The Widow's Secret Chapter 12

I moved away with Lana.

The pressure in the village was too great. Lana and I hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.

Then I received news.

Someone had confessed to Susan Miller's case.

The person who confessed was Captain Wilson!?

I absolutely didn't believe it. Wilson's reputation in the village—he was a total good guy. Susan Miller's popularity couldn't compare to his at all.

Wilson had no reason to kill Susan Miller!

That's right.

His confession was the same—the confession failed.

Because he didn't know the case details and got many crime scene details wrong.

For example:

Wilson claimed he committed the crime in the morning and, seeing Lana pass by Miller's door, decided to frame her.

Unfortunately, the details didn't match. After all, a lifelong farmer had no idea how advanced forensic and investigative techniques were these days.

Wilson definitely knew something!

Who was he taking the fall for?

I was confused. I told Lana about this, and she began her own analysis.

"Wilson didn't come forward immediately, which means the killer wanted to frame me. But they didn't expect the frame-up to fail. However, technology is very advanced now—sooner or later they'll find the real killer, so Wilson was pushed out."

"If I'm not wrong, the real killer will release more red herrings to confuse everyone."

Lana's analysis was enlightening. Even if Wilson wasn't involved, he definitely knew something.

"Let's go. We're going back."

Getting to the bottom of this was important. It involved both Lana's and my reputation.
