As Abel drove the car to the address frequently mentioned in the call logs, he looked a bit nervous, despite being confident that this information will shed light on the case. "Eluya.. You'll guard the back exit of the house, just in case they decide to escape, alright?" He asked with a calm voice as he stopped the car in front of the house, checking his weapon and badge before getting out of the car.
Eluya nods, checking her pistol and badge before leaving the car. Before Abel knocked at the front door, she walked across the street and stood nearby the back exit of the house.
The door of the house was opened by a young lady, whom Abel immediately recognized as Mrs. Roseanne. "Good morning, Miss Roseanne. Do you mind if I co-" Then a man pushed Mrs. Roseanne to the side and fired three bullets at Abel, which grazed by his ear and left hand.
Then the man slammed the door shut before he and Mrs. Roseanne ran through the house towards the backdoor to escape but they were caught by Eluya, who was already prepared for their escape. Eluya kicked the pistol out of the man's hands, before knocking him on the ground and subduing Mrs. Roseanne.
Abel arrived at the back and secured the handcuffs around the man, Mr. Evans. "You are under arrest for resisting investigation, firing at a detective, and being a suspect in the murder of Mr. Roseanne," Abel said calmly. Just then, a police car arrived, drawn by the sound of gunshots.
The Policemen got out of their car and upon seeing the Detective badges on Abel and Eluya's coats, they sighed in relief. "We'll take them to the investigation room, detectives. You can go ahead and continue your investigation." The Policeman said as they stuffed the suspects in their car.
"Thank you, officer. By the way, forward the message of arrest of suspects to 'EIA Detective Agency', we'll continue our investigation from here." Eluya said calmly before making her way towards the house of Mr. Evans.
The Policeman nodded as he drove the suspects to the police station, also informing the EIA Detective Agency about the arrests.

During all of this, Mr. Evans and Mrs. Roseanne didn't utter a word, aware that their words will be used against them.
Meanwhile, when Iliana got the message of the arrest of suspects from the Police, she sighed in relief, thankful that no one was hurt.
At Mr. Evans's house, Abel and Eluya were taking notes and pictures of any evidence they could find, which could shed light on the intent of murder.
"Abel.. You aren't hurt right?" Eluya asked with a worried look on her face, while collective evidence.
"Yes, I'm fine. The bullets barely missed me, I didn't even need to dodge." Abel said calmly as he looked around the house, moving each and every poster and photo frame around the house to look for clues.
Despite the exhausting search, they still couldn't find the murder weapons, which made Abel grit his teeth. "We still haven't found the murder weapons.. Those two could easily pin the blame on someone else if we can't find proof of murder." Abel said with a bit of rage in his eyes.
Eluya nodded, as she walked around the living room. Since the cause of death of Mr. Roseanne was head trauma with traces of torture and post-mortem injuries, there might not even be a weapon of murder, but that still left items used to torture Mr. Roseanne. Still deep in thought, Eluya began pacing around the room when her toes hit a heavy toolbox, hidden under the table.
Upon seeing the weird heavy box, Abel and Eluya put on their gloves before opening the box. Though it looked just like normal toolbox, it was filled with Cutlery, which Abel recognized to be the missing cutlery from Roseanne Bungalow. And most horrifying of it all, there was a glass pickle jar filled with Formalin that had an eye kept inside it. From the colour of the eyes, it closely resembled Mr. Roseanne's missing left eye.
"This is concrete evidence of the crime." Eluya spoke while maintaining a calm look, but was disgusted by this. "How could a woman do this to her husband.." She asked as she closed the toolbox and labelled it as evidence.
"We don't know the full story yet. Let's take this back and submit it to the police.." Abel said calmly as he helped Eluya carry the toolbox back to their car.
Once back in the car, Abel drove to the police station where Mr. Evans and Mrs. Roseanne were taken. Upon arrival, they were led to the observation room next to the interrogation room, where two investigators were questioning the suspects.
"Welcome back, Mr. Abel and Ms. Eluya. Take a seat. We were just about to begin interrogating these two," said the inspector overseeing the interrogation.
