At the Convenience Store...
The police officers arrived at the convenience store and interrogated the shopkeeper who was a lady at the counter....
Officer: Excuse me ma'am..... we are police officers and we are here to ask some questions regarding a girl who came to your store last night.....
Shopkeeper: Sorry Sir... I don't know anything about it... because I was out of the store.... for a moment...
Officer: Ma'am.. this is really important.... that girl was murdered... last night very cruelly.....
Shopkeeper : Are you talking about the girl.... who was... there... at cornfields..
Officer: Yes..... But how did you...
Shopkeeper: I was the one who called the police....
Officer: We were trying to contact you... but your phone was not reachable....
Shopkeeper: Yes... I dropped it near the cornfields... when I was helping the old man..
Officer: Ok.... So can you please elaborate all the details.... about what you did from leaving the store.... to calling us....
Shopkeeper: Ok.... I was at the shop till 7:30....my son was reading in the store room of the shop.... So around 7:35 ... I went to the store room which is located at the back of the shop.... to give him some snacks.... I was there till.... around 8:30....but when I came to shop... I saw some money at the counter... I thought that someone might have bought something and after that I closed the shop.... And was returning home with my son... While passing through the cornfields..... I saw the old man standing still.... I thought something was wrong with him... so I immediately rushed to him... then he pointed towards that girl.... I was so scared and I took the man out of the fields with my son... and then immediately called over the police... And when the police arrived I left the fields.....
Officer: Ok... do you have CCTV in your store.... so that we can check it...
Shopkeeper: Sorry Sir..... The store doesn't has any CCTV....
Officer:Why did you leave your shop about an hour.... don't you if something gets stolen??
Shopkeeper: I usually don't leave the shop like that... but Sir I am a single mother and I don't have anyone to take care of my son.... My son's exams were approaching.... So I was helping him out..... And that's the reason he was reading in the store room....
Officer:Why did you immediately lef the fields when the Police arrived..... and didn't wait for the interrogation...
Shopkeeper: Actually.... mu son was really scared about what happened... and he was trembling out of fear..... So I was forced to take my son to home quickly....
Officer: If your son is in such a bad condition.... then why did you leave him.... and opened the store...
Shopkeeper: No sir... he is with.....me.... he is sleeping in the store room..... I am having trouble due to shortage of money... that's why I opened the shop today..... and as I could not leave my son alone.... I brought him here.....
Officer: If you don't mind can we see your son for a moment...
Shopkeeper: I am sorry sir..... but he was too scared yesterday..... And I don't think he could answer it..... he is just a high schooler...
Officer: Ok..... we will be leaving now.....
Another Officer: Sir we don't have any clues.... what to do next???
Officer: Let's go to the station first..... and report the things.... Yes... Ask some people around here... to check if her words are reliable....
Another Officer: Ok... Sir..
The officer headed out to the police station....
At the Police Station.... ( To the Police Chief)
Officer: Sir we went to the convenience store for interrogation.... but nothing came out particularly....
Chief: What did the shopkeeper tell??
Officer: She was not in the shop... when the victim came...
Chief: Are you sure???
Officer :Ron was also with me.... so I told Ron to interrogate others to find out whether.. she was telling the truth..
Chief : Good!!!
Officer: Yes.. Sir...another thing .... she was the one who called us....
Chief: What??
(The officer told the chief everything... about what the lady said...)
Chief: Ok... Officer Kyle.. Keep a check on that lady... do a background check and include this in the report...
Kyle: Ok Sir!!
(Ron came to the station and reported Kyle...)
Ron: Sir.... I asked the people around there ..... and I think the lady is telling the truth.....
Kyle: What did they say??
Ron: Sir.... it is confirmed that the lady has a son who is a high school student...Both of them have moved here recently... After the death of her husband..... and nothing seems wrong.... and they do have financial problems.....
Kyle: Ok do a background check and include in the report.... I am going to the victims house....
Ron: Ok Sir!!!
(Kyle heading to Ana's home.....)
Kyle along with Ana's father went to their house and searched Ana's room..... There was nothing abnormal..... and nothing worth to report... he took her mobile phone.... (unfortunately he could not find her diary because Ana had hid it)....
Kyle: Ok Sir... I have collected all the necessary items.... now I am leaving...
Father: Ok.... Sir!!!!
(Kyle reached at the police station....)
Kyle: Ron!! Give it to....Sam...and tell him to check this phone carefully....
Ron: Ok Sir!!
(Ron went to Sam who was a professional technician..... In other words... a hacker..)
Ron: Sam check this phone... and give the details to Kyle Sir... (Giving the phone to him..)
Sam: Ok!! Give me some time... it will be finished soon....
Ron: Ok!! I am going to Kyle Sir!!
(Ron goes to Kyle....)
Ron: Is there anything to do more??
Kyle: Have you done background check on that lady??
Ron : Yes!! Her name is Rosie Brown.... She used to live in the New city with her family... Consisting of her husband..... Mr.George Brown..... and his son
Daniel Brown.... She moved to this town not long ago after husband died..... and he reads in the same school as the victim....And yes they do have financial issues....
Kyle: Oh!! That's nothing problem here also..... Just add in the report about it...
Ron: Sir... but they were reading in the same school... and same class.... I.... think....
Kyle: There's nothing about that ... as this a small town and The Eastwood School is the best here... so many children are reading there.... nothing to worry about....
Ron: Ok Sir!!
Kyle: Just leave them.....
Sam (coming to Kyle..) handed over the phone...
Kyle: Did you find something??
Sam: Nothing!! It's as usual.... she has some friends... and. their talks are normal..... Nothing wrong like that....
Kyle: Ahhh!!! My brain is exploding now... We have been running errands from the morning but still we can't even find a single clue about the criminal...
Ron: He is very smart and professional.... There no traces of fingerprints... nor we have found the
weapon.... I think it will take a while to find this person....
Kyle: Is the victim's school open.... today??
Ron: Yes I think so... today's Thursday... and it's half past 12....
Kyle: Ok!!! Let's go there... Quickly!!!
They went to there school and interrogated some of Ana's friend but nothing turned out well....
There was nothing in their hands..... They didn't have an evidence nor a witness.... After 2 months... that area was under redevelopment plans.... There were no more murders there.... so the case was closed due to lack of evidence.....
