Chapter 13

Who killed them ?

I didn't kill the cook !

This was not something they thought they would hear .....

Everyone had hard time believing it ! They immediately thought David was lying so the tall officer became angry and pointed his gun at David forehead.

"You are going to die , If you don't tell truth!"

David looked at the tall guy without fear and said loudly

"I may have killed few people but I never killed the cook ! Why would I even lie ? It's not like i would get light punishment if I denied the kill ! Since I'm going to get hanged anyway."

That was also true !

Denied or accepting , David will get hanged for sure so why would he not accept if he really killed the cook ? That means David didn't kill him at all or someone else killed the cook !

If David was really telling the truth then someone must have killed the cook ! And there was even George who was poisoned!

Could this two death be done by the same killer ?

If that's the case then someone else killed them but the question is who might be the killer and what's their motive behind doing it?

The tall officer looked the tenants and each of them looked very suspicious to him now.

The clumsy John , the hotel second in charge Marcel , the dumb waiter Tim , The strange guy Austin , The old women and Clara . Even though Austin did helped him , he still was a suspect!

These people all looked suspicious to him and he didn't have any trust on these people .

Who might be the killer ?

As the tall guy was thinking , he suddenly thought of something and asked .

"Did George ate something in this hotel?"

If his guess was right ! George must have eaten food or drink something that's mixed with poison or else why would a grown man will take poision? For suicide?

I don't think George would commit suicide and why would he even do that in front of everyone! So suicide wasn't a option here .

Marcel thought for a moment and said

"He came to back from his regular drinking place ....he did was drunk a little at time !"

The tall officer did a calculation and shook his head !

According to his knowledge , poison would take atleast half an hour before reacting but George was here for two hours so the chances of him getting poisoned in the bar is very slim .

George must have ate or drink something from these hotel ! That's must how he got poisoned and died now ....

The tall officer asked coldly

"Think carefully and answer ! Did George ate or drink in these hotel ?"

Marcel couldn't help but ask in doubt

"Officer you aren't telling us that the food in our hotel has poison in it ?"

Everyone eyes widened and they immediately began to get panic . They also ate their food so wouldn't that mean they would also end up like George?

As if understanding their worries, the tall officer said to them calmly

"Relax , if you are all poisoned then you wouldn't be standing here alive !"

Even though it was very wrong for the officer to say like this but they still liked it since they werent poisoned .

Marcel face was pale , he knew if there was really a poison in the food then the hotel was over for sure ! There would be lot of charges and no one would be spared from deep trouble.

The tall officer narrowed his eyes and said threatnigly

"If any chance that would I found out that you are hiding something from me , then it will be helping the criminal so don't blame me for arresting you too!"

Marcel immediately said everything he knew

"George did ate some foods in the hotel and I personally delivered it myself !"

After saying that he immediately said

"It doesn't mean I poisoned him !"

The tall officer smiled coldly and said

"That will be found out sooner so for now tell me everything.."

Marcel didn't like where this was leading to ....

He felt like he was also becoming a suspect now !

...

Around 8: 45 PM

Ring ! Ring !

A phone was ringing in the hallway but this time it wasn't from the telephone but instead Marcel personal phone .

He frowned and took out the phone to see who was calling him in these night. His family wouldn't call him and he had few friends so they calling him unexpected ....

"George ?"

He answered the call and soon George hard voice was heard .

"Marcel can you deliver my foods to my room ?"

Marcel thought

' You still have the mood to eat when you are these drunk ?'

But he did said he will send it right away ! After cutting off the call , he called Tim but there was no response of him !

"These guys are unbelievable!"

He grumbled and went himself to the kitchen but still he didn't find the cook yet ! This annoyed him further . After few seconds, he came out of the kitchen with food . He took the lift and went to the second floor . He knocked on the door 12 and soon the door was opened .

"Oh Marcel you personally came to deliver the food ?"

George couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Marcel grumbled and said annoyingly

"Don't ask ! These guys are unreliable"

After handing him the food , Marcel began to go outside but he suddenly noticed room no 11 light was on so he couldn't help but lean on the door and listen inside .

It was a bad habit of Marcel ! He has a weird habit of stalking people especially the tenants in these hotel.

After few seconds, he only heard a snoring sound from inside . So he went back while cursing the cook and Tim repeatedly.

....

Back to present,

The tall officer couldn't help but ask

"Did you notice anything weird when you are talking with George?"

Marcel was silent for a moment and shook his head

"I didn't feel any that strange ...but although I felt that someone was else with him at that time !"

Someone face changed while the tall officer asked in surprise

"Who did you see ?"
