Lord of the Mysteries
Chapter 12
Melissa, can you not rub my nose in it… Klein muttered inwardly. He felt a throbbing pain in his head.
The amount of content Klein had forgotten was considered a lot, but neither was it negligible. The interview was in two days, so how could he find the time to make up for it…?
Furthermore, he was involved in such strange paranormal activity, so how would it be possible that he would be in the mood to revise?
Klein gave his sister a perfunctory response and began putting on the appearance of studying. Melissa moved a chair over to sit beside him. With light shining from the gas lamp, she began working on her assignments.
The atmosphere was serene. When it was almost eleven o’clock, the siblings bade each other goodnight and went to bed.
…
Knock!
Knock! Knock!
Poundings on the door roused Klein from his dreams.
He peered out of the window to see the first glimmer of dawn. In a daze, he flipped over and sat up.
“Who is it?”
Look at the time now! Why didn’t Melissa wake me up?
“It’s me. Dunn Smith,” a man with a deep voice outside the door replied.
Dunn Smith? Don’t know him… Klein got off his bed and shook his head as he walked towards the door.
He opened the door to see the gray-eyed police inspector whom he had met the day before standing in front of him.
Alarmed, Klein asked, “Is there something wrong?”
The policeman replied with a stern look, “We found a carriage driver. He testified that you had gone to Mr. Welch’s place on the 27th—the day when Mr. Welch and Ms. Naya died. Furthermore, Mr. Welch was the one who paid for your transportation fees.”
Klein was startled. He did not feel a tinge of fear or guilt that one would expect from having his lies exposed.
It was because he was not even lying. In fact, he was surprised by the evidence provided by Dunn Smith.
On the 27th of June, the former Klein had indeed gone to Mr. Welch’s place. On the night that he returned, he killed himself, the exact same way as Welch and Naya did!
Klein gave a forced smile and said, “This is insufficient evidence. It does not directly prove that I am associated with the death of Welch and Naya. Honestly speaking, I’m also very curious about the whole incident. I want to know what exactly happened to my two poor friends. But… But… I really can’t remember. In fact I have almost completely forgotten what I had done on the 27th. You may find it hard to believe, but I fully relied on the diaries I had written to roughly make a guess that I had gone to Welch’s place on the 27th.”
“You sure have great mental fortitude,” Dunn Smith said while nodding. He showed not a trace of anger; nor was he smiling.
