Detective Laura belle : The clueless criminal part 2

Part 2

“Hey! We would like to meet the newly hired policeman,” asked Mandy to the inspector. “Sure, please give me some time. He is a little busy now,” said the inspector and then asked the detective to see him. “Hey, I’m Laura Belle and this is my friend Mandy Brown and we both are detectives. So, Mr. Phillipe told me to seek help from you for his mother’s death and also….” Laura paused when Collin interrupted her. 

“No more talks. Now get to work. I need the forensic reports ASAP and also the doctor reports. Make sure you ask every single person who were connected to Mr. Phillipe’s mother. Go!” shouted Collin in a very high-pitched voice. “Oh my god, he is so rude. I have never seen a strict-police like him,” Mandy said with a sigh. “Never mind Mandy, we will soon show him our girl power,” said Laura in a cheerful manner.

“According to the reports, the victim was in a good condition but someone has tried to stop her breath,” said the doctor in a sad manner.

 

Soon they collected the reports from the doctor and went to the crime scene. Laura and Mandy saw the few important evidence. The killer must be a handicap as the foot prints on the dirty floor clearly identified that the killer’s right foot is broken. The killer must be very familiar to the victim.

 

“There are 2 females in Mr. Phillips’s house. This is Helen Andrews, age 10, only daughter of Mr. Phillipe. And this is Kathrine Andrews, age 37, wife of Mr. Phillipe. These are their maids. And that is all we have here ma’am,” said Mr. Phillipe’s assistant. “Okay thanks to you, have a good day,” said Laura with a sigh. And then they questioned everyone in the house. “Mrs. Andrews, I want to ask you something. The thing is how are you related to your MIL? (mother-in-law)” asked Mandy in a suspicious tone. “Me? Yeah, I am literally like her daughter. And.…” she started to think and paused her dialogue when Laura interrupted. “Get to the point, ma’am. When did you see your MIL for the last time? What did she look like?” Laura started to raise her voice. “Well, the last time I saw her was when I went to give her medicine. That is all,” Mr. Andrews started to stammer. “Okay ma’am, we will call you whenever we have time. You may leave now,” said Mandy.

 

After a week, Laura and Mandy had an evidence. According to the reports, the killer who killed Mr. Phillipe’s mother was Mrs. Andrews. “Hey Laura, I just got a new evidence, just have a look at it. I have found a gold-specs in Mr. Phillipe’s bedroom. We have to give it for checking,” Mandy said in happiness. The truth was, it was not Mrs. Andrew’s gold specs. It was her MIL’s.

“If you confess, you will be in jail just for 15 year. And if you don’t, you will be there for 30 years,” Laura said in a soft manner. “What?! How can I kill my mother-in-law? It’s unbelievable, just let me out. I have to go.” Mrs. Andrews started to stammer. “You’re surprised, huh? I had a very close eye on you, ma’am. When we were checking your house, I found this artificial leg outside your house, in the garbage. I always seen you wearing heels which has a raise on the right side than the left. So, it would be easy for you to walk. And the confusing part is, who wears heels for walking in the house? It’s funny, really funny. And now, you have to confess. It clearly shows that you are the murderer and you will suffer in jail for 30 years and also for an extra 5 years to learn how to control yourself.” Mandy could not control herself and all of a sudden took her gun and tried to shoot Mrs. Andrews.

 

Laura tried to stop her and then Mrs. Andrews finally confessed. “I killed her because, she had troubled me a lot. She always used to compare me with others. I’m a drawing artist. But I retired just for her to take care of her. But she always irritated me. On one day, I could not control myself. I was literally in a depression. So, when she was sleeping, I took a pillow and you know what happened next. I am the one who killed my mother-in-law.”

 

Soon, they called Collin to tell the reason. Then, he took out his handcuffs and she was sent to the jail. Mr. Phillipe was heartbroken when he heard this from Laura and Mandy. Mrs. Andrews will suffer in jail for 40 years for murdering a senior citizen. Soon Laura and Mandy became deputies in the States. They were known as the youngest detectives in the U.S.A and soon they will solve another case with another great mystery.
