“Garcia, I promise I won’t bother you anymore. It's just this once.Any other witness on my list will be booked into my private room...”, guarantees the old man, taking into account that this time it was due to an unforeseen event.“I have a little time, so tell me more details about this.”, requests the delegate, thoughtful and curious.“You know about my wife's health status, don't you?”, Santiago asks rhetorically and upon having visual confirmation from his friend he continues, “due to expenses I was I tried to resolve my bills and I had an unforeseen event, extra medications that left me without capital, so the room project, which I needed to serve clients, had been left behind.“Yes, yes Santiago...! But it's not about your room or your little money, medicines, etc... that I'm asking about. It's about the client who appeared out of nowhere hiring you and paying over the bill.This is very unusual...? Didn’t you think about that...?”, he asks.“Yes, yes, you are right. And accord
What the old detective hadn't noticed was that his assistant had actually left the scene suddenly after noticing that it was precisely when he had answered the call from the first witness in the case and that she was about to arrive at any moment.“Boss, I have to go now, I’ll call you later and tell you why…” were her last words before Aldo arrived looking to find her.“Sir, sir...!?”, the police department receptionist draws Santiago’s attention as she approaches the old investigator who was sitting with the civilians and thinking. “Hi, sorry...” if you noticed, the detective.“Your guest and what appears to be her lawyer have already arrived.Remember that you will need the room...? And Mr. Garcia asked for it to be brief?”, she passes on the delegate’s message.Since the assistant had not arrived on time and had not called or responded to the detective's attempts to speak to her. The old man realizes that he will have to interrogate the witness alone.This witness was not just an
“I will be providing a request that, after analysis, will give me the right to have access to all the material collected by the police relating to this case...But you are traveling and when you come it will be a little late to contribute any information you can give me now. Before your return, I intend to have the whole case resolved. That was the reason for, first of all, inviting her to be here and have access to her contribution.The person who hired me, who prefers to remain anonymous, even to me, which certainly must have a reason, only let me know about the crimes and provided me with a suspect so it's up to me to find out if there is enough evidence to follow the line of investigation from the starting point provided to me.I'm starting with you, following my intuition, or rather, the path that I think is the most obvious.”, explains the detective, believing that dialogue can break paradigms.“I understand that currently there is a bureaucratic side that limits a person in the
“Okay, that sounds reasonable.The witness is a lady who, routinely, at the same time, according to her every night, interrupts a TV program with the aim of taking her pet to do its business outside the walls of the house where she lives alone...Her dog used to always signal to go out at the same time.That way she didn't even need to look at the clock.One night she left her house and walked to a vacant lot, about 2 blocks from where she lives. The same place as always. At that moment, she came across a man whose hands were still covered in blood and kept a type of razor in one of his pockets.He, according to her, still looked in her direction, but because she was in a darker place and the light was directly on his face, he certainly didn't see her.The witness described him as being approximately tall, around 1.85m tall, with very black hair, brown eyes, with a well-defined physique... sharp nose, thin lips, no beard or mustache...Nothing very precise, however, regarding the fac
“I'll start from the beginning, detective...I dated Alejandro for a month, that is, in a relatively short time we became engaged. This condition lasted at least until two weeks ago... Some gossip magazines criticized it saying that it couldn't last because it was a relationship between two people who didn't know each other for the time necessary for a structured relationship. However, I already knew him very well...Many people know..., except you, of course..., that I worked for years, on several of his productions, before and after we became intimately involved...”, she insinuates. “You're right, I didn't know..., but that's not the way I usually work, it's just...”, The detective once again tries to explain, but she interrupts him, ignoring him.“The time that many critics didn't count, but I did, was the time I worked alongside him. These opportunities for coexistence are the ones that create bonds that lead to attraction, passion and, finally... love. And in the case of a man
“To me it looks like the script of a film... a novel...”, says the somewhat bored investigator.“It was the same conclusion that my producer reached...! When I told her how it all started... She wanted the world to see us both...!”, she remembers.“I know... It's a shame that my assistant isn't here to learn about how to fall in love, she missed class!”, says the investigator, already feeling more bored in the face of so much romanticism outside the context of the case and, especially taking into account that finding it strange She said she was in a hurry.“Can I get back to the topic, investigator...?I believed the intention was to find out from me, who Alejandro Hernández is!”, she argues. The detective realizes that he is being sarcastic and says, “yes, sorry..., you can continue, I promise to restrain myself and wait until you get to the point that interests me as an investigator.“Thank you very much detective!”, he says sarcastically.“You can continue...!”, he repeats.“As I
“He will only be guilty when one day, in this unfair and extremely ungrateful world, it is determined that hundreds of good actions are actually evil!Do some research and you will see that... he alone... did more for people than hundreds of initiatives by dozens of people who consider themselves good...!” she guarantees, already showing impatience. “It's not up to me, taking into account that I don't have enough evidence to determine who may... or may not... be guilty or innocent..., but in general I learned that human beings are not in a position to measure in the right measure, neither love nor hate”, says the old man in response to her statements.At this point she adds, “whatever..., but if there really were crimes, if there is a real suspect..., it could even be very similar to him, but it could never be him. Have you ever thought about this possibility?I guarantee that Alejandro's heart only drives him towards good...And it has always been and will be like this...”, she says
Everyone stays silent until she recovers herself and adds, “no matter what you hear, the accusations against him, if they truly exist, are false. You will never hear anything come out of my mouth other than that. And I am, as you said, the closest person to him.”, she states.“I promise to take this into consideration...We are all influenced by the moment and by emotion and maybe on another occasion you will remember something and... feel free to tell me”, concludes the researcher.The model says in response, after throwing her hair back, “about the project, what I have to say is “yes”. It's big, it's his... and I'm not going to be part of it...Someone close to him revealed to me that, “I don't fit into the drama, unless it was in the final part, where I would play myself... I confess that I didn't understand this statement, but it doesn't matter if my name won't appear in the credits in the end, I was part of his life and no one can take that credit from me... I'm not the target o
