Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 : Nothing found

Sometime later, the staff lady who was responsible for the cleaning of room 303 came and stand in front of the three.

" What do you know about the customer of room 303 ", Jean asked.

" The lady and man, they both were normal the first day but then...I felt like something was wrong. I remember seeing the lady yesterday and she was shaking for some unknown reason. The man himself didn't let me enter the room and was kind of strange. His eyes were red....it was scary ".

The lady maid said whatever she knew after knowing that she was called in by the police and had no reason to lie either.

She said everything she knew but Adeline and Jean focus on the behaviour of the victim and her lover.

" You said, the man's eyes were red...was he sweating? ", Adeline asked.

To her surprised, the lady node her head.

" You can head back ", Adeline gave the permission to go back.

" Jean, told our special force team to take out his information and home adress, nothing should be left. I will go and check the room once more ".

Adeline said in hurry and went to the crime scene to inspect once again, the whole situation was....

Jean agree and inform the team of the man and he continue his search. As she went in, she started looking for the clue...

The drawers, shelf, down the bed and every possible to place where the couple can hide the drugged.

Maybe...one of them was drugged or maybe in the influence of drugged and committed this crime. But no drugged can give out this result...

The victims looks like she was attacked by some beast or wild animal, which is strange where there's no way an animal can enter in this hotel.

She started looking around and then....in the shelf near the bed, when she opened it, she found something inside the drawer.

Her heart skipped a beat but then it calm down when she realised that it was just a pilled bottle.4

At first glance it was just a normal pill bottle and gave no hint to her that it can be dangerous in any way.

But the second time she took a deep look, she realised something odd...

" No brand, no company address, no priscription...nor any ingredients information. Strange...".

She though.

Unfortunately, whatever good she was thinking about this pill bottle, she found nothing. The outside appearance of the bottle was blank, just white bottle and nothing else with pills inside it.

She opened the cap of the bottle, took a pill out. At first glance, everything was normal. " Even though there's nothing written on the bottle, everything seems normal. Is there anything that I am missing? " , She questioned herself while taking a deep look.

Her eyes, rooted on the pill, even her eye dialect were focused on the pill.

" No matter in what direction I think, it must be related to the drug. I have to work harder in this case, it's not as simple as I think it is ".

Even though she was not able to find anything but a bottle of pill, she took it for further investigation.

And continued her search around the room.

Everything in the room was messy, in horrible state. There are clear evidences that the victim was dragged from the bathroom to the living room.

Even the door has the marks of being slammed on, there was so much blood on the door from inside. Not a good sign in her view....

After taking a deep look and looking at the dead body in the hall, she felt sick in her stomach but she control her desired to puke and took another look at the room one last time before leaving.

And then...when she again looked at the dead body, she goy startle...

The eyes...the eyes of the dead person just move and look at her.

She rubbed her eyes and again looked at the dead person. Surely enough...no change.

" Am I hallucinating? myabe I have work too much that I am tired now and seeing things ".

She conclude this and then exit the room. Before going out, she did not forget to stick the banner of not entry on the entrance.

She returned to counter and saw everyone gathering in the hall.

" Mister, can we check the cctv footage of today and yesterday? ", She asked.

The manager looked at his staff and nodded. It's actually illegal for outsiders to asked for the cctv footage.

But it's the police they are talking about and no one can stop them if they want to see it, afterall...they have to co-operate.

" This way....".

The manager agreed at last and show them the way towards the survillance room.

The hotel is very big and there are cameras everywhere to spot everything...

The camera's are like the eyes of eagle, nothing can escape it's gaze.

The manager took them to the surveillance room. It was a huge room and there were two people inside, looking at everything.

" Show us the footage of yesterday and today, the footage of whole hotel ", Said Jean in a strict tone.

The two supervisers looked at the manager and when they got the permission, they looked for the footage and then start to play on all the screens.

As the footages starts to play on the screen, Adeline and Jean rooted their eyes on all of the screen.

When looking at the cctv which included the couple inside, they seemed like a normal couple.

Nothing from them seemed like toxic or anything.

Unfortunately, when the camera was about to tell the real story, everything became blank on the screen. As if the camera was destroyed, so that no one would see what happened in that room.

Jean and Adeline looked at each other, they found nothing valuable on the cctv.

" Thank you so much for giving us your valuable time. But it's not going to be the first time for us to visit. If nothing goes wrong, you are off the hook. But if you know anything else that can help us find the murderer...please contact us. For now...we should take our leave ".

After saying all that, Adelin and Jean took their leave.

They both come out from the hotel. Adeline has always been hardworking. But in today's case, she was showing extra attention and curiousity.

Which...he found little disturbing.

" Adeline! Are you okay? ", He finally end up asking her after thinking a little of it.

She looked at him with her eyes wide open and don't know how to answer him.

" I guess I am okay ", She answered while laughing a little, it's not her intention to laugh. But she don't know how to tell him about the matter.

" You guess? it means something really did happened with you. Anway! I am not going to ask you anything as it's your private matter. But if you trust me....you won't mind sharing your worries with me. Whenever you will safe to speak ".

Jean is a person who will never force her to do anything or speak about something she don't want to. As much good colleagues they are, they are friends too...

" Thank you so much respecting my personal space. By the way! I got something for you ", She is glad to have him in her life.

But there is something else she wants to show him.

He looked at her with curiosity, to see what she got for him.

She took out the unknown pill bottle from her pocket and handed in his hand.

His face expressions turn grim after seeing that pill bottle.

" Adeline! My health is pretty good, I don't need these pills ", He thought she brought him some strength or health improving pills.

He just looked away from her and urged her to take this pills away from him.

Hearing that, she smack him on the head. " Idiot! this pill bottle... I found it at the crime scene when searching for clues. Do you really think I have no work? and that I will get something as useless as those Pills? ", She is really amazed as to how progressive his thoughts are.

After hearing what she said about the pill and from where she got those pills, he became serious.

" It's quite risky to take things from the crime scene ", He said in worried tone.

" We are cops and not thieves. It's our duty to bring the truth out from the dark. Don't think too much ".

Adeline surely showing so much curiosity in this case.

Cause...she is worried about something. Just couple of hours ago, she got a called from her little sister. And the way she sounded...it's quite serious matter.

If this case in connected to that case...it's a big problem.

" By the way! what type of pills are these? what is their effect? ", Jean asked curiously.

" This is what we have to find. I don't know what kind of pills are these...so, ".
