"I just don't know what to say. You are really arresting Me. But, before that how the hell can my fingerprints be there on that knife. I haven't touched that knife. I haven't seen it." Ben said trying to make Liza agree on his statement.
"I have analysed the knife twice. Even I was shocked, but the truth is truth. Your fingerprints are found on this knife and Lewis's blood and cells too are found on this knife. That proves that Lewis was killed from this giant sized sharp knife." John said proving his point.
"But that is not possible.." Ben was stopped by Liza,"Enough you bloody idiot, enough. Stop playing with me now. All the clues are against you. First of all, you keep calling me that I can't catch the killer which is you, and I am too dumb. Secondly, you tell me that the murder weapon is in your house. I went to your house and shockingly I found the weapon there itself. How is that possible now?"
Ben kept his emotions in tact. He said,"I have told you enough times, that someone is playing with you. Someone has copied my signature which explains the call incident. Someone wrote a letter and then wrote my address in the sender's section, and someone knows what you call me, this explains the letter incident. But, I don't know about today's incident."
Liza said,"Today atleast for God's sake, don't tell a fairy tale Ben. Tell me, why on earth did you start this killing job. You didn't get high salary from this detective job? Tell me, who paid you for the murder, tell me Ben Stokes!!"
Now Ben couldn't control his emotions. Tears started to flow from his cheeks. He said with a low voice,"Liza why are you doing this? You know me from one whole year. How can you lose trust on me? You.."
Liza stopped Ben again. "Stop this melodrama. I am not gonna get fooled. You are busted. And now, I will forget the fact that you are my friend. I promised Lewis that I will bring justice to him. See, I fulfilled my promise. Now, I am going to do everything to put you behind the bars."
Ben's tears took speed. He was broken. For him, everything was like a dream. He never thought that the woman he loved will one day destroy his career and would stop believing him. He tried to convince Liza a lot, but to no avail.
After getting tired of explaining Liza, Ben said,"Ok, I wanna see those results where it is proved that the fingerprints are mine." Liza immediately said,"No no, Mr.Ben you can't see anything. We will see it ourselves in the court. Now, I am calling the police to arrest you."
Ben tried to see the results, but his love wouldn't allow him to see that sheet of paper, where it was written that Ben's fingerprints are found on the knife that killed Lewis. After some 25-30 minutes the police came. Ben Stokes was arrested. Liza said,"Game over Mr.Ben Stokes." Ben saw Liza. He was amazed by the way Liza was talking.
He said,"I will prove that I am innocent. The day, I will prove that, our relationship will be over." Liza said,"Relationship? Seriously. You really think that I love you?" Ben said,"I heard you saying that to yourself." Liza blushed for a moment. But she said,"Yeah so I love you. But I have to tell you that you have lost all your respect and fame in the eyes of Paris and me. So I am not at all intrested in you. In fact, I feel ashamed of my choice."
Ben was hurt but he said,"I will prove you wrong one day. You will regret on your decision." Ben's words were fallen to deaf ears. Liza asked the police forces to take Ben. The police forces did that only after checking the results and the incidents that led to Ben's arrest which were the call incident and the letter incident. After getting ensured the policemen took Ben to the jail. Liza waved at Ben smiling. Ben was weeping. He said to himself,"God will bring justice one day I know. No bad can happen to the good." Ben was taken.
Liza said thanks to John and went to her office immediately to tell the news to everyone. She reached her office and told the news to everyone. The boss and all the other detectives were shocked to the core. All saw the results. They were extremely shocked. The boss said,"You have done a commendable job, Liza Coddwell. I am promoting you to a sergeant here at the office. From now on, you are sergeant Liza Coddwell. Hearty congratulations." Everyone started clapping. Liza blushed.
Liza had some gala time after all the attention she got from everyone at the office. Then, the blonde girl went to Lewis's mansion to tell everyone about Ben.
At the mansion.
"Wow, now that's called a great news. Finally, this case is over. At last! Now I can finally fly home to Australia. Great work Liza. Hats off. These type of cases, where the detective himself is the killer, are quite a heck to solve. But still, you have done a commendable job." Scarlett said with a big smile.
Liza replied,"Oh yeah, it's just that I am so great. You know, I am so smart and pretty." Liza said praising herself. Elisha couldn't resist herself from a fake laugh. She said sarcastically,"Well, yeah you are so pretty. I am gonna die because you are so beautiful. Blablabla..."
Liza said,"Look, you sluty bitch. Let end this on a good and healthy note. Come one let's be friends. Forget all that bitterly relationship between us." Elisha said,"Ok. Let's end all this." Both the blondes hugged each other.
Liza said,"Well, I am pretty sad to say that you guyz still have to wait here because first of all, you have to complete all the formalities and secondly, when Ben will be in the court, you all have to stand as witnesses. Please co-operate. Till then, roam Paris, the dream city. Take a round. Go on trips and enjoy ur life."
Everyone agreed and hugged each other. Liza smiled and went.
She reached home and felt a sigh of relief. She said looking up,"Saw Lewis. I caught ur killer. I promised you right? See, I fulfilled your promise. Now, I hope your soul rests in peace."
Liza was very happy. She felt an inner satisfaction. When she was about to go to bed, she got a call.
"Thanks for sending me behind the bars, you beautiful girl." The voice said on the phone. Liza got up. "What the f***. No phone is allowed inside the jail." Liza said to herself.
She asked to herself,"Who the hell is this then?"
