knock-knock

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

*slaps his forehead*

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

💭(Devon!…have you been single for too long?)

Knock-knock

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Captain?

Knock-knock

The persistent knocking interrupted Devon's thoughts

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Come in ❄️

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

*enters the office*

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

What is it?❄️

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

💭(Am I in trouble?)

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

I brought you the two testimonies of Mrs Rogers and Officer Daniels. Here...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Let's see *takes the paperwork*

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

hmm...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

These two really are something else ❄️

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

A mother who consents to the murder of her own son to get his assurance money and pay off her gambling debt.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

And a police officer who imprisons the innocent and releases the guilty to pay off his gambling debt.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

What about Mrs Rogers son Anton 𝛂(alpha)?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

We didn't find anything out of the ordinary. He works as a salesman, single, no conflicts

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

What was a little off, Mrs Rogers first said that her son was living with her, but he actually lived in the library, in one of the storage rooms.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

The storage room where he lived has two entrances. One is on the right just as we enter the library door and one is from the back alley where is body was found.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

What about the security camera recording? Did the I.T team manage to recover it?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Yes. Neither Mr Jones nor Mrs Rogers son Anton appear on Sunday's recording.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

What was the victim's exact time of death?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Between 03:00 - 05:00am

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Does the recording capture something suspicious in between these hours?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

No sir, after Mrs Rogers closed the library and went home, there were some passersby but none of them were acting suspicious.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

What about the two entrances of the alley?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Nothing sir.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Hmm...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

I suspect that the victim was murdered in that storage room then his body was placed in the alley.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

The murderer should have been there from the open hours of the library. Maybe introduced by Mrs Rogers to her son ,and decided to let him stay the night.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

In Mrs Rogers testimony it is stated that she was approached by someone who proposed to her the idea of murdering her son for the assurance money.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

In that way she could pay off her gambling debts, if she doesn't want to do it by herself he can help her. Thinking he was joking she agreed.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Yes. But it doesn't make sense, she also stated in her testimony that she panicked, thinking that someone heard their conversation with "that person" and she would get arrested, so she accused Mr Noel Jones.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

And the motive for her accusations was that, she always thought, Mr Noel Jones was a criminal due to his appearance.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

With the scar on his lips and the neck tattoo he looked like one of those loan sharks. So she thought, if he was already a criminal may as well take the blame for her son murder too.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

She didn't want to find the murderer, she wanted to take advantage of the murder and get rid of someone whom she dislikes.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

She already knew who the murderer was. And they both disliked the same person. As the saying goes "killed two birds with one stone"

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

The same excuse is stated in Officer Daniels testimony. He thought that Mr Noel Jones appearance looked like a criminal, so he didn't do a complete investigation.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

He thought this was his chance to get promoted and rewarded. In that way he could pay off his gambling debt

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

And luckily he was patrolling in the area and heard Mrs Rogers cry for help right?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Did you check if Mr Rogers and Officer Daniels have any kind of communication or relationship with each other?

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Yes, sir. There is none

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

But they do have some things in common.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Same excuses, same debts and a script for the play.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

And the audience is the murderer...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Or the ones behind the murderer

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

huh? *surprised*

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

In my conclusion this was already planned around that time when Mr Noel Jones requested that rare book.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

As he stated in his testimony, from then on he went to the library more frequently.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

But before the plan someone must have been watching and following him, taking notes of his every move.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

The person who followed him may have seen or heard Mrs Rogers talking about gambling or her debt.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Seeing how she and her son would quarrel for money and how cold their relationship is.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

He sent the information he learned to his employer, and they gave him a plan.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Taking advantage of Mr Noel Jones's love for books, they trapped him.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Mrs Rogers must have lied about the book arrival and with that he made him go there frequently. In this way they could connect Mr Jones with her son.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Exactly, and due to his antisocial behavior and the fact that he is a dominant omega, the claims would become more credible.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

What about Officer Daniels? How did he get involved in the plan?

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Simple... The plan was to frame Mr Jones for murder so for that to be accomplished easier, they needed a police officer.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Bribing a police officer is not something new, they probably did their investigation and found Officer Daniels, a gambler.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Getting money to pay off his debt and the chance to get promoted, he was easily tempted

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

and his roles were: to find Mrs Rogers and the body, getting the information about the "murderer", capture him and make sure that he pleads guilty.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

They probably told him about Mr Jones condition, so he made sure Mr Jones can't communicate in any form, forcing him to be uncooperative with the investigation which could lead to the assumption that the suspect is guilty and would be arrested for 30 days.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

30 days is enough to falsify the evidence and make someone plead guilty.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Isn't Mr Jones in danger now that they didn't succeed with their plan? Should we get someone to protect him?

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

No need. Seems like they want him imprisoned legally.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Captain what do you mean?

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

Hmm... If they wanted to kill him or kidnap and imprison him ,they would have done it probably a long time ago.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

...

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

There should be some kind of reason behind this.

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

But for now let's focus on finding the murderer. Go and investigate everyone who entered the library yesterday.

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

Yes, sir

Officer Eric β (Devon's subordinate)

*leaves the office*

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

💭(Noel Jones what do you have that they can't take if you disappeared?)

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

*thinking while rubbing his temples*

knock-knock

Devon Franklin 𝛂° (ML's friend)

The door was opened and a tall man came in with a bottle of whiskey in his hand,moving it from side to side.
