36 Clue

Lindon hailed for a taxi and went to his apartment.

He did not go back to the Mo Residence because he felt tired.

He slumped on the couch and closed his eyes.

After a while he opened his eyes again and straightened his body.

He pick up a glass and poured a whiskey on it.

He wanted to forget the pain the he felt inside. So he decided to drink hoping that it could help to subside the pain.

When Kresha is done with her work, she quickly gone home.

She have just finished taking a bath. She dried her hair and then she sitted in front of the mirror beside her bed.

She pull the drawer in her desk to get her night cream.

But her gaze stopped on the black metal which is shapped like a flying angel.

Kresha froze for a moment. "Isn't this the thing that the ninja-like savior accidentally dropped when he escaped?" Kresha mumbled.

She try to remember what happened that night.

And then something suddenly popped out to her mind!

She remember the tattoo on the killer's wrist!

Kresha's heart beats faster!

Right! She knew it!

She already saw that tattoo on Nurse Rion's wrist!

It looked like the tattoo on the killer's wrist too!

Kresha thought for a moment.

Could it be that he is the killer?

No, no,no! It can't be!

He was with Elder Mo that night!

Or could it be that they are related to each other?!

Kresha gasp.

"Oh my! It is possible!"

"What am I going to do? This information could help the police to identify the culprit!

Should I call Officer Liu now?

Or should I call Lindon first?

Kresha froze for a moment.

Right! I should call Officer Liu!

She took her phone and tapped it a few times and made a call to Officer Liu.

Officer Liu is the police officer who handled the attempted murder case which Kresha was involved a few months ago.

However, Officer Liu is not picking up the call.

Kresha changed her mind and called Lindon instead.

--------

"Rrriiinnnggg!"

Lindon put the glass of whiskey on the table and pick up his phone and answer it.

He is a littke but tipsy now.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Lindon, did I disturbed you?" Kresha asked from the other line.

"Uh, no, You're not disturbing me." He responsed. "Why did you call this late?" Lindon asked.

"Uhm, I just want to ask if you have talked to Officer Liu?"

Lindon thought for a moment. Officer Liu? The police officer who investigated their case.

"Yeah! I called him last week." Lindon resplied.

"How was the investigation going?" Kresha asked again.

"Well, it's been a few months but they still don't have a lead to identify the criminal.

And they did not found any evidences at the crime scene which made even more difficult for them." Lindon explained.

"Actually, I...I have a new clue about the criminal's identity. This information can help them." Kresha said.

"Oh! Really?"

"Hhmmm... could you accompany me tomorrow to Officer Liu's office? I want to talk to him tomorrow."

Lindon froze.

Kresha notice Lindon's silence, she thought that Lindon don't want to go with her.

She felt uneasy when she heared nothing from Lindon.

"Uhm, but... if you're busy I can-----"

"Alright I'll accompany you tomorrow." Lindon interrupted Kresha.

Kresha have a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Kresha said sincerely. "It's already late, I have to go." Kresha said.

"Hhhmmm" Lindon replied.

"Bye!" Kresha was about to hang up but Lindon called her name.

"Kresha?" Lindon called her.

"Hmmm?" She replied.

"Goodnight!" He said.

"Hmmm!" She nodded her head, she was about to end the call again but Lindon called her name again.

"Kresha!"

"Hmmm?"

I love you! Lindon secretly cried. But he did not blurted it out.

What's the use of saying I love you?

She is happy with another man now.

You should have told her those words during those fifteen years of marriage!

Lindon thought.

"Lindon?" Kresha called Lindon's name when he did not response.

Lindon snapped back to his senses and speak.

"Sleep tight!" He said and then he ended up the call.

He tossed his phone on the couch and rubbed his face with both of his hands.
