The Woman in the Letter

PART 55

IAN

Ian tasted his coffee and put it aside. He carefully examined the documents.

Sam was standing in front of him. "Both assistants had witnessed that night"

Ian shook his head and looked at the other paper.

"Female assistant" Sam continued "Anna Morris, 37 years old. She was at the wedding with her husband and two children at the time of the alleged crime. The restaurant footage was checked as evidence."

Ian looked at the photos of several fragments removed from the footage and set them aside. Turning to the next pictures, "Elton Mitchell. 29 years old. They went to the night session with their friends to watch a movie "

Ian threw the papers aside and massaged his forehead. "These were unnecessary details. It's nothing but a waste of time." He picked up the cup again and frowned as he drank his coffee. He looked at Sam nervously and said, "This tastes..."

"I added cinnamon," he said, looking at Ian's reaction. "I saw it on the Internet." I thought you would like it"

"I don't have to like what you like," he said, putting the cup back on the table.

Sam said, "Oh No, I haven't tested it yet," and took out another folder.

When Ian went to his room, he saw the woman sitting in front of him looking excitedly.

Ian sat down on a chair and looked at the woman's face. "Mrs. Anna"

When she said yes, her voice trembled. She put her nails in his bag so that it would almost tear.

Ian said, "Don't worry. We did not invite you here as a suspect. You just help us," he tried to reassure her.

When Samuel entered the room, Ian did not react. Ian got up, sat face to face with Anna, and put aside the pen in his hand.

Samuel asked, "Can you tell me where you were on the night Victor Atkinson was killed?"

'Yes, we were invited to my cousin's wedding. My husband and I went," she looked at everyone in the room. After seeing no reaction from anyone, she looked at Samuel again and prepared herself for the next question.

Ian: "Do you know what the doctor was waiting for that night?" asked.

"Yes," said the woman, "yes, I know." "The new patient. His name was Noah Kelley ... The doctor was waiting for him"

Samuel leaned against the edge of the small leather chair in the back. Can you give us his contact number? Your potential customers have contact numbers "

" Noah Kelley was a new client. We set the time of the meeting on our Facebook page. He also asked us to contact him on Facebook because there was a problem with his number in the message

When Ian heard this, he looked into space and began to think. Then Anna was even more excited when she saw a strange smile on her face. Without taking his eyes off Ian, he said, "But there is also a contact number."

Samuel got up, dialed the phone number, and called immediately. The silence in the room made it easy to hear the automatic voice of the operator that number out of the reach.

Ian did not react to what he heard. Because he already knew that there was no such number.

"He has a Facebook page," he said, looking at the doctor's assistant again.

"Yes, of course, there was"

"Can you check now, please?"

She lowered his head and saw his thumb trembling as she searched on the phone screen. Anna wrote the name over and over again.

Ian: "There is no such person. Registered from a fake profile. Pictures of someone else were posted and then the account was completely deleted."

Anna slowly raised her head and looked at Ian. "I couldn't find the account," she said.

"Why didn't you stay at work that night and help the doctor?" Samuel asked the woman.

"First, I was invited to a wedding. Second, we usually work until 7 o'clock. Very rarely, we stayed when Dr. Victor told us to stay. It was also the patient's first meeting. At the first appointment, the doctor usually discusses the treatment with the patient. That's why we left because we didn't need any extra help. "

"Didn't anyone appear before or after the incident?"

"Yesterday a girl came," the assistant replied. "She said her friend came on advice, but she was lying." I also took a picture," she said, picking up the phone again.

Samuel eagerly waited for the woman to show him the picture. Samuel leaned over to Ian as the Assistant Doctor held the screen towards Ian.

Ian whispered "Natalie" under his tongue. "Do not worry. We know her. I have another question for you. Have you noticed any changes in the doctor lately? "

"Like what?"

"Any change. Which is something that may seem different to you "

"It was a little ... It seemed a little thoughtful and tense. We didn't ask anything because it would suddenly be a personal matter within the family "

"Thank you very much for coming " Ian smiled.

After saying goodbye to the young woman, Ian hurried to his room.

Samuel ran after him. "I'll talk to Natalie. She has to find what Paul meant in the last letter. I think Paul invites Natalie to meet somewhere." Samuel finished his sentence and expected something from Ian.

Ian looked at Samuel. "He opens a fake profile, registers, and kills. Are you saying that you are doing it just to send a message?" Ian shook his head.

"Doctor is not a random target. No one killed is random. All of the murders have a connection to Paul. This doctor must also have a relationship with Paul. First, you need to find that connection.
