Caroline received a call from the police at 10:00 am. regarding the factory fire incident and headed to

the police station.

Upon her arrival, Officer Charlie Boyle kindly offered her a cup of coffee before taking his seat and

addressing her, “I apologize for the delay in solving the arson case, Ms. Shenton. However, there are

some concerning aspects to the incident.”

Caroline took a sip and urged, “Please, tell me what you’ve found.”

Officer Boyle inquired, “Have you noticed anyone around you displaying unusual behavior, Ms.

Shenton?”

Caroline teplied, “My employees have already given their statements Have you identified any

suspects?”

Officer Boyle handed Caroline two folders, and she noticed Caleb and Naomi’s names inside.

With a puzzled expression, she asked, “What’s the issue with Caleb and Naomi’s statements?”

Officer Boyle explained, “The deputy factory manager’s statement lacks detail, while your secretary’s

account of the incident is excessively precise.”

Caroline momentarily contemplated and questioned, “So, you’re suggesting that being too specific

about time is a problem?”

Officer Boyle nodded. “Indeed, it’s uncommon for anyone to recall their actions during a specific time

period with such precision. Your secretary’s statement appears almost rehearsed. Can you recall when

you arrived at the police station, Ms. Shenton?”

Caroline was taken aback. She couldn’t even remember when she received the initial call, let alone her

arrival time at the station.

Officer Boyle smiled and remarked, “You see, it’s challenging for anyone to pinpoint exact times, but

your secretary seems to have no trouble.”

Caroline said, “Perhaps she’s just very meticulous about time.”

“She may be exceptionally attentive to time, Officer Boyle agreed. “You might want to call and ask her

about it.”

Caroline nodded and dialed Naomi’s number.

Before Naomi could answer, Caroline had already formulated her message.

Naomi’s voice came through: “Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline put the call on speaker and asked, “Naomi, when were you supervising at construction site a

few days ago?”

the

Naomi paused briefly before responding. “It was close to noon. I arrived at 12:23 p.m.”

Caroline exchanged a glance with Officer Boyle and asked, “Were the workers present when you

arrived?”

“Yes,” Naomi replied. “I left at 5:11 p.m., and they had already left by 5:00 p.m. On the first day of

construction, they arrived two hours earlier than usual ”

Caroline could hear the sound of machinery in the background. “Noted. Are you at the site now?”

“Yes, I arrived at 8.31 a.m., Naomi confirmed. “Ms. Shenton, I’ll keep track of their working hours.”

“Thank you for your help,” Caroline acknowledged,

After ending the call, Officer Boyle expressed his frustration, “Seems like there are time

management experts out there.”

Caroline recalled Neil’s warning about adept villains hiding in plain sight. She couldn’t afford to take this

matter lightly and stated, “I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else.”

Officer Boyle rose from his seat and replied, “Alright, we’ll continue our investigation.”

As Caroline left the police station, her phone rang. It was Kenny calling

“G! I’m taking the 1:00 p.m. flight this afternoon.”

Caroline got into her car and replied wearily. It seems you’ll be arriving in the early hours of the

morning.”
