"What are you in such a hurry for? If you're upright, you don't fear a crooked shadow. If you didn't do it, what are you afraid of? I just want to ask you—why did you take apart the watch I gave you?"
Sebastian's expression instantly froze. "I... I didn't take it apart!" He looked confused.
"You didn't take it apart? Then that's weird. That night I clearly heard you on the phone in the study, saying things like 'the landing gear is taken care of,' 'the oxygen valve is cut off.' What, did the watch break that perfectly, and it just happened to lose that recording?"
"Shut up!" Sebastian suddenly stood, lunging toward me.
Two officers reacted fast and pinned him down in one move.
"Sit down!" Joel slapped the table and looked at him coldly. "Looks like we need to have a good talk about your study. And that watch of yours. Since Savannah says she heard the recording, we have reason to suspect you were destroying evidence."
Sebastian shook his head frantically, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"No! I swear, no! I never took that watch apart—how could there be a recording device inside?"
"She's framing me! She's insane!"
"I've never killed anyone! I never touched that plane!"
