"Please sit down, detective Arthur and Kenny," Alexa said while she went back to her seat.
We both also sat down on the sofa.
"So, what do you want to discuss, Kenny? What can I do for you, Mr. Detective?" Alexa asked.
" I am sorry that we came and prevented you from leaving the mall. But don't worry, I just have a simple request I wanted to tell you. Miss Alexa, I just wanted to ask you if we can see the 2 days and 3 days' CCTV footage." I asked her.
___________________
3rd person POV:
Alexa got surprised when Arthur said that. No, it did not surprise her after hearing the request. But it surprised her when Arthur told her they prevented her from leaving the mall.
Actually, she was about to go outside of the mall and then go back to her home. But because suddenly Arthur and Kenny came, she didn't leave. She wanted to know why she came here. Now, hearing how Arthur told her correctly about her leaving, it really surprised her.
"I didn't think you would do this well. So why do you want to check the CCTV footage?" Alexa asked.
" You see, Kenny here got attacked by someone 3 days ago and I am investigating that case. I got some clues about the person. Now I just need to watch the CCTV footage so that I can confirm my guess. Because of this, I wanted to ask if I could see the CCTV footage?" Arthur explained to her about the case as quickly as he could.
Alexa nodded after hearing him. She understood why he wanted to watch the CCTV footage.
"Actually, I normally don't allow this, but if watching the CCTV footage helps your case, then you can see the city footage. I am giving you permission," she said seriously.
"Thank you very much, Miss Alexa. Now that I get the permission, I won't prevent you from leaving and I think your driver is calling you. Miss Alexa, you should receive the phone. Well then, goodbye Miss Alexa," after saying that, Kenny and Arthur got up from their seats and walked toward the door.
Alexa once again became a surprise. Previously, her phone was vibrating, but because Arthur was telling him about the case, she didn't answer the phone. Now, she checks her phone; it is really her driver who is calling her.
"Interesting," she said while answering the call.
________________
Arthur and Kenny were now in the lift. They were going back to the 3rd floor. Because the security room was on the 3rd floor.
Kenny was once again surprised after seeing his capability of Arthur. Previously when he told all this to Miss Kenny, she didn't rebut him, so all the things he told were true. Most probably the last thing he said before leaving the room was that Miss Alexa's driver called her, also probably true. But, the question is, how did he tell me about this?
But she did not ask him about this. Both of them were silently going toward the security room. She can ask about this later.
___________________
Arthur POV:
After leaving Miss Alexa's room, I and Kenny approached the security room. We got permission from Alexa, so with no delay, we entered the security room. The guard who was in the security room didn't stop us. I think Miss Alexa already told him.
I also already used my observation skill on Alexa.
"Name: Alexa Taylor
Age: 24
Job: CEO of Jain shopping mall
Relationship with victim: None. "
The thing I am most surprised about after seeing her last name. Because in our city, one of the rich businessmen has the same last name.
Well, I can think about that later, because I need it to focus on my current case.
I told the security guard to play the footage from 3 days ago, then the footage from 2 days ago. At the same time, I won't be able to see this footage, so I will see them one by one.
The guard played the footage from 3 days ago.
Kenny and I are looking at the same footage. I won't be watching the full footage. I already told Miss Kenny to make a list of the times when she left the cash counter. Because I think only when she was around, an enemy could touch her purse.
I know it wasn't possible for her to write the exact time when she wasn't in the case and forget to bring her purse. Still, I told her to make the list even though she wasn't sure about this. Even though she did not remember, she had an idea when she left the cash counter.
I will search around those times that she writes. This will make my investigation easier.
______________________________
30 minutes later, me and Miss Kenny left the shopping mall. I already finished watching those two videos. I also told the security guard to give me a copy of those videos. Because I found nothing wrong in that footage, but like previously, my mind is telling me that something is wrong in this footage. I just need to find out about it. So I asked for a copy of these two pieces of footage. I can see those two pieces of footage later.
"Now, Miss Kenny, previously I forgot to ask you, but did you find anything in your other purse you bought 3days ago?" I asked her. Previously I totally forgot about this thing but now I remember, so I asked her. I know that this is very simple for a detective to forget, but what can I say? I am still a human and just a newbie detective.
"Oh yes, Mr. Arthur. As you said previously, I searched in my purse that I brought to the shopping mall 3 days ago. I did not find any pen drive, but I found this envelope. I think something is inside this envelope. Something hard, not paper." She said while taking out an envelope from her purse.
