Chapter 1163 - 1163

Adriana Eames's cousin is named Gunther Summers.

Under his name, there is indeed a van.

According to Gunther Summers's testimony.

On that night, he was already asleep when he suddenly received a call from his cousin Adriana Eames asking him to come to the "Mount Prospect" inn.

He rushed to the place.

Adriana explained the situation to him.

At the time, he didn't think much of it, and after helping Adriana move someone into the van, he worried the police would investigate later, so he removed the license plate.

Most of the following content is similar to Adriana's.

After reading the testimony.

Dirk Carter went to the surveillance room and carefully reviewed the entire interrogation of Adriana.

Then he turned to Heath Woods and asked, "Do you feel there's anything amiss?"

Heath Woods shook his head.

He said, "I can't say."

Dirk Carter pointed to Adriana's frozen expression.

He said, "She seemed a bit too calm and not panicked enough, given that someone had died; as a young woman, isn't she too composed? Throughout the process, she had no microexpressions indicating recollection, as if she were narrating a story."

Heath Woods was stunned.

He asked, "Are you saying she's fabricating evidence?"

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "Hard to say; maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's wait for the test report to come out."

And so they waited.

By midday.

The examination department at the Mountridge County Police Department had results.

Firstly, the hair found on the bed in the room was indeed Hansel Levin's.

Secondly, Hansel Levin's DNA was also extracted from the toothbrush used in the room's bathroom.

The most crucial point was that the male remnants extracted from Adriana's body were indeed Hansel Levin's.

All external evidence combined indicates Adriana was the woman who had sexual relations with Hansel Levin, and they had relations at the Mount Prospect inn.

Despite Dirk Carter's doubts.

The evidence was compelling.

Upon seeing the test results.

Dirk Carter decided to question Adriana personally.

At one in the afternoon.

Adriana was brought from the holding room to the interrogation room.

Besides Dirk Carter, a member from the Mountridge County Police Department's Preliminary Examination Section was also involved in the interrogation.

After a brief verification of identity.

Dirk Carter asked the first question: "Adriana, do you know who the man you had sexual relations with is?"

Adriana naturally shook her head and said, "I don't know his name, but everyone calls him Secretary General Levin."

"Everyone? Who do you mean by 'everyone'?"

This question clearly caught Adriana off guard.

She quickly said, "Not everyone, just Director Meyer, that's how she refers to him."

"Who is Director Meyer you're talking about?"

"Noelle Meyer, she's the chairperson of Seaview Group."

Adriana said.

"Then tell me in detail, how did Noelle Meyer ask you to accompany Hansel Levin?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Adriana took a deep breath.

She said, "Yesterday afternoon, a stranger came to my house to find me, saying I should go out tonight to accompany someone; then he gave me a time and place. I went there as agreed, waited for about half an hour, and Secretary General Levin arrived. I accompanied him to the room that had already been booked, and then we... we did it..."

"Did it? Did what? Be clear!"

The preliminary examiner warned.

Adriana lamented, "What can a man and woman do together? It's nothing but romantic involvement…"

The preliminary examiner wanted to get angry.

Dirk Carter stopped him.

He asked, "How long after your relations did Hansel Levin start feeling unwell?"

"I can't quite remember; it should have been half an hour, or maybe ten minutes. I can't recall… Honestly, I was too panicked then, who remembers that well? When you hop into bed with your wife, does she look at the clock?"

When Adriana said this.

She appeared very casual.

As if she didn't care much about this matter.

Moreover.

Her eyes even flashed with some provocation.

She didn't take the police and commission's questioning seriously at all.

"You claim someone came to find you, but you can't give a name or physical features, nor do you have contact details. How can you say Noelle Meyer instructed you to do this?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Adriana sneered, "This... leader, haven't you ever dealt with women? Us kind of escorts can easily get caught, you know? Usually, we don't maintain intentional contact with people, it's all for safety, honestly."

After she said this.

She yawned.

She said, "I've said it, that Secretary General Levin is the one I had relations with; I'll take responsibility for my actions. Whether you want to imprison me or execute me, no matter the result, I, Adriana Eames, bear it all, just stop asking so many questions, it's annoying…"

"Bang!"

The preliminary examiner slammed the table with his palm.

He angrily said, "Adriana, what's your attitude?"

"What attitude? Did I come to surrender? Isn't my attitude good enough? The matter has happened, why keep asking, asking, asking? Asking, what's the point? Can the dead come back to life? Each one of you is really laughable…"

Such sarcastic comments.

Again infuriated the preliminary examiner.

Seeing this.

Dirk Carter quickly patted the examiner's shoulder and said, "Brother, you might be a bit tired, why not go out for a break and get some water…"

"Leader, I'm not tired, this lady…"

He still wanted to argue a few words.

Dirk Carter glared.

He said, "I say you're tired, so you're tired, get out!"

With this commanding tone.

The preliminary examiner got Dirk Carter's implicit message.

He quickly said, "I am indeed somewhat tired, I'll go out to get some water first, leader, please keep an eye on things..."

After this examiner left.

Dirk Carter stood up as well.

He walked to the recording DV machine and directly turned it off.

In the surveillance room, Ryan Rhodes and others were momentarily stunned, not knowing what Dirk Carter intended to do.

Ryan Rhodes was the most anxious.

He immediately stood up.

He said, "What is Secretary General Carter doing? This violates regulations; I cannot let him make mistakes."

Just as he was about to turn and leave.

The grinning Heath Woods quickly stopped him.

He said, "Director Rhodes, don't worry, Secretary General Carter is skilful in disciplinary work, and interrogation is no problem for him. Your guy was just tired, so he turned off the surveillance; this complies with regulations."

"But Secretary General Carter can't be alone with a suspect in a room. I still have to go take a look."

Ryan Rhodes heard these words.

Yet he insisted on rushing to the interrogation room.

Heath Woods firmly grasped his arm, pulled out a cigarette, and said, "Director Rhodes, come have a smoke, once we smoke, the surveillance will be back on…"
