Ethan found Kurt's wife and broke the news that Kurt was dead. She let out a sigh of relief and spilled everything she knew.
Back at the police station, Ethan rushed to Robert. "Kurt's wife spilled the beans. Kurt was a control freak who wouldn't let her talk to anyone, and he was a total sexual deviant."
He went on, "When they had sex, he was super rough. He'd bite her down there and even burn her sometimes. But he'd finish quickly."
He added, "Lately though, their sex sessions lasted longer, and he made her climax multiple times."
After hearing this, Robert and Ethan headed to the interrogation room.
"Tony, the dead guy was actually Kurt, and you're the real killer," Robert said straight up.
"What are you talking about? I'm Kurt. The dead guy was Tony, and it was Lyra and Sophia who plotted to kill him! That's what you cops told me," Tony snapped back, glaring at them.
He started questioning the cops. "Is this how you handle cases? First, you say Lyra and Sophia are guilty, and now you're accusing me. When I get out, I'm filing a complaint against you!"
Ethan shot back, "You won't get the chance. You're headed to prison."
"Where's the proof that I'm Tony and that I killed Kurt? If you don't have it, I'll be out of here soon."
"Your cousin and her husband told us Kurt was infertile. We found the testicles, and the tests show the dead guy was infertile. So, the dead guy is Kurt," Robert said, placing the test report where Tony could see but not touch.
"They're wrong. Tony was the infertile one, which is why he never married or had kids. But I have two kids. If you don't believe me, do a paternity test."
"If you're really Kurt, why did you destroy the fingerprints on all ten fingers?" Ethan asked.
"You got it wrong. Our housekeeper took the day off today. I never do housework, so I accidentally hurt my fingers."
Even with all the evidence and testimonies, Tony denied everything.
"Kurt's infertility wasn't congenital. When he was 14, he had untreated mumps that affected his testicles. It's in the medical records from your cousin's husband," Robert pointed out.
"You're talking about Tony," Tony still denied. "He mixed up Tony's info with mine. Tony was the one who got treated."
Robert asked, "So, what about Kurt's wife? Is she wrong too?"
He went on, "After Kurt died, you did a good job hiding it and fooling everyone, but you couldn't fool his wife. After you had sex with her and she started to suspect, you had Lyra kill her to keep the truth from coming out. Then you had your cousin's husband ambush and kill Lyra."
The "Time's up" carved on Kurt's body, the hair found in Lyra's coat, and the threats to Wren's child were all to mislead the police and frame Sophia.
If Tony's plan worked, he could secretly become Kurt and inherit all his wealth.
Robert analyzed, "Tony, you planned everything out and were ruthless, but you made two big mistakes."
He continued, "First, you shouldn't have told Sophia to go to that pavilion. If you hadn't, Kurt's wife wouldn't have been saved by her. But you had to involve her so the police wouldn't suspect her absence."
"And the second mistake is that you didn't cut off your own testicles because you couldn't bring yourself to do it," Robert said. "Of course, any guy would hesitate."
He added, "You were willing to burn your fingers to destroy your fingerprints, but you couldn't cut off your testicles. If you had, maybe we really wouldn't be able to prove you're Tony."
Tony's smile faded, and he went silent.
Then Robert switched tactics, praising Tony and belittling the deceased Kurt to lower his defenses.
Robert said, "Kurt was a sneaky bad guy, both insecure and arrogant, but your parents always saw him as the golden child. Because of his physical defect, he finished quickly, not like a real man. But he had money, so he could still get a wife."
He added, "People thought he loved his wife, but you knew he was a hypocritical, disgusting jerk. You knew he kept giving money to her greedy parents and brother, so even if he abused her to get off, she couldn't leave him and had to pretend they were in love."
"She's lying. My wife must have been brainwashed by her family to try to take all my assets, so she framed me," Tony insisted.
Robert shot back, "She didn't frame you. Your family is using you because you aren't as good at making money as Kurt. They all protected Kurt because he had money. They thought he was more capable and smarter than you."
He continued, "Your parents said you were a failure. Even your cousin and her husband thought Kurt was great and kept praising him to you."
Tony's calm expression started to crack.
