"If Mandy has a house of her own... Do you think Sally also has a house of her own too" Ri-Huan questioned his partner.

"Yes, she has! Take a look." Susan exclaimed, going through the case file once again.

Eventually after sending the old couple off, the two of them go through another check on the case file. Thanks to the light on her desktop, Susan eventually saw the missing details they missed out.

She then passes the file to her partner to see the missing detail...

Ri-Huan took the file from her and scanned through.... indeed they missed it. The words are so small he needs to squint his eyes to read it.

"Hey guys! I found something!" A voice exclaimed suddenly, interrupting their focus.

They whipped their heads to see John jogging towards them.

"What did you find?" Ri-Huan question.

"Through examining the bodies once again, we realize that Sally's stomach is slightly bloated. At first when we touched it, I thought it was some sort of food contained inside...

However... I'm wrong" He finishes.

He swallowed as he announced some really unexpected findings to them.

"Then what is it?" Ri-Huan asked him.

"F-fetus" He announced.

Basically it took both Ri-huan and Susan some time to absorb the information. After a while their eyes widened in realization of what he just told them....

"Fetus!?" They both exclaim in shock.

A few days later - 

"Do you think this can be ruled as a homicide case?" Eric asks the group.

Skip to a new day, the group now are heading to the first victim's house location. In Sue's van.

A few days ago, John found a fetus inside their first victim's stomach, while Rachel came back to them with the result from the forensic lab.

The lab deducts alcohol through both their victims' teeth and they learn that Sally's virginity is stolen through the test screening.

They learn that the fetus is four months old and it is possible that it can belong to her boyfriend's.

"Possible, but this is more of killing two birds with one stone," John said.

"More like killing three birds with two stones" Ri-Huan chips in from the backseat.

"But then.... if that young lead is really Joshua's unborn child... Then why does he want to murder her and the child? Shouldn't he be happy?" Rachel questions them.

"Unless... The child is not his?" John fired another question to the group.

"Why do I feel like this case is kind of fishy?" Susan said.

Basically her words are met with silence, then the group once again becomes quiet....

Thirty-Five minutes later...

Gradually after the whole ride the group finally reach their said destination.

They exit from the car and start walking towards the apartment building. Upon arriving they were stopped by the security guard.

"May I ask whom you are looking for?" He asked them.

They then show the guard their name cards and the guard nodded and let them in, upon approval from the building owner itself to have a search warrant of the victim's house.

They arrive at the apartment and are greeted by two other officers. Then the group immediately started the search of the house.

Inside Green Richa apartment level 9 unit 7...

Through the search the team analyzes the whole detail of the scene and collects the items related to the case...

"The house doesn't seem to have any break-in traces" Eric commented, observing the whole place.

"More like the person has not been living here for months" Sue said.

Sue then checked through the drawer and found a book inside. The book more or less looks like those old fashion notebooks. Curious about it, she picks it up and dust it away then gets her partner's attention.

"Look"

"What's this?" He asked her.

"How should I know?" She replied back.

Eventually they flip through the book and realize it is somebody's diary.

"I feel like inval---" Eric began to speak when one of their teammates, Tracy came to them.

"We got a problem here"

"Ah huh?"

"Ah.... The landlord is here, and she told us that ah the owner has not been paying her the monthly rent of this apartment" she told them.

"Who is the owner of this ah apartment? Sue asks, not wanting to have any misunderstanding.

"She says is a lady named Sally O'Dillar" Tracy answered.

"You mean that Sally that we've been investigating has not been paying her rent to the owner for months?" Sue questions her, to clarify the situation.

"Yap," the other replied back.

Both Sue and Eric exchange looks as they were taken aback by this sudden information given to them, however time is not on their side. Sue immediately receives a call too.

"Yes...?"

"Ok.... sure."

"Could you please ask them to wait there for a while, I will send someone over" She said to the other line.

"What happened?" The two asked in unison, as soon as she ended the call.

She turned to them and grimly replied.

"Sally's parents came to identify the victim's body" she told them.
