Unravel the Mystery with me

Episode- 9

We settled ourselves down on the chairs which were kept in front of his desk, facing towards him. He looked calm as if he was aware that we were going inquire him about the my sister's case. His smile extended from one ear to another while greeting us. His body stood straight as if he is ready to tackle any kind of attack.

"So you are the one who handle the suicide case of Lexi Beethoven?" Emma started to throw her question one by one at him.

"Yep I was the officer who handled the case." His rusty voice created an irritating sensation in my ears. I remembered how much I hate him and how brutally I want to kill him. 

"Okay, Are you sure it was a suicide case?" 

"Yes I am. As soon as entered the crime scene I observed that the deceased was lying on the floor. A rope was hanging from the celling and a ligature  mark could be seen around her neck. We even observed the room, there were no signs of any kind of fight or struggle." 

"Can I know why you guys didn't consider his statement?" While pointing the finger at me her voice grew even more bold. She knew half of the statement of him are true and half are false.

"His? Well if my memory is right, he was drunk that night and the statements which he gave didn't match the situation of the crime scene, so we decided not to consider his statement."

The blood in my veins started to boil up. I really wanted to punch his face really hard that he would not be able to tell lies again after I heard those lines from his mouth. But soon my blood cooled down. I could sense a soft skin over my hand. As I looked down, I saw Emma's hand on mine. She knew I was not comfortable by his words so she calmed me down by assuring me that she is with me and everything is fine. 

"Can I have a look at the photographs that your team took from the crime scene?" 

"Ok." Alex stood up from his chair and started walking towards the pile of documents and started going through each and every piece of paper kept there. He stopped his fingers at a brown colored cover and opened the file. After having a look at the document his feet took few steps towards our seat. "Here are the photographs, evidences and everything that we collected on the crime scene."

As we opened the file the first thing that appeared on the first page was the photo of Lexi laying down on the ground. The first photo shook both of us and as we went through the file it was unbearable for us. 

"Hey distract him so I can take pic of the file." With a soft voice she whispered in my ears. 

"Alex can I have a word with you?" I didn't wanted to but I had to do it. I had to distract him so that Emma could take the picture of the document.

"Okay."

"Can you umm, come outside it is kind of personal?"

"Alright." He opened the door of his office room and my feet slowly followed his steps. "Speak what you want to."

"I remember that night. You purposely didn't take my statements. Right"

"What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean. My alcohol index that day was below the average index and according to the law, a person whose alcohol index is less than average index, his statement are consider legally."

"I guess you have been mistaken. Your alcohol index was more. That is why we didn't take your statement."

"Let me warn you if I somehow find you involved in the case or you are the one behind it, I swear to God I won't leave you breathing." I could feel a little fear develop in his eyes. He intentionally stopped making eyes contacts with me and avoid my question.

"Hey I have gone through it." Emma interrupted our talk by opening the cabin gate and letting herself out of the cabin. "Thank you for answering our questions and letting us see the case file. I hope we won't have to see each other's face again." She inter looked our hands and started pulling me as she made her way out of the police station..

"Did you get the photos?"

"Yeah thanks to you I was able to get them."

"So what do we do next?"

"While going through the document I saw something on the floor where Lexi was lying."

"What did you saw?"

"We will come to know after we investigate the crime scene."
