Must Read: Cyber lover - Season 1 - Episode 54

“Professor Floyde McLeod is the best brain in
their team, Jack,” Bromsbey filled in for his
young friend. “The theory‟s angle he was
pursuing was seen by the team members as
the most promising before his
disappearance.” “It is even rumored that he
had discovered something of significance
before his wife reported him missing to the
Swedish Police,” continued Doctor Ryan.
“Interpol has had no luck in finding him ever
since, though. He just disappeared into thin
air!” “Is that why you think that Derek was not
killed by only one man, Bromsbey?” Jack
asked his British colleague. “It‟s still a
hypothesis, Jack, mind you,” warned
Bromsbey, sitting up straight in his chair.

“Imagine four molecular men as Doctor Ryan
here has made us to believe, walking into that
company without being seen by the guards
and doing the devil‟s work in Mr. Hunter‟s
office.
It sounds very stupid, but we‟re just grappling
thin air here, my friend; we mustn‟t ignore any
leads we come across! And then it could just
be one molecular man with the strength of
four mortal men!” “You‟re right, inspector,”
agreed Jack, nodding pensively. “We must
look up this theory since we really don‟t have
anything now.” He could remember his
disappointment when he had checked the
CCTV videos in Derek‟s office with his men
earlier that morning and had relayed his
findings to Bromsbey via text messaging. Of
course, nothing had been recorded by the
d--n camera! It was as if it had been
switched off before the incident! So how did
Derek die? Why was he murdered? Who or
what murdered him? This was crazy. Perhaps
he should take the police doctor‟s advice.
“What of the mysterious murder that took
place in Cape City two days ago?” he suddenly
asked both men in his office. “Can both cases
be related?”
“Perhaps we should call the Cape City police
division,” Bromsbey said. “Perhaps we will get
something that could help us establish a
relationship between these two cases, you
never can tell!” Jack was just about to make
the call when he heard a knock on his door.

“Come in,” he said loudly.
Officer Kennedy walked into his office.
Inspector Jack looked up expectedly. He was
glad to see the young officer; he couldn‟t wait
to hear what the young man had for him.
“Good morning, sir.” “Good morning. What
have we got?” Officer Kennedy brought out a
piece of paper from the file in his hand. “Sir, I
got the list you asked me to get from the
reception. It shows that there were fourteen
staff members in the office building at the
time of the murder – five senior staff and nine
junior staff. All the junior staff members were
in the second floor and none of them knew
much about the deceased except that he was
popular. None of the senior staff in the
building at the time of the murder worked in
the same department with Mr. Hunter and
none had ever had any kind of face-off with
him. I couldn‟t establish any motive from any
of the workers present.” Inspector Jack was
quiet for some time. This was another dead
end. “What about the girl, I mean, his girl
friend, anything from her?” “Lucy; she had
fully recovered from the shock by the time we
got there yesterday. All we could get from her
was how she discovered the body. Nothing
new.
Everything she said corresponded with what
we got from the security men.” “What about
her relationship with the deceased and his
personal life?” Dr. Ryan asked.
“They‟ve dated for just a month. She didn‟t
see anything strange in Derek‟s personal life.
He was just a nice, fun-loving person who
took his job seriously. According to her, he
never had problems with anybody; he didn‟t
live a life of fear. In fact he was perfect.”
“Nothing unusual about him?” hopelessly
asked Inspector Bromsbey. “Nothing unusual.”

Inspector Jack sighed heavily. This was
certainly another dead end. He was sure that
Kennedy didn‟t miss anything in his interview
with the witnesses. “Have you been able to
speak with Derek‟s friend?” “Mr. Abraham?”
“Yes.” “I and Officer Daniel are just coming
from his office. He was very willing to help.
We tried to make him remember if there was
anything unusual about the deceased, but as
far as he was concerned, Derek worked very
hard and lived a principled life.
He had no enemies and never stepped on
anybody‟s toes. He said Derek‟s only
weakness was women.” “Women? Then it
couldn‟t be possible that Lucy was the only
girl in his life. What did Abraham say about
his relationship with women?” Inspector
Bromsbey asked. “Mr. Abraham said the
deceased changed women like he changed his
clothes. Since they‟ve known each other, Mr.
Abraham said that Derek had dated seven
different girls, Lucy was his eighth.” “He must
have broken a lot of hearts, don‟t you think?”
Inspector Jack suggested, getting a little bit
excited. “That doesn‟t help us in the case,
does it, Jack?” Dr. Ryan wanted to know. “As
far as I am concerned, doctor, any information
we get now is important for this
investigation,” Jack informed the scientist.

