An hour later, after Holly had performed the autopsy, she found the cause of death was indeed from the
puncture wound, with no discrepancy in the time of death.
That was problematic.
Indeed, all evidence pointed toward Keira.
As she bit into a small bread roll, pondering over the evidence, she suddenly thought, “Has Keira had dinner tonight?”
She quickly submitted the autopsy report, took a few bread rolls, and headed downstairs.
But as she arrived downstairs, she saw people in the
interrogation room.
She took a random glance and was surprised to see
Keira on the monitor!
Holly rushed over, spotting Keira’s red and swollen eyes. Out of concern, she immediately rushed into the interrogation room and turned off the light!
The room darkened, yet Keira’s eyes still stung a bit.

She looked up in a daze. Everything was white and blurry before her, and her ears caught Holly’s angry query. “What are you doing? Who allowed you to interrogate her?!”
Captain Lincoln stood up, “I did!”
Holly glared at him. “Captain Lincoln, using torture is illegal!”
Captain Lincoln threw his cigarette on the floor and stomped on it with his shoe. “I just turned on the spotlight. It was because she wouldn’t confess!”
Holly’s face darkened. “There’s no need to rush it. An overnight interrogation? Seriously?!”
Captain Lincoln scoffed. “If we don’t interrogate her overnight, should we wait for them to conspire a story? Just to let you know, the person over there is a rich man, and I guess a lawyer has already arrived to handle her bail!”
Holly frowned, “You don’t have to worry. She doesn’t meet the conditions for bail!”
Captain Lincoln said, “How come? Don’t these rich people love to have weird diseases? They can simply

eat happens if
she runs off abroad, then who will be held responsible
for the deceased?!”
Holly replied firmly, “I will!”
Captain Lincoln sneered. “You will take responsibility?
How?”
Holly pointed to her uniform. “I’ll take responsibility with this uniform I am wearing! Is that okay?”
Captain Lincoln didn’t expect her to say this, so he fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, his phone made a noise, he glanced at it and looked up with a sneer. “Dr. Sims, you are too naive… Follow me!”
Holly frowned and followed Captain Lincoln. Once they left the interrogation room, she finally said, “Captain Lincoln, I’m aware of the previous case you’v handled. That rich second-generation used a heart disease as the reason for bail and then escaped abroad, making the case still unsolved. But you shouldn’t generalize by stereotype. I don’t know about others, but Keira Olsen is definitely not one of them…”
However, Captain Lincoln turned back and looked at her. “Really? Her lawyer is already in the front lobby. I

just received information that they’re applying for bail stating she’s ill…”
In the front lobby, the lawyer was filling out the application for bail.
Samuel followed behind Lewis, anxiously pacing around. “Why did it have to be these today?! It’s that time of the month, and Boss will be unwell! She must
receive treatment!”
Lewis frowned. “What kind of disease does she have?”
Samuel sighed. “She has severe iron-deficiency
anemia!”
Iron deficiency?
Lewis suddenly thought of Keira’s WhatsApp name “Need Iron”. What that the reason?
Samuel anxiously said, “Do you think iron-deficiency anemia is a minor ailment? That you could just make it up by supplementing a bit during normal days? My boss’s condition is different! Her disease is strange!”
Samuel sighed, “There isn’t a known reason for her anemia in medical terms. It’s just that her body

strangely doesn’t absorb any iron elements. Therefore, she must go through regulated monthly infusions of iron elements forcibly. She is due for infusion
tomorrow…”
Lewis frowned. “What if she doesn’t receive the
infusion on time?”
Samuel tensed his jaw, “At the very least, she’ll shiver, her face will turn pale, and she’ll feel very weak and dizzy. At its worst, she might even go into shock!”
After going into shock, if she didn’t receive timely treatment, her life could be endangered!
Lewis’s expression turned serious.
He turned to the lawyer. “Do it as fast as possible.”
The lawyer made a bitter face, “Mr. Horton, the process of obtaining bail is somewhat troublesome. Now that it’s midnight, all the regular departments aren’t at work. I’m afraid we can only complete it
tomorrow.”
Lewis looked at Samuel.
Samuel Morgan nodded. “Tomorrow should be fine. Boss always has the iron transfusion two days in

advance. As long as it doesn’t exceed the day after tomorrow.”
Lewis let out a sigh of relief.
The lawyer made another request, wanting to see Keira, but was also rejected on the grounds that it wasn’t allowed in the middle of the night. He was told to come back tomorrow.
Even though they were worried, they had no choice but to leave for now.
Once they had left, Holly, with a stern face, walked over with Captain Lincoln.
Captain Lincoln ordered. “Show Dr. Sims the bail application form for Keira Olsen.”
Once Holly received the form, her eyes fell on the reason. It clearly stated, “Applying for bail due to severe iron-deficiency anemia, and the need for timel
iron infusion to maintain her life.”
Holly clutched her fists tighter.
Captain Lincoln glanced at her and sneered. “See?
Your trusted friend didn’t even bother to use a serious illness like heart disease as an excuse. Instead, she’s
12:12 – )

using something as ridiculous as anemia. Dr. Sims, you
are truly naive! These rich second-generation people have no bottom line!”
Holly shivered slightly, feeling as if she had been deceived once again!
The cunning girl indeed said she trusted her, but then turned around and tried to secure bail using a
ridiculous excuse like anemia. Keira was completely making a fool out of her!
She took a deep breath and abruptly turned around, striding toward the interrogation room.
Captain Lincoln followed beside her. “These rich second-generation people are all selfish. They com all sorts of wrongdoing and find various excuses to avoid punishment. I carefully investigated the record and it was clear that the only reason she attacked the man was to prevent him from asking her for money. C course, it was indeed manslaughter, since no one would expect a steel bar to be lying on the ground!
“I’ve strictly followed the rules by conducting an overnight interrogation so that she wouldn’t have time to think of an excuse. It’s only because she’s your

classmate that you gave her a shortcut. Dr. Sims, both you and I know that the real rule-breaker here is you! You are too soft-hearted and haven’t been in this profession for long. Don’t let her deceive you. Who
knows whether you’ll still be able to wear this uniform in the future?”
Holly tensed her chin, sped up, and entered the interrogation room.
Keira’s eyes had improved quite a bit by this time. Her hands were also released, and someone had poured her a cup of water.
She took a sip just in time to moisten her dry lips right when Holly walked in with a stern expression.
She asked, “Keira Olsen, you never really trusted m from the beginning, did you?”
Keira was taken aback, “I do trust you.”
“You do?” Holly Sims clenched her fists, “Then what is this bail you’re applying for? And you lied about having anemia. That’s something we can easily verify!”
Only then did Keira realize it was time to get an iron
infusion.

That was something that Samuel always remembered for her, and she had almost forgotten about it.
She lowered her eyes. “I really do have anemia.”
“You’re still lying!” Holly was about to explode with anger. Suddenly, she grabbed Keira’s hand, took out a needle, pierced Keira’s finger, and collected some capillary blood.
After doing all this, she didn’t forget to disinfect it with an alcohol sponge, then furiously let go of Keira’s
hand.
She stood upright, “I’m going for a check now, I hope you didn’t lie to me!!”
