Chapter 15 - THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
Detective Vance sat at his desk,
surrounded by files,
photographs,
and forensic reports,
compiling the final case against Julian Vance.
The chemical analysis of the spilled wine,
had come back from the lab,
confirming the presence of a rare,
lethal neurotoxin.
The toxin matched the contents,
of the vial found in Julian’s safe,
providing absolute forensic evidence,
of the attempted murder.
Furthermore,
the detective had uncovered,
a network of offshore bank accounts,
used by Julian to hide his stolen funds,
and corporate embezzlemnent.
Julian had been stealing money,
from his own investors for years,
trying to maintain his luxurious lifestyle,
and high society status.
When the fraud was about to be exposed,
he panicked,
turning to murder as his final escape,
hoping to cover his tracks with blood.
Vance shook his head,
marveling at the cold-blooded nature,
of the entire plot,
and the narrow escape of the victim.
If not for the sharp eyes,
and bravery of the young housemaid,
Evelyn Vance would be dead,
and Julian would be a wealthy,
free man.
He picked up the phone,
calling the district attorney,
informing him that the file was complete,
and ready for prosecution.
"We have him dead to rights,"
Vance said into the receiver,
"the video,
the forensics,
the financial records,
and the confession."
"He won't see the outside of a prison cell,
for the rest of his natural life,"
the detective promised,
feeling a deep sense of satisfaction,
for a job well done.
Justice was moving swiftly,
an unstoppable force,
crushing Julian’s desperate lies,
and exposing his true nature to the world.
The case became a sensation,
a cautionary tale of greed,
May you like
and deception within the upper class,
captivating the entire city.
