"Uncle James, I need to go to hospital road to meet a young client," I told uncle James and left the house. Well, it won't take that much time to reach there. It will take hardly 15 minutes on my bike.
15 minutes later,
I am in front of the house that the little boy told me about. It's a small house, but I can't see much light in the house. It was like no one was in the house.
I went toward the front door and tapped the calling bell. Instantly, I heard the sound of footsteps from inside. Someone in a hurry came toward the door. The door finally opened, and I saw the teenager. Just looking at him, you can tell his age should be 11 to 12 years old.
"Are you Steven?" I asked him softly. Just looking at his pale face, I can tell he was very scared. The boy did not answer my question, he just nodded after hearing the question.
"Are you a big bro detective?" He asked me with his shaking tone.
"Yes, little bro. I am your detective, big bro." I said to him with a smile. The boy needed to calm down. I can see that he relaxes a little after confirming my identity.
With him, I entered his house. It is a small house. Two bedrooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms. I turn on the light of the house. Then, with him, I sat down on his bed. I can see the blanket on the bed. It still wasn't that cold outside to use a blanket at this time. He should be using it because he was terrified.
"So Steven, big bro, is here, okay? So, don't be afraid." I told him. He was sitting beside me and just nodded, hearing me. I just patted his head, then looked around the room.
"Steven, is this your room and the other room is your sister's?" I asked him. He once again nodded.
" Well then, let's go to your sister's room," I told him and got up from the bed. He is also coming with me.
I entered the room and saw that there weren't many things in this room. They simply have some basic things like a book, a table, a bed, and a cupboard. I open the cupboard and see that they are her only clothes. Then I searched the room carefully but did not find anything.
Well, I won't be able to find anything here. I need to go to the crime place, but first I need to do one more thing. I cannot just leave Steve alone here. He won't be able to live here alone.
"Steve, did you eat something?" I asked him. He shook his head. So he still did not eat anything. Well, it is natural, only a family member got arrested by the police, so how can a little boy like him be able to cook food for him?
"Wanna come with your big brother to his house?" I asked him. Well, if he comes with me, then I will be tension free. Steven did not say anything, just agreed with me.
After locking the main door of the house, I and Steven were now going to my house. 15 minutes later, I finally reached my home. Along with Steven, I entered my house and called uncle James. Uncle James came quickly after hearing my call.
"Uncle James, this is Steve. He will stay with us. Please, prepare some food for him." I told uncle James and then turned around and say to Steve,
"Steve, this is my uncle, Uncle James. I needed to investigate your sister's case so you should stay with uncle James. " I told him softly. He nodded after hearing me. Well, he also knows that I need to investigate the case.
After telling uncle James to take care of Steve, l left the house once again. Now my destination is the Convenience Store, where Mira worked. I got to know this store location from the ID card I saw in Mira's room. Fortunately, it wasn't that far away from my place.
In less than 10 minutes, I already reached the convenience shop. I can see it is closed at this moment and there is also police tape outside the store. It was telling people to stay away from that store.
I went to the store. Two police guards were guarding that shop so that no one could enter. They tried to stop me, but after seeing it was me, they did not stop me. I simply entered the shop. The light of the shop was still on. Beside the reception area, I can see a body mark. It was made with a marker. This is where the police found the owner of the shop dead.
I came beside the marked place and activated my ghost t
Eye skill. I can see many footsteps here, but this will be difficult. Also, I noticed one thing that I did not notice previously. I can tell which footprint was old and which one is new.
I need to look carefully around the store. After searching for many things I didn't find anything special, so I decided that first I will talk to Mira. Because right now, even if I found a clue, I won't be able to understand his importance. Well, going out of the store, I try to take pictures of those footsteps. I just wanted to see if I can capture those footsteps that I am seeing right now.
It really shocked me. Those pictures were visible in my photos. I never expected it. Suddenly I deactivated the ghost eye and tried to take pictures of those footsteps. But this time, no footsteps were showing. I once again tried while activating the ghost eye. This time, I was able to capture those footsteps.
Well, what can I say? I still really didn't know many things about this mobile's features. Wasting no time, I took pictures of all the footsteps, and was about to leave the store when I suddenly noticed a fingerprint on a knife. I was only able to notice this fingerprint because I was looking around carefully.
Someone used this nice and then washed the knife. I think he was trying to clear the fingerprint from this knife. Fortunately, there is still a fingerprint. I think this should be that person's Little finger's fingerprint. That person had already cleared the other fingerprint. I looked very carefully at the fingerprint and then took a picture of this fingerprint. I carefully put the knife in a plastic container, then left the store. When I came outside of the store, I could see those guards were still there. Well, I did not say anything to them and just left the area.
"Hey John, where are you right now?" After coming out of the store, I called John.
"Well, bro, I am still at the police station. Mark and I have a difficult case, so we are investigating that." John told me. Now I understand why Mark did not come these few days. His vacation is finally over and now he is back on duty.
"Ok, great. I am coming to the police station. The police arrested a girl named Mira today. I needed to talk to her." I told him. After a few talks, I hung up the call. I once again search for a number and dial the number. This number belongs to teacher Andrew. I needed to know where he was right now.
"Hello, Arthur," teacher Andrew picked up the phone and said to me.
"Good evening teacher. Teacher, where are you right now?" I asked him.
" I am still in the lab. It will still take time to leave the lab. Why? Did you need help? " He asked me.
" Yes, teacher. You guessed it right." I told teacher Andrew that I got a knife in a crime, so I suspect that there will be a fingerprint for the criminal.
"Ok, come to the lab." Teacher Andrew said to me. After saying thank you to the teacher, I hung up the call. Now everything is set. Let's do that. Before going to the police station I will go to the college. Well, the picture of the fingerprint that I captured wasn't that clear, so I hope the teacher and you could do anything about it, and be able to give me a clear picture of the fingerprint. After talking with Mira, I also need to talk with the other worker in the store.
Now I am going to college. It will take me some time to reach there. Previously, I already informed uncle James that I am going to college. So I hope that Steven doesn't get scared. I still did not know if Steven's sister, Mira, really, was the killer or not. I will only know this when I interrogate her. Also, I did not get a mission notification about this case. Well, I should get the notification after I finish interrogating Mira.
