Chapter 16
Meanwhile...
Back at Ridgemount Town police station -
"Excuse me sir, do you have a valid reason to grope a woman and throw a stone at the police officer??" Rachel asks the guy they captured.
"No, Madam." He replied.
It's literally nearly 11pm, Rachel and Eric are both worn out after chasing a possible thief culprit which they encounter back then....
"Ok, I don't take excuses for your talks sir. Now tell me your purpose of causing harm to an officer and sexually harassing a woman" Eric asks in a stern tone.
"My name is Charlie Garvino, I am an ex-employee of PrimeTine co & Bar." The man said, removing his hood.
The two of them look at each other as neither of them are expecting this....
"Ok...." Rachel responds, totally speechless on the man's words.
"Look here sir! We don't capture a random guy to spill about their life to us ok. We capture you because you have just violated the society rule. We serve justice for the victims and---" He continued but got interrupted by the culprit.
"THEN HOW ABOUT MY NIECE!" The man suddenly shouted, causing the both of them to flinch on his sudden outburst. Two other police officers manage to hold him back and cuff him as he stands up and starts getting violent....
"My niece...*sniff*..... was sexually harassed by.... Joshua. When she is working part-time during her second year of high school." The man said.
After that, there is a long pause.
Then Rachel spoke up again.
"Did your niece lodge a police report about this matter?" She asks, in a more concerned tone...
"Yes, she did.... but the man denied his deed" He replied.
"Would you mind telling us about it?" Eric asks.
The man did and began to tell them the whole story...

The next day....
Ridgemount Town police station -
"He is also in the wrong too. Even if the guy denies his deed, he has no right to punch his boss" Susan said.
"That's his boss after all...." Sue said next, repeating the word boss again to emphasize that Joshua still has more authority over their current culprit.
Eventually after a whole night of interrogations on this whole double case, the group did indeed have new findings. However they still find nowhere on finding who is the killer....
The group however learns that Joshua Martin does have an alibi for that night, 28th April. The night where Susan O'Dillar is killed. Again he has an alibi for the 9th May too, where the night the 2nd victim Mandy Owens is killed.
Through Ri-Huan and Susan, they both learn that Joshua is a guy that favors ladies over men. More or less can state that he is a womanizer, but not a killer itself.
"So what is it about this sexual harassment report made last night by the guy you two arrest?" John asks.
The group now is at Ri-Huan's table while discussing the details of last night.
"Eventually me and Eric are hanging out at the back of the kitchen, waiting for any stuff to come and so we could ask them a few questions regarding our main suspect." Rachel said, with a rather pissed expression.
"Yap. We were waiting when that guy literally threw a stone across the bushes and groped a lady" Eric said, having the same expression as Rachel.
"You know what guys..." Sue suddenly questions.
"If... Joshua is not the killer.... then who could it be?" She asked them.
Everybody was silent for a moment until Ri-Huan spoke up.
"Guys... do you find it weird?" He asked the group.
"If Sally is the main victim, then why does the killer want to murder Mandy too?" He asked them again.
"Dork. Since the start I have been really curious about this already." Eric said to him.
"Ok, going back to my question, what is it with the guy you two arrested and rant on his niece's sexual harassment that happen... like four years ago?" Susan asks.
"He claims that his niece told him that she was sexually groomed and harassed by Joshua four years ago when she was working as a part-time waitress there. At that time he didn't know that his niece was working part-time there, until one day he saw her at the bar counter there..." Eric said.
"At that time he was working as a chef over there. However on multiple occasions, He could see his boss being close to his niece and trying to touch her... Well eventually the niece goes and reports it to the police but the man denies his deed" Rachel continues.
"What the heck? That guy is.... argh never mind." Susan sigh
"Where is the man you all mention?" Sue asks both of them.
"Still at the interrogation room, madam." Eric said.
"Me and Eric will interrogate the man once again, Rachel and John, re-examine the corpses once again and do a general testing on it. Susan and Ri-Huan, try to go through a thorough look at the two victim information once again." Sue commands the group.
Then everybody gets into their respective duties.
