Mysteries of the Wind City
The Killing Rose
Chapter 2
Previously: Edward thought the file was missing information so he decided to go to the crime scene and investigate, he stole the building tapes and managed to open the locked drawer and found a mysterious hair, will it be from Dr. Swan's murderer?
When Edward wanted to get the hair he felt something weird in the drawer, half of it had a different texture, he recovered the hair, placed it in a little bag and placed it in a bag in his police jacket, then he pressed softly in the part with the different texture and slowly that part went off and let a white piece of paper alone in the drawer, when he opened it he realized it was the letter, quickly closed it, placed it in the same bag as the hair, stand up and walk out the building, when Nathaniel arrived at his office he walked directly to an oak bookshelf, and pulled a copy of the edition of 1609 of "Hamlet" the bookshelf moved slowly and a corridor was revealed, he walked rapidly until he got to a room with so much technology, DNA and fingerprints analyzers, microscopes, computers, and all sorts of other things, every thing was space gray with some black tones and white lamps hanging from the roof he started analyzing and comparing the hair with the records of the mexican, canadian and american governments, then started reading and analyzing the letter that was signed by
-The Rose.
Edward was sleeping in his chair when a large "beeeeeeeeeeeep" interrupted him, the hair was recognized and it belonged to Dr. Swan, that wasn't very helpful but he remembered he still got to see the buildings footage, he started looking at the footage of the camera in front of Dr. Swan's consulting room and after 45 minutes of nothing he saw someone walking through the corridor with a black sweater and a black cap, there it was, the murderer, he could only see half or its face and it appeared to be a woman but he wasn't sure, he looked for fingerprints at the letter but those weren't recognized by the analyzer, he was losing faith but then he decided to use facial recognition for the face he captured in the footage but nothing, when he noticed machines were not helping him he decided to look for help with Dr. Swans family, he wore the police jacket walked out of his office, looked for a cab and went to Dr. Swan's house, when he got there he knocked at the door and Sue answered "good afternoon miss Swan, I am Detective Masen from Chicago's Police Department, can we talk?" said Edward while showing the police badge to Sue, "of course" said Sue and opened the door for him, they sat at the living room and started talking about what she remembered about the suicide, everything coincide with the file, then Bella arrived from school. "How are you darling, he is detective Masen, he is here to talk about your father" said Sue, Bella dropped his schoolbag, seated near Sue and said "Do you know why he did this?" "I don't but I hope you can help me figure this out" said Edward with a little smile and looking directly into Bella's eyes, this made her feel an electrifying spark in her lower back, she stopped watching him and said "I will do my best", then the questions started, "Do you know anyone who might wanted him dead?" "No, why?" said Bella rapidly "Wasn't this a suicide? Are you telling me someone murdered him" "this is the first time I see something like this" Edward said "Your father suicided because someone threatened you" "What!?, how do you know that" said Bella, "We found this at the crime scene" said Edward while giving her the letter, Bella read the letter out loud.
Dear Dr. Swan
I hope you remember me,
I am your rose, yes, the one you didn't cared about when they wanted to lock her up, believe it or not I managed my way out of the psychiatric hospital but don't worry I dont want to kill you I still remember what happened between us even though you deny it, I want to meet you, I truly want but I can't, You locked me at the Kalamazoo psychiatric hospital for 12 years, can you imagine being in a small room, with no one to talk to and nothing to do for 12 years, oh I forgot something, I didn't had the mental disorders you wrote in that file, we agreed you would write that so that I could visit your office more often and then you forgot about me, also my son never showed up at Kalamazoo and when I showed up at his house last week he didn't opened the door and told me to go away and never come back, you destroyed the only thing I really loved, my family, the one you didn't wanted to be part of, and now I will do the same with you, unless you do something for me, in the envelope there are photos of your daughter Bella, at her school, at your house, at your office, at the groceries store, and If you aren't dead by tomorrow morning I will kill her, I have lots of free time now and I know her complete schedule.
