“Mr.Reed,where were you between 9:50 and 10:30 pm on the night of June 12th?”an officer asks.
Mason Reed furrows his brow.
“That night...I was with my girlfriend.We watched a movie and I dropped her home afterward.”
“Any evidence to support this?”
"Yeah,my assistant can confirm my whereabouts,"he said cockily.
Mason Reed calls his assistant and shows the police his movie ticket.
Just then,the door bursts open,and a familiar figure rushes in.
“Mason Reed,you heartless scumbag!”It’s Skylar.
Skylar’s eyes are red,her face stained with tears.
“You know what happened that night,don’t you?Mason Peyton told me she was working late for you,and you were with your mistress instead!”
“Ms.Cheng,please calm down.Obstructing justice will lead to arrest.”
The police intervene as Skylar’s emotions escalate.
“You’re cold-blooded!That night,Mason Peyton was helping you,and you were with your lover!”
Mason Reed remains composed.
“Skylar,calm down.Mason Peyton chose to work late;it has nothing to do with me.”
The officer interrupts.
“We’ve found Peyton’s body.”
The room falls silent.
