OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 80
“We rarely come across bad fakes, but we can’t say the same about good fakes.”, comments a person watching the broadcast.About a month later Veteran detective Santiago, with graying, thinning hair, is sitting impatiently in a comfortable armchair in the waiting room of a sophisticated police department located in a prime area of the center of the capital.Days before, he had been hired by a mysterious client and received an advance that happened to arrive at the right time.Now here he was following his instinct and taking the initial step into private investigation.The building, at the address that was routine for the old man, was completely renovated a few years ago, little resembling the police department where the detective worked for decades and established an excellent reputation until the day he retired.Now he sits in the same place that any civilian citizen would sit to wait to be served, that is, in front of the door to the boss's office.It's been about an hour, and d

"You here...? What a surprise!”, the delegate is surprised when he sees his former professional colleague again.He had come to open the door to make sure he was really who he thought he was. "Good morning my friend...!" greets Santiago, without hiding his euphoria at seeing Garcia.He did not imagine that upon seeing his name on the attendance record, the now police chief of the central police station would get up and come and call him personally.The two hug and enter next to each other, closing the door immediately afterwards. Soon Garcia asks the clerk to leave the room for a moment, thinking about having an unofficial and relaxed conversation with his long-time friend.“I still don't know what motivates him to work in an area that I, out of consideration, committed myself to taking away from him. Not because I believed he wasn't productive, but because of his health and..., after the incident with his wife.”, Garcia claims.“I’m grateful for that and I also accepted it due to fo

“A good opportunity to put this document at the bottom of a drawer and stay at home enjoying retirement Santiago.”, says the police chief.“Do what... isn’t it...?That's the only thing I've learned... and that even though it's gone, it's still inside me. You know my friend that I still have the feeling that I was removed when I believed I could do more...You are my friend... that's why I believe you did what you did... for my good. But that doesn't lead me to believe that it was at the right time and, yes, that it was earlier... than I expected.After all, “how can I be what you say I am, without doing what I do best...”, reasons the old man, feeling useless.“Humans sometimes surprise us, even though they are also human. How many times do our commitments contradict our opinions, Santiago? How many times does this happen in our lives?Maybe what is contradictory today, can make sense at the right moment, friend... after all... there is nothing like time, to prove at the right time,

“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
