Rosie Cheung had her hands on her lap, her feet flat on the floor, her eyes staring at a spot on the table. From the one-way mirror, Danny stared at her gentle demeanor and laughed to himself at the sheer genius of this young woman.
Danny opened the door to the interrogation room where Rosie sat. He sits across her.
"Alright, here's what I know" Danny started.
Rosie just looked at him.
"You were a chambermaid at the Holiday Inn where Gwen DiCarlo was taken, a waitress at the Little Rock bar where Abby was taken, and you brought Detective Monroe to the Queen's Café where she would have been taken if we hadn't gotten there in time" Danny narrated.
"Like I told you" Rosie said, her voice calm "I work those two jobs, it's not a secret. And Lindsay's my friend."
Danny nodded. He produced a file folder and showed her a still photo of the Abby Gelman video. "The gunwoman in that picture is 5'3". Same as you" Danny said.
"Lots of other women are as small as I am" Rosie answered.
Danny took out another photo --- the small electric burner with the blue paint. "The burner used to brand all three women had paint from your Toyota"
"Someone could have placed it there" Rosie said "Detective, I've answered all these accusations before"
Danny smiled and stared into Rosie's eyes. He knew the next thing he's going to say was going to break her prim and proper exterior.
"We found Fiona Albright" Danny said.
Rosie's eyes widened. Danny chuckled.
"Pure coincidence, really" Danny said "Somebody misidentified a Jane Doe to be Abby Gelman. In the funeral home, Lindsay saw an empty wake. Boom. It was Fiona"
Rosie's eyes darted from left to right, like in a panic.
Danny looked at her panicked face "See, now that's acting".
Danny pulled out another file. "Fiona Albright's funeral was paid for by an HSBC visa card of a Yi Yin Zhou. From your immigration records, we found out that Yi Yin Zhou is your Chinese name, back in Singapore where you applied for a scholarship at Chelsea University sponsored by Bantam Books."
Danny paused. Rosie's composure was breaking down right in front of him.
"But you didn't pay for a funeral." Danny continued "You paid for a cremation. Somebody went back and had it changed."
"How could she do this?" Rosie whispered to herself.
"We can connect Fiona to Gwen's death and we can connect you to Fiona, making you an accessory to kidnapping and murder." Danny said. "Unless…"
Rosie looked up. "No…. I can't" she said.
"Give her up" Danny said. "You give her up and we'll cut you a deal"
