Capítulo 43: Battle between Detectives (Last Part)
"Boss, I have tracked Aisha's location." Amber said through the bluetooth earbud in Aeron's right ear. "She's in Viva Street, fifth block, the highest building in the street."
It just so happens that Aeron is near at Viva Street. "Okay, I'll call you back." Aeron hungs up and drives towards the highest building in the street.
Aeron was a couple blocks away from the said building when he hears a gunshot. His breath hitch and step on the accelerator.
He knows Aisha's skill, she won't be easily killed. But why does he have this feeling? It's like something bad had happened to her.
"Dàmn." Aisha cursed, according to her investigation, Nancy was just all brains and don't have any martial arts skills so she can't block the bullet without being too obvious.
Aisha slanted her body to the side, not completely avoiding the bullet but enough to avoid the vital parts of her body.
"Ms. Nancy!" The polices shouted when the bullet grazed her right shoulder.
Augustus narrowed his eyes at Aisha's subtle move. His body moves to push her away from the bullet but he his guts told him to not help her, and was shocked at her abilities. Her move is calculative, she avoids the bullet to not hit her vital part, and only skinned her shoulder.
"I'm fine. It just skinned me a bit." Aisha told them but she froze when her shoulder throbs, not in pain, but as though something is forcefully entering her system.
Poison!
Aisha's eyes widen a bit. So she is the one behind this! Aisha bit the inside of her cheeks to suppress her rage until she tasted the metallic taste of her blood.
Augustus eyes narrowed at the slight indent in Aisha's cheek. "We should get your injury check." He said.
Aisha swallowed the blood in her mouth before answering, "It just grazed my skin, it's not of a big deal."
What she needed to do was to leave this place ASAP. She is immuned to poison but this poison seems stronger than the average ones, although it can't kill her, but she still needs to know what kind of poison this is.
Sol was taken away by the polices, together with both Nikos and Jin for further investigation about the case. Only Augustus and Aisha was left.
Strange, Augustus thought, is there no other tenants in this place?
"What can you say about my performance?" Aisha raised her brow, her smile is wide and proud.
"Your deduction is on point, however, you miss one thing." Augustus said, he raised his chin slightly as if he's mocking Aisha.
"I miss one thing?" Aisha raised her brow, it seems this cocky detective detective is tired of leaving. Dare to mock her when he's just some lowlife that can be crush like an ant.
"This," with his glove-covered hands, Augustus raised the note in his hand. "The victim left this note. It seems he knows that someone will kill and leave a note under his bed."
"A note?" Aisha takes the note in his hand and opens it, it seems like a fake suicide note because of its content. "Seems like the murderer make him wrote a fake suicide note." Aisha flips the note, and her position happens to be where the sunlight shines so when she flips the note, she saw a series shiny lines when the sun's light shines the letter.
Invisible lines? Hidden message? Aisha looks at Augustus, and seeing his smirk, she knows that he already knew about the hidden message.
"You have a marker or lighter?" She asked and Augustus gave her a marker.
Aisha settled the paper in a flat surface and scratch the paper, and in the center of the paper, in it is her initials "A.C.D.L.T.". Seeing this, Aisha's mouth twitched.
Don't tell me he thinks that I am the one who will kill him earlier? But thinking of this, no wonder he didn't try to escape even when he knew that someone wants his life because he thinks that even if he escape, he will eventually face the wrath of Aisha.
"Even though this case has been solved, it is only in the tip on the iceberg. There are people who is behind all of this, and my guess, it is related to mafias."
"Oh, really?" Aisha raised her brow at him, her hand is gripping her injured shoulder. "How can you say that is related to the mafias?" You and your obsession, go to the hèll, Aisha inwardly scoffed at him.
"Do you know about the ruthless Queen of Mafia of the De La Torre famiglia?"
Aisha narrows her eyes, wanting to trap her into her own words? Not happening. Only those who are associated with the mafias knows that the "Queen" is from the De La Torre famiglia. In fact, from outsiders point-of-view, anyone can be the Queen as long as you are more powerful than anyone else. In the eyes of the mafias, she is the Queen, but in public? She is just Aisha De La Torre.
Even if Augustus knows about her through the mafias he arrested, but Nancy didn't. In all honesty, this is the first time that Nancy has been involved in a case that is related to mafias. Detective Penber wants her to have an experience solving cases about the mafias so he sends her to help Augustus.
"I don't know about the Queen you're talking about," Aisha replies. "But I do heard about Aisha De La Torre from Detective Penber."
Augustus nodded, his eyes lock into Aisha, or rather Nancy's eyes. He didn't know but he had this uneasy feeling about this woman in front of him. It was his guts who says that she can't be trusted, and so he will follow his guts.
This woman is indeed impressive, especially with her deductions, but she had still a long way to go. Especially with her deceiving eyes.
"She is the daughter of the deceased Boss of the De La Torre. She is now the Boss, the pillars of her famiglia, once we take her down, the De La Torre famiglia will crumble. And once it happened, all the other famiglias under them will be easier to destroyed."
Aisha laughed at this, not as Nancy but as Aisha. "Even though I don't have much knowledge about the mafias but have you ever thought that they have an another next in line heir or heiress that will take the position once Aisha is killed? De La Torre is such a big famiglia, it won't be easy taking it down."
In fact, almost everyone in her famiglia wants to take her down, and they are now planning her doom as she speaks. But that's okay, even if she is stripped off of her title, she already had a counter-solution about that problem.
"Of course, I know it will not be easy," Augustus pinch the tobacco between his lips and lights it. He puffed a smoke as he added, "If it is, then I should've succeeded in taking it down."
Aisha almost rolled her eyes at him. Why is he still alive anyway? Oh, because he is one of the puppets that that person controls. And this detective is utterly oblivious about it.
"Now, we will decode what is the meaning of these letters but I have a hunch that it stands for Aisha's initials, or maybe not because of letter C. We'll know later on." Augustus said. "I'll find a place for you to stay during this period, for now, go to the hospital and cure your injury."
"No need," Aisha sulk, feeling wrongly accused of the dead when she was reminded of the note. "I'll find the place myself and this injury isn't too lethal, I can handle it." After that she left using a more lowkey car that is similar to what Nancy used.
Augustus had to remained to investigate it more further, his hand reaching to the another note that Stan wrote aside from the "suicide note" and in it was the name "Sutton Famiglia".
"Sutton famiglia," Augustus clasped the note in his rough palm, his face revealing a devilish smirk in his face. "You're famiglia will soon perished and all the other mafias in the world."
Augustus went inside of the apartment, not noticing the shadow four apartments away from him.
Aeron reached for his phone amd send a message to Amber.
"Give me all the detailed information about Augustus Kain, starting when he is born and until now."
