In the interrogation room, the stark white light shone on James Yelric's face, which was slick with cold sweat.
He swallowed hard, his whole body trembling. "Officer, I... I didn't kill anyone. C-Can you just let me go?"
Henry Stark eyed him coolly. "James Yelric, what was your relationship with Polly Eames?"
"Polly Eames was my girlfriend." James Yelric's eye twitched, but his tone was calm. "But she's been missing for days. Who knows if she ran off with another man, leaving me to take care of her two kids."
"Is that so?" Henry Stark's dark eyes narrowed as he asked in a low voice, "Who did Polly Eames run off with?"
"How would I know?" James Yelric sighed. "I'm out earning money, and she's fooling around behind my back. How could I possibly know?"
Henry Stark's voice was grave. "You say Polly Eames ran off with another man, but we found her body in the freezer at your house."
