about him?’ asked Alicia .
    ‘About Jade?’
    ‘Right’
    ‘He was good, a faithful man. I can’t say anything more about him than that’
    ‘Thank you , Mr. Jameson .That’ll do.’ Said Alicia ‘My apologies for wasting much of your valuable time’
    ‘Never mind that, Detective’
    They stood up and made their way out of the room but just before they could catch the elevator, they were again blocked by his assistant Henricks.
    ‘You might want to take this with you’ he showed them a printed list of all the names with their position of work , degrees they had and other things about the company . ‘Here’s all the names, I haven’t left anything out, I believe’
    ‘Thank you’ said Alicia taking the folded slip .
    ‘Well may I ask you a question Mr. Henricks?’ Kevin said suddenly.
    ‘Yeah ?’
    ‘Can you tell if someone here would want to kill Jade Carter?’
    ‘No’ he said flatly ‘I’m afraid I can’t’
    ‘And...—’
    ‘Come on ,let’s go’ said Alicia as she knew that even if this man knew about someone with any strange intention, he would not so easily let it out. So basically , it’s just wasting time talking to him. She knew there were still leads available to chase, and they should stop wasting their time.
    ‘Just a minute’ said Kevin to Alicia and continued ‘And do you know what was he working on ?’
    ‘I don’t’ Clyde replied in the same style as he used previously.
    ‘Okay’ said Kevin with a disgusted look.
    ‘But yes,’ he said ‘I think I can help you in some other way , for sure’
    ‘And what would that be?’
    ‘I can give you the name of someone who might know something about this man, Jade Carter’
    ‘What’s the name?’
    ‘Paul Brown, his name is also on the list’
    Kevin was just in time to catch the elevator.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    NINE
     
     
     
        ‘It’s becoming a lot easier , isn’t it?’ said Kevin as they stepped outside the building . ‘Now that we got a name, if we can get the man Paul Brown then he will be able to clear it all for us.’
    ‘We don’t know yet if he really knows anything’ said Alicia absent-mindedly’
    ‘He is his partner. Sure he will know everything, whatever they were working on’
    ‘Even he might be the guilty one’ said Ryan .
    ‘What makes you think so?’ asked Alicia.
    ‘I don’t know. But usually this partners become jealous over each other for something. So one day they will quarrel heavily and will end up killing each other’
    ‘Then there must be a reason to feel jealous over someone’
    ‘Sure and there will be. There must be some inner conflicts going on between them that resulted in this, murder’
    ‘Huh, slow down. You are talkin’ like you’re sure , that’s what happened’ said Kevin.
    ‘Wait, you said’ Alicia must have found a flaw ‘They will end up killing each other. So you mean they both are dead?’
    ‘I’m not saying that’ said Ryan as he drove the car and kept his eyes on the street.
    ‘But if they really got involved in a fight then at least one could have died and that can be our victim’
    ‘So you say that Paul Brown killer Carter?’
    ‘Yes’
    ‘That sounds like an amateurish theory’
    ‘One minute’ said Kevin ‘I remembered somethin’ , did they give the address?’
    ‘Yes . They did’
    ‘Let me see’ Alicia had written it on the phone so Kevin took her phone and opened that address page.
    ‘Hmm.... it’s not too far’
    ‘Of course not.’
    ‘But whatever the address is, my theory seems to be the right one’ Ryan bragged about it.
    ‘Not a chance’
    ‘Why don’t we stop this and just drop at the garage from where he took the car' Ryan changed the topic.
    ‘Okay , so where is the garage?’ asked Alicia.
    ‘Right around the corner’
    ‘Great, let’s check it out.’

    They parked their car on the left side as they crossed the road and came to the other side, and found the
