Mistaken By The Billionaire Marquess

CHAPTER 9: Followed

— LIA —

MY SENIOR listened carefully to every word that I said. I told her the same I told to my friends. I made sure not to skip anything, even the tiniest details that I'm not sure will help us in this case. I also told her about Chynna

“The information I know about her is that she’s named Dennise. She’s on the same age range as mine."

After I finished talking, Detective Javier closed her eyes... like she was trying to remember something. I think that my case is not that important compared to the other cases that our team is handling. However, I can’t waste anytime regarding this. Now that Kelleon and his men are here in the Philippines, and the fact that Cloud was able to find my found, I can’t just sit here and do nothing. I need to convince them about the truth I’m saying and save myself.

“Three months ago, I went to Valencia with the other detectives in other departments. The main reason was to meet the current Superintendent of their branch but we also solved a few cases back then,” she started talking.

Valencia is a part of Spain. The only thing that makes sense now is that she was in the same country were I was kidnapped. However, the other parts were unclear and those made me confuse.

“There was a certain case I handled there. Someone stole a huge amount of money and some jewelries in a Viscount’s mansion,” she said and after a moment of silence, she looked at me.

“I was able to retrieve only one CCTV camera from a moving truck that passed the Viscount’s house at the time of the crime. And...,” she stopped talking as if she doesn't want to tell me what happened next.

She let out a heavy sighed. I was almost getting impatient while waiting for her to speak again.

“I saw you...in the CCTV footage. Walking out of the Viscount’s mansion while having black bags in your hand at the time of the crime. You were with another two people."

My breathing stopped for a moment. I can’t even process what she was saying even if her words echoed a lot of times in my head.

“Me? Why—,” my stuttering words were cut short when my senior spoke again.

“At first, I thought it was really you,” she said. “The woman in the CCTV footage is like a carbon copy of yours.”

I can’t speak that all I can do is to shook my head at her statement. It's not me! I’m sure that it’s not me!

“But...” she trailed off. A small ray of hope seep through my system. I was hoping that she will say that the woman in the CCTV footage is not me, and that she believes in what I told her!

“I called Nick. I asked him where you are that time,” she continue. “Nick said that you’re with our chief, making the profile of the suspect in the San Carlos Murder Case.”

I felt relieved on what she said. Finally, there are some people who can vouch for me. There are people who can defend me if ever something bad happens, but I hope something bad won’t happen.

“I investigated about the woman, but I can’t find anything about her. Everythings leads to you. I can’t ask for help to other police in Spain because I’m afraid that they might mistook you as her. And now, I’m sure I made that right decision,” she said with a small smile.

I gave her a small smile as well. “What happened to the case? How about the footage?” I asked her.

“I dropped the case and gave it to another spanish police. Those two people were already caught by the police, but not you. I had to edit the evidence so that you will be removed from that video. I hid the original CCTV footage. Only you and I know about it,” she answered.
