“Since I stabbed him with the knife he was holding, you can say he just committed suicide after talking by himself. Ah, did you perhaps record everything?”
“……No. It’s not that, but you want me to say like that?”
“Then are you gonna say I came and killed this man? You’re gonna get really tired if that happens.”
That’s true. Jude shook his head while deeply sighing. Alvin Johns came and rescued me and killed that guy? Then there are several problems, why did Alvin Johns do that for Detective Jude? You have contacted with him, right? –these kind of questions. Even if he says no, they will think oh we can lure him using this detective. This kind of absurd trap investigation will come out.
“……Definitely, I don’t like you….”
“Ahaha, don’t be like that too much.”
“So, let me just ask you for a reason. Why did you come?”
“There are several, but I came thinking it might be fun. But because he was too rookie, I got little bored. The things he was going to do were too obvious. I was thinking of killing him before you came, but you didn’t come out after going in, so I just came in.”
“Ah. It was because of your entertainment.”
Jude nodded his head with dumbfounded face. Alvin kindly smiled.
“It was that too. Anyway, you know if there is some interesting part, you want to see it?”
“Aha, I was just an extra.”
“Uh? I didn’t say that. Are you mad?”
Tips of Jude’s lips went down hearing a light laughter and stood up. He brushed off the dusts on his pants. Jude made a moaning sound frowning, “Mmmm” like a person who’s intensely choosing between vanilla and chocolate ice cream for 20 seconds. Soon he shrugged his shoulders and took out his phone from his pocket and turned his head and said to Alvin.
“You, go now.”
“Are you gonna be okay?”
“Don’t say nonsense. You aren’t gonna get caught anyway even if I call for backups. Are you gonna get caught? I’ll call them. I’m always waiting to be kind to people.”
“Hahaha, then see you later. I do want to have a relaxing time with detective, but I don’t have enough time. Next time, we might see again if there is another interesting murderous intent.”
“Go fast. I’m gonna call Tim….. Ah, Tim? Yes, I’m sorry. I’m at the motel. Yeah, where Mr. Lloyd is staying. You know, it’s little long to talk. Yeah. To say it simple, Mr. Lloyd is the killer….. Don’t shout. Send in some cleaning team. There is a body….. Ah, did I get hurt? Yeah, not in particular…. Okay. I’ll wait for you.”
When he turned his head after closing his phone, a young man with grey blue eyes was gone.
Jude stared at the spot where Alvin was standing little tiredly and went out the restroom after a short sigh. Lloyd’s body on the floor with the knife thrust deeply through his neck. Jude complained a little opening a window feeling a familiar bloody smell entering his lung and waited for Tim to arrive.
