Chapter 438
The next afternoon, Leanna got a call from the police, claiming they saw Elliot coming to her studio sometime before he died. They noticed his frequent contact with the studio, so they wanted to ask her questions and see if they could find any clues. After she ended the call, she got up and took her stuff before leaving her office.
Seeing her exiting the office, Zoe asked, “Where are you going, Nana?”
Leanna responded, “The cops just called. They said they needed my help in the investigation of Elliot’s death as they found out that he had come to our workshop before and that he had a beef with me.”
A frown creased Zoe’s forehead. “What’s that got to do with you? You’re the victim here.”
Leanna smiled faintly. “It’s fine. Just a testimonial record. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay. Call me if you need anything.”
“Sure.”
Once at the police station, the cops first told Leanna to tell them who she was, then they asked her about the relationship she shared with Elliot. They also wanted to know when the last time she saw him was. She answered all questions honestly. After the testimonial was done, one of the cops gave her an appreciative nod. “Thanks for coming. Your cooperation is much appreciated.”
“No problem.” A momentary pause swooped in. And then, she asked, “How is the investigation going?”
Just as the cop was about to answer, she saw Queenie arrive at the police station.
