Icecream by the swings

Inspector Anthi left from the trailer of the Georgiou family and crossed the main road to the driveway right across the street. On the right, there was Ms Nikolaou trailer, surrounded by a yellow tape that wrote do not cross. The second plot, which was by the sea was empty. On the left, she had the two jewels saved for last. At the side of the road, there was Mr Eythimiadis trailer, with two children that could save or destroy the alibi the kids had, with the mother, who had probably much to tell. On the side of the beach, there was little Jim. The big boys could have had easily chatted, but there was no easy way for Jim to be informed.

She chose to go to miss Georgiou first, she reached them, greeted the family and then asked to speak to the boys. Same story again. She then thanked them and reached the mother.

"Miss Eythimiadi, I would like you to meet me in an hour at the entrance, where the investigation headquarters is, are we okay about it?" "Why me?" the lady asked, mostly out of curiosity. "You'll see there" she gave her a firm look and left. She knocked little Jim's door and after a minute a young boy, looking at least 2 years younger than the other two opened the door. "Can I help you?" the boy asked. "Are you Dimitris Anastasiadis?" the inspector asked, reading his name out of the list. "Yes," Jim answered. "Then I suppose I could ask you some quick questions"

The inspector took a quick look at the house before she was offered a seat. It looked pretty organised and cleaned, for a young boy staying alone for a week now. "How long will your parents miss?" "It was scheduled for a week, but they called today and they extended the period for another five days" "So you're staying alone?" "Not exactly. I have ms and Mr Eythimiadis next door. You know Mr Anestis is my godfather, our fathers have great relations, they know each other since the army." "What was your relationship with ms Nikolaou" "distant I can say. Both mine and my parent's. We were just neighbours, that was it"

Inspector Anthi wrote something down and continued. "One last thing" "Where were you last night?" Jim made a small pause before he started talking, which felt like ages. "I was outside of the camping, at a beach nearby with my friends and many outsiders" "your friends I assume are George and Lukas, who live next door" "Correct" Her conversation with Jim was over. She left as she came, now pretty much sure that the kids were outside of this. She had to make ms Eythimiadi talk. She might be the missing part of the puzzle and Anthi had a feeling that she was.

She walked back to the gate of the camping. The chief was waiting for her. "I brought Helen again madam" "Thank you, but I need to speak to someone else first," she said as she was passing police cars and tents, heading to the hut. The gate had become the headquarters of the investigation, with people coming in and out. "The girl is asleep on the couch madam, we have given her a powerful hypnotic, she won't be awake, even if a meteor falls right next to her" "What did the coroner say about the body?" the inspector asked. "He is still in the white tent investigating it, there's something weird, however..." the chief said. "We couldn't find the weapon, we have searched almost every corner of the camping, tents trailers, everywhere. We suspect that the murderer hid it outside the camping"

"It seems possible, but as I see it no one would have the intention to kill her just like this. The crime was conducted out of hate" "The coroner believes the same. He told me that she was stabbed three times violently. However, there could be something else" "Do you suspect something chief?" Anthi asked as she pulled the chair from her desk and sat down. "If the theory that someone outside the camping conducted the crime then it will be a criminal named Yacob Aclimovic" The inspector raised her eyebrows, eager to learn more. "He is a Serbian thief. Five years ago he invaded a house and stabbed the maid in the leg to escape, he was later found and imprisoned in the Kassandra Prisons, less than 20 kilometres from here"

"Do you believe that he could be the one who killed her?" "He might have found this as a hiding spot, saw the building with lights and thought that by this time nobody would be showering. He saw ms Nikolaou and threw her on the ground to leave as he came. Then she started screaming, as Helen over there heard, so he stabbed her with a knife in the chest in order to remain hidden. He then took the weapon and vanished in the shadows, as he came." Inspector Anthi was still disappointed with this theory. "Something doesn't stick..." she finally said. "What is this madam?" The chief asked. "I don't know, but I'm sure I'll find what"
