Caldwell froze for a moment before asking, "What do you mean? Did something new cup at the scene?"
The female detective nodded, then stepped past him to stand by Marguerite's
side, explaining:
"Marguerite, don't getwrong, I'm not implying anything. It's just that your response is crucial to this case."
Marguerite, ever so gracious, shook her head.
"No worries, go ahead and askanything else. When Penelope called me, she was really agitated right from
the start. It sounded like she had been trying to reachseveral times, but due to poor reception, | never got
the calls."
The detective, holding Marguerite's statement, glanced at Caldwell:
"Caldwell, Penelope becanxious not midway through the call but right from the moment she got through to
Marguerite. This means her agitation wasn't just because of bad signal. Plus, calling Marguerite over and over?
She must have had something important to say, right?"
Marguerite was taken aback, realizing that this detective was indeed more meticulous and professional
compared to Caldwell. With just a few pointed questions, she guessed Penelope's intent.
Prompted by this, Marguerite suddenly recalled something she had overlooked and hurriedly added:
"Right, Penelope askedto meet her at the office. It seemed like she indeed had something to tell me."
"What was it?" The detective was all ears, on high alert.

Marguerite shook her head in confusion:
“I'm not sure. She didn't say over the phone. Or maybe she did, but | couldn't hear because of the poor signal."
The detective fell silent.
Seeing her expression, Marguerite quickly caught on.
"Does this have anything to do with Penelope's car accident? Did you guys find something else?"
The detective seemed hesitant, uncertain whether to share the information with Marguerite. But considering
Penelope's last call was to Marguerite, perhaps she could be key to cracking the case.
So, the detective looked at Caldwell as if making up her mind, and slowly began:
"Yes. After you left, we found a dent
on the rear of Penelope's car. The
