The Rebirth of Sophia Green | COMPLETED

Chapter 191-200

Chapter 191

He was young but looked mature. He sat Sophia down and then asked her a few questions.

"What time did you meet her? Why? What did you say?" Christopher asked.

Sophia said truthfully. There was Nothing to hide. Although she had promised Nicole not to tell anyone about the recording, things changed. Nicole was dead. The truth could help the police find the murderer as soon as possible.

"So, she went to see you give you the recording?" Christopher glanced at his note, "Then, where is the recording?"

"I gave it to Clarence. His friend was wronged. I hope it can help to prove her innocence," said Sophia.

Christopher then asked a police officer to call Clarence and ask him to come to the police station with the recording.

Sophia finished what she knew and asked, "How did she die? Any idea who did it?"

Christopher said, "I can't tell you much about this right now. When the investigation is over, we will tell the public."

It was a completely official tone.

The victim was a star. If the news got out, journalists and fans might step in to disrupt the investigation. Before Sophia came out, Christopher asked her not to tell the case.

Sophia had helped the police before and knew something about this. She had told her classmates who came to Plain with her not to publicize it.

As she stepped out of the door, Sophia heard someone in the next room shouting, "It wasn't me. How could I be the killer? I'm a detective! What does detective mean, you know? How could the detective be the murderer?"

When Sophia heard the voice, she knew it was Benjamin. She stopped and asked Christopher, "I know this guy. Do you suspect he's the murderer? I don't think it's him."

Christopher said, "Since you know him, come in."

He opened the door and led Sophia into the room.

Sophia's appearance was like a life-saving straw to Benjamin. He shouted, "Tell them, sister, Nicole was just my client! You saw she come to me that day, right? She was just my client. I followed her because she said someone had been stalking her, and I was trying to find out that person. I'm not the murderer. Why should I kill her?"

Sophia then understood everything. Nicole had probably been stalked before. To find out the stalker, she entrusted Benjamin with it. Then, Nicole was killed, and the police might have found that Benjamin had been stalking her from some surveillance. So, he became a suspect.

The officer questioning Benjamin asked Sophia, "Are you his sister?"

"No."

Benjamin shouted again, "I am really a detective. Great detective! My name is Benjamin Terry, the famous detective, Benjamin Terry!"

"Never heard of it... I've heard of David Terry. He's very popular. He solved several major cases."

Benjamin looked happy. "Yes, that's my father."

It was not difficult to prove David's identity. He provided his passport, which could help prove that he was David's adopted son. He also found some photos of David talking to reporters. In these pictures, the one behind David was him.

That didn't entirely clear him, but it did give the police a little more trust in him. After all, David was famous and trustworthy.

Christopher said, "So... you accepted the entrustment of Nicole to investigate the stalker. Then tell me what you know."

Benjamin proved his identity and was relieved. It was not good to be considered a suspect.

"She came to me the other day and said someone had sent her threatening letters and stalked her. She was scared and asked me to help investigate it. She was looking for my father, but my father did not want to come for this and let me act for it." Benjamin said, taking out his cell phone. "She didn't give me a threatening letter, so I took a photo."

Christopher took over the phone, printed out the pictures, and gave it back to Benjamin.

"So, what did you find out? "asked Christopher.

"Nothing. I followed her for days, trying to catch the stalker, but I never saw anyone stalking her. Weird! I thought it was just her psychological effect, so I didn't do that these days. Well, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If I had known this, I would have followed her all the time."

Sophia was speechless. Benjamin had no professional ethics at all. Nicole probably heard the name of David and thought Benjamin was as good a detective as his father. But she didn't think Benjamin couldn't match his father at all.

Benjamin did not do his duty as a detective, but that did not make him responsible.

Christopher frowned, "She found someone stalking her... Shouldn't she call the police? Why did she go to a detective?"

Benjamin said, "She said she was a star, if she called the police, it would certainly be known, and it would affect her image."

Christopher said, "Nonsense. We have professional qualities; we will never tell."

Sophia also felt that if Nicole had chosen to call the police instead of looking for an unreliable detective like Benjamin, she might not have died.

Her knowledge of the case was too limited to analyze anything. She wanted to help, but in her capacity, the police would not tell her too much about it.

The police asked Benjamin some more details and let him go. In fact, they didn't have any evidence that Benjamin was the killer, and they just wanted to ask him some questions.

Sophia waited for Benjamin to go together. Then, something came to her mind.

"By the way, Christopher," Sophia said, "when I saw Nicole that night, she was with her assistant. Later, when she left, she wore a mask and left with the taxi herself."

Christopher said, "I know. You said that, didn't you?"

Sophia continued, "I mean... Will a person who is stalked and intimidated go out to see someone alone at night? If I were Nicole, I'd have several bodyguards with me. As a star, she had enough money to do that. I don't know her well, but I know she's a very thoughtful person.. It's not like something she would do."
