Lies - Zodiac

THREE

Sagittarius↑

----------------------------------

'It turns out that Cancer was murdered about two days before her body was found. The stab wounds were inflicted around the 10th, and the one that hit her heart, right in the middle by the way, was the fatal wound.' Sagittarius read out the results of the autopsy to her colleagues. 

'Why did they keep her alive for three days?' Virgo wondered aloud, 'maybe they wanted to use her for something..'

Pisces and Sagittarius looked at each other before looking at Virgo weirdly.

'Oh no, I didn't mean anything rapey, but maybe they wanted to use her against Aquarius. I mean think about it, Aquarius is going to be a major suspect especially because he found her body. And may I remind you about the high heel prints? They were fresh, just like the male footprints which must've been Aquarius' footprints.' Virgo said.

'I don't think we should instantly point fingers at Aquarius, do you know how devastated he was?' Sagittarius said skeptically, 'I mean she was his wife. Although I do think it's weird that there were high heels prints, and the flattened flowers which was either a fat person or two people lying down on the flowers.'

'Sagittarius is right. I think we need to bring in Aquarius for questioning.' Pisces nodded.

'What do you mean? I'm innocent!' Aquarius said, in his french accent. Sagittarius stared beadily at him.

'I'm innocent totally doesn't sound suspicious at all,' Virgo said, forcing Aquarius into a chair in the interrogation room.

'Get out Sagittarius,' Pisces pushed Sagittarius out the room.

'Remember good and bad cop?' Pisces whispered. Virgo was the bad cop and Pisces was the good cop.

'Fine, at least I get to use the speaker then,' Sagittarius huffed as she went to the room outside.

'Okay, Aquarius, tell us about your early life,' Pisces said, leaning back in his chair.

'Um, okay,' Aquarius said a little surprised at first, 'well.. I was born in France and I lived there until I was 13 -'

'What do you mean? Your parents never left the country for 13 years or longer.' Virgo said smugly, having already researched about Aquarius' parents.

'Ever heard of boarding school?' Aquarius said sassily and Virgo put his hands up.

'So when I was 14 I moved here, and my parents taught me how to own the business and stuff,' Aquarius shrugged.

'So you're now 26. How did you meet your first wife Gemini?' Pisces asked.

'In school, we were a couple in my last year of school and when I was 20 and she was 19, we got married,' Aquarius explained.

'When and why did you and Gemini's marriage fail?' Virgo asked bluntly, taking down notes.

Aquarius scratched his neck nervously. He wasn't exactly sure whether they were allowed to ask such personal questions.

'We broke up when I was 23. We just.. didn't get along as we first did. She had a miscarriage and we started arguing nearly everyday and we couldn't even be in the same room without wanting to hit each other,' Aquarius admitted.

'Did you ever hit it her?' Pisces asked.

'No, of course not. Gemini probably would've hit me 100 times harder anyway,' Aquarius said.

'Okay.. so how did you meet Cancer?' Pisces continued jotting down notes.

'She actually worked for me as a housemaid and as a personal assistant,' Aquarius said, 'and after Gemini had left, we became friends and we got closer.'
