Chapter 43-56 Summary

Chapter 43:

When Hunt and Yoakum show up for work the next day, the chief calls them into his office where two stern, suited men stand stiffly. The chief introduces them as state investigators from the Raleigh office. The chief tells the two detectives to put their service revolvers on his desk. With much protest, they do as told. One of the state men asks Yoakum where his personal pistol is, and he answers "That's none of your business." The state man tells Yoakum that a shell with his fingerprints was found inside the wreckage of David Wilson's car. A physical struggle between Yoakum and the two state men results in handcuffs being clamped on his hands. Yoakum is then led through the bullpen to their car for a trip to Raleigh for interrogation.
