After a few hours , Philippe wakes up at the hospital . With a more than slight headache . Seated next to him in personal room was a familiar figure .
Hello , He said to Philippe
Well , hello . He responded
I did not think you were a officer sir . Philippe said to the Stout man
I do not give an impression of an officer straight away ? The stout man Joked
Philippe smiled at him . With a hand over his head trying to figure where the pain was coming from
Alex came a bit closer to Philippe .
You now son , he said . The impact should have killed you . It would have easily killed anyone .
But look at you , not even a bump .
Can I have a look , Alex said
Before Philippe could agree to Alex's request
Alex starts to investigate the back of Philippe's head . Making Philippe a bit uneasy
See, not even a bump .
And this makes me suspicious son .
Philippe looks into the eyes of Alex
Alex quickly looks away
So , I'm also here to investigate the Crash that occurred at the opening yesterday
Can you give me a report on what happened . As far as you can remember
Not required to squeeze your brain Philippe , said Alex
Philippe begins to narrate the investigation in the Hospital room .
Alex then takes down notes and asks him questions when required
Suddenly a nurse enters the room with coffee and hands it over to them
You too sir , She says to Philippe
You can drink it too . You are perfectly fine she adds
The both men take a sip of their coffee
So Philippe , Alex continues . Did you have a look at who was inside the cockpit of the craft . i know it is too muck to ask .
No , no sir . Philippe replies . I could not have a look inside . I did try , though the hovercraft came in too fast . it was impossible for me to have a peak inside
Understood , Alex says . As he completes his notes
Philippe . Says Alex . As he puts his note down and his tone gets more serious
There is something strange that has occurred .
What is the occurrence , Philippe asks
We retrieved the black box of the craft. And as you can see , Philippe with the black box comes a serial number and the makers information also
Yes , I have read about the black box .
So , Alex continues
A couple of weeks ago . around 50 fleets were stolen . A little distance away from the District .
And the serial number of the Black box matches with one of the serial number of the fleet that was stolen .
And co-incidentally , I'm investigating both the fleet stolen matter and this one .
What you are implying Mr. Alex is that the person who stole the fleets crashed into the building as well
That's exactly what I'm saying .
And what makes it strange Sir , Philippe asks
There was a person at the office yesterday . An Atticus
He was the one I'm investigating with the stolen fleets .
He could be the one who stole it sir , Philippe sits firmly
No , not at all . Alex replies
He is the engineer who reported the theft .
Then why are you investigating sir . Asks Philippe
There is a police officer who was his friend . A Chris , Alex says . He succumbed to his death at the scene
A Chris , the name sounds familiar . And a police office too . Philippe thinks out loudly
Alex choosing to completely ignore that that information , continues to talk
So the investigation has completely taken a turn . It has turned into a murder investigation .
Are you close to finding out who the murderer is . and he must be involved with the theft and the crash as well
Bingo , Alex says to Philippe
This is where it gets really peculiar . Says Alex as his face lights up
This Atticus . he seems to be hiding something
Some very valuable information . And we cannot take him into custody and investigate him thoroughly . A warrant simply will not be issued
Philippe excitedly raises a valid point . Could Atticus be the murders
Atticus the murderer . The thief and the man who crashed into the location
Well of course , Philippe replies
He is a simple engineer , and how can he do all these things . Unless .
Unless , The chief continues . He has help , and a lot of it
Yes , that could be it . Philippe says
Take care , Philippe . Says Alex as he leaves Philippe to his room .
And if you see something spooky . you let me know . Alex joked
Spooky , Philippe let out a laughter .
Sure sir , I will let you know .
Alex leaves the room
