Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight
Catherine learned from a news program that Constantin Demiris had been arrested for the murder of his wife.The news came like a bolt from the blue.When she came to the office, everything was darkened.
"Did you hear the news?" Evelyn moaned. "What are we going to do?"
"We're going to keep working and understand exactly what he wants. I'm sure this is all wrong. I'll find a way to give him a call."
However, Constantine Demiris' phone was not available.
Constantine Demiris is by far the most important inmate of the Central Prison of Athens.Prosecutors ordered that he be denied any special treatment.Demiris had made many requests to be able to make phone calls, send telexes, and have letters delivered for him.These were all rejected. Whether waking during the day or sleeping at night, Demiris is always racking his brains to find out who murdered Marina. In the beginning, Demiris imagined, a thief.When he was stealing at the beach house, Marina found him and killed Marina.But when the police brought that evidence against him, Demiris realized he had been murdered.The question is: who is it?Most likely Sparrows Lamboro.But the weakness of this conjecture is that Lambro loved his sister more than anyone else in the world, and he would never do her any harm. Demiris then becomes suspicious of the gang with Tony Rezzoli.Perhaps, they already knew what he did to Rezzoli, and this was their way of revenge.Demiris overturned this idea again.If the Mafia wanted revenge, they'd hit him straight up. So, alone, in his cell, he pondered, trying to find the answer to this question.In the end, when he ruled out all the possibilities, there was only one conclusion left: Marina committed suicide, she went to a dead end by herself, but used her death to frame him.Demiris thought about his revenge on Noel and Larry Douglas.The irony of all is that he is now in exactly the same situation as Noel and Larry Douglas were then.He's going to stand trial for the unwarranted murder.
The guard went to the cell door. "Your lawyer is here to see you." Demiris stood up and followed the guards to a small conference room.Lawyers are waiting for him.His name is Fuseliki; he is in his fifties, with a thick head of gray hair, like a movie star.He is a top-notch criminal lawyer.Will this work? The guard said, "I'll give you 15 minutes." Then they were left alone. "Okay," Demiris said, "when are you going to get me out? How much am I going to pay you?" "Mr. Demiris, I'm afraid it's not that simple. The Chief Prosecutor refuses to..." "The Attorney General is an idiot. They can't keep me in a place like this. How about parole? I'll pay what they want." Fuseliki licked his lips uneasily. "They're denying parole. I've checked the police evidence against you, Mr. Demiris. Well, that's dangerous." "Dangerous or not - I didn't kill Marina, I'm innocent." The lawyer swallowed. "Yes, of course, of course. But have you—well—did it ever occur to you who might kill your wife?" "It's impossible for anyone. My wife committed suicide." The lawyer watched him intently. "I'm sorry, Mr. Demiris. But I don't think that's a good defense. You've got to come up with something better." Demiris felt discouraged.He knew that the lawyer was right.Not a single jury in the world would believe his story.
Early the next morning, the lawyer visited Demiris again. "I'm afraid I have some bad news." Demiris almost laughed out loud.He is in prison, facing the threat of the death penalty.And the fool told him there was bad news.What could be worse than his current situation? "Ok?" "That's about your uncle." "Sparos? How is he?" "I got word that he went to the police and told them there was a woman named Katherine Douglas alive. I don't know much about the Noel Patch and Larry Douglas trials, but … ..." Constantin Demiris stopped listening.Facing everything that happened in front of him, he had completely forgotten about Catherine.If they found her and she spoke, he would be involved in the deaths of Noel and Larry.He had sent to London to look after her.But now the matter suddenly became extremely urgent. He leaned forward and took the lawyer's arm. "I want you to send a message to London at once."
He read the letter twice and felt the urge start to come.He often feels this way before he fulfills his contract.It's like playing the role of God, who decides who lives and who dies.He is in awe of the power he has.However, there is a problem.If he had to do it right away, there would be no time for other plans.Had to improvise.Make it look like an accident, just tonight.
