OPPOSITE TWINS The Origin of the Lady... CHAPTER 95
“It's Becca, you might be right....Sometimes a younger mind like yours brings a point of view from another angle... and, in some cases, that's what we need to get a panoramic view of something that was previously only seen from the inside out...” the old detective admits in part.“I'm glad you're giving me the chance to express myself.And giving yourself the chance to see that everything fits together, boss... Think about it:A change in the system that restricts the freedom of private investigation comes in handy in cases of cover-up of crimes by the biased police system itself.It is a fact that most crimes are caused by simple, poor people with little or no education and, perhaps, because these people represent the majority in our country and in many others as well.And this criminal class, of simple people, usually uses escape to avoid suffering the penalties of the law.But it is not the lack of education or financial resources that leads someone to commit crimes. The factors a

The next dayIn the same place and at the same corner table in the restaurant.“What happened boss...? But one time I was worried about calling you and your phone seemed to be disconnected or out of range...” asks Rebecca, having been “watching ships” since the previous day.“My wife had been rescued and, in order not to waste time, I didn't tell you beforehand. The reason for the lack of contact is that I hadn't put my cell phone on charge, so I couldn't tell you. But you already know that when I change direction it's because of her. She is my life!”, explains the old man to the assistant.“How is she at the moment…”, she wants to know and is already expecting good news or at least not so bad considering that the boss is calm.""Stable". It is the term that for me has become synonymous with “good”, as I have never heard a better term from doctors than that since her diagnosis.”, laments the old man, showing comfort.“In this case, I will also take the same approach as you, but only u

“Changing the subject a little:You were saying something to me yesterday and I interrupted you because of the emergency with my wife.”, remembers the old man.“About Alejandro’s fiancée...?”, she asks, also seeming to not remember."Yes. It seems to have been about herself”, confirms the detective.“Sorry for the question boss. Was it our client who suggested starting the investigation by talking to the model and... the DP...?“Well, to be honest I just followed my intuition...No, it wasn't hers...”, the old man confesses after stuttering and somewhat reluctantly.“I imagined it, because if it were hers, it would have been contradictory compared to the secrecy, she wants us to maintain”, the assistant was not surprised that the idea came solely from her boss.“And I didn’t even warn her that I intended to do this. No, it's because I didn't have time for that.After she gave me the suspect's name, which she demands that our investigation start with him, I went to read about him and,

“Sorry boss, but I didn’t understand. What do you mean?”, she asks.“Well, what if our investigation is based on a single theory from our client? Nothing stops her from being on the wrong side, right...?”, insinuates the investigator in light of the facts.“Continue boss... I still haven't got your message...”, asks the assistant, in reality she could already deduce it, but she prefers him to be very clear.“Who can guarantee us that we are not in a case where our client has a personal or even passionate reason against Alejandro and wants us to find the necessary elements that she can use against him, denigrating him, tarnishing his image...?Sorry if I'm going to sound sexist, but that's not my intention. Women have done something like this much more often than we might imagine.Even if later on, during the appeals process, it is proven that he is innocent, some damage will always remain, leading some to believe until they die that it was the amount, he invested that obscured the tru

Hours later“Rebecca...”, says the boss via a phone call.“Hi boss. I'm sorry I haven't called you yet..., but I'm still running out of time and I still...”, She tries to give an explanation.“I'm glad you didn't call me... and the deadline to be fired has passed... so technically you're still my assistant investigator.And I hope it lasts as long as you want…” says the old man smiling.“Does that mean you’ve given up on disconnecting me from the case and sending me to the land of... I don’t know where?” she asks, without hiding her happiness.This version was the one her boss chose to keep her friend alive. Even though I still believe that she is at risk of dying during the investigations.On the other hand, it seems more promising than being killed outright.Without going into details, he leaves the assistant believing that he must have a safety plan or simply changed his mind about the possibility of the risk.The tone that the contractor has used in recent conversations with the d

The old detective turns his attention to his colleague's drama and says, “I'm sorry for your situation and... I hope that one day you will find what you want or need to satisfy your emotional needs.”, concludes the investigator and then pays attention to what she seems to have on the case.“So can we continue here, boss...?”, she asks, quickly wiping away her tears.“Yes, of course...!”, she says while taking a sip of coffee, just as she had already taken.The old man seems calm knowing that he only has to worry about his wife, himself and the assistant, as there is no longer the possibility of suffering for the safety of the assistant's possible relatives.“My theory, or if you wish... another one of my... theories. There was an interval of approximately one year from one victim to the next.Counting from June 20th of each month. And not just a few random months as was stated in the files...”, she reveals.“What do you mean...?”, the old man doesn’t understand.“Let me see if I can e

The two remain silent for a few moments. She worries more and more about her boss who proves to be a sprinter in a competition who already feels defeated, even before taking the first steps. Still behind the starting line.“Think about your wife who, despite being in the hands of professionals, sustained her life. This is only possible thanks to her determination to accept this case..., boss...”, she recalls.Listen This is nothing new for the old retiree.Before the assistant presented this scenario and the right thing to do, his conscience had already convinced him to do so after consulting his old heart.“But speaking of a valid motivation, which justifies commitment to a complicated and risky case like this Rebecca, tell me what motivates you to continue even though you seem to be, and in reality, are, much more aware of the complexity of the case than I am. ...?” asks the experienced investigator.“I asked myself that question too, boss.And I would have been left without a convi

“Now it makes sense that you were late. Disappeared in the blink of an eye, appeared only after the model left...”, understands the old man.Knowing that he was deceived by her was a very bad feeling for the old detective, as it went back to some episodes during his police career in which several colleagues deceived, manipulated and even accused him of treason.“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I even wanted to remind you about the importance of being discreet in accordance with what I had already studied and because it was one of the details highlighted by your client and, thus, justifying my absence.But I want to take this opportunity to say that there was still another factor that contributed to my sudden disappearance, which was when I noticed an agent, from the police department you were about to go to... coming towards us...”, she tries to complement and thus justifying even more abandonment to the boss. She made it clear that everything had gotten out of control.Boss, I hope I'
