The Prevoken soul

part 8

"It was almost 6 in morning, i woke up and was doing my daily routine. I heard some rustling outside, so i thought that it's the same rabbit that have been festing on my crops from a week. So i took my net and went to the Direction i heard something. But when i went outside i smelled smoke, first i thought that the watchman came here to smoke again in fields because there was a cctv outside the warehouse. But, when i looked in warehouse's direction there was smoke coming out of there. So i ran to it, even if i was not able to run much fast i still did. When i got inside there was all smokey in the warehouse so i couldn't see anything inside. I called the neighborhood people from my phone but i knew it will take time for them to come so i went inside somehow. I was suffocating because of the smoke but still went inside when i saw a big stash of burned things. And when the neighbors came they saw the body and called police. I was told to go to my house because i wasn't feeling well. That's it."

I was listening to him so carefully I didn't realise when he stopped.

"Ohhh, so that's what happened."

I stayed there more and decided to leave because i got to know what i wanted to.

"Okay then uncle I'll meet you again someday later."

I was about to get up from my seat when he said

"Wait wait, do you have some minutes i need your help."

"Yeah, what is it about ?"

"I couldn't find my knife which i used to cut strawberries with. It was my favourite one because my daughter gave me it. Can you halp me find it in the store room's door, it's stuck pretty bad."

My eyebrows furrowed, a knife ?

I went with him to the store room and opened the door for him, he searched but couldn't find it.

I decided to take my leave again. I was standing near the door out of his house and him in the door frame.

"Okay then uncle if possible tell me when sara comes back i would love to meet her."

"Yes yes why not. You three can have a party here after she comes."
"Huh, who three ?"

"Ohhhh actually i forgot to tell you. 2 days ago jun hee came here just like you. She was here to meet sara. But she went away without even telling me anything. I went to bring some strawberries to give her but i couldn't find her later."

What the actual hell. Who tf is jun hee. And she came here 2 days ago. Wait !

"You two must be missing sara a lot right. I miss her too. Did i tell you i have dementia. I forget many things. But not the important ones. I am suggested to..."

The uncle was talking but my mind was somewhere else.

2 days ago means on the day of murder junhee came here, and the uncle's knife is missing. He says he didn't saw junhee going away.

"I should have never let my dear daughter-"

"Uncle do you remember jun hee ? How does she look or where does she live and, and what was she wearing that day ?"

I cut him off and asked this all in one breath. He looked a little confused.

"I don't remember how she looks. Ahhhh i remember she was wearing a beige coat that day."

"You remember anything else."

He just grinned a little

"Didn't you say before that you are not a reporter or something. Haha"

Why does he have to joke right now, if i was nor dealing with an old man with dementia, i would have pointed a gun at him.

"Ok ok bye uncle i'll leave."

I waved at him smiling and turned back again with a cold expression. Why is this so messed up !!

I walked rapidly to chan. But out of nowhere rain started pouring. So i started running i saw chan's car coming to the house, he immediately stopped as he saw me.

He opened the door and i sat in i took deep breaths for a while to calm myself.

"Chan, did you read the report ?"

"Yes, why ?"

"First, stop the car somewhere"

He nodded and started the engine. He knew something was going in my mind and to find answers we need to have a pretty discussion.

  Car stopped near a restaurant. It was almost night as it took a lot of time on the way.

We both took our seats and ordered some food.

"Ugh, my makeup looks crap because of rainwater ! Why didn't you tell me in the car ?" I said looking at the mini mirror and then him.

"No, you look beautiful with that black eyeliner going till your ear." He laughed.

"You think it's a time to joke ?"

"You think it's a time to think about your makeup, come on tell me what you've got !"

"Fine !" I put my mirror inside my bag again.

I became more serious and told him everything i came to know there.

After hearing everything attentively, he leaned back on the chair and started thinking.

We both knew how complicated this was. He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and looked at me.

"Did you noticed a detail in report ?" I shook my head a little.

"Which one are you talking about ?"

"There is no information about the victim rather than him being a smuggler, where does he live, what's his age and all. But according to me, his name is julian lee right, that means he has some connection with other country."

"What do you mean ?"

"I mean he maybe adopted or either his parents were foreigners..."

"How can you say that so confidently, what if he changed his name, what if that is not even his real name, then ?"

"Ohh right"

I shook my head in disappointment.

"But he looks like a foreigner"

"How do you know he looks like a foreigner ?"
He looked at me like i was dumb.

"I saw in the photograph."

"You have a PHOTOGRAPH !!"

I yelled loudly and then realised everyone was looking at me. I didn't realise i was standing.

I sat down awkwardly and just looked at him.

"So you didn't saw the photograph ? How can the people higher ups do something so stupid."

He took out 2 photo from his pocket and gave it to me. One with the victim and one with just the murderer.

It was easy to figure out that my suspesion was right. She is wearing a beige coat, she is jun hee.

And Chan's suspesion seems to be right too, he looks like an outsider. I was too immersed in taking a look at details i didn't see the waiter coming.

"Oh, that looks like my sister." A girly voice said.

I slowly turned my head towards the person, she seems familier. She took the photo from my hand and looked closely and said

"Yeah, it's surly my sister."

Woah, that means it would be a great help. I changed my expressions,
"We are her childhood friends, she used to talk about you a lot, but I can't remember your name you are..."

She put the photo on table and gave and rolled her eyes.

"Proves you are not her friends. Just ask me anything you want to know about her."

Shit, did i missed something, she seems to be smart.
