The moment Salma and Youssef arrived at the house, followed by Ashraf, they found Officer Wael Al-Bahtimi waiting for them in front of the house.

Officer Wael stood in front of the door of the house and Salma, Youssef, and Ashraf approached him.

They saluted Officer Wael Al-Bahtimi, then Officer Wael introduced himself to them.

Officer Wael: I am Officer Wael, the detective officer from the police department, who is in charge of investigating the accident that happened to Madam Khadija this morning.

Salma: Welcome, Your Honor. I am Salma, the daughter of Madam Khadija, the victimYoussef: I am Youssef, and this is my sister’s husband Ashraf. I am the president of the company where Salma works, and Ashraf, my sister’s husband, is the CEO of the company.

Salma works with us in the company, and Madame Khadija is a friend of the late Baba and used to work with him in the company in the past.

Officer Wael: Okay, and now we must enter the house in order for the criminal investigation team to carry out its work.

Salma opened the door of the house and the criminal investigation team entered and began their work. Investigation officer Wael Al-Bahtimi, Youssef, Ashraf, and Salma all sat until the criminal investigation team finished their work, and they chatted with Salma, Youssef, and Ashraf.

Officer Wael: The question is directed to Salmi: Do you have any rivalry or enmity with anyone?

Salma: She looks at Officer Wael and her eyes are filled with tears.

There is no animosity or rivalry between us and anyone. We are peaceful people in our situation.

On the contrary, my mother is beloved by our grandfather from our neighbors who are around us.

Officer Wael: This is good, but do you keep something very valuable in your house, because I see everything here in the house scattered, as if the one who entered the house and scattered its contents was looking for something of very high value.

Salami: No, not at all, Your Honor. We do not have anything valuable that would invite others to break into our house in order to steal.

Officer Wael Al-Bahtimi: I ask you, Miss Salma, to check the items in the house, whether they have been stolen or not.

Salma went through the contents of her house, the furniture, the bedrooms, the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. She found everything, but it was scattered on the floor. Nothing but the glass cups that were in the kitchen were not spared from the hands of those who broke into the house and broke the glass.

Salma returned and informed the investigation officer, Wael Al-Bahtimi, that nothing was missing except that the glass cups were broken.

At the same time, one of the men from the criminal investigation team came with some papers that were scattered on the ground and gave them to Officer Wael.

Officer Wael grabbed the paper and began reading it aloud to those present. After he finished reading the paper, it had the badge of the company that Salma works for on it, and here Youssef intervened in the conversation.

Youssef: Addressing Officer Wael, please can I see these papers since they have our company badge on them?

Officer Wael: Please, Mr. Youssef.Youssef: He took the papers from Officer Wael’s hand and began reading them.
