One could hear the honks from cars and chatters coming from all directions on the streets of ZOA.
Today's was peculiarly noisier than usual, as news had reached everyone about to apparent persecution of the ex mayor of ZOA for the murder of Mr Rogers, the CEO of Wayne inc.
This accusation was backed up with proof from the video footage that the CCTV camera had caught.
" I just don't believe Mr mayor would do something that drastic".. One man in a bus said to his friend who held a digital tablet to his face reading aloud something from it.
" The police found visual evidence that proves that Mr mayor indeed was the last one to be seen with Mr rogers before his tragic demise" the man ended.
Then the passengers in the bus began expressing their feelings towards the matter..
" I'm not surprised he did something like that, Mr Rogers was clearly going to win that Election that was to be held the next day".. A woman commented which led to further arguments in the bus.
"Notwithstanding, it would be alot easier for someone who's not a dad to take another persons dad's life".. A man from the front said with a shrug.
This statement had elements of truth in it as it happened to be that Mr mayor was indeed single and had no child from any woman whatsoever.
"I believe comments like this must have been what pushed him to that road, we should learn to be nice to other human beings and not outright discriminate against them and say hateful things!" A man from the back of the bus clapped back to the earlier man's comment
"Hahaha...we might have another Mr mayor in our hands...people with your inability to see the truth and say it should be locked up, y'all are the reason the society isn't getting any better". And so more comments kept on flying around in the bus till they got to their station and they all alighted and went their separate ways.
.....
Mean while in a dark room with only one source of light fixed at the center where a table and a chair cooked be located was the man who had become recently more famous for all the wrong reasons.
Two people were however seen in this room, one was cuffed and was sitting on the only chair that was in the room, while the other was seen standing.
" listen Mr, i don't know who you are, but I promise once I get out of here I'll make sure you are severely punished".. The man who had cuffs on his hands and sitting on a chair said to the one who was standing.
" haha...you are never getting out of here until you own up to what you did to Mr Rogers" the man who was in a blue long sleeve which he ended up folding to his elbow, with some dark shades he wore which complimented his black pants said in response to the ex mayor's threats.
This man was a police officer and was tasked with getting information out of the mayor, But so far he kept repeating the same thing.
" I told you before, that person looks like me..but it wasn't ME!!!!" The man on cuffs responded in a tone of frustration.
After the ex mayor was brought in by the police, he was shown the CCTV footage that caught him and Mr Rogers discussing something and the two ending up leaving to enter another room entirely, the video ended there with both of them never coming out.
" What did you go to discuss with Mr Rogers your political opponent ?!' The police man requested to know.
" I have no idea what you are talking my about!! " he responded angrily.
Off in another room were two people sitting behind a screen two screens watching two different footages.
On one side was inspector Hayley who was watching the ongoing interrogation happening at the moment
" I always knew politicians were criminals..this is just a prime example, look how headstrong he is" Hayley said to her partner who kept on staring at his screen watching the content intently.
" Hey..you have been watching that office footage for days now...if there was something that should have been found, shouldn't you have by now?!" Hayley said once again. And this time it managed to get her partner's attention as he turned and replied her
" well.. I found something alright...but I don't know if it would help us in this case or complicate things the more". Detective Dave said. The two had been lumbered to work together as the higher ups considered them the best and the case to be too serious to give the regular slackers within the police unit.
" So...detective ...what did you find?' Hayley replied now interested in whatever her partner had seen that she didn't because she too had watched the video a couple of times.
The detective then turned his screen to face his partner and then started to explain...
" Notice how the mayor came through the door to the office... And after whatever discussion he had with late Mr Rogers, they proceeded to that room".
" yeah, the room where he keeps his expensive wines.." Hayley butted ...
" yeah exactly... But did you notice the mayor never left that room as well?" Detective Dave said leaning back and folding his hands. Staring at his partner as if to see if she understands and was quiet to allow her think about it.
"Maybe there is another way out of there" Hayley finally spoke.
" haha....yeah through the window 25 storeys down "
Dave said laughing..
"Hmmm lets check out the whole thing 24 hours later then" Hayley said once again
" way ahead of ya...I checked the damn footage 48 hours later ...and so far the only people that came in and left were the secretary and the cleaner".. Dave stated...
"Something is definitely up" Hayley said
