I woke up at 4 am and decided to reach a little early in the morning -- I wanted to tell the President about getting a search warrant for searching Gwendolyn's house.
I made myself a cup of cappuccino and ate toast for my breakfast. I pulled a denim jeans and a pink shirt ( I thought not to wear my coat today as in the weather report it told the today will be a hot day.)
After saving goodbye to mom , I head out of my house ; ready to tell the news.
....
I reached the office and headed towards the President's room. I knocked on the door and heard him saying "come in." I entered the room and sat on the chair in front of his desk.
"Oh why hello Ms. Clearwater. You are quite early today. Any news about the case?" He asked. "Yes. I got the search warrant for investigating Gwendolyn's house and today I am going there only." I replied.
"Hm...I see. I also have a news for you but unfortunately , it's a very bad news for us. Today at 1am , my secretary , Mr. Stagerson Evans got murdered at his place. There is no evidence and no one is able to find anything neither suspects nor ant evidenced which could lead to the murderer. According me , it can be none other than Gwendolyn Greengrass."President said with a sigh ; his eyes full of sadness.
I became very shocked after listening this , confused too. No one said anything for a while. After a few minutes I said "who is the secretary? I doubt I ever saw him.." "you don't know who he is? I am sure you must have seen him once. The one who asked you to come to my office the other day for a meeting." He replied.
The secretary was a bit grumpy but that doesn't mean he is supposed to die I thought and felt very sad because of that.
"You can go to her house today and investigate but I think you should go to the crime scene today , that is ; Secretary Evan's house."he suggested.
"I think you are right , sir. I will investigate Secretary Evan's house and do other things later." I replied.
After saying these words I smiled sadly and went out to investigate Secretary Evan's house.
....
It took me almost two hours to reach his house. After reaching there I saw the house sealed with a "DO NOT ENTER" sign , the house was a two storied brown coloured building. It was a old styled house. Heading further , I saw two policemen guarding the place from outside.
A small crowd was there too. Many people looked teary eyed. At the front of the crowd there were some other people who were giving sympathy to females ; one was a woman the other was a teenager.
Their eyes were swollen and red and were crying a lot. I approached one of the policemen standing and asked , "Hello , I am Lara Clearwater, A detective at the Triple X Agency. Today I am here to investigate this case." I showed my identification card ; held it high to their eye level. They nodded and opened the front door for me.
The policemen took me to the place where Secretary Evans was murdered ; He was killed in his bedroom. I examined everything around the bedroom , found some clues ; I found drops of blood on the floor , but the victim wasn't injured at all. There were no marks of being choked , no signs of being poisoned and no signs of bleeding -- being killed by a knife or something .
I figured it out very soon , I decided to interrogate his wife and daughter. I headed outside the house and found his wife crying uncontrollably. I approached her with sympathy and said , "Hello , I am detective Lara. I am here to investigate this case."
"w-hat?! I m-mean yo-u are going to p-provide him justice?" She asked between her sobs.
"Yes I am going to provide him justice. But for that I want you to answer whatever questions I ask truthfully." I requested. "So , Was your husband a smoker?" I went on. "What?! No! He never smoked in his entire life!" She answered. "Where were you when this incident happened?" I asked.
For some reasons , she started to sweat and she became very nervous. Her legs became wobbly and she said , "Me and my daughter were out of station for 3 d-day-s. I k-know n-nothing about how this h-happened." She stammered. "Thank you for telling me everything. Now I will take my leave."I said to her and then walked away.
But was his wife really out of station for 3 days?
