The
Mysterious Night in Hanson Mansion
I.
Detective
Clinton was sitting on his comfortable, leather chair in his office. Those
couple days were extremely hot. While sipping his decaffeinated coffee, he
decided to turn on the air condition. He straightened up and tried to reach the
remote of air condition with his left hand. Suddenly the telephone started to
ring painfully and he startled. The coffee on his right hand poured on his legs
above the knee. He jumped up and three of his trinkets fell down with his left
hand’s accidently touching. They fell to pieces on ground. Those three trinkets
were most significant things in his life. The one which seems like a drummer
was his best friend’s gift. The one which represents a masai was his first
love’s, wife’s gift and the one which looks like a woman head was her
daughter’s gift. After he lost all of them in an accident, these three trinkets
became much more valuable than they really are. He lifted the receiver of the
phone while trying to figure out what just happened in last three seconds. After
he listened carefully the voice at the phone, his face took a shape that cannot
be described. “I am on my way.” He said.
Mr. Hanson
was the richest resident of their town and he was an old friend of Detective
Clinton. Now Detective Clinton was trying to collect evidence nearby his old
friend’s dead body. There were three chestnuts. Two of them were in Mr. Hanson’s
left palm and the other one was on his throat. He seemed to be got drowned.
After Detective Clinton looked over the body, the swelling of his head which
other detectives couldn’t see, caught his attention. Detective Clinton said: “I
want to speak everybody who works in his house. Immediately…” At the same time
a scream came from upstairs. Maid Rose yelled: “Someone call an ambulance!” She
continued: “Ms. Lora committed suicide.” Ms. Lora was Mr. Hanson’s helper
angel. He always tells her: “Lora, what I would've done without you?” and he
was right. Lora was hard-worker personnel. She was presiding over the company's
entire business. Also they were really good friends since they met in the
university. While doctors trying to do the emergency action, Alisha; Mr.
Hanson’s young, beautiful wife came in. “What is happening in here?” “Could
someone tell me?”
II.
After 2 weeks later. Detective Clinton was hitting
his left palm with a ruler which standing on his right hand and he asked “Why
she committed a suicide?” Detective Roy answered: “Because she was a real
friend Clinton. I hope she can get through it. By the way while you were in
Europe, Detective Jen and I demystify Mr. Hanson’s file. It was a murder not a
simple case drowning. After you left, we got a box by mail which tells us an
address and a time. Also there was a little canoe and a minimized figure of a
house. We went there with Jen and across a river by a canoe and we went to address
which was the exact same house of the one that we received. We get inside of
the house and we saw Mr. Hanson’s young wife and her lover. Also the hair
example that we got from Mr. Hanson’s body is 100% compatible with Alisha’s
lover.” He stubbed out his cigarette on a small plate which has colorful leaf
figures on it. “So why you still didn’t seal it with your famous one which has
your name in Chinese on the top of it? Isn’t it obvious, Clinton? Alisha and
her lover try to get all of his money?” “Let me explain, Roy.” Detective
Clinton said.
III.
Detective Clinton took out his last Euros from his
wallet and he said: “I bet all the money in my wallet, someone was trying to
direct us since the beginning of the murder.” “I was in Europe to find out who
sent that box to you and Jen. Also I found a broken jar in the mansion’s
waste container. I sent it to laboratory with the blanket that was near to Mr. Hanson’s
body. Also I had a short but very useful conversation with old, faithful,
secretive servant. All evidences predict a single person. Ms. Lora!” Detective
Roy was surprised. “She sent that box with a late request to you from Europe.
Also the broken jar was the reason of Mr. Hanson’s swelling. She hit his head
with it then she put those chestnuts into their places. She cleaned the ground
but she forgot to clean blanket which still has some piece of jar and her blood
that transmitted from her finger. Then she tried to put some evidences that
will take us to Alisha and her lover. Also she got those sleeping pills which
doesn’t have any serious side effects rather than helps you to sleep for 2
weeks.” “B, bu, but why?” Roy asked. “Mr. Hanson’s faithful servant helped me
on that point. He mentioned me about a night for a month ago. The night that
Ms. Lora gave up hiding her feelings to Mr. Hanson.” Detective Roy confused.
“Roy couldn’t you filled the puzzle? She killed him because she didn’t get the
response that she expects. Then she discovered Alisha and her lover. She told
what she knows to Mr. Hanson on the night that Mr. Hanson died but Mr. Hanson didn’t
believe her. After all of that when she saw, he still choice Alisha, she had a jealousy
attack. You already know what did happen after that.” Mr. Clinton smiled and he
took out his lucky coins. “Maybe it's time to give them to you.”
