Chapter two:
The evening of the following day,being 29th of September 2020, almost the whole town of St-luca has heard about the beautiful skeletons and the the town was in uproar.
Which was to be considered a wonderful and expected reactions, as nothing as significant and weird or thrilling as this has ever happened in the town of St-luca. In fact it could be said that St-luca town was very peaceful and could pass as boring as the only significant news or event that has ever happened in St Luca, was the love triangle story, involving the town pastor.
And the media people were so happy about this news, and they even added more spice and salt to make the story a little eye catching and more interesting. And now the people where both intrigued and afraid as they all wondered if the killer will strike again or who the victims were.
But Mr Ike was among the very few who didn't give a shit and cared little of the news as the only interested he had was his law firm and money making, and that was why he never thought of his safety as he opened the door to his apartment, walked in, closed the door and flung his briefcase which he returned home which fortunately landed safely on the right cushion in the sitting room of his luxirous apartment.
He was very tired and at the same time stressed as he walked to his Mino bar, brought out a bottle of whiskey and a glass and proceeded to puring himself a drink, before sitting in the bar chair while slowly sipping from his glass as he thought about the letter he had received earlier on and the roses that came with it.
After finishing his glass of whiskey he stood and shook his head while thinking about how people do not have anything else to do these days than send creepy letters and creepy flowers too. He was definitely pissed off and he didn't appreciate such pranks.
Even though he didn't put more thought to it but he still felt annoyed beyond words, as he had received those letters and Roses a couple of times now, almost every day.He took his briefcase, walked to his room, undressed, took his bath, wore his pyjamas before climbing into his bed, but stopped as he had noises coming from the opposite room. He got up grumbling as he went to check out the source for the noise but not before taking his gun with him which he usually kept under his pillow.
As he got to the door of the opposite room, he leaned his ears to the the door and he could here the sounds of some hard core rap song playing inside the room,he held his gun tighter and firmer in his hands, he has now confirmed that he has an I intruder in his house and it couldn't be his housekeepers she was a religious person.
He slowly opened the door, making sure not to make a sound as he creeped inside the room. But as he got inside the room the light was turned on and there was a person sitting right in front of him and starting at him.He took a breath of relief before turning to scold the person sitting in the room and just staring at him.“ what are you doing here so late at night you nearly gave me a heart attack ” he scolded but the other party gave a big and melodious laugh before saying; “ didn't you receive the letter and the flowers that I sent, now it's time”
In the morning of the following day, Mrs Ngozi oteofe who was the housekeeper at the house which Mr Ike lived in, entered the apartment and started doing her regular job not bothering to check on Mr Ike as he always left home before her arrival.
As she Cleaned up the house, she became thirsty and went to the fridge to get a bottle of water to drink but as she opened the fridge she was presented with big jars of red liquid and a small box wrapped as a present and nothing else. She Closed the fridge and decided to get water from the master's bedroom as there was a mini fridge inside the room. but She got there, she noticed that's the opposite room was open and that black roses resprayed from the master's bedroom to the opposites guest room, so she decided to Lock the door before doing any other thing, but as she got in what she saw made her scream very loudly.
25 minutes later, and the house was restricted as police and detectives flooded the house taking pictures of everything in the house. One of The Detectives was taking the statement from the housekeeper. And The beautiful Detective with classy boots walked in and she was directed to the room upstairs where pictures we're taken of a skeleton in Pyjamas lying in a bed of black roses.
The coroner named bisi stood up to meet the detective who just walked in and was smiling. “hey dear detective” she said smiling at her always frowning friend. “what are we looking at? Another old skeleton without origin?” the detective asked ignoring the eager friend who continued smiling. “well for a start this skeleton is not old and also has an origin. The skeleton belongs to the well-known lawyer mr ike”bisi smiled again as if she was a child who was presented with a big candy and she was asked to make a statement.
“you mean lawyer ike, the lawyer for the rich and famous that mr ike" the detective asked to make sure she wasn't hearing things.
“yep that's him, and based on the withering of the bones he has been dead awesome couple of hours now” she said looking at the detective for reactions.
“if he died a few hours ago how come he is already in this state ?” the detective asked again trying to believe it was a joke or that corona made a mistake in her analysis. “I don't know yet detective that's the fact” the Colonial replied.“homicide?”
“definitely, possible cause of death the drainage of blood” corona said looking at the skeleton weirdly as if she was talking with it.
“how did you come up with such conclusions?” the detective asked.
“well CSI swept the room and in affirmation to the house keepers statement, they found jars of blood in the fridge and a heart packed up in a gift box, DNA results matches both to the victim." bisi shoked her head while biting her lower lips as she thought of various means to solve this very big and rare puzzle.🙏🏾🙏🏾 Don't forget to vote and comments
