"I don't know what you two police officers are here to see me about?"
After pouring water for the two of us, Emily Brown sat on the sofa diagonally opposite us and asked.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. Her husband had suddenly died of shock, and Emily Brown knew about it. Of course, we were here to ask about her husband's situation. Did she really not know such a simple and reasonable situation, or was she lying?
"We're here to ask about the situation of your husband, Jason Miller. After the forensic identification, your husband did not die a normal death. Do you have any clues that you can provide?"
I was also quite experienced at that time, and I naturally knew how to start asking questions.
"Clues? My husband was very kind to others. He usually didn't even offend people. How could there be someone who wanted to kill him?"
Emily Brown looked at us and said this, with an obvious look of anger on her face.
"Ms. Brown, we police officers don't speak without evidence. Your husband did not die a normal death. Can I ask, has your husband been having meals at home these days?"
I was not influenced by Emily Brown's emotions and continued to ask.
"No, my husband has rarely come home for meals during meal times recently. However, he basically had breakfast and lunch at home."
"Alright, we have already understood the basic situation. I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Ms. Brown."
"It's okay. You came here for my husband's matter, and I can understand."
My colleague Lily Davis and I stood up and said goodbye and left, and Emily Brown naturally got up warmly to see us off.
After going downstairs, opening the car door, and getting into the police car, Lily Davis had already somewhat understood the case in my hand, so she asked me curiously, "Do you think the deceased's wife is suspicious?"
"Yes, and she has a big problem."
I didn't hesitate and directly made a judgment.
"Uh? Why?"
Lily Davis was very confused after hearing what I said. It was obvious that this woman didn't see even one suspicious point about Emily Brown.
"Don't you think she's a bit too calm?"
"Calm?"
"Is a wife whose husband has just died really going to be as calm as her? Not only is she calm, but if they were really a very loving couple, her current situation is also a bit too strange. Not to mention the traces of tears, even her mental state is completely fine.
Under normal circumstances, if such a loving couple suddenly loses one of them, their mental state will more or less be affected. And it is obvious that Emily Brown has not been affected at all."
My tone was very calm, but Lily Davis didn't listen calmly.
"I really didn't expect that someone who started as an auxiliary police officer like you has such strong insight."
"Alas, it's all accumulated through experience."
At that time, I was definitely considered experienced. By then, it had been three years since I became an auxiliary police officer and joined the police station. I had experienced a lot of things in these three years. I won't talk about them now, and I'll talk about them later.
"I really envy you for being able to stay on the front line all the time. Unlike me, I basically do some logistical investigation work."
Seeing Lily Davis looking melancholy, I couldn't help but comfort her, "It's okay. Your future is better than mine. After all, you graduated from a police academy. Just your background is much higher than mine, I don't know how much."
As I spoke, I started the police car. However, I didn't take Lily Davis back to the police station. Instead, I went to the next place where I was going to interrogate someone.
I had already obtained the workplace of Jason Miller from the information. What I had to do now was to go to the factory where Jason Miller worked to find out about his interpersonal relationships and see if I could get some useful clues.
