You Cannot Blame

Ch 3 Strange Case

I have always known this if I want to do something nothing can stop me until it is completed. Sometimes it's uplifting and sometimes it's very troublesome. Before I started searching, I already knew it and I also know I won't be able to stop myself.

Hey! Wait for me Erika.
In the middle of the street, Iris uproar as she came near me.

Why are you walking like a sloth today? What happened you look tired I said to Iris. She was holding canned juices in her hands.
Don't worry, I'm quite alright nothing to worry about. She gave me one of the canned juice it was guava flavoured and I didn't have a preference for guava-flavoured juice but I drank it anyway.

Iris said to me ' Guess what ' With beautifully gleaming eyes of hers "Today I saw a case of robbery.

Yes and what about it? I have already heard about so many cases and worked on some as well, so maybe I wasn't excited to hear about it. I opened the can and took a sip as she speaks while making our way to the station.

She began, I was looking through the files and arranging the new files in the store room. There were many files but one seems to strike me the most and it was about the robbery. I find it very strange the robber didn't steal the jewels or gemstones but instead stole an inconsequential sum of money which was kept in the safe for which he was caught while running away from the window. The officer caught the robber and he was under the custody of the police. The police were already there as the neighbour saw the unknown man walking into their neighbour's home.

The police closed the case as it was a case of thievery and the crook was, you know sort of a lunatic so they send him to a psychiatric hospital but here is the twist the next day they found the man lying dead in his cell and the man working at the mansion died after him the very day. The man in the cell has no background to speak of. The man who died after him was the head of the Augustenburg family. After the search officers deduced that the head of the Augustenburg family died of a heart attack.

I don't understand how the man died in his cell with no sign of force or any signs of health issues. The police have to reopen the case.

A strange case isn't it? Indeed it is. My brain started thinking about many possibilities that could have happened but with no conclusion maybe I missed something.

Anyway, that's not what I have to answer right away. I have to focus on the letter.

It's getting late. Iris said to me while gaping at her phone. And who is the reason behind it? She looked at me smiling. Forget it never mind I wasn't in the mood to debate with her anyway.
