Rain started pouring on the windows outside, giving off sounds of soft clapping.
The red curtains were held to the sides by ropes of silk gold. The napkins along the long table seem almost drooping. The tense atmosphere of the hall could make anyone break cold sweat. But not Daniel.
The second suspect was a frail old woman. "She claims to be the victim's mother" fills in Dexter. Daniel observed her relaxed posture. Her worried yet emotionless expression. Her soft character. "He was a good boy." She said suddenly. Daniel kept silent." He would buy me gifts everytime... I wish i could have pampered him more..." Dexter looked back at his notes. 'Same, old, mom line..'
Daniel finally spoke." Where were you at time of crime?"
The old lady squinted. "Time of what?"
'hearing issues of some sort.' Daniel thought.
"Crime." says Dexter, a little worried about how long this would take.
"I was reading in my room."
She hobbled over to the table a length away.
"This book is pretty good if i say so myself." She smiled.
"Are you really his mother? Why do you act so relaxed when your son was just murdered?"
The lady looked up slightly at them through slits,her metal-rimmed glasses drooped slightly, gleaming a silver-white."Isn't it better that he went up to see Jesus early?"
She said it in a half-smile.
________________________________________________________________________
Dexter's face shot white and he quickly dusted up his his pants and started on the next suspect. "HI HOW ARE YOU." Dexter couldn't help but to feel paranoid about the empty hallway on their left.
Daniel continued his conversation with the lady, relatively unfazed.
"You're Christian?" Daniel asked.
"Indeed." she answered.
Daniel continued. "Are you in good terms with your son? How long have you been living in this house with your son? Did anyone else use to live here too?"
The women replied, back to her almost expressionless feature. "We have been growing apart lately. He seemed quite busy with work most of the times so he didn't really get to spend alot of time with his family." "I've been living in this house for about 7 months now. I shifted out of my old apartment as my husband has passed away and my son feared i would be lonely. His wife used to live here too before they divorced because he could not find time to be with her. So many things happened and he couldn't take them in. Maybe that's why he killed himself."
Daniel thought about it again.
"It isn't suicide. He was hit with a pipe and also sustained a knife wound. he couldn't have done both as the first would have already killed him..."
A thought came across Daniel's mind.
'Maybe he didn't die from the knife. perhaps he finished himself with the pipe?
Daniel got off his seat and dashed back to the crime scene. And just as he predicted.The proof it was staged murder.
How did he miss it?
The blow on the head was on the right side of his head, facing the wall. There isn't enough space to swing the pipe to hit that angle and with that power.
If he hit from the top, the pipe would slide off the side of his head as he brought it down and the injury would be at a different position. The impact of the blow also wouldn't be enough. Even if he leant left using his left hand, the injury would be around the front side of the head, not the side. The pipe would also have dropped at the back.
Daniel started to laugh.
This killer-
'How could he not known?'
Daniel laughed even louder as he circled the toilet.
How could someone that slashed himself in the gut manage to bring up a pipe over his head and back onto himself with enough force to create such a wound? Who would keep the knife in his hand as he did so? Daniel's mind started filling with mean thoughts.
'WHAT AN IDIOT! I SHOULD LAUGH AT HIM AS HE IS BEING ESCORTED OUT! Which retard killed this man with such a dumb plan...'
Dexter entered the room behind Daniel. "Hey, come on. I'll fill u in with the rest."
Daniel shook his head. "I already know who did it."
Dexter smirked."About time."
