Helping with the Investigation

Caroline chuckled when she heard Jeffrey's words. "Why? It's been a few days, and you're only feeling sorry now?"

"You're right. My heart does ache." Jeffrey looked down at the white foam on the coffee cup. "But I'm more concerned about the cause of the fire, and that's what I want you to help me."

Caroline pretended to be surprised and raised her eyebrows. "Didn't the police report that the fire was caused by a faulty circuit? Did you notice something wrong?"

Although Jeffrey hadn't met her gaze, he had been observing her reaction from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she really didn't know anything, he couldn't tell if she really didn't know or if she was pretending.

However, since he had already come to probe, he definitely could not give up halfway.
