Jason cleared his throat, attempting to catch their attention. “You need to look into Susan,” he said, his voice firm yet tinged with hesitation. The officers’ conversation paused, their eyes turning towards him with a mix of surprise and skepticism.
“Jason, you’re just upset,” one officer said dismissively, misinterpreting his insistence as grief. “We understand, but this isn’t the time for baseless accusations.” Jason bit his lip, struggling with the desire to reveal more. He wanted to tell them about the secrets he’d uncovered last summer, about his deep-seated suspicions regarding Susan. But divulging that would mean exposing his own actions, his own secrets.
