Mr. Monzard, came to the detective agency in an hour. He took his seat on the sofa with Eluya and Iliana, sitting opposite him while Abel was sitting on another desk, noting each and every detail with the conversation.
Iliana clears her throat before speaking. "Mr. Monzard, We have called you here today because we need to ask a few questions and get consent from you." Then she passed the list of things that needed his consent.
Mr. Monzard picked up the paper and read through them, then without a question, he picked up his pen and signed the consent form. "Let's move onto the questions.. I want my daughter to be found as soon as possible and if this helps then I don't need to think." He spoke, still a bit sentimental since his daughter is still missing.
"Well, Mr. Monzard. Is there a chance that your daughter is the one who could've killed your Son-in-law?" Eluya asked calmly, while Abel was typing everything on the computer word-to-word.
"No. That isn't possible, she loved him dearly. I don't know of any reason that will make my daughter kill her husband." Mr. Monzard spoke with reasonableness, he was aware that questions like these could arise from situations like these and he maintained level-headedness.
"I see.. For the next question, Was there any threat to Your Daughter and Son-in-law that you know of? Someone who could threaten their life and do this?" Eluya asked calmly, scribbling on the paper as she listened to Mr. Monzard's answers.
"Not that I know of. They'd have kept it hidden if there was some threat." Mr. Monzard told them what he knew with honesty.
Eluya asked a total of 13 questions, all of which didn't lead to any new clue. Once the questions were done, Iliana took over the conversation and spoke in a professional tone. "Thank you for cooperating with the investigation, Mr. Monzard. We'll contact you once we find more clues about your daughter."
Mr. Monzard nodded at Iliana before he slowly got up and left the agency. Once he was gone, Abel sighed, followed by Eluya and Iliana nodding.
"Since we have permission to go through the call logs from Roseanne Bungalow.. I'll contact someone to do it immediately." Abel spoke as he dialed a number on his phone.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
After a minute of ringing, someone picked up the call on the other side. "I'm sending you a case. Get me information as fast as I can." Abel said in a hurry before cutting off the call and sending the contact information of Mr. Monzard's Daughter and Son-in-law to his partner he just called.
"Isn't it a good thing that investigation and information extraction teams are different from the police force? Everything gets done faster.." Eluya said with a smile as the three of them just needed to wait now.
"It's good. But the law here is still very biased.. Don't forget why we made 'EIA Detective Agency' in the first place." Abel said calmly before he picked up his phone and almost right on time, he recieved the call logs of Mr. Monzard's Daughter and Son-in-law.
Mr. Roseanne, The Son-in-law, had very clean call logs with nothing even remotely suspicious but Mrs. Roseanne, Mr. Monzard's Daughter, had a pretty weird call logs.
Mrs. Roseanne's Call Logs:

Abel smiled as he handed his phone to Eluya and Iliana, letting them read the call logs while he opened a map on the table and began formulating a plan.
"Let's visit this address then.. I'm sure we'll find something there." Abel said as he opened the map of Luminae, covering the entire table.
The map showed the Huding River flowing at the Northern side of Luminae with its five districts, namely Northern District, Eastern District, Western District, Southern District and Central District. Each district was designed by a different group of professionals, making each district unique in its design. Their detective agency was in the Northern District, which was known for its Orthogonal Road Network and the ease of navigation.
"The place we need to go is just a few minutes of driving from here.." Eluya said calmly, smiling at the new development in the case. "Let's go and see what's there."
"Wait.. But I'm still confused. Is this like proof of infidelity?" Iliana asked, confused at the smile on Abel and Eluya's lips.
"Most probably." Abel and Eluya said in sync before they put on their badges and tightened up their holsters preparing to leave the office.
"May the Spirit of Justice show you the Path." Iliana prayed for Abel and Eluya as they left. The case has taken a turn here, whether it's for good or bad is yet to be perceived.
