《The Software Detective》2.6 Find the clues
Advertisement
I started hopping from side to side, doing some punches in the air. I needed to be on the top of my game right now. This is my first actual case and now it's my time to shine. This will be no different from the hotel or the mansion, or the rigorous training I went through with the FBI. I was going to solve this case and end this psychopath's killing spree.
Tapping my smart glasses, I turned them into CSI mode. I put on a pair of gloves and kneeled in front of Bruno's cadaver. Instantly the glasses went to work examining the body. The first detection was the finger grips around his neck. Clear signs of strangulation. Judging from the angle, Bruno was strangled by someone taller than him. If I remember correctly, when Artyom was walking next to Boipelo, he had been the taller of the two. I tapped the glasses to see if they could find fingerprints still left on the body.
Without a second delay, there was a match. The fingerprints belonged to Artyom. I checked why his fingerprints were in the system. It looks like he is a registered pharmacy technician and registered with TSA pre-check. If my training didn't tell me to examine everything, I would have stopped there. This was an experienced killer that has escaped the law of multiple times. He wouldn't have made it this easy.
I stood up and saw that the urine in the toilet bowl was dark, almost brown color. Artyom also mentioned that he was Bruno's personal trainer, so he knew probably that he was not in the best physical health, which would have made it easy for Artyom to overpower and kill him.
Not to mention he was already planning to betray him. What better way to launch his channel with the death of his employer, no controversy needed, and he can get all of Bruno's previous subscribers instantly?

A notification appeared on my glasses. There was an arrow pointing towards the toilet. Now staring at the porcelain throne, a message appeared next to it alerting me to test the urine. There's no need to test it right now, besides this case is solved and we will catch his killer when the train reaches its next stop.
I looked back over at Bruno, and he was in a pretty sad state. He died with his pants around his ankles. He wore flip-flops so I could see how swollen his feet and ankles were. His Eyes were bloodshot, but there was also blood from the back of his head. Looking up, I could see the trail leading down to where he was now sitting on the floor. Artyom mush have bashed his head against the wall to get him to stop struggling.
An announcement came from the loudspeaker "Hello passengers, we will arrive at the next stop shortly. For those that need to go to a stop further down the line, you will need to switch trains. Thank you for riding with us and have a great day." The conductor said.
I tapped my earpiece. "Artyom is the killer moderator. We need to find him and arrest him." I walked out of the bathroom stall and closed the door behind me.
