Chapter 5 : First Case

Barry and Eleana arrived at the crime scene few minutes later. There were a dozen of cops around it, to make sure curious people would stay out of this.

Both forensic scientists walked towards one of the policemen, showing him their badges. He moved to let them go in before going back to his post.

"So what do we have Joe ?"

Eleana asked, looking at the detective.

"John Kessen, 40 years-old.

Had an ex-wife and two children. Seems like a suicide, he jumped from

the 10th floor." Joe answered,

pointing at the body on the ground.

"Any witness ?" Barry

asked, taking a look at the dead man.

"Few people saw him falling

from his appartment, besides that we have nothing yet."

Eleana nodded and got down to

examinate the body from closer, to make a diagnostic.

"The man was dead before he

even touched the ground. See those marks on his neck ? He was

strangled, then pushed through the window, probably to make it seems

like a suicide. There are fight marks that let think John tried to

resist to his murderer." She said, looking at the top of the

building then back at the corpse.

"How, how do you know that

?" Joe asked, impressed.

"The blood. If he died when

touching the ground, there would be more blood. I would say he was

killed around an hour before he was pushed." Barry replied.

"You're taking the words out

of my mouth Mister Allen." Eleana grinned, making Barry

smile.

Eleana stood up and high-fived

Barry. Captain Singh arrived at that moment.

"One of the neighbor said he

heard some screams coming from the appartment of our dead man,

earlier this morning. He added that it was usual so that's why he

didn't worry about it." He said, looking down at the cadaver

making a face in disgust.

"Do we know who was with him

?" Joe asked.

"Kyle Mansson. He's the new

husband of Marissa White, the ex-wife of John. Apparently he and

Marissa were arguing about the guard of their children for few weeks

now."

"So the new husband killed

the ex one ? That is a theory." Eleana stated.

"He or the wife. We don't

know yet. Joe I want you and the two forensic scientists to go see
