statement. Did you hear or see anyone screaming for help or her body being dragged from somewhere?"
"We were in our room and I was in a situation where I couldn't reveal the fact that I am in a relationship with her. We were waiting for our butler to be done with the lunch while we were doing our own thing, he knocked on my door to ask us to come down but well we were not in a mindset to go down."
"We both were right about to go down, and right then we heard a horrifying scream and that sound came from outside. By outside I mean from the garden that is right beside my room. I looked outside but I couldn't find anything suspicious."
"Adrienne and I were going to check out what it was, so we both came out to go to her room to get her some clothes. That's when we saw the body of that girl."
"Around what time did you hear the scream you mentioned?"
"Right before we came out of the room, we decided to go out of the room when we heard it. So I think it was about 40 minutes ago."
"Alright then. Do you have anyone you suspect or someone not on good terms with you?"
"Well Mister police officer, I am someone with many people who are against me and this is not the first time this has happened to me but that doesn't mean that I can't let go of the fact that someone was daring enough to do this."
"I don't necessarily suspect anyone, but I think you should pay a little bit more attention to my butler as he was behaving a little bit weird since the moment we met him today."
"And come to think of it, the guard who is in charge of this property seemed to be on vacation."
"Alright, I will keep that in mind."
"Mam, may I have the answers to the same questions?"
"I think I have the same statement Master Aiden just gave now, but just like he said we felt something off with the butler as well. I don't know whether it is because he was not happy seeing both of us together or not."
"Mr. Aiden Pheonix and Miss Adrienne Garcia thank you for your cooperation. We need you to come to the police station with us later."
"Yes, but you will have to wait until my lawyer is here," Aiden said standing up.
"Alright," the young officer said and looked up at the open balcony from where the senior officer was looking at them.
"Miss Adrienne, may I know whether you stayed in this room even for a few minutes?" The senior officer asked.
"Yes, I did, right before Aiden came and accompanied me to his room I was in there for about 30 minutes but I didn't move around much, I was in bed thinking about how I could meet him."
"Didn't you feel anything off when you were there?"
"No, not at all. I didn't feel anything or smell anything during the brief moment I was in there but well even when I entered the room the window that was facing the garden was open."
"Oh, I see."
"Police officer, may I know how she died?" Aiden suddenly asked.
"Yes, certainly," he said with a smirk and came down the stairs to the living room.
"She shows signs of struggling which means that she tried to escape. Judging from the bruises it is possible to assume that she has been getting abused for the past week or so but there are indeed some bruises that seemed to have appeared only a few hours ago."
"Other than that we assume that she was raped before death."
"It's so thrilling, isn't it? If both of you think that you have an alibi that is good enough to take both of you off the hook, I don't think you are correct since you don't have a way to prove that you both were in your rooms all the time.
Also, I have the statement of your butler. He says that Miss Adrienne was in her room all the time and was moving here and there and she even came and threatened him saying that she was in a relationship with his Master."
Adrienne was stunned by the answer but she was sure that she never intended something like that after talking to him.
"Judging from your expression I think you did threaten him," The police officer crossed his hands and smiled.
"Police officer don't you think that you are a little biased towards the both of us, we only came here a few hours ago. We don't even live here, this is only one of the vacation houses I own. This is the first time someone dared to do something like this to me."
"So I guess you're a tough guy," the police officer said.
"I don't know about that, but we are both not involved in this." Aiden grabbed Adrienne's hand.
Right then they both heard the sound of a helicopter.
