Police station [Murder at Apartment arc]

'F*ck, why did she tell me that even if I asked her out before her marriage she wouldn't have accepted it? I mean I know I'm not that handsome or anything but she could have not told me about it' ,George thought to himself as he was walking out of the company building.

Later he got in a taxi to get to the police station and give a report of the events that happened that night.

After 30 minutes of driving and waiting in traffic he finally reached the station.

The police station was fairly big and every inspector there was busy with their own work.

George did not want to get on bad terms with any of the inspectors, so he quietly sat down and began to wait. After a few minutes an old officer approached him.

The officer seemed days away from his retirement and unlike others he exuded a sense of comfort. "Are you here to file a complaint?" the old man asked politely.

"No"

"Then?"

"I was called here because of the recent murder in front of the apartment" as soon as George said that the cheerful expression of the old man left his face to be replaced with a pale one.

The looks he gave me was almost as if he was pitying me.

"Is there any problem sir?" I asked out of curiosity because of the expression he made with his face.

Hearing this question the officer was out of his thoughts and said, "No, nothing". Then with a kind tone he replied, "Please, follow me"

I did not know what was happening right now, the sad and apologetic look on the old man's face made me think that something was not right.

As I was thinking, the officer led me to a room which had a table and two chairs facing each other. Aside from that there was a huge mirror on one side of the room which I knew was used by the police to see the questioning from another room.

The old man pointed to one of the chairs and said, "You can sit there". After that he left the room leaving me completely alone.

I approached the large mirror and looked really hard on it in an effort to see the other side, but all I could see was a person making a fool out of himself.

I did not get a proper chance to look around as the inspector quickly came in, but this time around this was a different person.

The inspector that just came in looked like he was in his mid 30's like me and along with him he carried a laptop and some files. His uniform was neat and I could not find a fault with it to the point that there were not even any wrinkles on his shirt or pants.

He sat on the chair and put down the laptop on top of the table. He took the files and began to read them aloud, "George Walt, age 36, orphan, profession- salesman, unmarried and your crush got married to another guy recently. Is this all correct?", he said with a serious tone.

"Well apart from my profession everything else is true."

"Did you change your job?"

"No, I was fired from the company today"

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that"

'You don't look like you're though', George thought to himself.

"Well it's not your mistake, but I'm curious, how did you know my crush got married recently?"

"It was there in the CCTV footage", the officer said with an arrogant tone.

It looks like the inspector that just came in is not my biggest fan judging by how annoyed he sounds, so I decided to lighten the mood a little, "Since you know my name, what's your's?"

The officer upon Hearing that question seemed more annoyed than before and it was clear to me that I was digging my own grave.

"Let me correct something here George, I'm the one asking questions, NOT YOU", With that he opened the laptop.

If I had learned one thing here, that would be the fact that the person before me DOES NOT LIKE ME.

After some time, he flipped the laptop to turn the screen towards me and I instantly knew what it was, it's the CCTV footage from the night the old man was killed.

As the video started I saw my drunk self getting out of the taxi and walking towards the apartment. Then I met with the security and after he made a joke about my failed love life I saw myself getting violent with the security.

I wanted to look away and forget that such a moment ever existed in my life but it's about time I faced my past actions and took responsibility for it, so I watched it.

Finally after some time, it was over and I had already gone to my room but at that time the inspector skipped about 2 hours of the video and there they were the thugs who were responsible for killing the poor old man.

It seems that the thugs came after 2 hours when I left him.

There were 2 of them and they were all drunk and had weapons.

At first they parked their bikes near the entrance of the apartment and then they began to sing and dance. The old man came to the scene quickly after hearing all the noises and told them to go away. However they did not listen and continued to do what they were doing.

But then the old man threatened them that he would call the police if they did not comply and this annoyed them.

As soon as the old man left to call the cops one of them sneaked behind him to close his mouth and stab him from behind. The other one took this opportunity and proceeded to stab him at his vital organs.

As I watched the poor man not even being able to let out a sound and die slowly, anger came all over me and I wanted to punch the teeths out of all of them that was involved in this.

When the video was finished I told him, "Officer, you have to catch whoever they are and I will assist you to the best of my abilities."

"I appreciate the enthusiasm but we already have a suspect in mind"

"Who is that?", as I could not contain my curiosity and anger.

"YOU"
