Detective Alex entered the small interrogation room, where the team was gathered around a table full of files and documents. Alex stood in the center of the room, holding a file that belonged to Adam Carmel, the prime suspect in Maria's murder.
"Well, we have more work to do to confirm Adam Carmel's identity," Alex said in a calm, confident voice. "Melinda, do you think you would recognize him if you saw him again?"
"Yes, I'm sure I'll never forget his face after what he did to Maria." Those green eyes held intense anger and hatred, and Melinda said firmly…
"I understand why you're angry, but we can't confirm if Adam is the killer or not…" Alex looked at this young blonde and understood her thoughts…
"Now all we can do is look for conclusive evidence proving Adam's involvement…" Alex looked at his team members solemnly and said.
"Yes sir…" Sub-Detective Isabella and Detective James and Daniel nodded solemnly… They had made all their efforts to gather information about Adam in the previous three days…
Shortly thereafter, the investigative team began coordinating plans to arrest Adam Karmel and prepare all the evidence necessary to bring him to court. They knew it would not be an easy task, as Adam was suspected of other criminal activities and was extremely clever at evading capture.
Meanwhile, Melinda was relieved that justice would be done quickly and the truth would come out...
After two days of intensive investigations...
"Well, we have official confirmation of Adam Carmel's identity. Now we must move quickly to capture him and bring him to justice."
Detective Alex and his team speed their police car through the streets of Los Angeles after finding Adam Carmel in a crowded nightclub. Flashing lights and loud music filled the nearby streets.
They arrived at the nightclub, where the air was loud and lines of people were waiting to enter. The team's detectives rushed around the stage, looking at the faces of the audience, trying to find Adam Carmel.
Detective Alex and Melinda walked through the crowd and tried to catch a glimpse of the people there…
Melinda felt her heart race and wondered if she would ever be able to know Adam again. It had been many years since she had last seen him...
At some point between the noise and the loud music, Alex notices a man sitting in a dark corner, trying to avoid attention and looking nervous.
Detective Alex took a deep breath and approached him cautiously, deep down he knew this was the moment to shed light on the culprit and reveal his identity.
As Melinda continued to grab Alex from behind...
Melinda, is that a boy? Alex tried not to avoid the doubts and turned to Melinda whispering in a weak voice…
Melinda looked at the black haired young man's face and felt an overwhelming shock...she took a moment to examine the young man's face..then her green eyes began to widen and her face became distinct. Her voice rose slightly as she said, "Yes, yes! It's Adam Carmel, no doubt about it!"
Her strong words reached the black haired young man's ears and the expression on his face changed, in a moment he got up from his desk and quickly ran through the crowd…
"Damn, he's running..." Alex's expression changed as he ran after him, not expecting Melinda's reaction to spell disaster for him.
Alex broke through the crowd, trying to catch up. Melinda also felt guilty about causing Adam to run away and tried to reach Alex...
The mysterious young man jumped into the narrow alleys and tried to get out of the nightclub by hiding behind the shadows. Alex followed without hesitation.
With a secret signal from Alex, his team approached him cautiously, dispersing around him unnoticed. Then, they quickly approached him amid the chaos of the country.
As the mysterious young man tried, he saw this black-haired woman rushing towards him in the crowd and quickly changed the direction of his escape, but he could see this man who looked to be in his forties blocking his escape route…. This left him feeling terrified…
"Adam Carmel, you are under arrest for murder and fugitive from justice." Alex hurriedly strode towards him and said in a determined voice after reaching a close distance from him.
"I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!" The young man stood there in one of the dark corners while wearing a complicated expression on his face… and screamed loudly, scared…
"We have the evidence against you, Adam. You may have changed your personality and appearance, but you won't be able to hide the truth. You won't escape justice this time…" Alex shouted, his blue eyes they shone from the lights. of faith and determination.
At a signal from Alex, he and his team members advanced towards the young man, where they were able to ascertain his identity. Based on the strong confirmation, Alex decides it's time to catch Adam Carmel and bring him to justice.
Despite his resistance, they finally caught him and tied him tightly, then began to search him and take the necessary legal procedures.
Adam realized that his elusive effort had failed and that there was no escape from him. His features broke and he surrendered to their grip that held him tight...
"Adam, it's time to pay the price for your crimes," Melinda quickly left the squad and shouted in a powerful voice that carried over the loud music…
Crowds gathered around as they gazed in wonder at the scene as the colorful lights and music continued…
next scene..
In the interrogation room, Alex interrogates Adam as a dark and tense atmosphere prevails.
Adam sat in the steel chair in the center of the room, his face cast with a shadow of doubt and fear. Alexi and Melinda were sitting on the opposite side of the table from him...
"Adam Carmel, serious charges have been filed against you for Maria's murder. We are here to get the truth, so please be honest with us." Alex looked at the 18 year old and said in a calm and measured voice.
"I did not kill him, I swear that I am innocent." Adam trembled when he heard this accusation and screamed louder, he didn't expect the police to search for him because of Maria's death...
