Another case of murder

Chapter 26

Harry's POV

"He lost the election" I said

I was seated on a stool with my laptop on the kitchen island, I was looking for more details on brown

I felt Lee loom over me, she smelt divine as always, like curry and raspberry, and what ever ingredient was in the meal she was preparing

"What? "
"Brown, he lost that election, he had a 97% chance of wining earlier during the race, had loads of supporters, great manifesto but everything went south when his affair went public"
"The thing went public? "
"Lena exposed the whole thing, am guessing her own way to make him pay"
"Wow, you might not be wrong after all cause this gives him motive"
"Exactly, and politicians are known to be dirty, and he seemed obsessed with wining, I mean look at videos from his rally"

Mr Brown's campaign was good, and he was putting on a strong family, I love my wife to death front.
So finding out he was an adulterer who cheated on his wife with her sister wasn't a good look because if there is one thing humans hate, its hypocrites.

The comments under most of the videos were not helpful at all

I hope he rots in hell

He doesn't deserve a dick

He is the most shameless human with a dick

I can't believe we breath the same air

The list goes on, and i couldn't help but wonder why these people feel its okay to be this cruel to a fellow human being, don't get me wrong, am not saying what he did was right especially for someone of his status, but still, we do worst things to people everyday.
The main emotion that Lena must have felt was betrayal, disappointment, anger, sadness but everyday we inflict the same pain on someone directly or passively, so what exactly makes us any better than brown

"The comments are savage" Lee says as she leans down to peer closely at them
"I mean look at this" she said pointing at a gif in the comment box of a little cartoon figure being hung upside down, its head comes off its body as blood fills the whole screen, this was sick
What was even more disturbing was the look on the characters face, the accentuated pressure on the ropes as they squeezed the life out of the figure, his eyes rolled to the back of this skull, as his head comes of its neck.

I close my laptop immediately as I felt goose bumps wash over me

"I feel sorry for him " Lee said as she placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed lightly
"No one deserves that " I muttered
Lee must have noticed the mortified look on my face as she tried to divert my attention
"Well, you need to taste this soup for me, no matter what I do it still just tastes bland" she whines as she feeds me a spoonful of hot soup, I swallowed immediately as it burns its down my throat
"Hey, do you want to scald tongue off" I scolded
She smiled "so, does it need salt? " she asked
"Well I need to taste it again"
She sighed dramatically
"Forget it, set the table for me" she said

It was another day in the office, a very busy one, the lines were buzzing, the atmosphere as rowdy as ever and tge temperature was not helping it most be like 87 degrees in here, heat always put people in a foul mood. Lee had visited the coffee machine more times than I can count now she was humped above me as we went through Lena's phone record, nothing seemed out of place except a message from her husband months back, it read

Hope you are happy now bitch, you have it all.

It wasn't a threat but it had all the red flags flying as Lee and I were still deliberating on the text
"Detectives? "
Lee and I looked up, my eyes met a familiar face, can't pin where I saw her though, she must have read my confusion
"Lydia from Lena's case, the forensic at house? "
She explained
"Oh Lydia"
The girl that Lee almost killed with her eyes
Speaking of Lee, she just stood stiff beside me
"Can I help you with anything? "
"Yes, we found a button"
She said as fished out a button in a transparent evidence bag
I took it from her and examined it, this must have come from a very expensive limited edition clothing, I couldn't tell if it was a female/ male wear. Talk about killing in style.

"I would give you any new updates" she said and left

This new discovery was getting me excited, at last a lead and this time something tangible

"Guess our killer was not so careful after all" Lee said
I couldn't help the smirk
