Broken Twins

Replica

Alex is in the hospital. He's in the autopsy room. Forensic doctors know him very well. Therefore, Alex was allowed to enter and as his current position of course Alex also has the privilege to get all the access needed.

"How?" asked Alex.

"I would say it's very clever. And only one person can do it."

"What do you mean?" asked Alex cluelessly.

"Have you ever heard of rumors about famous people who died but were said to be alive and hidden? Yet their bodies and their deaths were witnessed by the whole world?" asked Frank, the best forensic pathologist in the country.

"Yes. Isn't that all an issue?" asked Alex.

"No. They're still alive. The corpses they buried were just a camouflage that was deliberately made to complete their death. Of course the DNA cells and all the rights that the corpse needed to represent them had been implanted in the corpse's body," Frank said.

"It's unbelievable," said Alex.

"That's right. This has been a matter of debate among world forensic experts. But it did happen. In this country there have also been people who are experts in camouflaging like that. But that person is reported to have died."

"Was his death also camouflage?" asked Alex curiously.

"No. That person died of illness. He died in this hospital and everyone saw it," Frank said.

Alex fell silent.

"But this corpse. Although the evidence and the results of all examinations show that this woman is Jennifer. I can guarantee that this body is not Jennifer. Just camouflage," Frank said.

Alex was surprised. He was already quite desperate, when the autopsy showed that the body was Jennifer.

"What a great job. The structure of bones, teeth and blood are all almost the same as Jennifer's. The problem is that no human creation is perfect except for God's creation. No human can compete with God."

"Are you sure this isn't the real Jennifer?" asked Alex to make sure.

Frank nodded. "I suggest you keep Jennifer's death public. If we say it's not Jennifer. Then I'm afraid there will be chaos. The case will continue. And the police will continue to question who this body is. Because this body has lost its true identity."

"Okay. I trust you. Thank you for being the best forensic expert," said Alex.

"You can. Since when can you learn to be intimate like this," said Alex.

"You could. Go quickly. The longer you stay, the more trouble you get," Frank said with a smile.

"Okay. Don't worry. I don't intend to watch you for 24 hours," Alex said then walked away.

Frank's laughter accompanies Alex's steps from leaving the room. Alex had stored all the information in his brain. He decided to sit in the waiting room while enjoying the hot coffee he got in the hospital cafeteria coffee machine. Announcement of the news of Jennifer's death has been made on television. Alex watched the news in the room. He firmly believed that the news had fulfilled the wishes of the person behind the fake Jennifer's corpse. What is their real purpose. But on the other side. Who had tried to kill Jennifer, so that a replica of her death was made. What's really going on?

Alex was also thinking about the other data he got from the torn bloody cloth from Steven's burning house. The dried blood was known to belong to the police who had served under him. The policeman was found murdered. His body was found to have been mutilated. Surprisingly the body was far from Steven's house. If there is a torn cloth in the house it means that one of the residents of Steven's house is the culprit. Really, an interesting case.

"You're still here?" asked a doctor.

"Yes. I'm taking a break," said Alex.

The doctor laughed. "You must be thinking about this case. You know, I know Steven very well," said the Doctor making Alex raise an eyebrow.

The doctor's name is Mark. A doctor with a bad temper and hates the police. Mark is very famous after his attitude hitting Steven in public. The video footage of the incident went viral and earned Mark a suspension from the hospital. The media once reported that Mark and Steven's relationship was enemies. He was also once suspected of being the person behind Steven's accident. But the accusation was never proven.

"Do you also think that Steven and I are enemies!?!" Mark looked at Alex with a sharp look.

Alex just kept silent and didn't give any response.

"This is why I hate the police. They trust the evidence too much and never suspect if the evidence they get is intentionally made for camouflage. And the police easily believe all that," said Mark with a laugh. He got up and was about to walk out.

"I'm not a cop," said Alex, stopping Mark. He turned and looked at Alex with a questioning look. "I'm different from them."

"Is that true?" Mark laughed. "Did you ever suspect that Steven was never married and the woman he was with wasn't his wife and their twins weren't even his children?"

Alex was surprised to hear Mark's words.

"Seeing your shock, I'm sure you are the same as other police. What appears can be deceiving. Be careful and always think there are other possibilities until you find the limit that there is no other possibility than the evidence," said Mark then walked away.

Alex thought about everything Mark said. He was sure Mark wasn't bullying him. It seemed like he was telling the truth. Alex took out his cell phone. He contacts someone to help him get data about Steven. Before going any further, Alex should have known Steven first. By getting to know Steven and his entire personal life, he will discover who Steven's real enemy is.

"Can you help me?" asked Alex.

"What do you need?" asked the voice called.

"Everything about Professor Steven. Including his personal life and secrets of his life that the media has never disclosed or even knows," said Alex.

"Okay. As usual. I'll work depending on how much you can afford."

"Don't worry about that. You already know me. So, provide valid data. Or you know the consequences yourself," said Alex.

"Okay. Ready to go. Give me twenty-four hours. We can meet at the usual place."

"Deal," Alex replied then hung up.

Alex drank his cold coffee. The news on television about Steven's family was still going on. Dramatically packaged news will certainly attract public interest. The work of the news hunters is truly commendable. They work like the police to find any developments in the case.

Alex looked at the clock on his wrist. It's time to go home. He was sure that Jennie must have walked all over the room. Women are always curious. Surely the room will also attract Jennie's attention.
