18 THE SIGN

Inside the investigation room, Yibo sat on the table in front of Ray who looking straight blankly in the wall.

"Why did you kill Nurse Helena?" Asked Yibo.

"I didn't kill her," replied Ray, coldly.

Yibo turned his body to the side while groaning.

"Oh, come on, Ray  Chao Xie Er! All the evidence is pointing at you! Where were you on Wednesday at 2.30 morning?" Asked Yibo.

"I was in my way home after work," replied Ray.

"What was happening on the way home?" Asked Yibo again.

"Nothiñg happened. It's the same as usual....!"

Yibo looked at Ray's expression tightly. His detective eyes could sense that Ray was lying.

"Ray, don't make me forcing you to use the polygraph....!" Said Yibo.

Ray glanced at Yibo for a while before his eyes went back to stare at the white wall.

"I'm not scared...." Replied Ray.

Yibo took a deep breath. He slid off the table and now he stands in front of Ray, arms supporting his body weight on the table.

"So, if you are sure you're innocent, tell me what did you see that night...!" Demanded Yibo.

Again, Ray took a quick glance at Yibo.

"I saw nothing," said Ray.

Ykbo lost his temper. He grabbed Ray's shirt collar and pulled it up.

"I swear, Ray! If you're not cooperative with us, I will tell yout mother where you got the insulin from! The serial number is the same as nurse Helena launched from hospital!" Yibo threatening the man.

Ray glared at Yibo.

"Don't bring my mother or brother into this mess!" Ray hissed.

"Then! Be cooperative!" Snarled Yibo.

Ray sent Yibo another glare, then he turned away, back to look at the wall.

"Fine. I'll tell you everything....!" Said Ray.

Yibo let out a breath through hus nostrils, feels satisfy with Ray's answer. He released his grip on Ray's shirt and pushed the man to the back slightly. Then he pulled another wooden chair  and sat on it, facing Ray.

Ray put his both hands on the table, rubbed them against each other. Head hung low, taking the courage to tell Yibo the truth.

That night, around 10 minutes past , Ray went home from his work place. As usual, Ray took his old bicycle and started to pedal on the pavement.

After about 15 minutes cycling, Ray came out of the main road which is not exactly a main road and turned into  passageway which seemed to not many people came across it in the night, and it's totally empty at wer hour like this. He was happily pedaling his bicycle when he heard a female's scream from the outer road he just left behind him. But it was gone suddenly.

It made Ray stopped pedaling and turned his face to the mouth of the passageway he just passed by. He let his bicycle lays on the ground, while he walked back to the road to see what was happening. When he reached, he looked around to find the source of the voice, but he found no one. So, he walked out further, even though he feels aware if there is something not right was happening.

And he saw small spots on the concrete pavement in dark red color. Blood. Ray gasped silently, but he quickly covered his mouth before he let out the sound. The blood wasn't much dropped on the floor.
