UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5

Police rushed to the crime scene when they received a call from Pristine's father. They check the cold body of Klyde and started to interrogate his friends.

"What are you doing during the incident? " police asked.

"We're just passing the bottle of champagne, after a minute Klyde drank he suddenly winced in pain." Kiah stated.

"Yeah we're shock when Klyde suddenly fell on his chair. It was all because of the drink that Mr. Hendrix gave us." Pristine added.

The police reassured them that they will find the culprit instantly. FBI also came to help solve the case. They started to investigate all over the places. Searching if there's a clue  left behind.

After an hour of investigation, they found out something. “We examine the wine on Galvin glass but there is no poison in it , ” the Chief of Police said.

“Chief! We found a Batrachotoxin on the victim’s car and it was the exact poison used,” the police added.

The police concluded that it was a suicide but they don’t have any concrete evidence to prove it so they decided to watch the CCTV footage.

The police smirk because they finally figure it out. “We now distinguish who is behind this curtains and it was you Kiah Wilson.” The police said confidently while pointing his finger on Kiah.

Everyone gets flabbergasts and turn their heads to Kiah as she yell, “What a flash conclusion you have there sir. I’m not the killer and I’m sure of it. You can ask me a series of questions if you want. And where's the proof that I'm the killer? ”

Pristine eye rolled at Kiah and you can see the ire on her face. The police show the CCTV footage and pointed out Kiah who opened Klyde’s car. Luther gets shock as he watch the footage and you can see the skepticism on his eyes.

"How could you do that to Klyde? How could you do that to your own boyfriend?" Pristine thundered while clenching her fist.

Kiah denies the accusation and said confidently while showing up her phone, “Klyde texted me to get this necklace on his car that’s why I went outside. I didn’t put any poison on his car and also I didn’t kill him.”

Galvin's  blood boil  because he believes that Kiah was mendacious so he shouted out of his angriness and you can witness a tension from his neck chord standing out, “If it was you Kiah, just stop and tell us the truth.”
     

 On the other hand, Luther isn’t convinced and still continues to investigate. There is something wrong, I need to solve this quickly, he said to himself.

I need to solve this puzzle quickly and calmly. I just need to visualise what happened when Klyde drank his champagne, he though while resting his chin on his hand.

Luther close his eyes and constant stream of rhythmic memories flashing on his mind as he was just solving a puzzle.

"bingo" he muttered while opening his eyes.

Puzzle is already solve. Luther decided to step on stage. He released a deep breath then instantly grab the microphone. “Kiah isn’t the one who did this.”  he   stated  confidently catching everyone’s attention. They all look at him and Pristine vociferate that the case was already close and stop covering the evil doings of Kiah  but he still continues, “It wasn’t her, can you all look at the time on the CCTV footage it stops after Kiah went to Klyde’s car, right? It was 9:15 pm when Kiah went outside but the time froze and continues to 9:30 pm kind like suspicious isn’t it? According to the police the champagne doesn’t have any poison because Mr. Hendrix gave it to us unopened so it's impossible to put poison in it. Galvin secretly didn’t trust Mr. Hendrix so he smelled and looked at the drink if there is a poison and that’s the reason why he held it too long. So the only suspect is Pristine Gomez."

Everyone’s jaw dropped and their eyes filled with disbelief. “What are you talking about Luther? I'm badly in love on him, how could i kill him? It's just like killing my own self and do you have any evidences to prove that?” Pristine shouted while furrowing her brows.

“Of course I have! Why would I go up here if I don’t have any proof? There is no poison on the drink, right? Because the poison is in the glass itself! Have you ever wonder  why would Pristine Gomez herself would get the glass for us? This is a Grand Celebration so butler, waiters and maid supposed to be the one who would  do that. She told them to skip our table so her plan would succeed. And it turns out exactly as her plan. She distributed the glasses to us one by one so she can sure that she'll give the glass covered with colorless poison to Klyde. No wonder why it took you so long in the kitchen because you went outside and put Batrachotoxin on his car and  also where are your gloves now?” he sardonically asked.

Pristine raise and show her left hand glove and smile in a smug manner.

“And where is the right hand glove? It was yours, isn’t it?" While raising Pristine’s wet glove.

He continue," You planned to spill the poison on Klyde's car so it will look like Klyde really drank it but you accidentally spill it on your gloves and you make an alibi that you feel uncomfortable wearing it. Also you went outside around 9:20 and you stop the time to shroud your wrong doings. Moreover,  you planned to hold the wine carelessly so that the wine will spill on the floor and you can instantly clean it to cover up the biggest evidence but you failed because you forgot that Galvin have his champagne on his glass.,” Luther spoke confidently while fixing his neck tie.

Angry frown crease on Pristine forehead. "LIES." she belted.
