Chapter 232: Speculations Part 2
Ravi looked at Arlen who looked back at him. The mystery man beside Mary Taylor was looking more like a suspect with each passing moment.
"We have found evidence that Mary Taylor was indeed dating a man before her death. We went to some of the restaurants they had dined in and one of the waters was able to give us a physical description. He is about 5’10 and has a slender build. He is described as very handsome with brown hair and green eyes." Arlen said, summarizing their investigation this morning.
He wrote it down on the board and then continued, "Do not pay much mind to his hair and eyes, if this is a killer who approached Mary Taylor with the intention of killing her, he could have dyed his hair or worn contact lenses. Tomorrow morning, Officer Adams would be in charge of re-interviewing all the connections around Mary Taylor again, I don’t believe none of them have seen a man around her." He looked at Korra for her to continue as he drew a huge question mark on the face of the mystery man.
Korra nodded, "If his build is slender and he does not have much strength, it would make sense why he needed the drugs to control the victims. Two of the victims, Avery Hall and Riley Allen had a heavier dosage than others, Officer Brown did a preliminary investigation on the two victims yesterday and we learned that the two of them had been consistent with athletics when they were in high school. Hall played football and Allen was the captain of her school’s wrestling teams before she dropped out to take care of her sick father."
"He was really scouting them. Otherwise, where would he learn that kind of information."
"Downtown, everyone knows everyone. If he stayed around the club then he must have been the friendly kind that can get information easily. Once you are not seen as an outsider, you would be told everything that you want to know."
"So someone who can easily fit in, blend in." Ravi muttered and Arlen wrote it on the board.
Korra continued, "Most tranquilizers used in crime are tranquilizers for horses or dogs. This tranquilizer is different. It is tailored for humans, we tried to track it down and it is normally supplied to hospitals in Alstria. I suggest that tomorrow, we would start making calls to know if any of the hospitals reported a theft. As for the second drug, I believe it would be one of the keys in finding this killer."
Everyone sat up, focusing on her with rapt attention.