"You will not be able to escape justice. Your deeds will be revealed and you will pay for them. Tell me why you killed him...?!!!" Melinda looked at him with feverish eyes and felt the anger rise inside her. She had no choice but to scream in anger.
"Melinda I didn't do anything like that, I'm a victim too. I could be misidentified. You know very well that I can't do such a despicable thing...!!" Adam looked at this blonde lady and he might recognize her, he said excitedly. Faced with this harsh accusation of her...
"Adam, I've seen you wandering around our school many times, tell me if you're innocent why have you been seeing Maria all the time…" Melinda felt angry and sad at the same time, and unconsciously snapped her hand firmly on the table which left behind a loud thud…
"Melinda, calm down. This is not a proper interrogation method... If you do this again, then you must leave the session..." Alex could understand why she was angry, but this behavior was illegal ... But really he wouldn't have allowed it. accompany her to the interrogation if it wasn't for her previous relationship with Adam Carmel...
"I was there on some business and I wasn't there to see you or Maria, I actually felt very sad after hearing the news… I didn't expect Maria to have such a fate…" Adam's expression changed and he said to eyes filled with pity and sadness.
He felt the deep pain of Maria's death... and it was evident in the expression on his face and that look in his eyes...
"Adam, your chance to defend yourself still exists. Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence? Tell me where you were on the day of the crime..."
Alex was an experienced investigator in this field and listened to Adam's words calmly... as he continued to stare into his eyes to discover more hidden information that could prove his guilt...
"That night I slept at home and didn't leave him all night, my family can testify to that..." Adam felt subdued when he saw the face of this gray-haired young man! Alex already possessed the aura of an experienced detective…
"I have interrogated your family before and they share the same words… but that is not enough to prove your innocence…" Alex sighed and started to feel a headache from this matter… Even the cameras of on the street where Adam lives, they were testifying that he did not do this. Leave the house...
"I told you I'm innocent... I'm not a murderer..." Adam felt upset... As he looked into the bright green eyes, he didn't expect Melinda to believe that he was the murderer. Through it all he had the feeling that she knew him well... and knew how much he loved Maria...
"You are a liar...!! You must pay the price for your despicable behavior... Your family must lie to save you..." Melinda felt feelings of malice and hatred rising within her, words that Maria she reminded him... and said angrily...
"Melinda, I know nothing can ease the pain you are feeling. But you are the one who knows best that I have always loved Maria... Do you think I have the power to hurt her...?" Adam understood the type of relationship between Maria and Melinda and always felt like they were sisters rather than just friends.
"You're a liar, you must have killed Maria because she didn't return her feelings..." Melinda looked at Adam with eyes mixed with anger and pity. She remembers the happy childhood days they spent together and how Adam was the one who supported and protected Maria. But now as if he had become another being, killed Maria and ended everything between them...
"I told you I didn't do it..!!! Why are you accusing me of killing him of all...? Maybe he had animosity with someone else..." Adam couldn't stand listening to Melinda anymore. the words and shouted angrily...
"Another person…?! Do you have any doubts about this matter…?!" Detective Alex heard those words and his eyes shone with an incomprehensible blue glow…
"Mr. Detective, Maria Starlet was a kind and loving person with a large network and since her childhood she had many friends... No matter how kind she was, surely anyone would feel envious when they saw her brilliance …" Dozens of old memories came flooding back to Adam. mind and remembered their bond together He wanted those happy times to not end forever...
"And you are one of the people who might have the most hatred and envy towards Mary because of your relationship in your teenage days…" Alex continued to look at Adam with an uncomprehending look and said…
"No, I've always had feelings of love for her, and I didn't have any horrible thoughts about her when she ended our childhood relationship... Even when I saw her again in high school, I couldn't help but look at her with love. and admiration…" Adam remembered that strange feeling welling up deep within him. Every time he looked at Maria and said with great sadness in his voice...he knew very well that he could never see her again and he wished he could help her. ..
"Are you saying you went to our school to see Maria..?!"
Melinda heard his sad tone, but she couldn't believe him...
"That's right, but even though I went to high school for her, I've never had any bad thoughts towards her... I can't do anything to hurt her... I've always loved her..." Adam's black eyes suddenly filled with tears... They were sad tears full of sorrow... And remembering the image of Mary in his mind he wept heartily for the loss of his childhood love...
Alex continued to look at those tears in silence, knowing very well that he couldn't believe Adam's words... He had always had many cases where some people might have killed as a result of obsession and excessive worry for their loved ones...
Melinda looked at Adam sadly, but she couldn't decide what she was feeling or what she was going to do...
"We'll stop now and resume the session later… Come on Melinda, let's go…" Detective Alex sighed and stood up from his chair and said in a solemn voice…
"Yeah…" Melinda continued to look at Adam with those green eyes reflecting how confused her thoughts were. She followed Alex out of the interrogation room...
