I don't own anything except my own published book… as you all know…Gosho Aoyama owns every single character of DC and MK…So please Enjoy the new chapter


Shiho went outside and the two friends carried on chatting. Shiho was erring in the garden…it was a beautiful one for sure…admiring flowers with all colors that added a special touch to the symmetrical designed garden…she was admiring the beauty of nature when she suddenly heard a violin … someone was playing violin…she turned her head to find at few meters from her a gazebo…someone was sitting there…someone that played violin…she went closer and closer …until there was a mere 5 meters separating them

Voice

Don't come any closer

Shiho froze in her place

Voice

You don't really want to do it

Shiho

Voice

And I don't want you to do it

Shiho

Voice

Just leave this place…

Shiho

Is anything wrong with you? I'm not probably the one you think I am …I've never met with you probably…

Voice

I hate you…just leave…a traitor like them all

Shiho

I can let you say I'm traitor this simple…you've got to give reasons to make me think of my own self as a traitor

Voice

That's good…you're a stupid one too…look I'd hate to talk with you…so just leave…I …don't…need to know another girl

Shiho

You've been playing a good song…Amazing Grace?

Voice

None of your business

Shiho

It's said to be a song of forgiveness…isn't?

Voice

I said it's none….

Shiho

…why don't you just forgive her? The girl that caused you pain?

Voice

You're an annoying one

Shiho

I know…a lover's heart can never be mended…but I'll never regret trying

Voice

…trying to mend a broken heart…it's such a silly thing…it will remain broken for ever…and you'll just waste your time …there will be always a scar that will make you remember everything…if only I was dead on that day…things would be much easier

Shiho

Mark…you can't run from your fate

Voice

You know who am I…that's a pretty good evidence

Shiho

Evidence… aiming to prove anything?

Mark

Aiming to prove you're just another girl brought by my mother to relieve my pain…

Shiho

I am probably not…I'm just an ordinary guest…I'd never be a part of such a plan…I don't want to…

Mark

You won't trick by just saying so

Shiho

I'm telling the truth

Mark

Yet still I can't believe you…

Shiho

You're free…

Mark

Good bye…you don't seem to understand the word "leave"… I'll be going on my own

Shiho was silent…half an hour later, many guests arrived to the party…it was fun to attend such one…Shiho was surprised to see that all guests were female except one man…a man that was about twenty five years old that was silently sipping his cup of tea…then one of the maids come closer to him…whispered him something in the ear…something that made him get up suddenly and go into the house hurriedly few minutes later…a loud scream was heard…Shiho was sure of what happened…a suicide!

As Shiho got to the room…police were already everywhere investigating the death of Mark… once his friend David went to the room…he saw his best friend laying in the bed unconsciously…David was sure of the fact that his friend was dead and so he called the police and an ambulance.

David was called to the room because the maid knocked for about 10 minutes on the door but no one responded…searched in the whole house for her master but couldn't find him …as she's been told about what happened years ago… she thought it can be repeat and went to tell David.

Police believed it was a suicide…considering that the deceased already tried once to suicide 3 years ago … the case was already said to be a suicide…but after all a questioning was necessary to go through the 56 persons that were there were questioned and most of them denied even seeing him…Juliette said she was the last one to see him as she dropped by his bedroom a little while before her guests arrived …Elena as the other guests didn't see him and Shiho said that she talked with him in the garden.

The police inspector confirmed his death after he took a significant dose of methanol which caused his poisoning. He was ready to conceal the case as a suicide when …

Shiho

But we're not sure enough of the fact, are we?

Inspector

Excuse me Miss but it's a Police affair, you know…

Shiho

But, we can't let him run away the culprit that murdered this young man

Inspector

What are you saying? It's a murder?

Shiho

A simple fact…The deceased can't reach that substance …he's blind you know…

Inspector

May be…he could manage to find it…

Shiho

I can't believe it…that blind person would be able to find methanol where there is no methanol

Inspector

May be he consumed something that contained it..

Juliette

He can't…after he was blinded… I prevented using anything containing methanol in the house…I didn't want him to do it again

Shiho

And so…it can't really be a suicide…it's a murder

Inspector

Would you please come into this room we can talk?

Shiho

Surely whispering to him just tell all the guests to leave except those two people

Inspector

I'll tell my assistant to do it

And they both went into the room

Inspector

There's no leads to a culprit…we didn't find any thing

Shiho

You won't…the murder is surely a careful one

Inspector

Why did he do it? How and when?

