The warden who guards the witches

Five minutes later, the warden's office.

Aiden sat down on his seat, took off his police hat and put it on the table, then looked up and saw Veronica still standing in front of him with her hands and feet tied, so he pointed to the guest seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

Veronica nodded and sat down carefully.

"Would you like something to drink? Tea? Coffee?" Aiden asked casually.

Veronica shook her head with a stiff face.

Aiden stared at her for a while and couldn't help laughing: "It feels like just one night has passed, and your personality is different."

When they first met, Veronica gave people the feeling of a cat with its fur standing up. She was full of distrust of everyone around her. Anyone who touched her without knowing how to look would have to tear off a layer of skin on the spot, but now her violent aura that kept people away from her has disappeared.

"What do you want to tell me?" Veronica looked at Aiden and asked.

"I just came back from the Mounted Police."

"Did you meet Bruce?" Veronica's eyes widened.

"Well, I talked to him for a few words." Aiden nodded, "The guy didn't admit anything, but if I were to say it personally, he got you into jail. He only asked a few questions, but he was almost guilty. Now I am more inclined to believe that you were wronged."

Thinking of Bruce's cowardly face, Aiden smiled contemptuously.

Veronica was silent for a while, and grabbed her left wrist with her right hand, grabbing harder and harder, and her nails bit into the flesh.

"I take care of him like my own brother, hoping that he can become an upright police officer. How can he... do this?" She squeezed out words mixed with resentment and disappointment from between her teeth.

"So this is exactly what we need to figure out." Aiden knocked on the table with his knuckles, reminding Veronica to turn her attention back here.

"What?" Veronica was stunned.

"I can see that he is obviously very uneasy about betraying you. Whether it is because of guilty conscience or fear of exposure is another matter, but there must be a reason for him to betray his benefactor and protect another real murderer."

"Are you going to... start with the motive?" Veronica reacted.

"Your IQ is finally up." Aiden smiled knowingly, "That's right. The most common reasons for a person to take risks are nothing more than personal feelings, interests and being forced. The real murderer must have one of these factors. As far as you know, who does this kid have a good relationship with in the RCMP? Is there anyone who can make him take the initiative to do such a thing to protect the other party?"

"No." Veronica shook her head without thinking much, "To be honest, the atmosphere within the RCMP...is not very good. A newcomer like him who has no background and a weak personality will be 100% excluded. It is common for other old people to give him odd jobs. I am already the person who cares about him the most in the entire police force."

"Bullying in the workplace? Then being forced is also possible." Aiden folded his hands and thought for a while, "Does he have any handle in the hands of others? "

"As far as I know, there is none, and..." Veronica thought calmly, "I can hardly imagine any evidence that could be more serious than this."

"Indeed, what is his financial situation?"

"Not very good, I heard him say that he is from a single-parent family, his mother is a textile worker. In the past, his family had to borrow money from everywhere to attend the police academy. The salary of a trainee police officer is not high, only a little more than four pounds a month, and life is relatively tight..."

"That means it is very likely." Aiden held his chin with his hand and thought, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, do you remember who was assigned to patrol during the time period of the incident?"

Veronica understood the reason why Aiden asked this question as soon as she heard it-normally, the mounted police are only allowed to carry guns when on duty.

If the suspect is locked in the mounted police team, the mounted police who patrolled the block at the same time as her that day are the most suspicious.

"I remember, I remember it very clearly." Veronica answered confidently.

"It happened more than a month ago. Are you so sure?"

"After being arrested, I basically think about that day every day." Veronica said seriously, "The cavalry must gather before going out on patrol, so I have an impression."

"That's great." Aiden snapped his fingers, "Then among these people, is there anyone who has the ability to do such a thing?"

Veronica understood what he meant. It is not a trivial matter to perjure someone else to accuse him of a serious crime such as murder. If the real murderer used coercion to force Bruce Kane to perjure himself, or if he did not catch any handle, he must have a certain background or special skills. If the real murderer was bribed by interests, then he must have a certain degree of financial resources.

After checking those people one by one in her mind, she had an answer: "There is one."

"Tell me about it."

"His name is Jaron Roden..."

Veronica just started, and Aiden frowned: "Jaron?"

"What's wrong?" Veronica blinked in surprise.

"Nothing, I think I've seen this guy in the police station." Aiden waved his hand, "Then this Jia Long, does he have a strong background? Or is he quite rich?"

"In terms of background, it can be regarded as a little bit. His father seems to be a member of the Silver City Council. He himself got a position in the Mounted Police Force after having some connections in the family. Basically everyone in the police force knows "He himself often talks about it," Veronica said slowly, "As for money, he should also have it. He is famous for spending money lavishly in the police force. He always carries a gold pocket watch with his family’s coat of arms on it, which he often shows off to others.”

"Sounds like a silly son of a landlord." Aiden commented lightly.

"It can be said that it is said that his father became a congressman only in the past few years. The so-called family he often talked about only became prosperous after his father became a congressman. It is not said that he is a political upstart. That's not an exaggeration." Veronica twitched her lips in disdain, "That guy is also a complete scum, and he is not short of money at all, but he still goes around in his own jurisdiction to get money."

"It sounds like you hate him."

"I had a problem with him. He once wanted me to be his mistress, but I refused." Veronica replied with a straight face, obviously disgusted with this memory, "Besides that, I also He was reported for taking bribes.”

"That's it." Aiden recalled the situation when the fat police officer named Jaron broke into the reception room nervously and interrupted his meeting with Bruce, and nodded thoughtfully, "This guy is quite suspicious. ah."
