At TEE OFFICE
"Any news on Seth's whereabouts between 10 and 11?" Their boss asked James.
"Nope, still working on it," James said.
"There are no security cameras on the street, Neighbours say they didn't ever see him leave his house," Emily said.
"We've questioned him, he said he probably lost track of time," Jasper said sighing.
"What about Diana? The boss asked.
"Diana?, well I don't think anything's on her," James said.
"But she's obsessed with him".
"From the text, yeah".
"Hmm".
The meeting went on with them trying to figure out the case.
In the afternoon hours.
Someone knocked on Jasper's office, by then the meeting had finished.
"Sir, someone's here, he said he has some valuable information," a lady said.
"Okay, I'm coming right now".
The man was sitting down facing Emily, Jasper and James.
"What's your name Sir?"
"I'm Henry Lange".
"Okay, so you said you have something valuable to tell us," Emily said.
"Yeah, I was watching TV, when I saw the news of Jake Lugard who was found dead. I saw him on Monday morning," The man said.
The three detectives sat up with anticipation.
"Where did you see him Mr Henry?" Jasper asked.
"In the middle of the bush, close to the river, I'm a fisherman," he said.
"Okay, so what did you see?".
"He was waiting for someone, then finally a lady came and they began arguing. I felt it was a lover's quarrel or something, so I left since it was looking serious," he said.
"Did you see the lady's face?" James asked .
"No I only saw Jake's face".
"Okay, what time was this happening?"
"At around 11am".
"Okay, thank you so much Mr Henry," Emily said.
"I hope my identity is safe," He said concerned.
"Of course," James said.
They were at the Crime scene again with other officers but this time with an SAR dog (Search and rescue dog).
An hour had passed but the dog had sniffed nothing.
After a while the dog started sniffing and barking at a particular place.
It was a plain ground , the crime scene investigators dug out the ground and found a b****y knife and a b****y coat.
Using Specialized tools and equipments, they packaged the evidence and it was taken the forensic geneticists, DNA analyst and crime lab technicians for DNA analysis.
7 days later; Monday, 3rd June 2024.
"Are you ready?" Emily asked.
"Sure".
"Let's do this".
DNA analysis was out and they're heading over to the killer's house.
They've finally gathered enough evidence to confront the killer.
They rang the doorbell with their hearts racing with anticipation.
The killer unaware of the evidence answered the door with an annoyed face.
"What do you want?" The killer asked tone dripping with arrogance.
Jasper steps forward, eyes locked on the killer.
"We know what you did," he said firmly.
"We have evidence, game over".
"The killer's attitude drops, I have no idea of what you're talking about," the killer says nervously.
"Don't play dumb, we have the the b****y knife, jacket and witness' statement," Emily said grimly.
The killer's eyes flashed with fear, nervousness and anger.
"Fine, I did it and guess what, I'll do it again," the killer said knowing it was over.
Vivian rushed out of the house hearing the commotion.
"What's happening?" She asked the detectives.
"We've found your fiancé killer," James said eyes flashing on the killer.
She followed his line of sight.
"Diana!!!!!" She gasped.
"Did.....y.....d..I..d," She stammered.
"I did, cos If he can't have me,no one else can," Diana said with a cold smile.
"And guess what big sis..... I'm pregnant for him, even though he's gone, a part of him still lives in me," Diana said smirking.
"Nooooooo!!!!!!!!" Vivian screamed sitting on the floor.
"Seth!!!!!!!!" She yelled.
Diana just laughed devisly.
