AKEMI-TANTEI HIGH

Chapter Fourty Six

"Mr. Jonathan Melandrino, gaano katagal mo nang kilala ang murdered victim na si Ms. Melody Garcia?"

"I've known her for eight years.."

"Eight years? But based on the reports, She has been working on your company for seven years.. Do you know each other already before she worked on you as your personal secretary?"

"Yes. We've met one year ago before I asked her to join me on my job. And.. I also wanted to be with her in every posible way.."

Saka ito yumuko.. I can sense the sincerity through his eyes..

"Is it true Mr. Melandrino that you and And Ms. Garcia are in a relationship before she died?"

"Yes."
Saka ulit ito tumingin sa akin.

"Do you have any idea of who might have the guts to do such crime?"

"I honestly don't know someone whose capable of doing this to her.. I knew her as a nice person.. She was sweet and lovely.. I never imagine her to end up like this.."

At hindi nakatakas sa mga mata ko ang mga luhang kanina niya pa pinipigil.
Sa puntong ito ay tahimik kaming lahat.. Para bang ramdam naming anim ang pighati na pinagdadaanan ng lalaking ito.

"I was planning to marry her.. But suddenly she asked for split up.. I asked her what would be her reason, and she just told me that she wants freedom.. Tinanong ko siya kung nasasakal na ba siya sa akin..She didn't responce.. I can still feel that she loved me so much the last time we talked.. Pero hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit siya nakikipaghiwalay.. "

"May napagtalunan ba kayo ni Ms. Garcia noon na maaring maging dahilan ng pakikipaghiwalay niya?"

"Wala akong matandaan na napagtalunan namin na seryoso.. We've been through a lot of quarrels, but just the common for couples.. But something na maguugat para maghiwalay kami, wala akong matandaan."

Kung nagsasabi ng totoo ang lalaking ito, maaring may foul play na nangyayari dito.. Maaaring iniwan ang bangkay ng biktima sa building na ito para dito matuon ang imbestigasyon. Upang maligaw ang awtoridad..

"Akemi, are you alright? Kanina mo pa tinititigan ang picture ni Ms. Garcia.."

"I'm fine Ken.. Pinagiisipan ko lang yung statement nung dalawang nakausap natin.."

"What about them?"

"Parang masyadong malinis yung statement nilang dalawa.."

"But I'm sure you felt the sincerity on the guy's presense right?"

"Yeah.. But I don't really know why I felt like I'm missing something.."

"You're right Akemi.. We are missing something on this case.. And we have to find out this one."- Akane

"Guys! May nakita kaming posible lead sa kaso! Take a look at this!"- Reiji

At nang makalapit kami ay pin-lay niya ang isang cctv footage..
The day that Ms. Garcia went missing.

Ito ay nakuha sa Rodriguez avenue. Ikatlong kanto mula sa Melandrino building.
Naglalakad si Ms. Garcia at may kausap ito sa phone.

Around 10:34pm

Bigla itong huminto at tila may hinihintay. Panay din ang tingin nito sa relo niya sa kaliwang kamay.

Ilang minuto lang ay may dumating na itim na sasakyan.

Sumakay si Ms. Garcia dito..
