The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The next morning, in the interrogation room. 

"I already told you. I have nothing to do with Detective Paul's death." Xia Luna insisted for the umpteenth time. 

"All the evidence is pointed towards you." The policeman snarled. 

"What evidence?" Xia Luna was irritated. 

"You are the only outsider that appeared in his house within the last forty-eight hours and no one saw you enter or leave. What business do you have sneaking into people's houses?" 

"I already said I will not answer that without a lawyer." Xia Luna licked her chapped lips. 

"You are a wanted criminal, you were caught in another crime scene and you still insist on finding a lawyer? What do you think this is, a joke?" 

Xia Luna saved her breath. This man had been trying to rile her up ever since she got arrested. Was he trying to make her lose control and fight so he would have an excuse to physically assault her? 

The more she stayed here, the more she felt like it didn't make sense. Even if Lanni were to hand her over to the police, she wouldn't be so evil as to pay them to harass her. There must be someone else involved here. But who could that be? 

"The truth is clear to everyone, but you still refuse to admit to your crime?" He gritted his teeth. 

Luna bit her lip and pretended not to hear his provocation. She was being accused of two crimes, neither of which she was guilty of. And now she wasn't even being allowed to get a lawyer? What happened to her rights?

"She hasn't confessed to her crimes yet?" A policewoman entered the interrogation room to ask. 

"Nothing." The man shook his head in response. 

The woman walked over to the chair opposite Xia Luna's and patted the man's shoulder. "I'll have a word with her." 

The man retreated, reluctantly letting his colleague take the seat. Perhaps she would be able to talk some sense into her, being both women. 

As soon as it was just the two of them, the policewoman went straight to the point. "When did you go to Detective Paul's house?" 

For some reason, Luna felt a little safer with this woman. She looked genuine, or maybe it was just that she was tired of this push and pull and was resigning to her fate. She sighed and told the truth. "Yesterday in the afternoon." 

"Where were you yesterday in the morning and on the night before?" The interrogation continued. 

"In my apartment." And she was. Cheng Yu could testify that since they lived together but they wouldn't even let her contact anyone. 

The woman asked a few more questions and stood up, still in thought. "Do you know why you are here?" 

"Because you think I had something to do with his death?" Luna shrugged. Wasn't that what they had been saying since the day before? 

"No." The woman said sternly. "We don't just think that you have something to do with his death. All the current evidence is pointed towards you." 

"What?" Luna shook her head in protest. The policeman from earlier had said this too, but she thought he was only trying to make her lose her temper. "But how? You said he died yesterday at 5am. I was still sleeping in my house at that time. I could only at most be charged with trespassing." 

She turned to look at Xia Luna. "You are wanted for escaping criminal charges a year ago. You are so mysterious that there is almost no information about you. There is no trace of you in that house even though you were caught there. Which means you can commit a crime and leave no trail. And two days ago, Paul said that he would stop helping you because he found you guilty from his investigation. This information alone proves that if Paul was in danger from anyone, it would be you." 

"What do you mean?" Luna was confused. "Two days ago, he told me that he had found the truth to prove my innocence. He was going to help me submit it to the court. Why would he also tell me that he found me guilty?" 

"Someone overheard your conversation with him." 

"Who?" 

"His wife." 

Luna laughed in self-ridicule. So that was why they were so sure. And to think that she had wanted to help that woman prove her innocence. She couldn't entirely blame Mrs. Paul, though. If her husband was dead and she was being blamed for his death, she might also lie to get herself out of trouble. 

"But mere words cannot be used as evidence to declare someone guilty." 

"But if you cannot prove your innocence, you will be deemed guilty." 

Luna massaged her temples with a sigh. "What if I can prove that I was at my apartment two nights ago?" 

"You should have done so already. What are you waiting for?" The woman shrugged. 

"I need to speak to my friend." She announced. 

"I see." The policewoman left the interrogation room after obtaining Cheng Yu's details and contact information from Xia Luna. She came back a few minutes later. "Unfortunately, we couldn't reach your friend. However, there is a young woman here to see you. She claims to be your sister." 

Xia Luna was about to roll her eyes and refuse to see Lanni but thinking that she might have misunderstood her, she followed the policewoman out. She stood a short distance away as Luna went over to Lanni. 

"What are you doing here?" She asked as she sat down. 

"How are you? You look pale." Lanni fussed.

"Are you worried about me?" Luna laughed. 

"Of course I'm worried." Lanni glanced at the policewoman at the side and swallowed the scolding she was going to give Xia Luna for sneaking into a crime scene. "I got a lawyer. He should be here any time now." 

"You did?" Xia Luna was now more convinced that Lanni wasn't the one who called the police on her. If Lanni wasn't behind her arrest, then who was?
