"Show me the CCTV footage of the gate showcasing the boulevard on the 17th February" Aliya stood before the security team present in the mansion with her friends and yazeed who tagged along them after they left the restaurant
Clicking sound of the keyboard filled the room as the security head of the mansion search for the footage and Aliya stood behind him with scrutinizing eyes at the screen
"Here it's ma'am" he said finally showing her the footage of the exact time needed. They watch for any sign of a person but it was only the arrival of Yazeed, the footage showed his car leaving after an hour but there was no sign of any other person or vehicle passing or sneaking in even the next day only the arrival of the police and reporters
Everyone's anticipation of a clue died with each second that passed like a dying fire. Nothing. Nothing was found,no one entered before or after Yazeed. Seeds of doubt start to sprouts in minds. How did the killer entered? Does that means the killer is inside the house?
"Where's the head of workers?" Aliya asked sharply
The security team looked at each other before the youngest among them volunteered to go and call him
Few minutes after his departure he came in together with a bulky size man by his side whom Aliya recognized as someone that worked in the mansion for as long as as she can remember
"Yes ma'am" he responded to her call
"Are you the one who employs and manage all the workers in the mansion?" She asked tapping her foot on the tiled floor furiously
"Yes ma'am, how can I help you?" He asked her nervously, the pressure continues to build up in the room from Aliya who doesn't even know her demeanour is affecting the people inside the room but it isn't like she cares that much, all she want is a clue to take a step forward to get to the killer
"I want a list of all the workers in the mansion, their post and the date they were employed" She said her hands on her waist staring at the bulky man in thought before adding
"And i want it as soon as possible" the bulky man scurried away from the scrutinizing stares of Aliya to do as she said without a knowledge of why it's needed.
Aliya matched out of the security teams office and her crew followed her hurriedly to catch her heels.
They walked into the living room catching sight of Aliya faraway from them sitting on one of the seat in the dining with her laptop on it pressing God knows.
Aliya connected to the server and clicked into the footage watching it again thinking that maybe she missed something
"Aliya what are you doing?" Amanda asked her approaching the dining table, she took a seat next to her and glanced at the screen seeing what Aliya was watching
"Why are you watching it again?" She asked again
"Maybe i missed something ,there should be something unless the killer lives in this place" Aliya said without glancing at her, her eyes fixed on the screen with an attentive look, chewing her thumb in the process maybe from nervousness.
"Then we should wait for the head of the workers to bring us the list you asked for" Sofia advised as she also took a seat close to Aliya watching the footage too
"Yes we should maybe there should be a clue from it from any of the new worker taken in or interrogate all the workers" Yazeed added standing behind Aliya
Absorbed in watching the empty boulevard they heard heavy footsteps walking in and the bulky man from earlier walk in with a file in hand
Aliya stood up as if eloctrocated on her seat and marched forward snatching the file from the man before he even say a word or hand it to her
