"What, no..how can he stop breathing? " Nestlé asked with a face that depicted tremendous amount of tension. The man replied,"No, he hasn't stopped breathing, but is about to. I don't know how. He wants to tell something. Please hurry up." All the 3 detectives hurried towards Jones.
They reached Jones's room. On the floor, there was Jones, who was fighting for every single breath. He was making weird noises while breathing heavily. The 3 detectives sat down near Jones, and Johnson asked,"Jones, buddy, what's happening to you?"
Jones couldn't speak anything in his real voice. But, he tried his best. "I..m..dyi..dying".
Nestlé asked?"But, you were perfect till now, suddenly what happened?" Jones was silent for a moment. Ben thought he was dead. But, then, Jones started mummering,"I do..don't know..I.." and silence again.
Ben said,"Brother, focus on your breathing and then say. What do you want to say? What's happening?" Jones was about to say something, when his head touched the floor, and he closed his grey eyes. Silence!!!
Nestlé said,"Oh god no! Jones wake up. Please..For God's sake brother."
Jones opened his eyes. Heavy breathing continued. Miracle!!
Nestlé said,"Look Jones. If you can tell us, why you were here, then, you would be helping us to solve this case. Please, tell us. If you have to go, then please help us and go, otherwise..This case will take months to solve."
Jones looked into Nestlé's eyes. He asked for sympathy. He said in his crack voice,"I ..I.." Johnson repeated Jones's words,"I.." and asked for the future words. Jones said,"I..am..no..n..not the ki..killer."
Nestlé and Ben smile in unison. Ben asked,"Then who is? Please tell us. Save us before you go." Jones said,"The kille...killer is..is.."
And eyes closed...Silence again!!
"Jones, Jones!!" Nestlé screamed to the top of her voice." This time silence remained. Johnson took his fingers and kept them near Jones's nostrils.
No breathing!! Breathless!
This indicated that Jones passed away. Nestlé opened her mouth in disguise. She was in utter shock. Her hands were covering her mouth. Johnson and Ben were very disappointed. They got depressed to the core.
Again the case was so close to be solved. But, yet again, so close...yet so far!!
The agents were called and Jones's body was taken for autopsy. Nestlé still couldn't absorb the death. For her, everything was way too quick. Liza's kidnapping and Jones's death on the same day. Ben and Johnson were men. So for them, this was bearable. Jones's death was quite a mystery.
Johnson himself was investigating Jones's case now. He went with the body to the lab for autopsy. Ben went to Lewis's mansion to inform Jason about his brother's death. Nestlé decided to check up on the cctv camera of Jones's jail room, to ensure that nobody gave Jones something to eat which caused his death.
Nestlé went to the cctv footage room. She opened up the camera of Jones's room. The blonde searched for details. She saw every minute of Jones's stay. She was viewing the footage of the previous day. Until the previous day, the man was all fine.
Suddenly, Nestlé saw some fluctuations and unclear motions in the footage. The screen was fluctuating. And then, in a while screen went off. Nestlé was shocked. "Something's wrong." She exclaimed. The screen remained black till 10 minutes and then, started showing clear scenes again.
Nestlé was amazed and dismayed. "Why was the screen turned off for 10 minutes and then switched on again after 10 minutes? Jones is looking all fine." Nestlé said pointing towards Jones's video. "I think that someone gave him some thing to eat while the screen was off. That's the only possible explanation for this mysterious death."
Nestlé asked the people working in that room to check up on the camera and tell her the result. The men there, agreed and started their work.
The place where Liza is kept.
"Cool. That purely means that we are still way ahead of the cops and all the dumbass detectives." The killer said in his heavy voice. Then he continued,"Well, update me later." The call was cut off.
Liza was entirely energyless. She was looking pale. Her face drenched.
The killer went towards her and said,"Congratulations! It's time for party. Jones is dead and I am alive. Isn't that the best news on earth?"
Liza didn't say anything. She was mentally sad. Now, she was repenting on her decision to keep Jones in her office jail. She asked Jones for forgiveness, mentally.
The killer turned on the music to loud volume and the 2 men joined him in a group samba dance.
Party time!!
Johnson worked on the body. It took him 2 hours to complete the autopsy results. He was indeed shocked to learn the results himself. He worked on the results and the latter was ready.
Ben was very tensed to tell everyone at the mansion about Jones. He was guessing some less harsh words to tell Jason. Jason was going to be shaken up. That's sure. But, would he be able to bear the pain for a long time?
Amidst the tension and the disturbed mind, Ben reached Lewis's mansion. All he was praying for, was strength to face Jason.
He knocked the main door.
