there was only blurring light coming in one dark room. and one middle age man was laying on the floor. the stuff were disheveled all around of the room. he was staring blankly in the infinity. his eye was widened. his breath had already been stopped. after a while, this place besieged by the crime branch officers. they were taking his pic to every side.
one cop dashed in rush to under the fence. he squatted beside of deceased. and started taking information to the another investigator.
" we get. death time of victim is within one hour. at the edge of his mouth he is drooling. he has gone to leave one suicide note. he hasn't blamed anyone to his death. even if it seems more like suicide. poison is the cause of his death."
"but, here, it's odd. after seeing the house plight, we figure out here is someone had already come to meet him and he had searched something around of this house. it seems he was unaware of his death.....victim was shocked before death. clearly, it was murder and killer did his best to convert it into suicide. so, there is no chance he would messed up the house. one crucial thing is that, he was acquainted to the previous two case's victim. and he had just gotten out the penitentiary few days ago for attempting murder case."
he rised his eye over him and asked. " so, you are saying. there is another one come besides killer. and it's related to another homicide."
"we are not so sure yet, sir."
" and what about his relatives and acquainted."
" we are still striving to reach at them."
then, he gets up and walked towards wall and started probing it. suddenly, he gets in huff himself and called someone else."
Lisa was quivering. Bright was still holding her hand. Mason, he gets up to his seat and asked in worrisome tone. " are you alright, aunt?"
Bright closed his eyes and sighed. he looks at him and asked. "here, I am the one who scorched. and you are still worried about her instead of me."
he becomes frozen to his place.
and at that time, housekeeper comes and asked worriedly. " are you alright, second master?"
" I am going to ask doctor."
he said while he was looking at both of them. " no need. it's not escalate."
then, he looks at Lisa and asked. "can you tell me know what's really up to in your mind?"
she was indecisive. eventually, she shrugged. " okay, I get it. it's difficult to lie anymore. so, I will be articulate..... "
her smartphone buzzed at the same time. it was putting at the couch. she stammered. " well, here is one incoming call. I guess it must be your mom. if I delay she will surely be quite worried. can we talk after that?"
he lets her hand off. she felt relief. and she looks at the call. it was unknown number. she picked up the call.
to the another side of the call, one sound comes in her ear. " where are you right now?"
" Kevin?" she speculated by his sound.
" yeah."
" hey, how could you get my number? by the way, I can't talk you right away. because, I have to clear something with my husband?" so, I am hanging up the call."
" hold on, are you saying, Mr. Bright to is with you."
she closed her eyes and exhaled a deep breath. " yeah, he is with me since evening. but, what's the matter?"
" here is happened another homicide and it's related to another case."
she asked vehemently. " it means, you are saying. that's not him. "
" may be not...." he stopped. " but I didn't deny it is affiliated to Mr. Bright. cause, he also wanted to contact with him." he was looking pic at the wall. there was many pic dangling at the wall.
she was happy after knowing that he was not murderer.
she comes again in her consciousness after hearing cutlery sound. she asked him. " I am hanging up. I have to go now." as she turned to see him. she gets Mason was tilted against the table and wrapped his hand around head. he was playing with the spoon.
she asked him. " where is he gone?"
he said with feebly sound. " while you were in the call. he got to change his clothes."
she knew. Mason must be hungry. as she looks at the housekeeper. he said. " don't worry, young mistress. leave it to me."
as Kevin hung up the call. he babbled to himself. " if it's not him. then, who would it be?"
" and. " he left his hand and flipped at his pic. " how is he related to every cases?"
