Ada Phil was not a habitual offender, and her methods were not professional, so once her psychological defenses were pierced, she quickly confessed to the crime.

Luke didn't expend much effort in her interrogation.

The deputy captain and David's questioning also concluded.

Susan gathered everyone in the meeting room for a meeting.

"OK, you can report the progress of the interrogations," she said.

The deputy captain glanced at Luke across from him, "Young man, here's a chance to show what you can do."

Luke said, "After interrogation, Ada Phil admitted to being hired to injure Lucas, but the employer did not intend to kill Lucas, only to prevent him from filming, most likely."

Jenny asked, "So does that mean the employer was really the male supporting actor Andar And?"

"No," Luke and the deputy captain said in unison.

Jenny pressed, "Then who could it be?"

This time, Luke didn't respond, but instead looked to the deputy captain across from him.

The deputy captain spread his hands, "The young man goes first."

Luke made a welcoming gesture, "I lack experience and still have much to learn from you, deputy captain."

The deputy captain shrugged, "We questioned the male supporting actor Andar And. He denied hiring Ada Phil to hit someone, and based on my experience, I believe he was telling the truth.

As to who actually did hire Ada Phil, he wouldn't know, and therefore, neither would I.

This is the content you were supposed to investigate."

Luke didn't beat around the bush any longer and said plainly, "The assistant director, Clapbo Hino, was the one who hired Ada Phil.

Ada Phil's daughter has autism and it's quite serious. She's nearly five years old and still can't speak.

Ada Phil had her daughter examined. Purely medicinal treatment had limited effects, and she needed to attend special education, which is very expensive.

Unable to afford it, Ada Phil took a risk and accepted the offer to do the job in exchange for fifty thousand US dollars promised by the assistant director."

Susan asked, "How did the two of them get to know each other?"

"In order to scrape together tuition, Ada Phil, besides her regular job, also took on part-time roles, such as extras on film sets.

That's when she met the assistant director Clapbo Hino who, knowing her financial needs, tempted her with money to injure Lucas.

Clapbo Hino made it clear that he didn't want Lucas severely injured, just incapacitated for filming.

Ada Phil thought the risk was minimal and agreed, and afterwards received the fifty thousand dollars, which she used to pay for her child's special education tuition."

David commented, "That assistant director Clapbo Hino is quite audacious, not afraid that Ada Phil would betray him or blackmail him with this."

The deputy captain chuckled, "These assistant directors might not be great at making films, but each one of them is cunning. He has likely seen right through Ada Phil.

As long as he doesn't threaten Ada Phil, there's no way she'd dare threaten him.

Even for her child, she wouldn't do such a thing."

Jenny questioned in confusion, "Clapbo Hino is an assistant director, he supposedly has no conflict of interest with the main actor Lucas. Why would he want to stop Lucas from appearing in the film?"

"Good question," responded the deputy captain. He continued, "Andar And denies having any involvement with Lucas's death. In his words, with over half of the film already shot, even if Lucas died, the main role wouldn't go to him, so why would he bother.

However, he did mention a situation. A few days after he finished shooting, he went to viwi bar to drink.

And saw Lucas's wife, Inosa Soster, whispering with the assistant director, though he didn't know what they were talking about.

He didn't approach to listen but casually took a picture."

The deputy captain showed the picture to everyone, "From the photo, it appears that Lucas's wife had more than an ordinary relationship with the assistant director Clapbo Hino.

I boldly conjecture that the two might have been having an affair.

This could be a possible motive for the crime, as long as Lucas was dead, he could be with Inosa Soster.

He might also gain access to Lucas's inheritance. Don't be fooled by Inosa Soster's claims of impending bankruptcy. The so-called bankruptcy among the wealthy merely means they can't maintain a lavish upper-class lifestyle, but they would never lack mansions or luxury cars."

Jenny said, "Lucas is tall, handsome, and well-built, whilst the assistant director looks average and is overweight. Any woman knows how to choose, Inosa Soster can't be that blind, can she?"

"Maybe Inosa Soster wanted to use the assistant director to secure the role for her husband, pretending to be close to him, but the assistant director might have taken it seriously," Luke suggested.

The deputy captain drank a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, "From my experience, the assistant director is a prime suspect.

First, he was the one who reported the crime and was present when Lucas's body was unearthed.

Moreover, among those people, he held the highest position and could have directed others to do something.

I've encountered many killers who return to the crime scene afterward."
