Kem Smith glanced at Luke and remained silent.

Luke stared at him and continued, "Actually, even if you don't speak, I know you lied when describing the arson incident.

Lydia Kuni and another suspect escaped through the east gate of the building after setting the fire, not the west gate."

Kem Smith retorted, "Sorry, the fire that night scared me. I might have remembered incorrectly."

"No, you didn't remember wrong. You did see Lydia Kuni and the other suspect near the west gate, but they weren't leaving the building at the time. Instead, they were entering the building right after cutting power in the distribution room to start the fire. You could have stopped them, but you didn't.

Why?"

"I... I didn't know they were going to start a fire at the time. I... I also regret it."

"Even if you didn't know they were going to start a fire, you knew they couldn't have been up to any good by sneaking into the building at night. Why didn't you call the police or notify security right away?"

Kem Smith shook his head, continuing to remain silent.

Luke went on, "Actually, we've been investigating you all along.

The reason you appeared on the west side of the building that night wasn't by coincidence; you were also planning to cut power in the distribution room and just happened to see Lydia Kuni nearby.

You didn't stop Lydia Kuni, nor did you call the police because you were guilty; you also wanted to sneak into the office building.

Am I right?"

Sweat trickled down Kem Smith's cheek.

Luke pressed further, "Since we suspect you, it's only a matter of time before we find out the truth, but what Ivella Gandhi lacks the most right now is time.

If you keep hiding, you might miss the best chance to rescue her.

When we finally uncover the truth, you'll still have to bear the corresponding responsibilities, and Ivella Gandhi..."

"Stop, I'll tell you.

I've made some mistakes..." Kem Smith took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "You're right, that night I did want to sneak into the building.

I wanted to copy some data, but Lydia Kuni and that suspect got into the building first and disrupted my plan."

"What data did you want to copy?"

"The research data for new blood pressure medication."

"Why do that?"

"I planned to sell the data on the black market to make money."

Luke shook his head, "You're still lying."

"I'm not."

"You are.

July 11th, you might not have succeeded, but there were also blackouts in May and June, which should also have been done by you.

You probably succeeded those two times.

Where is the copied data?"

"I told you, I sold it on the black market."

"No, you're still lying.

If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you." Luke stared at him, speaking coldly, "Previously, the reason you broke up with Lydia Kuni wasn't because of her daughter, but because you were already involved with Ivella Gandhi.

You had just gotten to know Ivella Gandhi and moved into the company dormitory to steal the research data of the new blood pressure medication.

If I'm not mistaken, you should have handed over the stolen research data to Ivella Gandhi.

That's the real reason she was kidnapped.

Am I right?"

Kem Smith's gaze flickered, his expression somewhat flustered.

Luke continued to question, "If you want to save Ivella Gandhi, tell me, who is she really with?"

Under Luke's aggressive questioning, Kem Smith found it hard to breathe, taking deep breaths, "She...

was sponsored by Sun Pharmaceuticals to study abroad in Los Angeles."
