[WARNING: CRIME SCENE AHEAD! Brace in your seats because we're going to enter the world of a detective! Oh, hello there, Sherlock!]
It was exactly five in the morning when Aisha woke up. Even though she had slept late and only has a less than couple of hours of sleep, her body is accustomed waking up early.
Aisha rubbed her eyes and stretched her limbs. In this around of time, she will go to her manor's training grounds and practice her shooting, martial arts, swords, and etc., etc. but since she was in a hotel, she could only do exercises and some martial arts that didn't require weapons and bigger spaces.
A couple of hours later, she had just finished showering when she recieved a phone call from Nikos. One of the suspected traitors was found dead in his apartment. It was a good thing that the building was meant for the low ranks mafias to live in the Sutton famiglia, so it didn't attract normal people. One of the mafia that lives there, and a friend of the dead mafia, said that he heard a gunshot at exactly three-thirty in the morning but all of them thought that that person must be practicing his shooting skills so they didn't think much of it but this morning, when he was going to invite him for a breakfast, he found him hanging on a tight rope and immediately went to informed Nikos.
"Give me the address and I'll go there. Prevent the police to learn about this accident and don't let anyone touch anything in the crime scene, especially the corpse."
"Will do."
Aisha hung up her phone, put on a clothes and went to the address given by Nikos. When she got there, she saw Nikos with two other men, one has a slight good figure and the other one is buff.
Because Aisha was briefed about what happened, she didn't bother greeting and asking them about what happened and went inside of the apartment.
It was only a small apartment, if you went inside, the first thing you will saw was the living room. Aisha went in further and saw a man hang up in the ceiling.
Based on Aisha's observation, the man was about 181 centimeters in height, he was skinny and didn't even had any muscles or fats in his body. The next thing Aisha noticed was the height of the rope tied on the ceiling, and then the five inches small plastic chair below the feet of the corpse. There are also four bottles of beers on the small table, two was empty, while the other two was filled with half of the amount of beer.
Aisha put gloves on her hand and inspects the man. Its neck was already in a shade of purplish blue, his long tongue is hanging, there are still some blood oozing out of his right temples, and both of his eyes are wide, seemingly staring right into Aisha's cold orbs.
Having a retentive memory, Aisha immediately recognized this person as someone whom she had tortured brutally before.
Next she look at his clothes, which was the same as every employee in the casino wore. His uniform is smooth except for the upper part of his shirt, and some creased in his pants.
Aisha looks around and found a gun on the corner of the room. She gazed at the direction where the muzzle of the gun is pointing, it was a small drawer with a circle laced clothes in it, however, there are no vases or things placed on top of it.
She went to the drawer and unexpectedly, it was as if she had step on something and heard a soft "crack", it was soft and if it weren't for Aisha's superb hearing, she won't hear it.
Aisha look down and raised her boot, and saw a small shard of white ceramic. She then go back in front of the corpse, and inspect his hands. She grown up in the world of mafia so she was used to the smell of gunpowder.
She found some gunpowder to the left hand of the dead man.
Aisha stayed inside for awhile before she went outside, and interrogated the two men with Nikos and fired them with questions.
"Where are you at exactly 3:30 AM. Are you with the man after or before 3:30 AM? Did you hear the gunshot? If yes, why didn't you go and see who fired it or what happened? What time did you discover his corpse? Did you touch anything when you went inside?"
Aisha was wearing a disguised. Her eyes are in a deep brown color, her hair is tied into a high ponytail, and she applied make ups to look like a sophisticated 30-years-old woman and she's wearing a black rimmed eye glasses. She also concealed her intimidating aura so the men didn't recognize her but seeing she was sent here by Nikos, they guess that she was someone in a higher rank than them.
The buff man, whose name is Jin, was the first one to answer, "I'm still at the casino around that time, I'm with the other employees. After the Queen left, Stan request an early leave for he wasn't feeling well. As for the gunshot, yes, I heard it when I got home but I thought it was just someone practicing his shooting. I wasn't the one who discovered Stan's body, it was Sol. After our job, I went to party with my other friends and only came back at 4:30 AM. And no, I didn't went inside."
Next to answer was Sol, "It's my day off last night so I went out to drink in a bar. I came home at three in the morning and after awhile I heard a gunshot. I ignored it and later on, Jin invited me to party so I was with him but I stayed behind because I saw a, erm, a woman and decided to spend the night with her. I came back before seven and invite Stan for breakfast because I was hungry but then I didn't expect to see Stan's dead body."
After combining the informations she had gathered, Aisha let out a small smirk. Her eyes lit up as she had finally found out what happened here and who is the suspect.
"Hold! I'm Detective Augustus, who are you?"
