"He quit?" A voice exclaimed loudly among them.

"My eardrum dude." Another voice spat back.

"Shut up everybody. We need to focus here." A third said.

"Do you want the manager to throw us out?" A fourth said.

Skipping to the next day, the group are crowding around at yet another CCTV monitor room. Instead this time they are at the seafood restaurant where Joshua and Sally are supposed to meet that day.

"Sue. Any idea?" Ri-Huan nudged to their in-charge.

"Excuse me sir! Anybody there??!" Sue walks over to the door and calls out.

A few minutes later, a rather tall but bulky man wearing a set of black uniforms came in.

"How may I help you... ahm... officers." He asked.

Eventually the group knew that they were dressed quite informal despite them having their usual cards. With them wearing plain clothes and hanging around like a group of high schoolers, they can pass for a usual group of friends hanging out instead.....

Not some crime detectives investigating a murder case....

Anyways, this is part of their jobs. Go un-notice. So that they can carry out the investigation nice and neat.

"Thanks for letting us check your restaurant and CCTV. Sorry for the interruption. May I ask, is it ok if we take April's set back? I mean borrow?..... If not, do you have a copy of it?" Sue asks.

"Oh. Yes we do have a copy of it. Do you want me to give you guys now?" He ask us after answering the previous question.

"Sure. Thanks a lot."

With a nod the guy walked off.

"When did Lemi Gevato quit his job?"

"He is supposed to leave his job next week. However he leaves around like two week earlier. Starting here, he has some urgent matters and needs to leave as soon as possible. " Ri-Huan read the statement out loud.

"Weird...." Keith commented. Totally speechless, as nobody has expected him to quit his job, out of sudden.

"Doesn't that make him more suspicious?" Tracy asks out loud, voicing her thoughts.

"I am thinking of the same too." Eric chip in.

"What's even weirder is what is this urgent matter that makes him want to quit his job as soon as possible...?" Susan states her question.

Her question is then met with silence...

"Ok. Ri-Huan. Please show us the CCTV clips" Sue instructed the young guy sitting nearest to the monitor screen.

Two hours later ~

"Wait. Pause" Sue exclaimed.

"Re-wind back" She instructed next.

Ri-Huan did as ordered and rewound back....

"Anybody notice something is off about this video?" She then proceeded to ask the group.

"Nope.... Is just a man asking a lady something." Rachel pointed out.

"Enlarge it, wait, make it slightly at a slower speed." Sue instructed again.

They then re-watch the whole video again.

Inside the video a man suddenly walks up to a lady and they begin talking. seems to be pointing towards the road. Then the lady talks to him for a while, and is about to leave. The man called the lady again.

Whilst he took out his hat....

And the lady seemed to stop there for a while in that position....

They could see the two then suddenly ended up having a heated argument.

The lady stepped back and started walking in fast-pace, whilst the man followed her...

"So it means she actually didn't go to the restaurant at all for her date?" Rachel question.

"We are not sure yet. We can't be sure it's her?" Eric said.

"It can be anybody." Sue elaborate.

"Any idea?" Susan asks the lady sitting next to her.

After a while a slight smirk forms on Sue's lip. She eventually knows what comes next....

Since we are all here.... Let's go to the seafood restaurant to check out the menu." Sue said.

Everybody look at her dumb founded.

"Ok guys, what I am trying to say is let's go eat there and you know ask the people around too. Since it is already lunch time... wait... kind of passed lunch time already." She expresses out further.

Everybody grinned and suddenly got her idea....
