"Well I am not interested in your case, Mr. Lynch" Rosenmund flip the papers he's holding and answered without looking at him.

"But why detective?" Mr. Lynch asked curiously.

Rosenmund look at him.

"Why? You ask me why?" Rosenmund turned on a page, "You write here that your wife is been missing for 15 days, she left her phone, but she take her jewelry and money that she kept away from you, Nobody call you about demanding money and no case is registered for murder so you are confirmed that she is not kidnapped and murdered. So what you can conclude from all of that?"

"Nothing!" Mr. Lynch said.

Rosenmund sighs.

"She dump you, idiot."

"But ho...w...... how can she?"

"She is your wife, not mine."

"No, she didn't do that"

Rosenmund rolling his eyes with irritation and look at her picture on the file.

"Did she have any social media?"

"No, she hasn't."

"Good."

Rosenmund taking out his phone and open instagram.

"What was her name again?"

"Mary Lynch"

"The real name!"

"Topez. Mary Topez."

Rosenmund type the name Mary Lynch on the search bar. There are 7 results on the name Mary Lynch. Rosenmund enter through all of them. A peculiar account caught Rosenmund's attention. He opens the profile and shows it to the Lynch.

"Is she is your wife?"

Lynch look shocked.

"Yeah, But she....."

"And is this the guy she is bangin'?, He swipe through the another picture. It is a picture of Mary and another guy kissing on Hawaii Beach.

Mr. Lynch down his head and started sobbing.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to your wife." Rosenmund said as he offered Lynch a tissue paper.

Lynch take the tissue and about to leave as continuous sobbing.

"By the way, who's the other guy? Do you know him?"

There is a pause in his reply.

"He's my step-brother."

Rosenmund looked at him shocked. "Das ist auch gut so" Rosenmund said silently.

"Huh?"

"Nothing!! I think you can probably leave." Rosenmund show him the way with his hand. Mr. Lynch left. Rosenmund lie back on the chair and lit up a cigarette.
