Chapter 450 Successful Arrest
Ophelia couldn't move since her water had broken; otherwise, she would have hurried to the police station.
She wanted to know what was going on and see Magnus for the last time.
She had just sent Seraphina and Dovie away. 'Why did something happen to Magnus too? How did Magnus die? Why did he go to the CC Club? Why did he fall to his death?' she thought.
Ophelia felt there was definitely something suspicious.
"Ophe, calm down first. I'll go to the police station now." Finnegan wanted to stay with Ophelia, but he knew Ophelia very well. She would rather he check on Magnus now.
Finnegan made a call to ask Celia and Tate to come over. Only then did he felt at ease leaving.
Just after Finnegan left, Niamh emerged from behind a car in the parking lot, watching him depart before heading towards the maternity ward.
Ophelia entered the delivery room with Celia by her side. She was only three centimeters dilated and still had to wait.
While waiting, Ophelia couldn't stop crying, her heart in turmoil.
Celia advised from the side, "Ophelia, you can't cry while giving birth."
Ophelia couldn't stop her tears. Magnus's accident caught her off guard.
At the police station, Finnegan arrived and found Landon, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Abbott." Landon, who had been busy all night, just sat down to rest for a moment. "Isn't your wife giving birth? Why are you here?"
"Magnus had an accident. Ophelia wouldn't just ignore it," Finnegan asked, "Was it an accident or intentional?"
"Sorry, I didn't know Ophelia was giving birth today," Landon said, "We received a call last night at one in the morning. Magnus fell from the rooftop, and luckily a branch slowed his fall, preventing an instant death. A passerby found him and called an ambulance, which arrived immediately and attempted to save him, but it was unsuccessful. Currently, it appears that Magnus had been drinking and fell from the rooftop."
Finnegan frowned, "Drinking?"
"His blood alcohol level was above the limit," Landon said, "However, from my years of experience in handling cases, there seems to be something fishy. We haven't found anyone who was drinking with Magnus. There was no surveillance provided by the CC Club, as they were renovating the club these past few days, preparing to replace equipment and surveillance. The old surveillance had been removed, and the new one hadn't been installed yet."
As Landon spoke, he poured a cup of water for Finnegan. "Magnus had been investigating Seraphina's death. Did you know about this?"
"He's a lawyer. Why was he investigating Seraphina's death?" Finnegan furrowed his brows. "Have you had any contact with him before?"
Landon told the truth. "Not long ago, Magnus approached me. He found out that before Seraphina was arrested, someone had brought her a cup of coffee. I investigated the surveillance footage, and at the time, I didn't pay attention. Magnus was following along. Indeed, someone had brought Seraphina a cup of coffee. This person was named Rex. Coincidentally, this Rex works at the CC Club."
Finnegan said, "So Magnus went to the CC Club because of this Rex. He might not have fallen to his death by accident."
"Exactly. That's the current suspicion. The coroner just released the findings," Landon said. "The alcohol in Magnus’s body was forced into him."
Forced alcohol intake and voluntary drinking were different. There was alcohol in Magnus's nose and respiratory tract, indicating forced intake, causing him to choke. Only a coroner could distinguish this.
It's like the difference between drowning after death and drowning while alive.
Just then, a police officer came in. "Landon, the suspect Rex has been arrested. Our people caught him at the train station. If it had been any later, he would have escaped, making it harder for us."
Landon said, "Good, I'll come over for the interrogation later."
This arrest went surprisingly smoothly.
"Okay." The colleague left.
Landon said to Finnegan, "I'll go for the interrogation first. Maybe we solve Seraphina's case this time as well."
"Alright, you go ahead."
Finnegan remained calm. 'What secrets lay behind this CC Club? Rex, Niamh, Seraphina, Deacon. What connections do these people have with each other?' he thought.
