The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 207.
“Yes, they have the same car as anyone in the photo. They have the same three cars that were used by the perpetrators and we are checking all three,” said a subordinate of Stevan who immediately directed them to the warehouse section of the rental site. There are some people that Graciella thinks are the owners and also employees of this rental place.
“Are the three also on lease on the night?” ask Graciella directly. Stevan's subordinate immediately looked towards Graciella. Of course he was afraid to answer questions from Graciella if there was no approval from Stevan. It was secret police data.
“He's a private investigator working with us. So from now on what he needs or he asks, you have to answer him if you do have the information,” Stevan said.
“Good commander,” said subordinate Stevan. Although it feels a bit strange because usually Stevan from the past is very unhappy if the investigation is mediated by other parties. This time he ordered them to instead follow the request of this private investigator. Graciella looked back at Stevan's subordinate with a face that demanded an answer. “Oh, yes. All three were on lease that night and we also got the borrower data.” Stevan's subordinate immediately handed him some papers about the car's tenant.
“Have all three cars been cleaned?” ask Graciella.
“According to owner. One car was cleaned by the owner before it was returned 4 days ago. The two have not been cleaned, and were returned 2 and 1 days ago,” said a subordinate of Stevan as he continued to take them towards the warehouse.
Graciella looked at the car renter's data along with a photo of the identity card coffee they had left behind. Observing everything. There were two people whose posture could be said to match that of the killer. But that doesn't directly allow him to determine who the suspect is.
“This is the third car,” said Stevan subordinates showed three Jeep wranglers in 2018 that had lined up in front of them. Graciella noticed two cars that looked dirty and the other one was very clean.
“Where to rent by Kevin Wang?” graciella asked looking at Stevan's subordinate.
“This one, the middle one. He just returned it yesterday. No time to wash it. This is hers,” said Stevan's subordinate directing Graciella.
Graciella immediately walked towards the car and saw a car that looked dirty with dust and also a lot of splashes of soil and mud. Scramble at the bottom of that car.
Graciell's subordinate opened the car. The inside is as dirty as the outside. Graciella took out the hardened mud residue, analyzing it for a moment. Take back in certain parts. Crush it with his hands and slightly smell the residue that was there.
“What's up?” ask Stevan.
“I guess, he's not the culprit," Graciella said directly with her serious face.
“You know where?” is from stevan asked directly.
“His job is a wildlife photographer. The car was filled with mud. In some parts there is visible mud piled up sign he has used this car to muddy areas long enough. Because there was a different pile, so he walked in the mud and repeated it again the next day. The fact that this car smells fishy sea signifies he went to an area with a border of sea and mud that is quite thick and black, there are mangrove leaves that have dried there, he said, it's probably been here for about 7 days. In this country, it is in the eastern region. It's about 12 hours from here. You committed a murder and then went 12 hours to create an alibi, and repeated it for a few days. Then came back here yesterday. A little troublesome.” Graciella.
“Nothing's sense, put him on the last list,” Stevan told his subordinates.
“Which car is from Chuck?” graciella.
“That's over there,” said Stevan's subordinate directly walking towards the car but Graciella was unmoved.
“Has it been washed?” ask Graciella.
“Yes, because it is better to check the car that has been washed,”, said Graciella who headed directly towards a car that was not appointed by Stevan's subordinates.
Everyone who heard Graciella's words immediately frowned. Why check a car that has been washed? But Stevan and Daren don't want to ask again what Graciella wants to do. Surely he knows what he's doing.
Graciella opened the car. He saw that the car was very clean and neat. Graciella slowly got into the car. Because of her posture is not too high, Graciella a little difficult to climb on it.
“Here I help,” Stevan said helping Graciella to get on top of the car.
“Thank you,” said Graciella smiling. Fortunately, she did not wear a dress today. If not, this must be very difficult.
Graciella saw everything in the car. He looked at the front and back. He also held his steering wheel as if feeling everything.
“What do you want to get here?” stevan.
“When the perpetrator committed murder. He wears gloves, right? were the gloves found in the hospital area or surrounding areas?” ask Graciella.
“No, the glove was not found,” Stevan said.
“So she brought it,” Graciella said as if mumbling to herself. “Is in TKP blood about other places?” ask Graciella who has not studied about TKP. He also did not come there.
“Yes, there is a splash on the wall, the edge of the bed, the infusion pole and the floor,”, said Stevan who immediately asked for his tablet from his subordinates. She knew for sure Graciella wanted to see that.
“There's a photo?” ask Graciella again. He's like a kid trying to drive his car.
“Ya this.” Stevan immediately gave the photos of the scene.
Graciella looked at everything in detail. The highlight was the blood distribution caused by the shooting. There were two drops of blood on the white wall. On the infusion pole. But what made him happy was seeing the blood on the edge of the bed. The blood was as if faintly attracted at the end. It signified that the blood was erased by something and it could have been his murderous clothes.
“Alright, can you hold this first?” graciella asked to re-direct the tablet.
“Ya.”
Daren and Stevan frowned as Graciella arranged her seat until her body touched the steering wheel. He also pulled his seatbelt and positioned everything. He looked at his body and saw how he was.
“What's Graciella?” ask Daren curious. She always likes Graciella's sparkling face if she finds something. But that face also made everyone curious. What has he found?
