Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWYCAx9GHv
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWZUiwMdBS
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixA1Dv5DLl
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWxjCrcRIJ
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc54Ud0eoB
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXKha7kZz
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6HrM8siHl
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcM2onTvFj
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTRSXyC2FW
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtU5ztsBfR
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUPBMJvBIp
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nw2Q9aKEv
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwLIUw7TE
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHenVE7puF
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs58e5YcC57
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy24ZZOOny
he frowned at the screen, “I don’t know why but these cases look alike”
“Yes, we worked on it two years ago.” she said studying the files, “but how278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRl0YbwBfe
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu32UWd4Sq
was her name?”
“Lilly Cage.” she said facing towards him.
“hm…run a background check on her, let’s see what she’s got.” he straightened278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ndSE2GcO
back and left the door open.
“No shit!” she said to herself and heaved a sigh.

Mike stared Lilly for a while and said,
“I really, really need your help this time.” he said as he held her hands.
“Mike, I can’t” she wept, “you know what happened to dad.”
“Whatever happened, it was not your fault” He said wiping away her tears.
There was a long silence, Lilly sat looking at her hands and thinking about her278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR0o44PfhC
father. Mike was on his knees watching her breath slowly.
“I want to go home.” Lilly sniffled softly.
“Hm , I’ll take you home.” he said concernedly.
Lilly rolled down the car window. She closed her eyes and felt the winter278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6tF8oaFMH
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCdToFy4i8
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJzkQpI4Eh
again. Lilly’s phone ranged,
“Hello?” she said into the phone.
“Hi Lilly!” the caller said.
“Chloe?” Lilly said in amazement, “it’s been so long”
“I know right, you me working together, it literally feels like yesterday.”278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKAroHi0rn
Chloe said warmly, “why don’t you think about returning.”
Lilly’s face dropped, “Chloe, let’s not start this topic.”
“Well it doesn’t seem like you have a choice.” Chloe said.
Lilly frowned, “what do you mean?”
“I mean that detective Byers who is here from California, he wants to meet278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y5casbcw9
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fcTdwZUeV
be a little helpful.” She replied.
“Helpful for what?” Lilly asked in confusion.
“You don’t know” Chloe said.
“No?” she said still frowning.
“There’s a murder in town.” Chloe informed.
“What!” she exclaimed.
Lilly hung up on the phone and turned towards mike, she was shocked by the278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K1j2CKEmC
news Chloe gave. Mike stopped the car and faced Lilly.
“What happened?” he asked curiously.
Lilly looked at her phone and then at Mike, “Murder” she said trying to believe278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8MKzdSTT8
what she heard.
Mike peered at her, “What?” he asked.
“There’s a murder.” Lilly responded.
Mike swore under his breath and leaned against the car seat.
“She said that the detective wants to meet me regarding dads slayer. Can it278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv7s0LHGbl
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
