RE: SteemShort #1 - Post 2: Request for the Middle Part of the Story

in #steemshorts7 years ago

Honorable Sobi Johnson sat in his hotel room, watching the news. On the table in front of him was a bottle of Krystal champaign and a half filled glass. When he saw the caption on the news, he slowly raised the remote control and raised the volume of the television. Suddenly, his fear was confirmed. Chief Benson was dead. It was the work of the ruling cabals, he thought.

The police must be in a hurry now to uncover the truth behind the killing before the election. He called the chief of police on his cell phone.

"Hello, chief," I just saw the news. "What can you tell me?"

"Honorable, it is terrible. The evidence points to this being a directed assassination due to political reasons. The killers went away with the Chief's application form for the electoral position. So for all intents and purposes, Senator Henry is the prime candidate for the party. One thing troubles me: why was the wife spared? I suspect that everything she witnessed was a facade. One thing is sure, Chief Benson is dead and there are no leads in the investigation except that only Senator Henry has motive and means."

Thank you for your valid summary.
