Chapter 1059: Evening Star Arc, That Young Girl Committed Murder
Life went on fairly steadily for over a week; Vincent Warner did not come to the store again, nor did he appear.That night it rained, and like usual, Stella Charlie took the bus home after work.
The tenants at the end of the corridor invited people over to drink and play cards, making quite a racket.
In the poorly soundproofed apartment, Stella Charlie had no choice but to put on headphones and turn the music up to the maximum volume.
She fell asleep, exhausted from the day, amidst the blaring music in her headphones.
"Bang—"
"Bang—"
In the middle of the night, the loud noise of the iron door being slammed woke Stella Charlie from her sleep.
She hurriedly sat up in bed, took off her headphones, and heard the heavy pounding on her door.
It was her door being pounded on.
"Open up, you little bitch, let uncle take good care of you!"
The drunken male voice was accompanied by the sound of the door being kicked again.
The already old and rusty iron door shook with the force of the drunk man’s kicks.
Stella Charlie shrunk in fear at the head of the bed, reaching into her drawer to tightly grip a pair of scissors.
Her hand trembled uncontrollably as she dialed the emergency number.
As the call connected, the door was kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a beer bottle in hand stumbled inside, lunging straight toward Stella Charlie at the head of the bed.
In the midst of her terrified struggle, the phone fell to the ground, and the voice of the dispatcher asking questions remained unanswered.
With the girl’s terrified screams, suddenly came a muffled grunt from the man.
Seeing the blood flowing from the man’s abdomen, Stella Charlie loosened her grip on the scissors with trembling hands.
Seeing the blood on her hands, Stella Charlie was so frightened she lost her composure, pushed away the man grimacing in pain, and ran out of the room in a panic.
Other tenants poked their heads out to see what was happening, and not long after, police cars and ambulances arrived in quick succession.
"It was that young girl who committed murder, I saw her running out of the room," an older woman pointed to Stella Charlie, who was still shaken in the corner, and said to the police.
Stella Charlie watched as the beer-bellied man was lifted onto the ambulance, her expression dazed as she was taken to the police station.
In the police car, Stella Charlie incoherently explained to the police what happened.
"Don’t be nervous, young lady. It was you who called the police at three seventeen, right?"
"... It should be, I didn’t look at the time."
"What’s your name?"
"... Stella Charlie."
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
The questioning officer paused, then asked, "Do you live alone? Where are your guardians?"
Stella Charlie lowered her head in silence.
The other officer beside her glanced at Stella Charlie twice and quietly said, "Isn’t this the girl from the accident with Second Young Master Warner some time ago? Her family left her unattended in the hospital; at that time, it was Kiki who went to investigate."
After arriving at the police station, Stella Charlie was taken to an office for questioning.
Officer Kiki saw the bloodstains on Stella Charlie’s dress and immediately called Vincent Warner: "Mr. Warner, that Miss Charlie seems to be in trouble, do you want to come over?"
Stella Charlie was immersed in the emotion of having killed someone; she appeared somewhat dazed and disoriented, her hands and feet cold and trembling uncontrollably.
"My husband is still lying in the hospital, he is the victim! How dare you say he molested an underage girl?! It must be that little vixen seduced him! I’ve disliked her ever since she moved in!" a woman’s sharp voice rang out in the police station lobby.
