Arthur and Mark were now in a cafe. As you know, before solving anything, Arthur always needed coffee. They had already left Tina's house after asking her father some questions. Well, her mother wasn't in a condition to answer anything, so her father mainly answered their questions.
"So what do you think we should do right now?" Mark suddenly asked.
"I am thinking we should talk to her friends. They probably know something that we don't know." Mark told his thoughts to Arthur.
"Well, I am thinking the same thing. As you heard earlier, Tina yesterday left around 5:00 p.m. to meet her friend. But uncle wasn't sure if dinner left her home to meet Mia. So we need to figure out who she wanted to meet at that time. We should also need to find out all of her friends' names and then interrogate them," Arthur told Mark.
" Hmm… actually, I already have some of her friend's names. I already thought that it will be needed to solve this case," Mark said, and then sent a file to Arthur.
Arthur opens his mobile and looks at the file. Here he can see many names. All the names that were in the file were the person who knows Tina.
"We should start with Mia. She was Tina's best friend. I also think that she knows many things about Tina more than her family. So we should really start with Mia," Arthur said. Mark nodded, hearing him. Well, he is also thinking the same thing.
"So did you get her location?" Arthur asked Mark.
" Don't worry about that. I already have all of their locations," Mark said. He already has all the locations of the people whose names are on the file. He got all of these names from Tina's School.
So after that, both of them left the coffee shop and got in the car. They were now heading toward Mia's house. It did not take them that much time to reach her house. After parking the car outside of her house, they went toward the main gate and pressed the calling bell.
Sometime later, a person opened the gate. Both Mark and Arthur were already familiar with this person because she was Mia, the person they wanted to meet.
Mia who opens the door, instantly becomes shocked because in front of her she can see a policeman. Did something happen? She was thinking that when suddenly see her,
"Hello Mia, we need some information from you, so can you cooperate with us?" Mark suddenly said that to her. He can see the shocked expression on her face.
Mia, who was shocked after seeing the policeman, just nodded. She let these two people come to the hall room after checking the ID of the policeman. Well, she became sure that it was a real policeman.
All of them came to the hall room where Arthur can see a middle-aged man and woman sitting and looking at the TV. Both of them suddenly become startled after seeing a policeman in their house.
"Dad and mom, he is police officer Mark. He wanted to know some information from me." After seeing their reaction, Mia quickly told them.
"Oh… please sit down, officer," her father quickly told Mark and Arthur to sit down. Both of them sit down on the sofa. Now Mia, with her mom and dad, were looking at Mark and Arthur. Mia, her mom, and dad were now waiting for Mark to talk.
Seeing their nervous expression, Mark smiled, then he started to talk.
"Well hello, don't worry. I just wanted to know some information that you only know."
Mia nodded, hearing him.
" Well, Miss Mia, did you know about Tina's condition? Mark asks.
Hearing this sudden question, Mia was surprised for a moment. But then calm herself down. But then she didn't know why she started to feel uncomfortable. So she just shook her head.
Both Mark and Arthur were looking at her expression all this time. But looking at her, both of them were sure that she wasn't lying. Arthur is already using the lie detector. With this, he was completely sure that she wasn't lying. Both of them, seeing this reaction, exchange a glance.
"Well, Miss Mia… how should I put it? I am going to tell you about your friend. Well..... She got murdered by someone yesterday," Mark said this to her and then become silent.
Both Arthur and Mark were silent at this time. They were looking at her reaction. Tears started to come out of her eyes. Her whole body began to shake. But she is still trying to control herself. In this situation, she look at them, and asked them with a shaking voice,
"Inspect… Inspector, you are joking, right?" She asked this with her shaking voice.
Mark knows that it was very painful for her, but still, the truth is the truth. He just shook her head.
After seeing his reaction, Mia instantly began to cry. Her mom, who was also beside her, began to cry, but she was still trying to comfort her daughter. Her dad, who was beside her, was trying to control her tears. Compared to the mother and daughter, he was still ok.
Both Arthur and Mark were staying silent all this time. They eat for them to calm down, so they can ask Mia questions about Tina.
Mia's father looked at them. He was still ok compared to them. Because of this, he wanted to talk with Arthur and Mark.
"Hello, officer, I am Luke Grun. As you see, I am her father. Well, I still can't believe that someone killed Tina. She was a really good girl. Since childhood, both my daughter and Tina were good friends. It is really shocking news for us inspectors. I hope you can understand," Luke said.
Both Arthur and Mark nodded, hearing him. They keep writing for Mia to stabilize herself to answer their questions.

Sometime later,
Mia finally calmed down somehow.
"Well, miss, Mia. We really know that it is a really sad moment for you and your family. But to find the killer, we need to know some information." Mark said that. Mia nodded, hearing him.
" Well then, Miss Mia. Did you and Tina meet yesterday and go somewhere?" Mark asked her.
" No," Mia simply answered this while tears were still coming out of her eyes.
"Did you know who she met yesterday? Most likely that person is the Killer," Mark said.
" I also don't know whom she met yesterday. But, I am guessing that it was Zen Hion. He was her boyfriend." She answered.
" Did you suspect anyone that could kill her?" Mark asked.
Mia just shook her head.
"You can say that Tina was the most cheerful girl in our batch. So I don't think that she has any bad relationship with someone that could kill her. Most of our classmates are her friends," she said.
" So this Zen person. Can you tell us about him? " Mark said that.
Mia nodded and told,
" Well, he wasn't our classmate. He was already a graduate student when he approached Tina. Some days later, I got to know that both of them were now boyfriend and girlfriend. Well, that time I was naturally happy for my friend because Zen was really a kind person. It seems that both of them are made for each other. You can say their relationship started 5 months ago. So I naturally cannot think that he can be the killer. He always treats others with a kind attitude. In these 5 months, I never saw his angry expression or anything like that. All this time I only saw his calm face. He was a student of Lupix Academy." Mia then begins to explain all the things she knows about Zen.
Arthur and Mark were silently listening to her explanation. When she finished her explanation, she also talked about the friends she and Tina have in their school. Mia begins to tell all that they were friends that they have in school. Both of them just silently listen to all of this. Mark also asks many questions about Tina and her friend. Mia tells them all the things she knows about Tina and her friends.

Sometime later,
Both of them were now leaving Mia's house.
"Sigh," Mark sighed. He really wanted to catch the killer. Well, only Arthur also wanted to do the same. But before that, they need to interrogate Zan. But today they won't be able to interrogate him. So he decided to interrogate him tomorrow.
"This is really getting confusing. Well, we still needed to interrogate this Zen, tomorrow," after that with Mark they came back to his house. Now he needed to think.
