Unexpected Victims

Chapter -2 - Drowning in Mystery

Siya’s P.O.V

The sight before me was terrifying; the infamous Leo Brown was lying on the ground, drenched in his blood.

I was frozen, the scene in front of me was full of chaos.

All the people were gathered there, and all the reporters were pushing each other, lunging and clinging to see the victim. Some of them gave up, turned around, and started giving their reports on the camera.

“Mr. Leo Brown, the famous businessman owner of the company ‘Moon’, has been found murdered near his mansion. This has summoned a big crowd of reporters, netizens, and paparazzi. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the investigator to arrive.”

I would like to know who is this investigator.

I don’t like this situation but I want to solve this case. I somehow build the courage to move forward. Though I had to push all of them to make it there.

Courageous me……

My eyes immediately met the worried ones of Mrs. Brown.

“Oh dear, did I wake you up?” she sniffled while wiping her tears.

Yes, this entity, who you're talking to is not a spirit or a ghost...

“No, no problem, I’m here to help,” I replied while trying to coax her.

“The detective of this case,” Baily announced.

I was frozen, and my face was drained of expression.

Gave her son’s case to an inexperienced lass, how so….

Makes me wonder….

All the media persons looked at me like I was a deer caught in headlights. All of them started pacing towards me.

The man suddenly comes in front of me and blocks the audience from towering over me.
Other men also come to help him. Then, once again, he turns back to me.

“Thank you,” I said to him.

“Mrs. Brown, I, don’t think I am the right-”

“I know how capable you are, so, stop doubting it.” Baily interrupted.

“I’ll be here in a minute,” I replied as I pushed the reporters who were about to follow me when the same man from before stopped them.

Thanks once again, savior……

I quickly rushed to the back door, barging inside, without any prior notice, which startled the maids in the kitchen.

They are working at three in the morning …

Wait these aren’t the maids that I saw in the morning…….

Night shift…..

“Sorry,” I apologized.

I led myself to the staircase at the back and brought a detective bag, which had - zip lock bags with ‘evidence’ written on them, contact lenses, gloves, a spare shirt and trousers, a penknife, a screwdriver, sanitizer, pen, and a note pad and….

Chewing gum…

My mother is super intelligent….

She was the one who prepared this bag…..

Chewing improves concentration…

I popped one in my mouth and felt a strawberry flavor burst on my tongue, and my mind sort of instantly cleared up.

I’ll have a good jawline after this….

I quickly followed the same route from where I came from. I rushed down the stairs and startled the maids one last time, from the front door of the kitchen before mumbling a small apology.
