Chapter 1342
Amelie was startled.
She turned around and looked over. In the night, an army green jeep stopped quietly behind the taxi, and the owner of the sound just now was Anthea, who was jumping down from the passenger seat. A tall man was also walking towards Amelie.
It was Adam. Dressed in military uniform, he looked like the judge of Varna in hell.
Amelie froze there.
Why were they here?
The uneasiness she had felt before was getting stronger and stronger.
The police officer spoke cautiously with an cold expression. "Miss Celestin, let me repeat it again. Please go with us to assist in the investigation! There was a murder case of gas leaking in a residential area just now. We suspect you have something to do with it!"
Amelie's heart was racing. She tried her best to ease her emotions and make herself look calmer. "I don't know what's going on! I just couldn't fall asleep recently, so I walked around!"
"I did just pass by the residential area you mentioned, but I don't know a murder case happened there. It sounds incredible that. I think you'll know that you have come to the wrong person, if you learn who I am!"
"Really?" Anthea sneered.
Amelie clenched her fists.
Just as she was about to continued to defend herself, she saw Anthea suddenly turn to the side.
Behind her, Wesley's wife showed up with her daughter in her arms.
Amelie looked as if she had seen a ghost.
After making sure that she was not mistaken, her face instantly turned pale.
Her eyes widened in shock and her voice trembled. "How could you..."
How could a person who should be dead now appear again? This was impossible!
The woman was glaring at her with red eyes.
The little girl in her arms was half asleep. They both looked fine, not like the people who were poisoned by carbon monoxide at all.
Actually, they had only sucked a small amount of carbon monoxide, which was mild. After they breathed in fresh air, they became all right. When they were in a panic in the room, the people arranged by Adam entered through the window of the washroom and rescued them. This was actually a trap set up by Adam.
And his purpose was to trap Amelie.
In the beginning, he deliberately released the news that Wesley's wife and daughter were hiding in Francis, in order to let Wesley in prison and the person behind the scenes know about it. Then he arranged the mother and daughter to be brought back for further investigation, so that the person behind the scenes would definitely do something.
On the way from the airport to the downtown area, the two policemen deliberately let their own guard down to cause the mother and daughter being taken away secretly. And then they could catch this hidden snake for sure!
Amelie had also understood this when she saw the woman. Her head started buzzing.
She held her breath and racked her brain to think of countermeasures.
But the next second, she saw Adam suddenly take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. He showed the screen to the crowd, and he was in a video connection with Wesley. Wesley was sitting on a chair in cuffs in the prison. It was obvious that he was being questioned.
In the dead silence of the night, Wesley's agitated voice rang out. "It's her! It's Amelie Celestin! Six years ago, Madam Jiles wanted to hire me to kill Master Hsu, but she regretted it later and stopped me. It's Amelie Celestin who paid me to hit Master Hsu. And she did the same thing six years later. She gave me a lot of money and asked me to kidnap Miss Lee and then kill her!"
"It's also her who bribed me to accuse Madam Jiles of doing all these crimes. She had said that it was best if Madam Jiles could be irritated to death with the defamation!" "Madam Jiles had never thought that she would be trapped by Celestin!"
"Celestin had promised me that as long as I listened to her and did not betray her, she would let my wife and daughter live a good life without worries. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger!
"I did what she said, but she went back on her words and wanted to kill my wife and my child. I couldn't help her anymore. I will tell you everything."
Adam turned off the video connection.
Wesley's confession was already enough for Adam. Then all the other details would be investigated clearly by the police.
There was no expression on Anthea's face, which was as cold as ice. She had never been so angry.
Adam held her hand, and her nails were almost digging into his palm.
Before tonight, Anthea still had doubts in her mind. She didn't expect that it was really Amelie.
Even though they were rivals in love, Amelie had always been valiant in her heart. But now Amelie was not worthy of being a soldier at all after what she had down. She had deliberately broken the law! Now it was not difficult to guess Amelie's purpose of hitting Master Hsu six years ago.
She only wanted to prevent Anthea and Adam from being together!
Amelie was so vicious. Master Hsu's death would make Anthea and Adam feel guilty for their whole life.
It was intolerable that Mrs. Jiles tried to kill Master Hsu for property, but Amelie's behavior was even more intolerable!
She was insane!
Adam looked at Amelie and asked sharply, "What else do you want to say?"
Nothing!
All the evidence was clear, and she was caught on the spot!
Amelie was petrified now.
She should have been more cautious, but she had lost her head. And now she was completely trapped and exposed herself!
Her legs went weak, and she finally couldn't hang on and collapsed on the ground, pale-faced.
The police officers came forward and handcuffed her, saying in an indifferent voice, "Miss Celestin, now we're arresting you for a first-class murder. You have the right to stay silent, but every word you say will become evidence in court."
A deep sense of despair overwhelmed Amelie.
She was doomed! ...
The next morning, Anthea and Adam got up early and went to the cemetery.
They were going to pay respects to Master Hsu at his tomb.
The person behind the scenes was finally caught!
The police had investigated everything clearly. Master Hsu's case that had happened six years ago and Anthea's case six years later, as well as the attempted murder of Wesley's wife and daughter last night were all settled.
Although the latter two didn't succeed, they had already constituted a crime.
In addition, there was one more thing that was revealed.
Madam Jiles had had sudden heart attack, but her death was not due to the invalid rescue, but Amelie had used dirty tricks to end her life!
For the first time, Anthea thought a person deserved death!
