Camouflages - chapter 2

The police arrived along with the forensic team. There was a loud commotion everywhere as the team was busy searching the house for clues. A huge crowd had gathered outside. Michael being one of the richest men in the town and a renowned businessman, obviously everyone was interested in the proceedings. Soon the two detectives Kevin Johnson and Perry Thomas arrived. The duo was world renowned for solving even the complexes cases which had left others perplexed. The detectives viewed the crime scene. It was clear that it was well planned murder. Kevin said "We would like to talk to each one of you separately".

Jennifer accompanied them to the library. After they were seated she asked them if wanted anything to drink. They agreed on coffee. Andrew served them coffee. Once he was out of the room, Kevin glanced at Jennifer. He coughed. After thinking for some time, he spoke "I have some questions and I hope that you will be honest to let us know everything that can help us in solving this case. I hope your would be interested in seeing your husband's murderer behind the bars. Is it not so?". She nodded. Perry asked "Mrs Jennifer, we believe that you are the second wife of Mr Peterson, Is it not? When did you get married to him and how”. Jennifer replied “I got married to him last year. We met at a restaurant. I had been in London for a short trip then and I dined regularly at that restaurant during my trip. I was curious about this man. He was truly in pain and drank heavily. I felt sympathy for him and started loving him and we got married later”. Perry barked “Then you must have known that he was a millionaire. Isn’t it and you tried to be friendly with him and as expected he fell for you. He was a man in pain and felt solace in whatever was offered”.

More to come....
