"You both saw that infinity tattoo on attorney's hand, right? I find something weird. Is he the killer?" Vhiann asked her friends.
"Vhiann, don't judge Atty. Galiego just because you saw an infinity tattoo on his hand. If he is the killer, he will not help Mr. Jones wins the case," Hannah said confidently believing that Atty. Galiego is not the killer. "Where's still near Atty. Galiego's house, I think, it's not a good idea to leave him alone while he's still not feeling well and not yet awaken."
"Seeing Atty's tattoo made my mind so confused. We need to gather more information that will lead us to the real killer," Adam told them with an open mind. "I think, one of us must go back to attorney and be at his side right now. He needs someone who will take care of him," he added.
"I will go back there to take care of him. For sure he'll find food to eat when he wakes up, I'll go to the department store and buy something," Vhiann insisted.
"You guys take care of each other. We'll wait for you to come back. I'll cook food for lunch. Go back as soon as you got the information needed to solve the case. Bye guys!" she said and waved. She turned back and walked alone towards Atty. Galiego's house.
Hannah and Adam continue walking and after an hour of walking, they reached the jail where Mr. Jones was detained. They visited the accused without his lawyer. The policeman allowed them to visit the accused even though they were not with Atty. Galiego.
"Mr. Jones! You have visitors," the policeman called him. He opened the padlock with a cracking ear sound. The detainee went out and joined the young detectives to their table and ask, "Where is my lawyer?"
"Please take your seat first," they offered. Mr. Jones sat down with a position facing them. "Your lawyer is not feeling well, he collapsed earlier" Adam replied. The accused put his hands tied by handcuffs on the table and seems angry.
"Don't look at us like that, we visited you here to ask you something. We weren't able to solve your case if you didn't cooperate with us just because your lawyer did not appear with us," Adam said looking at the accused with his eyebrows intentionally moves each other and meet.
"Why are you looking at me like that boy?" he asked. "You looked mad at me huh! What brings you here and visit me without my lawyer?" Mr. Jones asked.
"We are here to ask you about an important thing. Please, be honest with us and answer our questions correctly. Understood?" Hannah uttered with a brave aura. "Raise your hands, fix the handcuffs it might hurt your hands, she ordered. When the accused did that, the handcuffs go down and they saw an infinity tattoo on his left hand.
They looked at each other knowing that they have the same thinking during that moment. They stopped for a while and looked at each other until Mr. Jones said, "Now, tell me. What do you want from me?"
Hannah asked him, "Did you try to hire private investigator to follow your wife?"
"Yes. I hired private investigator to follow her anywhere she goes to keep her safe," he answered.
"Why didn't you hire body guards for her, you want her to be safe all the time right? Why private investigator?" Adam asked him.
"Alright! He said in a loud and high tone. "I had a feeling that she has other man, that's why I hired private investigator. To report to me what's my wife doing while I am busy with my work and while I am not in the house. Even if I have doubt feeling that what I'm going to do is not right because she's my wife and I have to trust her, I continued my plan to know the truth about this weird feeling," he described.
"When did you felt that your wife has other man?" Hannah asked him curiously.
"It started a month ago. Every time, I went home and take a bath, I'm always seeing three tooth brush on the bath room knowing that we are just two in the house," he replied.
"Did you ask her about that toothbrush?" Adam asked.
"Of course, I asked her about that. She said, she bought new toothbrush because her tooth brush can't brush her teeth well. But every after having our dinner and we are about to sleep, she's brushing her teeth before she goes to bed. I'm always following her in the bathroom because I still doubted her. Then, I saw her using her old toothbrush but I didn't ask her again. The day after, I didn't saw the toothbrush and I asked her again where it is. She told me that her new toothbrush fell down in the toilet bowl while she's brushing her teeth. But when I'm about to leave the house, I saw our trashcan was full, so I decided to throw it first, then I saw the toothbrush. The following week, I have seen different toothbrush, I asked her showing the toothbrush, "Ohhh! You bought another one?" Then, she answered the same reason. I started to have a doubt. So, I hired private investigator. The one I hired is really expert on spying, he called to me after 3 days. The private investigator told me that envelope containing the pictures he had taken is already at home, he left it on the mail box because no one is in the house. But when I went home and tried to check the envelope in the mail box, I didn't see it," he sequently explained.
"Then, I thought he might deliver it from another house. So, I tried to contact the private investigator again, but he's not answering my phone call," he continued.
"A few days later, the investigator's wife called me. His husband is in critical condition in the hospital and she's asking for help. I went to the hospital secretly and I saw my private investigator in a critical condition, but he was discharged the other day, I thank God he recovered," the accused said with teary eyes.
"Honestly, I don't know who did that to him, I felt guilt. I know it was my fault. To avoid unnecessary happenings to their family, I requested them to go out of the country and I promised to help them with their needs, I'll send money to them every month and they agreed," he added.
