Isabella froze, startled. Her anger vanished at once, replaced by anxiety. “My husband… what happened to him p>
Ezra adjusted the brim of his cap. “Sorry. I can’t tell you p>
“You…” Isabella’s expression hardened. She stepped forward and blocked the officers outside. “My husband isn’t home p>
Ezra looked helpless, but he still explained, “Ma’am, we checked the surveillance footage. Mr. Fleming has already entered this residential area p>
“Entering the area doesn’t mean he came home,” Isabella said coldly. “Please leave. Otherwise, I’ll file a complaint p>
She raised her phone as she spoke, clearly ready to use her connections to force the officers out.
At that moment, Dominic walked over from inside with a smile. “Captain Sanchez, what brings you here today p>
Isabella stiffened. She turned around at once and asked anxiously, “Honey, why did you come out p>
Dominic ignored her and said, “Please come in. Lilith, greet him p>
With no other choice, Isabella stepped aside.
Lilith had been lost in thought moments earlier. When she saw her father smiling, relief washed over her. She called out sweetly, “Hello, Mr. Hat p>
Ezra smiled, patted her head, and replied, “Hello to you too, little one p>
“Please, sit.” Dominic gestured toward the sofa, then went to pour a few glasses of water.
Ezra waved his hands repeatedly. “No need, no need p>
Dominic smiled. “You came to see me today. Is something wrong p>
Ezra paused. He had planned to take Dominic back to the station, but with the child present, he said instead, “We’ll need to borrow some of your time p>
Dominic nodded. “Let’s talk in my room p>
He stood and headed toward the bedroom.
Before he could go far, Isabella stopped Ezra and said firmly, “Officer, I don’t want my husband harmed in any way p>
Ezra frowned. “Ms. Sinclair, we’re handling this according to regulations. Please don’t jump to conclusions p>
Isabella replied coldly, “So you know who I am. That makes things easier p>
Before she could continue, Dominic interrupted with clear irritation, “Isabella, what does this have to do with you? Go watch the kitchen. There’s french toast in the pan. Once it’s done, wait two minutes, then turn off the heat p>
Isabella turned back and answered obediently. She shot Ezra a warning glare, then twisted her hips and walked into the kitchen.
Inside the master bedroom, only Dominic and Ezra remained. The other two officers stood guard outside the door.
Dominic offered a cigarette with a smile. “Want one p>
Ezra accepted it and sighed. “Not bad p>
Dominic smiled. “You came all this way today. What is this really about p>
Ezra nodded, his expression turning serious. “Where were you from midnight to three this morning p>
He fixed his gaze on Dominic’s eyes.

“ I was at a cyber cafe,” Dominic replied calmly.
Ezra already knew this from the surveillance footage. Dominic had stayed there overnight, which gave him a solid alibi. Otherwise, Ezra would have taken him in for questioning immediately.
“As far as I know, you rarely go to cyber cafes,” Ezra said. “Why were you there last night p>
Dominic sighed. “To be honest, I’m divorced, but my ex–wife won’t let go. I’ve moved out, yet she still followed me. Because of my daughter, I can’t force her away. I was especially upset last night and didn’t want to face her, so I spent the night at the cafe p>
Ezra nodded, but his brows remained tightly drawn, heavy with confusion.
Dominic seemed to recall something. “Captain Sanchez, you’ve asked all this. What exactly happened p>
Ezra glanced at him. “Three people died last night. A family of three p>
“A family of three…” Dominic murmured. Then his eyes widened. “That family? That little bastard Adam p>
Ezra nodded silently.
Dominic sneered, “Serves them right. Trash like that deserved it p>
“Watch your words, Dominic,” Ezra said flatly.
“You don’t know how disgusting they were,” Dominic snapped. “You know about the hospital incident last time, right? I was close friends with the victim, Wendy. I went to see her parents last night. Guess what I saw? Those beasts were there. ”
