"Are you sure about what you just said?"
"Of the one hundred per cent I am sure of 90 per cent and the remaining 10 are the ones I can say I am not sure of"
"What made you so sure?"
"I have two big reasons to be sure about it because even the murderer could not do his calculations as required, that's why there has been a loophole that helped me realise this very easily. The first reason is that the house is very big and it is a house that had protection not only from security guards but also from security equipment like CCTV cameras, now if the killer was far away how was he able to get in easily without hesitation, perform his crimes and manage to leave with a videotape that would make our job easier? It is something that would not be possible. How did he manage to kill and manage to leave with that videotape inside? Remember I told you that we arrived only five minutes after he left and we went in there due to the blood being very fresh, that means that the killer knew the CCTV camera was in the room otherwise he would have started looking for it so we would have found him in there while he was looking for it. He knew where he was starting and where he was ending, that's why he was able to escape very easily after the incident" he paused and looked at Jason who was listening very carefully to his fellow man as he was analyzing things very professionally.
"But the second reason is the execution of the murder itself. I was there when the chief judge's phone was searched to find out who he last spoke to on his phone and he made a live call to his younger brother, which of course was you. the killer started the murder outside, he went to kill the child who was sitting on the couch while watching television, After that, he got in the bedroom and stabbed the chief judge's wife in the stomach and that was the time when the judge was getting inside the bedroom, so when the killer knew that the chief judge had arrived, hid himself in the area where the bodies were found. It is clear that he hid in the house next to the door, where he was sure that the person entering could not see him."
"After the chief judge got inside the bedroom due to the time that the doctors said his wife had died, his wife was still alive and it seems she gave him a sign but due to the shock she was in, she was not able to lift even her finger so she might have tried very hard to signal to her husband that there is someone inside but the judge could not understand and that's when he ran to his wife and called you and this is where we get the certainty that there was someone behind the door. While he was talking on the phone, he suddenly lost contact by hearing a loud bang that must have happened behind him, he couldn't see it. That bang was the leg of a man who was very tired of exercising on his body if not on his legs, that led to him throwing away the phone after the man did what brought him there" Jason listened to the man carefully in the way he was analyzing those things very professionally that he was left surprised because he was different from a lot of policemen he knew who always put the interests of money before anything else and Sometimes forget what their job duties are.
"Now, what is the second reason that gave you the certainty that my brother knew that person? How did he defend himself when he thought that maybe my brother would have other guards?" Jason asked him a question that made him smile from afar like he had expected something like that.
"Someone confident enough to go to the chief judge's house alone to take the life of an honourable person, we should directly draw the line that, that person is very dangerous and cannot be normal. If he was able to kill all the guards within a very short time like that, would he be afraid of the guards who walk with the chief judge? Who is sure that it is only one or if there are more than four? The answer is straightforward because he could surprise and kill them all with ease and carry out his mission. What made him hide until he had two things if he succeeded in killing him his cards would be a good job but if anything happened and the judge escaped death then he didn't really want it to be known that he was involved in that incident that's why he didn't take time to carry out that incident so that he doesn't make a mistake that will cost him or the person who had sent him to carry out the incident." His description was straightforward and very saturated and there were very few people who had the same ability as him that he showed there.
"What education do you have?" Jason had to question the soldier for the kind of answers he had given him.
"I just finished high school and joined the police force"
"You have a lot of potential, I think you should have a lot more, now can you tell me if there is anyone who you feel will be involved in this in one way or another?"
"No, it is still too early because even the full report has not come out yet, although I know it must be twisted, just twist it and important information can be hidden"
"Ok, thank you very much for your information and your cooperation, but there are two things that I want to ask you"
"You can ask me anything."
"First of all, if there is any problem or information about the girl, starting with her security issue, please help me do that on my behalf and if there is anything that is needed, then please contact me as soon as possible" Jason was giving these instructions to the Officer as he gave him his business card, pleading with him about Naira whom he met a few minutes ago.
"That is not a problem, you can tell me the second one."
"Please stay far away from these things."
"What?"
"I am very grateful for your contribution until you have reached this point, you have been a lot of help, but for now, I ask you to stop where you have reached. In the future, I will continue where you left off, I am doing it because of you and your family. These things seem to be very big and with your abilities, I'm sure they will make you disappear in a very short time, so listen to your superiors and do what they need. If I need your help, I'll call you."
"I don't understand. you are the one who is starting to investigate this case? You are a member of the family, yes, but that is the work of the police force and they cannot allow you to do that work, maybe if you were a policeman. I am surprised that you are saying that I should leave investigating it in the future. You are the one who will finish it.“
"Why, do you know me?"
"No, today is the first time I've seen you"
"Then in your life, learn to have a belt when dealing with people you don't know. Don't get deceived by my appearance that it gets to the point where you think I'm selling potatoes in the market Until I tell you to give up on this matter. I know its seriousness and I know that you are still very soft, your body seems to be protecting your life, I don't think you can do it now if those people turn the tables on your other siblings or your children if you have them. Two minutes they leave you with pain and you won't forget it until you die."
"I currently have nothing to lose in my life. I'm going to meet the chief of the armed forces, I need him to give me satisfactory answers about the death of the the honourable president and my brother before I make decisions that will have great consequences for the future, I think we will meet another time" Jason uttered the words that left Officer Bakari in great surprise, he felt that the person might be more than what he was seeing in his eyes.
First, he thought about how the IGP gave him only brief instructions to listen to the man if it were other people it could not be that easy but something else that surprised him was the way Jason mentioned that he was going to meet the head of the armed forces as easily as he was going to shave his beard at a salon. The head of the armed forces is one of the most powerful people in the country, even the process of meeting him is very difficult but for that man, it seemed very normal.
He was shocked at those thoughts and found that Jason had already left, he went out and closed the gate. Then he went back inside where he found his wife in the kitchen, who did not know that her husband was having a serious meeting outside.
