Chapter 7

The following day I went to Mr Collins house I saw Mr Fred healthy and strong and I waved at him he smiled and left .I entered into Mr Collins house and I showed the security my ID card they let me in and called Mr Collins who also let me in and gave me a sit immediately.

He asked me why I came and I told him that I came because of the murder that occurred 21 years ago he said and began to cry oh my friend Mr Johnson who died 21 years ago he was murdered in cold blood at night when I heard the news although we were fighting at that time a cold shiver went through my body many people thought I was the one who killed him even when I knew nothing about his death I wished that I could wake him up from the dead .

I looked at him and all I saw was pretence sir you can't continue pretending I am aware that you killed him but I just want to continue this investigation to fulfill all righteousness. Sir the night when Mr Johnson was murdered information reaching me was that your car was not packed in your house one of your cars precisely. you didn't come back that night and you came back to two weeks after his death isn't that strange. Another information reaching me is that when the police investigation began you left the country for a business trip you left the country and you stayed there for 3 months without visiting the US this is a clear indication that you killed Mr Johnson and you were hiding from the police you didn't want the wrath of the law to catch up with you and you thought that you will get away with all your crimes sir I put it to you now that you are lying and you are pretending because the greatest pretenders actually are the best people that can cry.Sir let me tell you one thing the investigation is ongoing and I'm ready to leave no stone unturned in order to find out the serial killer.

So let me tell you this, this information was gotten from a reliable source not from your servants but from a neighbor of yours so please cooperate with us and tell us the truth and face the law and remember if I find out that you are the serial killer you will dealt with seriously so it is better you come out and tell the truth please make our job easier for us. Excuse me detective but I don't know why you came into my house and you're trying to force words into my mouth listen whoever that told you all these things that makes you think that I'm the one who killed Mr Johnson isn't lying but I tell you that when Johnson died I traveled. I traveled for a business meeting in Los Angeles and that's why I said I was shocked when I heard that will Mr Johnson my friend was dead I was shocked so please detective I think you are mistaken .

Well I'll take my leave now but this is not over I'll still becoming around for more questioning thank you and I will be here waiting for you Mr Collins said. uncle Jeremy had promised to show me my father's house so I went to his house quickly and began to wait for him as he was dressing. when he was done he took me to a very massive house it had stayed for years without thorough cleaning and Bush clearing. he told me that he didn't have the keys to enter the house and Miriam was with it before she died he didn't collect it since he didn't need it for anything but the gate were open so he showed me where they were buried but we couldn't enter inside the house. We then came out and left ,people saw us come and go. Later that evening I came in with my crew and we mounted CCTV camera around with recorders so that we would be monitoring whatever that goes on around that area. I told Mr Benson what I had done and he said it was okay and it was the right thing to do. Within me I felt like I was progressing in the investigation but actually I was being stagnant . It was so twisted that I couldn't understand the mystery behind the murder.

The following day I was set to go and visit Mr Collins for more investigations I told Mr Benson that I was going to see him but first I will go to the office . Mr Benson show me goodbye and I left for the office when I reach the office the first person who came to greet me was a girl named Beauty. She was in my department and she had always wanted to work with me. and I was not really a fan of working with girls so that they will not find out my secret identity through trying to date me or become close friends with me.

I look at her and I said beauty how are you doing ? she looked at me and smiled I'm very much okay as far as I've seen your face today to me it sounded disgusting but to a guy it will sound nice in his ear. she noticed my look and wanted to leave she thought I will stop her but I left her I didn't really want any connection with her to avoid my secret identity being exposed.

I quickly left the office with my next in command that was my assistant Joseph we left to go attend to a case that occurred recently in an area when we were done we came back to the office immediately the police were called that a murder had occurred I was shocked and then investigation department was needed to collect samples from the area for investigation to begin we entered into the car as we were giving a location I looked at the location given and I found out that the location was actually Mr Collins Street. I was confused but anyway anyone can die at any time when we reached I saw a gathering people gathered a particular house and people were ordered not to go inside to see the corpse yet till the police and the investigation departments arrives everyone were outside mourning and crying and waiting patiently for the police to arrive so that they all could see the body and pay their last respect to the dead man.

We then entered the house but before then we saw a woman crying it looks like it was his wife and we saw his children too when we entered inside to my greatest surprise the man who was lying lifelessly was Mr Fred I was shocked and surprised I was speechless that even my assistant Joe noticed it he then approached me and said sir what is wrong why are you calm and quiet all of his sudden. I then told him that he was part of my investigation he was the man who was giving me clues concerning the investigation Joseph was speechless too at that time he then looked at me and said well sir I think this is going to help you to know who the serial killer is. as he said that I nodded and agreed with him of course this is a link to the serial murder.

I went outside and I wanted to ask his wife some questions but it wasn't possible because she was not in the right state of mind she was crying profusely and uncontrollably people couldn't control her and coming to ask her some questions concerning her husband's death looks inappropriate so we left after collecting samples for investigation.

When I went back to the office I met Mr Benson my dad and I say to him father the man who was murdered in cold blood was actually part of my investigation he is the man who told me everything I wanted to know about the murder but now he's gone and I think his death is linked to the serial murder. He was stabbed 10 times which indicates him being murdered by the serial killer. Mr Benson looked at me for some while and said I want you to be with your head in this be very clever do not let anyone out smart you. I nodded my head and left.

She left the office for uncle Jeremy's house. He accepted me and served me tea and I collected and thanked him alot and he said it was nothing. I then told him that one of my evidences have been uprooted by the serial killer he was surprised he looked at me and dropped his tea and said "you mean the Mr Fred you told me about his dead how come, this is serious" You really need you to investigate this matter seriously. I know sir I'll try my best investigate the issue to know the roots of the matter.
