'' We may sometimes be sure about what we think, but it may be, in fact, far from our first thought, hence the importance of developing several hypotheses to avoid any ambiguities. ''
-Hello sear, can I talk to Mr. Mike Fillion?
-Yes speaking, what can I do for you? answered Fillion.
-Hi Lucy Barnes here.
Lucy Barnes was working at the NYPD in the autopsy department. She usually worked with all the teams, investigating on murders requiring her services.
- I would like to give you new information to help your team progress in this investigation. We just discovered the exact size of the murder weapon, but we can't identify the specific objet that killed the man. Apparently, the man would have been killed by a blow to the head hard enough to have caused serious concussion and bleeding. By the fracture on the skull of the victim, we can affirm that the object is 4 by 15 inches and made of metal. We also discovered little red spot paint that, unfortunately, can't be analyzed due to the blood that covered it. I hope these new information will help you to advance in your research. If you have any question or new information, don't hesitate to call me at my office.
-Thank you very much Lucy for having informed me about these new development. I will take good note of it.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he called his two partner Jill Ferras and Rick Cooper. As usual, Rick was unreachable while Jill answered her phone after the first ringtone. Mike and Rick were best friend since high school and their paths had never been separated even if they didn't have the same job and, especially, the same personality. In fact, Rick Cooper, was a seasoned detective who wasn't organized at all and always late, the exact opposite of Mike Fillion who couldn't bear disorder. They sometimes got on nerves each other, yet it didn't last long. Cooper could be qualified as a womanizer while Fillion worked so that he didn't even have time for his wife, because his work invaded his life. He finally left a message on Cooper voicemail phone that said they were meeting the three of them at 12:30 for dinner at the Belagio restaurant.
12:30
Mike and Jill arrived at the restaurant at the same time and took a table for three. Obviously, Rick, as usual, was late. He finally arrived 20 minutes later because of the traffic. Ferras and Fillion had already ordered.
-I got new info from Lucy Barnes chief of the autopsy department in the NYPD. We had a talk about the murder weapon and, apparently, the murderer had been caused by big object blow on the victim's head that generated a concussion. He was killed instantly. The dimension of this object is approximately 4 by 15 inches and made of metal. Besides, some little red spot were found on his head, but couldn't be analyzed due to the blood that covered it, introduced Fillion.
-It could maybe be a paint jar, said Cooper.
-I don't think so, added Jill Ferras, because the components of that jar aren't hard enough to kill an adult.
-It may be an oxygen tank, replied Cooper.
-What would someone do with an oxygen tank in an elevator? answered Mike.
-Well, I don't know, I'm not the murderer!
At the same time, everybody else in the restaurant began to scream because there was a fire in the kitchen. An employee rushed in to stop the fire with an extinguisher.
-Guys, I know exactly what killed our man! exclaimed Mike.
