Detective Byers leaned with his hands on the table. He studied the evidences346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QcAQPu0UF
from the murder of Ben Miller. Assistant Detective Chloe cleared her throat346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8XNc9XA91
before she started speaking in order to attain Det.Byers attention.
“Ben Miller” she said picking up the shots of the crime scene from the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkGH1R4NjZ
table, “The victim was found with a knife in his chest on Sunday afternoon at346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47eW6KNmma
twelve.” she examined the photos then looked up at detective Byers, “On346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2GKPgouD
Saturday Ben miller left for work at 8am, at 6pm he went to have drinks with346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfvxVIPCXo
his work colleagues.” she said while pointing at the screen playing the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbNjmPGcZ3
footages. “as you can see Ben went straight to his home at 9pm, he was home alone346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORuBaYx2y
and no one left or entered the house.”
Detective Byers focused on the screen, “there is no sign of the killer.” He346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGz9eWfgvU
mumbled.
Chloe gazed at Detective Byers, “Soon after the body was found, it was sent346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSeffknheN
for inspection. We came to know that there were fifty-seven stabbing points in346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1pxmBm5bI
the victims chest.” She said tapping her finger on the photographs. Detective346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3HGUGBL1
Byers took the snapshots and briefly scanned them.
“but almost two hours ago they sent a346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4DEbuYoSV
file from the observatory saying that the stabs in the body were with two346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCgIHO6bHH
different weapons. One was found on the body and…”
“And the other weapon was not346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzYP2acJt6
found.” he said completing her sentence, “do you remember Stephan Cages case?”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSjnHwVom
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 how346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRKRaM5SUT
do they look alike?”
He ignored her question and said, “His daughter” he rubbed his forehead, “What346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtlmcKgB08
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 straightened346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjgkamE7Y
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 her346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6qKqCTtV
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 winter346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSXQRIA5F2
breeze on her face, she thought about the conversation between her and mike at346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnOpWt86Ae
the café. She knew she can’t do it, knew she can’t risk losing a near and dear one346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUCQfHUkwh
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.”346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJLbJM8Eam
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 meet346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AfoYbvmVn
you regarding the slayer of your father, according to him he thinks you could346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6GWgEkc9E
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 the346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuiTnLlsPA
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 believe346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7br2C8woN
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 it346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfW7ivHfIj
be the same killer?” she asked anxiously.
Mike glanced at her, “Can be” he said.
