Vengeful in Love - Chapter 11：Morons

As soon as they arrived back at the police station, Kaiden brought Phillip into the observation room and locked it. He instructed Policeman 1 to stay outside the door to watch over Phillip. They can’t be letting them escape anymore!

“Where did you put “Phillip” and Larry’s phone at?” Renae asked the rest. Policeman 2 replied, “We left it in a plastic bag and hid it on this shelf. But now it is nowhere to be found.” Renae sighed but was determined to look around to find their phones so she instructed them to look around the station while Policeman 1 watched over Phillip.

After much hard work and determination to look for their phones, it was indeed true that they managed to sneak out with their phones. They were all frustrated. Then a ring came from Phillip’s phone. It was a message from “Phillip”. It says, ‘Where are you now? Larry and I escaped…’

Kaiden and Renae looked at each other and said “You know what I’m thinking?” Then they both said “Use the phone to get to Larry!”

Renae took out her phone and messaged the investigation group chat.

“Hey guys, can we meet in the conference room again? We have something to discuss.”

They all replied with a yes and headed for the conference room. When everyone, except policeman 1, entered the room, they started the discussion. “Alright, we confirmed that Larry and “Phillip” took their phones when they escaped. This is cause’ they didn’t know we used Larry’s phone to contact Phillip and trick him to reveal his location, so we can use this method on them again.” Kaiden explained to the other policemen. “That’s a great idea! We can get Phillip’s phone now, they’ve already taken Phillip’s phone and kept it so it won’t take long. Give me a second…” Policeman 2 replied.

Policeman 4 started to message Phillip the things they wrote down. Larry and “Phillip” response almost instantly, suspecting nothing. They quickly ended the conversation and got the thing they were aiming for – Larry and “Phillip’s” location. They were planning to stay at Layard Motel for a week before heading to a boutique hotel called Roberull. With this information, they were determined to arrest Larry and “Phillip” and end this investigation. Policeman 2 volunteered to explain what they discussed to policeman 1.

Afterwards, they decide that policeman 1, 2 and 4 will stay to do some questioning with Phillip while Renae, Kaiden and policeman 3 head to Layard Motel in search for the two criminals.

Policeman 3 gets into the driver’s seat and start up the car. “We’re heading to Layard Motel. It’s around City square mall right? Buckle up, this’ll be a long ride.” He said as he started driving. They decide to call the motel in advance to ask if a duo, Larry and “Phillip”, checked in earlier in the day. They responded with a yes. There they go, their confirmation right there.

After about 30 minutes, they finally arrive. Earlier, they also asked for the room Larry and “Phillip” had booked and headed for it. They knew that if they introduced themselves as the police, the two would try and escape or refuse to open the door. So they decided to pretend to be those people who ask people to do surveys. They also stood lower so that only the top of their heads would be seen.

It worked.

The moment the door opened, policeman 3 slammed the door open, grabbed his right arm with one hand and covered his mouth with his other hand. “Larry? What happened?” A voice asked from the kitchen. Policeman 3 heftily pulled “Phillip” out and nodded towards the kitchen. Renae and Kaiden nodded and stuck close to the wall, creeping closer and closer to the kitchen. In that moment, Larry walked out and into their view. Kaiden immediately tackled him to the ground while Renae pulled out handcuffs from her pocket and quickly cuffed him up.

Kaiden got up and gave a thumbs up to policeman 3, who had already brought Larry into the police car. They returned to to the police station.

Meanwhile, policeman 1 decided to stay outside the interrogation room since interrogation normally only needed 1-2 people. Policeman 2 and 4 took a seat, then started the recording. They started casually, asking about his daily life and so on. Then they started getting into the main topic. “So, who is the Phillip imposter to you?” Policeman 2 asked. “He’s my twin. Let him off. He has done nothing wrong.” Phillip replied. “He has done something wrong. Pretending to be someone he isn’t is against the law. Now, how did you get “Phillip” to be your imposter?” Policeman 4 continued. “He’s my twin brother. Of course he would agree!” Policeman 4 shook his head in his mind when he heard this.

That was about how the rest of the interrogation went. Phillip, unbelievably, answered truthfully. But his logic was absolutely ridiculous!
