Yesterday Night (4)

Graslina’s View


After I met James, I was totally confused. After lunchtime, I tried to find Malfoy who is a co-detective to talk about this case. Even though he is an indifferent department, I once had counsel for solutions to my worries, and it actually worked out great. Besides, having two people is better than just one person. The problem was, I couldn’t find him anywhere after lunch. I think I saw him in the morning but I don’t know why everyone says he’s gone. Saying about Malfoy, I have a memory of him as well.

I was a new student at Melbury Highschool. When I first came, I saw Graslina sitting in the second row from the back. I wanted to sit next to her, but there was already a boy sitting next to her. Throughout the semester, I found out that he was her boyfriend. I wasn’t very interested in being a police officer, but I applied to that major to have the same major as her. Yes, I liked her, but I agreed with myself that I went there because I didn’t know where to go. Apart from that, around two weeks before, she came to me to talk about her problems and worries. She told me that she could not contact well with her boyfriend as well as before. She looked sad when she talked about how her relationship with her boyfriend that is getting colder. I was furious when I heard that because I felt I was losing against James. I was at a loss for words when I saw Graslina not willing to let go of her boyfriend even though I think James doesn’t have a heart left for her. I knew that this was my time to confess my love to her. I let go of everything and reminded myself not to be so offended when she doesn’t work except for me. Yes, I did make my confession, but the only thing that returned was her bitter rejection. Even though I knew it was all because of James, I also wanted her to be happy, so I just let her be whatever she wants.

I hope James is not the one who killed his brother. I believe he wouldn’t do such a thing. But the evidence points to only one person, James, and I’m scared. Even though I’m at home and it’s way past my bedtime, I can’t let go of this worry. The next day around 4:00 P.M. I took him to the hypnotist. The thing was, kept waking up. The only thing I saw was James murmuring “I didn’t do” for the rest of his sleep.


The truth always hides behind the doubt. Even if it seems that uncertainty doesn’t change the whole story, I know that little carelessness can lead one person’s life into a different story. It was way past midnight, but I sat up in my chair. I didn’t have time to sleep. I turned on my phone and searched all the pictures I took with James. Then I finally remembered one thing; James loses his memory at a specific time… when somebody talks about his brother or family. So, he was not making up his lost memory purposely, just because he didn’t have an alibi. It didn’t make a big difference, but I was able to sleep that night. When the sun comes out, I will go straight to Malfoy.

Today in the early morning Graslina came to my home. She seemed like she wants some help from me, but I said I was busy. One thing I told her was about the bad relationship between the two twins. I was surprised when she already knew the information. I explained to her that I’d known this information since I was in 12th grade. I once went to James’s house for a project, and I asked him about his resemblance to his after I saw his family picture. After that, he didn’t talk to me for a while. I encouraged her to believe that James is a criminal.

Today at lunchtime, I went to the submitter’s neighbor to search for more clues, and to secure a witness, because when I went again to James’s mother (who is the submitter), she didn’t know anything further about James nor his brother. The only thing I gained from her neighbor was that James was with the other girl recently. Some said James and some said his brother. I believe it wasn’t James because even though I am not sure he still lives near our office, he doesn’t like his mom meaning he doesn’t want to be in the same village.


After lunchtime, I met Malfoy. Since I am a professional detective, I used a recorder to record the conversations.


“Malfoy, do you think James is the criminal?"


“Yes. As I said before, he hates his brother.”


“On that day in the morning when James’s brother died, did you see James’s brother?”


“No.” Suddenly, I thought of the news I saw on the day before the case was submitted. The news was about twins making crimes and putting the guilt on their brother.


“Was James’s brother with the girl?”


“No. he was not”


“How can you know that he wasn’t with anyone when you didn’t see him in the first place?”


I finally went back to my office and started writing down all the stuff that I’d discovered. And I concluded that James’s brother was dead because of Malfoy. Why? It is a long reason and let me explain it. Malfoy’s only enemy was James. Malfoy was mad that James doesn’t care about his girlfriend, or me. When he was passing by, he met James’s brother with his girlfriend. However, Malfoy thought he was James. That’s why Malfoy killed him; he wasn’t able to press down all the anger that suddenly drove him crazy. Maybe his first intention was not murder, but an accident might have happened. After he was murdered, Malfoy knew that he killed the wrong person. However, since Malfoy knew the bad relationship between the twins, he put all the guilt on James.
