Getting Caught

I thought about it carefully. Since the woman knew almost all my secrets, I had nothing to hide from her. I simply told her about Matthew.

After hearing it, she said, "Wait a minute. Hold on!"

I heard her tapping and murmur, "Matthew Clark was beaten to death by a mystery man when he broke into a house. The victim destroyed important evidence, which made it difficult for the case to be solved."

"Did I miss anything?" I asked. "I've been waiting for your call. You said you would protect me, but I just came out of the police department. I just went through an interrogation."

The woman said, "Don't be nervous. If I don't contact you, it means the police can't solve the case. The victim has helped you destroy the scene, and you've been careful enough. Don't worry, the police won't catch you. Matthew probably didn't intend to kill the victim. He just wanted to grab some money and leave. You overreacted."
