PROFESSOR MAGUIRRE'S FACE flushed with anger, his previously composed demeanor now crumbling under the weight of our questioning. Hinampas niya ang kanyang kamay sa desk, puno ng galit ang kanyang boses. Muntik naman akong mapatalon dahil sa ginawa niya.
"This is preposterous! How dare you insinuate that I had any involvement in Sarah's death?" he exclaimed, his eyes narrowing with a mix of anger and defiance. "I've dedicated my life to academia, to nurturing young minds, and you have the audacity to accuse me? I demand that you end this baseless interrogation immediately!"
"Professor Maguirre, we are conducting a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind Sarah's tragic demise. As law enforcement officers, it is our duty to explore all avenues and consider every possible lead. We have no preconceived notions, but we must follow the evidence and follow where it leads." Inspector Violet maintained her calm composure, her voice steady but firm.
"Evidence? I assure you, there is no evidence linking me to Sarah's death. I've dedicated my career to mentoring students, including Sarah, and helping them thrive. This witch hunt is a disgrace." The professor scoffed, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
I leaned forward, attempting to diffuse the tension in the room. "Professor Maguirre, we understand your frustration, but we have a responsibility to pursue every angle in this investigation. Our intention is not to tarnish your reputation but to seek justice for Sarah. If you truly have no involvement, we encourage you to cooperate fully, providing any information that could help us understand the circumstances surrounding her demise."
Sinamaan ako ng tingin ng propesor, nakakunot ang ulo niya at ang ekspresyon niya ay may halong galit. After a moment, he sighed and slumped back in his chair, his anger dissipating slightly. "Very well. I have nothing to hide. Ask your questions, and I'll do my best to cooperate. But mark my words, this is a waste of time."
As we continued to delve into Professor Maguirre's relationship with Sarah, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The professor's initial anger had subsided, replaced by a sense of resignation. It seemed as though he understood the seriousness of the situation and the importance of cooperating fully.
I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts, and decided to approach the conversation with empathy and a genuine desire to uncover the truth.
"Professor Maguirre, I understand that this investigation may be difficult for you, but we are committed to finding justice for Sarah," I began, my voice calm and measured. "To aid in our understanding, could you provide more details about your interactions with her? Specifically, any instances where tensions may have arisen or any significant events that occurred?"
