Chapter 2: Every Lie Leaves Evidence
Detective Sarah Collins didn't raise her voice.
She simply watched.
Daniel insisted Emma had slipped on spilled food while cooking.
Linda agreed.
But Sarah noticed something neither of them expected.
The broken phone wasn't covered in stew.
It had shattered before the pot hit the floor.
Then came the security footage from the apartment hallway.
Minutes before the incident, neighbors heard shouting.
One resident remembered Daniel yelling,
"You never listen!"
Another heard something heavy crash against the cabinets.
When forensic investigators examined the kitchen, the timeline became even clearer.
The pot hadn't exploded from the stove.
It had been knocked off the island during a struggle.
Sarah sat across from Daniel in the interview room.
She slid a single photograph across the table.
It showed fingerprints on Emma's wrist.
Fresh bruises.
Perfectly matching the shape of someone's hand.
Daniel lowered his eyes.
His breathing grew uneven.
Finally, he covered his mouth.
May you like
"It... wasn't supposed to happen."
The room fell silent.
