Officer Blogger had handled numerous criminal cases during his many years of service.
As it stood, this murder case seemed straightforward, but it was full of doubts and puzzles.
"Do you have any evidence?" Officer Blogger asked.
Edward Thompson remained silent.
He wasn't sure what would count as evidence.
The only person who could prove his innocence was Sylvia Thompson.
Yet, if Sylvia really was the murderer, his innocence would be impossible to prove, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Edward Thompson currently felt a mixture of fear and sorrow.
His emotions were tangled and complex.
He feared being sentenced to death.
He was saddened by Sylvia's treatment of him.
He had always treated Sylvia like his own sister.
But today.
Sylvia was behaving this way towards him.
The betrayal was even more painful than being skinned alive.
He was practically suffocating.
