Lucinda bit her lower lip and stared at Carmelo’s lifeless corpse.
Whoever killed Carmelo struck only after finding out that she would be interrogating him.
Was the person provoking her on purpose?
Amon inspected all the people inside the station, from officers to outsiders, but found no suspects. Then he checked the surveillance footage.