“Yes, sir,” now agreed Officer Kennedy.

“According to Mr. Abraham, Mr. Hunter broke
all the hearts of all these ladies.”
“Yet they say he never stepped on anybody‟s
toes?” asked Bromsbey, now thinking hard. He
sure would love to follow this lead now like
his Nigerian colleague, even though he wasn‟t
still sure how any of the heartbroken ladies
could be involved in such a mysteriously
gruesome murder. “Did you get the names of
the ladies?” “Yes, but we were able to get just
five names because Mr. Abraham couldn‟t
remember all the names. Also, he could only
remember the addresses of only the last three
he dated and broke up with.” Jack was
impressed. He collected the list as Kennedy
handed it to him.
He scanned through it. “Okay, we have three
addresses here, but we can make it four. I
believe we can trace Miss Davis here with her
school hostel address.” “Mr. Abraham wasn‟t
positive about that. Derek dated and left her a
long time ago. He believes she must have
graduated by now.” “I still believe we can
trace her, but for now let‟s follow up the three
that we have their addresses immediately.”
“Yes, sir.” “Locate them and investigate them
thoroughly. Hopefully, we could get important
information that could be helpful in the
investigation.” He remembered the call he was
supposed to make to the police division in
Cape City. “First, let me make a call.” He
quickly opened his phone book, got the Cape
City police division phone number and dialed.

“Hello,” a female voice answered “Good
morning. This is Inspector Jack from Lupe
Police Division; can you put me through to the
officer investigating the mysterious murder of
Mr. Benjamin, which was reported in the
papers yesterday?” “Alright, that should be
Inspector Lewis. Hold on please, I will connect
you to him.” “Thanks.” Inspector Jack waited.
About forty seconds later, a husky male voice
spoke up from the other end. “Inspector Lewis
on the line.”
Inspector Jack quickly described to him the
mysterious murder of Mr. Derek Hunter and
explained that he was trying to establish if
both murder cases were related. “I will like to
have an implicit detail of Mr. Benjamin‟s
personal life.” “Nothing much, he was a
married man with just a kid. He was very
dedicated to his family.” “Do you know if he
was involved in any extramarital affairs?” “No.

I just told you that he was dedicated to his
family. His wife was very confident about this.

Benjamin didn‟t have any enemies as of the
time of death. He wasn‟t a womanizer, though
he once lived in Lupe.” “Seriously? When did
he leave Lupe?” “He left Lupe three years ago.
His wife said she encouraged the move
because she didn‟t want her husband to keep
on seeing the girl he was dating before they
got married. From what I got, Benjamin was
dating this girl before he got the girl he later
married pregnant.” Inspector Jack became
excited. “Can you give me her name?” “She
wasn‟t clear about that. She wasn‟t sure if it
was Blessing or Brenda, she couldn‟t even
give me a surname. She just told me that this
girl was a student of Star Gate University,
Lupe.
I couldn‟t connect that information to the
murder so I let it go. Inspector, if I may ask,
why do you think the murders have anything
to do with womanizing?” Jack picked up the
paper that contained the list of Derek‟s ex-
girlfriends and scanned through it as he
spoke. “Like I said, I was just trying to see if
both murders are connected, since both of
them are mysterious. As you can see,
gentlemen, we have just established the fact
that Benjamin once lived in Lupe and from
what I have just gotten from you, they both
once dated the same girl, Brenda.” “That is
very interesting,” concurred Doctor Ryan.
