The conversation in the prison involved the topic of witches. If I revealed this, it might prove to be disadvantageous to Debra.

I was unable to give my father a clear explanation, so I vaguely said, “Nothing important. We just have a suspicion that someone else orchestrated this whole thing, so we questioned her. However, she not only refuted it, but also lobbed a few insults at Debra. So I forbade her from speaking.
“Did you record the meeting?” My father probed further.
“Ho.”

He became a little worried, “That’s going to put us in a tough spot. Right now, all the evidence points to you as the perpetrator. Public opinion is unfavorable to Debra. The elders even proposed to stop the relocation of the residents of Roz Town.”
My heart sank and I assured him, “Father, don’t worry, I will handle this matter carefully and provide everyone with a satisfactory answer at the earliest.”
Ny father sighed,
“I have bought you two days. That is the maximum concession those old men are willing to make. You have to unearth the truth in two days, or it will be out of my hands.”
Those elders were stubborn. Coupled with the looming pressure of public opinion, even getting a grace of two days to investigate was as good as a miracle.
“Thank you, Father,” I said sincerely.

I took a deep breath to center myself and said, “Zoe, you are a very skilled policewoman. I hope you will assist me with the investigation. You know that Debra trusts you deeply. If we combine forces, we should be able to discover the truth soon.”
“You seem to have changed a bit,” Zoe pointed out in a surprised voice.
“You managed to keep your cool in such a situation.”
If this had happened in the past, we would have got into an argument. I smiled bitterly.

The truth was I was not calm on the inside. Every time I thought of how Debra was being defamed, Damien would lose his temper and demand to tear those bastards apart.
He had been continuously cursing the whole time. His rage also affected me, but I had no choice but to force myself to remain rational.
Debra needed me at this critical moment, and I couldn’t afford to be impulsive.
I suggested, “Let’s examine Jayla’s body first. We at least have to determine the actual cause of her death.”
Zoe didn’t object.
“Okay
We arrived at the forensic department that had been assigned for Jayla’s autopsy. Zoe immediately located the person in charge and asked, “Where is Jayla’s corpse? Have you finished her autopsy?”
