"Yes, I killed him.. So what?" Mr. Evans said during the interrogation without a hint of hesitation. "So what, huh? Do you know how bad of a person he was?"

"Yeah.. That man was drunk day and night. All he did was beat me.." Mrs. Roseanne spoke with hatred in her eyes.

"Yeah.. I am not buying this. Explain more. Why did you two brutally kill Mr. Roseanne?" The interrogator spoke with a calm look as he put the photo of the Left eye of Mr. Roseanne in front of the two suspects. "What length did you two go through to torture him?" He added, with a grim look in his eyes.

Upon seeing the photo, Mrs. Roseanne looked a bit distressed and gritted her teeth. It was obvious that she was hiding something and Mr. Evans wanted to keep it so.

Meanwhile in the other room, Abel has noticed something off. "Hey, Officer. Can you ask the interrogator to bring up Mrs. Roseanne's pregnancy?" Abel said with a serious look on his face.

Eluya, instantly realised what Abel was trying to bring up but nodded anyways. But even if 'that' was true, Mr. Roseanne's death was still too cruel.

The officer in the observation room, was unable to grasp the intention but conveyed the message to the Interrogators. "I've conveyed the message, Mr. Abel.. But one thing isn't adding up.. Mrs. Roseanne isn't pregnant." The Officer asked before it dawned on him.

The other Interrogator had now taken the charge and immediately asked Mrs. Roseanne. "Mrs. Roseanne.. What about the child?"

As soon as these words left the Interrogator's mouth, Mr. Evans became enraged, he slammed his hand on the table and shouted. "WHY DID YOU ASK THAT?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN SHE WAS IN?!"

Abel and Eluya stood up from their chair once they saw Mrs. Roseanne's crying with her head leaning on the table.

"Wait! Detectives, where are you two going?" The officer sitting beside them in the observation room asks with a confused look.

"Our work here is over. Those two will give their statements in about an hour or so.. This case will go to the Moral Court for what they are about to say." Abel spoke in a calm manner before looking at the officer one last time. "Send our agency an email about the date of the Moral Court hearing."

Then Eluya and Abel left the Police Station and went back to their office. On their way back, Eluya sighs before speaking in a calm manner. "It seems the full picture was even more horrifying than what was present in the autopsy."

"Yes.. That's why cases shouldn't be judged. We'll inform Mr. Roseanne once we go back to office. Iliana will handle the proceedings in the Moral Court." Abel said calmly while driving the car. His expression was neutral, though completely aware that he did the best thing possible, his face didn't show any happiness at closing the case.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Once they were back at their office, Abel sat down beside Iliana while Eluya went up the stairs into her room to rest.

"So.. You two are leaving the rest to me? Just explain the story so I can handle the proceedings." Iliana asked calmly, passing the glass of water to Abel.

Abel nods as he accepts the glass and sips the water. Once done, he sighs, going over to Iliana's desk, giving her an overview of the case while typing the entire detailed report in the computer.

Victim: Mr. Albert Roseanne

Relations: Mrs. Rukia Roseanne (Wife), Mr. Rob Monzard (Father-in-law)

Cause of Death: Head Trauma and Constant Torture

Culprit: Mrs. Rukia Roseanne (Wife), Mr. Paul Evans (not related)

Description:

Albert was an alcoholic, drinking every day and subjecting his wife, Rukia, to domestic violence every day, without fail.

Albert regularly forced himself upon Rukia multiple times during the instances of domestic violence. The effects of these actions were detrimental to both Rukia's Mental and Physical health.

Albert resorted to violence to prevent any chance of his wife conceiving a child, resulting in her physical health declining. Rukia was afraid to mention this to anyone, including her father, Rob Monzard.

During one of Rukia's many visits to a clinic for regular checkups relating to her physical health, Rukia met Paul Evans, a single Father whose wife cheated on him and ran off with the guy she was cheating with.

Paul usually visited the clinic to help with patients and gradually on these visits, Paul and Rukia fell in love. That's when Paul got to know about Rukia's husband and how much pain is inflicted on her. That's when the two made a plan, they will kill Albert Roseanne.

The murder happened during the morning of 19 July, 2027. Paul Evans arrived at Roseanne Bungalow and was led inside the house by Rukia.

Since Albert Roseanne was still asleep from drinking last night, Paul tied him up and stuffed his mouth with clothes so Albert was unable to scream or call anyone.

Once Albert finally gained consciousness, he was tortured by Paul and Rukia, with his Lower Jaw pulled out, his fingers and toes cut and his left eye spooned out of his eye socket before his eventual dead due to head trauma. Upon his death, his face was beaten badly and an adhesive was applied to the floor before laying Albert's body on the floor.

Paul and Rukia left the scene soon after this, taking everything they used to torture Albert with them along with the left eye.

The Dead Body and Rukia's absence was only found after Rob Monzard visited the house.

"So this is the story of this case.. I should inform Mr. Monzard." Iliana spoke with a hint of grief in her eyes as she dialed Mr. Monzard's number on her phone, telling him the truth. When she finished speaking, the other side of call filled with loud wails of agony and Iliana tried her best to comfort Mr. Monzard.

Once the call was finally over, Iliana looked at Abel. "So when is the Moral Court's date?" She asked with a calm look."

"The email just came now.. It's the day after tomorrow, 30 July 2027." Abel said in a calm manner. "You can handle it alone, right? After the guilty verdict is given, use your rights as the member of Detective Agency and get the final statements from the culprit."

Iliana nodded before Abel stood up from the desk and went into his room to rest. Solving and urgent case like this in two days did take toll on their body.
