Chapter 170: Why Could You Not Control Yourself?
Several people saw Ronald in the interrogation room. He looked pale and was aware of Eddy’s death.
"Ronald, what's the matter with you?" Rachel gasped anxiously, "Why could you not control yourself?"
"Mrs. Crowe, things haven't been clarified yet." Joshua interrupted her faintly, "We still have to wait until the investigation is finished."
Rachel was stunned. Joshua's reminder made her understand it instantly. What she said made it sound like Ronald was the killer.
Rachel hastily asked, "Ronald, what happened? Just tell us the truth!”
Ronald stared at Joshua. Why was he here? Seeing Hazel leaning on him, Ronald's expression was even nastier.
When Ronald did not answer, Harry urged, "Ronald, now tell us exactly what happened, so we can find out the truth as soon as possible. And, you can get out of here quickly."
"Dad, Mom, I want to have a few words with Hazel." Ronald finally said.
Harry and Rachel looked at each other, and Joshua slightly raised his eyebrows. He held Hazel's hands even tighter.
Hazel was a little bit panicked, but she nodded very quickly, "Okay."
She looked at Harry and Rachel, whispering, "Don't worry. I will definitely ask him."
The two sighed helplessly and left the interrogation room. Hazel gave Joshua a reassuring look, and he followed behind Rachel and Harry.
When they were alone in the interrogation room, Ronald looked at Hazel seriously, “Did you call Joshua?”
Hazel nodded. She didn't expect Ronald to question her.
"He used ‘rescuing me’ as a reason for you to go back to him?" Ronald sighed, "Hazel, you don't have to ask for something for me! This way, even if you saved me, I wouldn't be happy!"
"Ronald, what the fuck are you talking about?" Hazel glared at him. She almost slapped him in the face. "Do you know how serious the situation is now? Actually, you still got the nerve to say something like that?"
When Ronald tried to say something again, Hazel interrupted him with an imposing manner, "Shut the fuck up!"
He closed his mouth awkwardly. Hazel was still angry, she yelled at him rudely, "Ronald, do you know what you are talking about? Didn't you see how sad our parents are? You are their son! You cannot say such an irresponsible thing while you are in this situation, OK?"
Ronald's face changed slightly, he was starting to feel remorseful.
Hazel snorted, rubbed her head, and explained, "And, I did call Joshua, but he didn't ask us to do anything to save you. We are back together because I like him, and I decided to be with him. Whether it is my feelings or his, we will not use them to make a deal."
Ronald stared blankly at Hazel. He was feeling so lost.
"He is good?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Hazel replied without hesitation, "Brother, I know you and our parents don't trust him or like him. But he is the man I picked, and I want to be with him. We will be a family in the future. I hope that you will not be so hostile to him anymore."
Ronald was utterly powerless. Hazel was so determined, she must have made up her mind, and nothing would change that.
"Okay, enough chit chat. Now, tell me quickly, what happened with Eddy?" Hazel frowned.
Ronald sighed, "It's the same as you already know. When we were drinking and singing karaoke, Eddy snuck in with his men so they could beat us. We started fighting, and I pushed him in the chest. He stumbled and hit his head on a table. He was bleeding, and then he yelled that he wanted to go to the hospital and to call the police.”
She asked for some details, and Ronald told her what he knew.
Hazel frowned. The situation was not good for Ronald. Whether it was intentional or not, Ronald did push Eddy, and the Kim Family believed he was the killer. They certainly would not give up easily.
"Well, I understand." Hazel nodded, "Brother, don't worry. Eddy's death may not be related to you. Joshua and I will figure out the truth as soon as possible."
"Well..." Ronald looked at her, a little bit sad. Hazel was relying on Joshua more and more, she was constantly talking about him.
Hazel stepped out of the interrogation room, she told her parents and Joshua the situation, skipping the part of her dispute with Ronald.
Harry and Rachel frowned. Rachel sighed, "I'm still going to the scene to talk to the witnesses and ask them if they can provide any testimony that may help Ronald."
"This is not the way." Joshua shook his head slightly, "No matter how good the testimony is, there is only one way to exempt Ronald from guilt completely."
Harry and Rachel glanced at each other with a surprise. They just thought about helping Ronald reduce the sentence, and Joshua seemed to have a way to exonerate Ronald from a charge?
Harry hurriedly said, "Then you mean..."
"The focus will be, what exactly was the cause of Eddy’s death." Joshua said faintly, "If we find out that the cause of his death has nothing to do with Ronald, then Ronald is naturally not guilty. Ronald just fought with him."
Harry and Rachel began to worry again. Rachel said with a sigh, "After fighting with Ronald, Eddy went to the hospital and died. No matter how you look, there is no way to say Ronald had nothing to do with Eddy's death?"
"Dad, Mom, don't worry." Hazel whispered softly, "We should run through an investigation before we get to that conclusion, and I hate to say it, but Eddy’s death looks pretty far-fetched.
"Yeah." Joshua gently grabbed Hazel's waist and nodded softly.
Looking at the intimacy of the two, Harry and Rachel were uncomfortable. They wanted to say something, but they could not find the words.
"What are we going to do now?" Harry asked.
"Mr. and Mrs. Crowe, take Hazel home with you and leave the rest to me," Joshua said faintly.
Rachel said in worry, “But...”
"Mom, after all, it is the Imperial Capital, not City S. Let's go home first."
Hazel persuaded them, "You can be sure that Joshua will find a way."
The two sighed, agreeing that Hazel was right. If they were in City S, they might still be able to use their own connections to find a solution, but in the Imperial City, they wouldn’t help if they did anything.
Their concern was that Hazel’s dependence and trust in Joshua made them very uncomfortable.