Shiho

He was a stupid one…after all…Mark tried once to suicide…3 years ago…inhaling Methanol…but fortunately the amount he inhaled before they found him was a small one to kill him…but enough to blind him…3 years ago he tried to suicide hoping to run away from…his traitor

Inspector

I know about the facts of that case…just tell me who the culprit is?

Shiho

A lover's heart can never be mended…it's true…that's what Mark told me…he was pretty upset this afternoon…it was planned after all…that my mother and I come to this house…that I speak to Mark and that he thinks I am only some random girl his mother brought to make him forget the one he loved most…

Inspector

So what? Who the culprit is?

Shiho

It's …

Inspector

We'll go out and arrest him then

Shiho

No…not now…we need an evidence… but for now…do as I tell you…

The inspector and Shiho went out of the room, Elena, Juliette, David and some others workers were there

Inspector

We've discussed it…The Miss had a wrong deduction so it was just a suicide

Elena

Then we can go back to our homes Inspector

Inspector

Yes…but first I need to meet you all in the living room …just for more information

Juliette

I'm terribly tired…can I just go to my bedroom?

Inspector

I'm afraid you can't…he's your son and you know him best if we ever needed any information

David

Just let her go inspector…I'll tell you everything…I've been his friend from childhood

Juliette

That's right…David probably knows better than I do.

Inspector

Then it's okay for you to go…we're sorry

Juliette

Thank you

The others went to living room except David who walked to Juliette Room

David

I'm sorry…

Juliette

I knew it…no need for further explanation

David

He was in pretty good mood but…once I told him…he got furious…I shouldn't have told him after all

Juliette

No…it's okay…I can't let him believe in her love…she didn't deserve it after all…a pure love like my son's

David

After I told him…he asked me to bring him some pills from the medicine cabinet in the bathroom…when I was back I found him trying to swallow some kinds of pills

Juliette

I knew…he wouldn't like to bear such life any more…

David

I took them from him…he hit me with his cane…saying I wasn't keep a promise

Juliette

I know about it…we've never hidden anything from each other…that promise

David

The promise that forced me to…

Juliette

I know…after you left his room…I went to see him…he was pretty cool then…he was happy…he said was finally getting rid of his pain…I couldn't help but ask him…

David

Whether David was still keeping his promise?

Juliette

He said…"I'd be happy to leave this world…My friend will do it…this is what friends are for, isn't?...to give a hand in need …David will do it…even though it will be much better if you did it yourself"

David

I was out preparing a syringe …when I was back…he was abnormally calm…and he said that he was happy…because he knows there were some ones that loved him… he said that you did help him relieve some of his pain…and that he'll be thankful for ever …because I did keep my promise…his fainted smile was the last thing I saw before I injected him that poison…I'm truly sorry

Juliette

It's okay…at least he's resting peacefully now…as we will do too…Do you want some tea?

David

Yes…sweet please…I need lots of sugar

As she put sugar in tea, two officers busted into the room

Officers

You're under arrest…hold your hands up high

Shiho

Just as I expected…it was a silly plan after all…to put cyanide in tea…and make an end to your lives…you killed him…both of you…and now, what are you doing?...Running away from your fate? From justice? … I wouldn't keep such a promise…a promise of killing someone that lost hope…I wouldn't kill him…I'd kill his cowardliness instead…it would be way better… if I gave him another chance instead of forbidding it…it'd rather give him a new life instead of taking his own…how ruthless of a mother…to kill her son …how unfaithful of a friend…to give his friend a poison…for no matter what reason…it's such a stupid way of keeping a promise!


This was the twelfth chapter…hope you did enjoy…I'm so bad at crimes so…I've been inspired of a work of William Somerset Maugham, may be if I ever get to invent a good crime…I'll change this part to my own … but for now I think it's good…tell me what you think of it…of course I didn't copy the play of this famous author…I was just inspired of the fact that a mother can kill her son who was cheated in love…that's all…but I've added my own touch too…anyway please review and tell me what you think…this is a primary chapter which means the good ones are coming soon…just after this…a high probability of a love story ! Wow I just forgot…the idea of cyanide poison being put in coffee instead of sugar was inspired from another fiction called sweet tea which was removed ( I can't find it anywhere to review it) from the website…I don't own the idea anyway…but I liked it so I used…again I DO NOT OWN IT
