Several police officers immediately walked in. Two of them walked up to Rosie and put her in handcuffs while the rest lifted Anya from the floor and handcuffed her.
It took Anya a few seconds to register what was happening, but when she did, she immediately struggled. "What is this? What right do you have to handcuff me?!" she screamed.
"Miss Anya, you're suspected of abetting others to commit contract killing. We need you to come with us to the station to help with the investigation," said the lead officer.
Anya chuckled coldly. "Where's the proof of me having done what you're accusing me of? Did that b*tch Corinne put you all up to this? Heh! You'll be a fool if you think what she said can be trusted. I'm not going to the station with you all!"
The lead officer frowned. "Miss Corinne has given us a piece of conclusive evidence. In the voice recording she provided us, you were heard encouraging Rosie to hire an outlaw to run Corinne over with a car. You now have to come to the station for an interrogation."
Anya's mouth widened in disbelief. "What voice recording? That's impossible!"
She made sure to destroy the original voice recording. Corinne could not have gotten her hands on one!
The lead officer knew it would be useless to reason with a person who was not in their right mind, and it was not like he could haul her back to the station without using force. Thus, he took out a voice recording player and played the evidence for everyone there to hear.
The unedited version of the conversations between Anya and Rosie began to play.
'What… How…' How could something she had deleted appear again?
"Tsk, tsk! If only you spent some time learning about the latest technological advancement instead of scheming, you would've figured out that what you thought was my ghost was nothing but a holographic projection of my real body!" said Corinne with a smirk.
"Why you!" Anya was so angry that she became lost for words.
'I should've known it was a holographic projection! That d*mn Corinne! How did she ever come up with such an idea?! Ugh! I hate her so much!'
The officers had lost their patience by then. Not caring whether Anya was willing to cooperate, they finally resorted to using force to escort her out.
