Chapter 4

I was so happy I didn't know how to feel that night I kept on thinking on how I will solve the case with my crew. Joy filled my heart so much I couldn't contain the happiness I quickly hugged my father and I thanked him so much for all the support he had given me he said nothing he looked at me smiled and went inside to sleep.

The next day we both went to our offices and my father quickly wrote a letter to the government he stated that the case of a serial murder which occurred exactly 21 years ago and another serial murder which occurred exactly 10 years ago should be reopened immediately so as to avoid reoccurrence. The government quickly called Mr Benson to ask him why he suddenly remembered and reopened the case Mr Benson told them that the case was too brutal and sad and the person who was involved in the serial murder was not brought to book and those that died due to that event was not given Justice the police were not able to solve such a case although he looked two twisted but he believed that with the help of the current detective the case will be solved it may take a long time but it will be solved for sure.

As the meeting was conducted journalists and interviewers were outside waiting for Mr Benson to come out from the meeting Hall while they were waiting, they saw me coming out from a car to wait for Mr Benson they quickly rushed me and began good afternoon Mr John Knoxville, Detective sir can we ask you few questions yes you can go on I said looking at them while I was on sunglasses sir we heard that the case of the serial murder have been reopened sir please can you throw more lights on the matter yes it have been reopened or let me say it's going to be decided if it should be reopened or not by the government but hopefully we are expecting it to be reopened because that incident was a very terrible one and we pray that the government find it very important for it to be reopened thank you. They tried rushing me again to ask me a few questions but I quickly entered inside my car.

While I was talking I knew that the serial killer if he was alive would surely see this on the television but I didn't care I wanted him to see that I was ready to find him. a

A few minutes later Mr Benson came out from the meeting Hall smiling the journalist rushed him and said good afternoon sir please sir how was the meeting was the result of the meeting positive sir he smiled and said of course it was positive the case have been formally reopened and believe me the serial killer will be brought to book and justice will prevail his words sent a cold shiver to the serial killer wherever he was. He wondered why a case that occurred years ago would be brought back for investigation he was so angry and he didn't know what to do all he knew was that he had to hide to cover his dirty secrets.

I knew very well that investigation will have to start and you want to waste more time I didn't want to continue talking I just wanted to start taking action but before I had to do anything I have to seek advice from my father I came to him and I asked father thank you so much for convincing the federal government to reopen this case you have done a lot from me I must say he looked at me and smiled and said I want you to be with your head in this whatever you are doing do not rush into anything become an involve your crew in this remember a tree can never make your Forest you need people by your side to help you solve this case. Remember cases of serial murder are one of the most twisted cases of all time so please always be with your crew. if the police at that time couldn't solve this case you should know that the case is so twisted and curled up together and that is why I said you should be with your head in whatever you are doing. I looked at my father and all I saw was wisdom all I heard were words of wisdom. I thanked him and began to think on how I will start up my investigation.

I went to the office the next day and I told my crew about the recent development I told them that investigation will start tomorrow but I knew very well that I will start investigating today all by myself.i wanted this case to get started and wrapped up once and for all.

So around 12:00 I left the office and I went to the Mr Johnson magazine company . When I reached there the receptionist told me that Mr Jeremy was not around.She told me to book an appointment with him so I did without hesitation.My appointment with him was by 5:00 pm in the evening so I left.I was sure that he would be told that an appointment have been booked with a man later that evening .I went back to the office and I called my dad and told him.

Around 4:45 pm I left the office.I rushed down to the magazine company and began to wait.By 5:00 I was called to go upstairs.I used the elevator instead of the staircase.When I reached the 5th floor of the building.His secretary let me in and brought me to a middle aged ,wrinkled, unhappy man.

When I saw him ,I couldn't even recognise him anymore.I stared at him for some while and then I came back to my senses .I then pulled out my identity card and showed it then it was clear to him that I was a detective.He offered me a sit and asked my why I was here .I told him that I was here because of the death of his family members.I told him that the investigation of that have been reopened fully.Mr Jeremy gave a deep smile that filled with sadness.He said "So finally that case have been remembered.That murder ruined my life .I have been living a lonely life ever since I lost my family members.I thought that the city has forgotten the case but thank God someone have decided to give my family members justice".He said with pain .I saw the pain in his eyes ,I wished I could show myself to him so that he won't feel lonely anymore but I couldn't because the killer is still out there looking for me to end me so I had to be disguised to give my uncle the justice he deserved.

He continued "That killer made my niece to run away .I announced her disappearance to the press so that she could be found but there was no trace of her maybe she is dead now and I am the only one alive here now"I said with tears in his eyes she was my favourite niece and I was her favorite uncle and now maybe she's dead and there was nothing I could do to save her from the evil clutches of death. I looked at him and I almost cried I had to hold my feelings so that he won't ask why I was crying so I said to him uncle Jeremy from today I'm the son you never had from today I'm the Nephew you never had from today I'm the brother you never wished to loose . My words touched him so passionately that he stood up and hugged me and said thank you I'll have to show you my house then you can visit anytime you want just to keep me company thank you so much sir I said happily before I left he looked at me and kept his hands on my shoulders John Knoxville promise me one thing and I was like what is that sir promise me that you find the serial killer you find the man who took my happiness from me you find the man who took my whole family from me and still wants my head if I'm with Sarah promise me that you will get justice for me I look at him and I placed my hand on my chest and I said with me sir justice will be served to you I promise you that I will make sure I find him I'll make sure I track him down and I will make sure that he will be dealt with by the law. As soon as I said this he smiled and thanked me again and then he also wanted to drop me off but I said that won't be necessary because I had to go and visit my father.
