little wanna-be detective (episode 1)

One day, a Vienna Police officer, Boa invited his friend, Cathy to his office. Cathy is a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Later, Boa got a phone call and being told to be in charge of a case and Cathy is invited to go to the crime scene together.

The case is like this:

5 days ago, there was a beautiful woman living in a mansion where is located at countryside, and being murdered.

There is nothing belonged to murderer at the scene.

Except there is a cigarette at the gate and it seems to be sucked for about one or twice.

Right now, there are two suspects, one is the victim’s lover, a music school’s student. She often brought him home when she was alive. Recently, She had arguments with him all the time. Another suspect is a sewing machine salesman, this people had flirted the victim using sweet words before, but he had been rejected. Both suspects have reason to committee murder, but they have not enough evidence.

Our protagonist, Sam, outside the mansion, saw the cigarette and heard what they said. He is curious who the victim is. He focuses on the conversation between Cathy and Boa. He doesn’t know who they are, but he finds out that they are not busy at all, unlike the others, taking picture and looking for evidence so he decided to focus on their conversation.

Sam thinks "a cigarette cannot prove anything, because anyone can smoke it, but who has a habit of smoking? Who needs to smoke it and then dump it at the gate? Music student cannot smoke at school, so he smokes after school? If the victim wanted to take him to her mansion, then why would he want to smell like he had smoked? That does not make sense, is he addicted to smoking? But wait, would an adult be more likely to smoke than a student?"

"Look like I am wrong. On the other hand, a sewing machine salesman can smoke all the time when they want to rest. Why would he want to smoke before he needs to talk to potential customer". He keeps thinking, his brainstorm never stops but messy and disorganized.

Apparently, there is a test forensics can do to see whether one of them matches the lip print or lip lines on the cigarette. When Boa prepared for that, the psychologist said, “you'd better be quick, I am going to make him confess first.”

"So, who is the murderer? " Sam shocked when he heard what Cathy said.

Sam rushes towards Cathy and asks, "Who?" The analyst shouts at him and told him to leave immediately.

Boa gives a signal to him with a grin, nod and hand waving. Cathy fulfills Sam's desire of knowledge.

She explained, "one thing is for certain, no matter the music student knows if there is an ashtray in the victim's house or not, he will be more likely to dump his cigarette in her house after passing through the gate or before passing through the gate. There are rubbish bins around the mansion. Of course, he can smoke if he wanted even when he is dating the victim because they knew each other so well, but it is unlikely for him to dump the cigarette at the gate. He needs to show respect."

Sam said, it's the salesman."

Cathy replies yes. He threw away the cigarette before talking to his potential customer because he needs to show respect."

Sam said but why did he smoke at the gate?"

Cathy answers that he was waiting for her to open the gate so that he can enter. He smoked while he was waiting."

Sam's brain is not spinning anymore, he admires this lady in front of him. The sunset makes her more like goddess.

Sam realizes he needs a tutor for training, and this lady is exactly the one he is looking for.

Cathy asks, “do you know why the victim let the salesman in after she knew he wanted to flirt with her”?

Sam stutters, “Pro, Probably be, because the victim was not alone”.

Cathy said, “bingo”.

Sam nods, he knows now, the case is not yet solved.
