Dave went to his friend. Dave was influential because he was a businessman and becuase he always made nice friends and all his friends were in top positions.
"What!!!" Dave's friend James said after hearing of what Dave was asking him to do which he knew was illegal very much.
"You are asking me to literally give you evidence which is sealed away in the evidence garage!!!!!" James again reminded him.
"I know but the case was closed and anyways I really really need to figure out what is going on with my whole family. There has to be something going on. Which starts with my sister so I need it."
"But...." before he could complete
"James you know my mom did not die just because of natural reasons. It was definitely something more. You know it too." Dave was basically emotionally blackmailing him.
James always considered Aunt Lucy as his mother and that is why he always had a weakness when she comes in picture.
"Alright I'll see what I can do." James said.
That evening, I kept thinking of how can the murder be done and how much sure was I about the two cases being connected because we never found no prove whatsoever of the cases being connected. I was sure that the murderer was definitely someone from inside the house otherwise how will someone change the powder medicine inside the capsule.
Well that does narrows down the list of suspects. The issue? The narrowed down list itself is HUGE because there are many servants and many drivers and many more employees who knew uncle Brian and Aunt Lucy very well.
I kept thinking when Dave suddenly came in and said "Here are all the evidence."
I was sitting on a chair and as I turned back I was surprised "How did you get a officer give you evidence on a case?"
"Well it was a cold case and he takes my mother as his own and before you he had an idea of her being murdered so, that is it."
Though I did not like what he exactly did but I needed those to find the sister. So, I started digging the evidence.
Now let's formally introduce the team Sandy our forensic scientist, Linda our hacker or computer girl, Dave was basically my personal Dr Watson and I was well the Sherlock Holmes in this case.
We started processing the evidence. The evidence box had her locations detail according to her phone's ping.
That would help us create a timeline. It was the night of celebration, the last day of the Durga puja. Everyone loves that festival around here. It is the day known for good over evil. That auspicious day some person did such an evil deed.
That day everyone was at the puja ground including Lisa just like her phone pinged. It was about 10 PM everyone was there. Then around 10:45 PM she went home and again came back. I checked the route if she took a detour but no the route was her home route. She left her house by 11:15 PM and reached puja ground again by 11:45 PM and then at 12 AM her phone pinged her at the water shore where the Durga idol was immersed.
If we think carefully then she was kidnapped infront of everyone while immersion as 12AM immersion of idol was done and we all were present there. That is the first doubt, how did a person kidnapp such an influential person infront of so many people. The whole town new the Mennons and there kids.
"It's late now, let me drive you home Ana." Dave said but I did not answer because I was thinking.
"Ana? Ana!!!!!" Dave shouted.
"Ahhh" I was amazed with Dave shouting suddenly.
"What are you thinking?" Sandy asked.
I didn't want to say anything before I was sure myself.
"Nothing. It is late so let's go home."
I reached home and slept directly without eating. I didn't know how tired I was until I slept the moment my head hit the pillow. I had a strange dream that night. The dream showed Lisa walking down the in the shore of sea and jumping inside. I woke up with a sudden jerk scared of the dream with the morning alarm.
This dream was really weird but anyways I went to the shop today. There was a party to be photographed today so I left the case alone today and got ready for the shoot. I really wanted to be in the case but couldn't. I didn't really had the time today and after returning didn't have energy either. But thinking kept going in my head time after time and something was not giving me peace.
After the shoot I wanted to see everything once again so that I can figure out what was that something in my head.
I returned back and stood infront of the board I created and it clicked 10 to 10:45 that is it took her 45 minutes to go home from Puja ground but while returning she took only 30 minutes and by far as I know it takes atmost of 30 minutes in heavy to heavy traffic from Puja ground to her own house. Why did she take extra 15 minutes to her house and why was she at house for 15 minutes and why to come out if you already went home?
Where was she in that time? What was she doing exactly? Will Ana figure out? How will she? Let's continue with this....
