Suspect 1: Chloe Raw

You enter the interrogation room. A small windowless room with plain walls and a single metal door. A video camera was adeptly concealed at the corner of the room, making it difficult for an inexperienced person to spot it.

At the center of the small space was a wooden table and three wooden chairs. You immediately spot the woman sitted in one of them.

"Chloe Raw?" You ask.

A middle-aged woman with a ridiculous amount of makeup on, glances at you. She frowns, "What do you guys want from me? I didn't murder Dr Sin"

"I never said you did." You take your sit on the chair across, giving you the leverage to stare directly at her.

The woman has an intense scowl on her face, making it obvious she wasn't willing for the interrogation. You don't let this deter you.

You pull out a recording device before glancing back at her, "Do you mind?"

She rolled her eyes. "Do I even have a say here anymore? Do whatever you want"

You smile in reassurance before clicking it on and begin asking questions.

"Can you account for your whereabouts at the time of the murder?" You ask.

"Yes. I was in my Room the whole time, I only came out when I heard the commotion" She was quick to explain.

"Then how do you explain your fingerprints being on the knife in the crime scene" You ask, raising a brow at her. She is taken aback for a second before lowering her eyes, seemingly thinking about something.

" I don't know what you're talking about. It might've been a coincidence" She tries to defend herself.

" It cannot be a coincidence, Miss Raw, not when it's a weapon used to murder someone "

You quickly write down on your notebook, noting her behavior during the questioning. Seeing you writing down, she slams her hand against the table in annoyance.

"What are you writing? Do you think I murdered Sternly!" She turns aggressive. Eyes bloodshot red, looking like she was about to pounce on someone.

Two policemen quickly held her back, preventing her from doing anything irrational. You smile, unimpressed by her performance.

" I didn't know you and Dr Sternly were on first name basis" Her eyes widened and she stares at you like you've grown two heads. She opens her mouth to speak, but you immediately interrupt her.

"Thank you for your time Miss Raw, I'll get back to you later" You stand up, grabbing your recording device and switching it off. You turn and exit the interrogation room.

The bright light from the corridor almost blinded you when you opened the door, but you quickly closed your eyes to adjust. You reopen them seconds after to find Inspector Jones beside you.

"You did very well Detective" He says.

"Thanks, Inspector Jones " You smile.

"I managed to get my hands on the call history of the victim, here are the files"

You take the files from Detective Jones and inspect it. You notice it contained all call logs, SMS and MMS messages, and voice mails in the victim's phone from the time of the murder.

You look it through and noticed one particular contact called the most within that period. The caller's ID read "Hannah"

You raise your head and smile at Inspector Jones, "Thanks Inspector, this was very helpful"

"Anything for you kid. I would've also gotten you the call recordings, but we have to obtain a court order to do that. We're still working on it" Inspector Jones smiled back.

You both shook hands before going your separate ways. You know where you're headed. You're headed to the next suspect on your list, Hannah Rivera.
