Phaya followed what Tarn said. But after turning into that ally , they decided to take a walk because the alley was too narrow that they couldn't drive in. Both men navigated according to what the map in kind told them. The minute that the red marker pinned its location to where they were standing , they found the house number also matched the information Thongthai gave them. Phaya knocked on the door. Soon , the old , wooden dark brown door creaked open , revealing a figure of a middle aged woman with a long face.
"Who's your visit for? If you're here to sell insurance , i'm no interested. You can leave."163Please respect copyright.PENANAhayFXqUbJn
"No , Khun Pa. We're here to see Khun Chidlom."
Tarn voiced before she shut the door to them. She furrowed her brows questioningly , examining Tarn and Phaya from head to toe , then broadly opened the door.
"Who are you? What are you here for!?!"
She questioned with acurt voice. Uh...This might be Khun Chidlom. Phaya showed her his badge and introduced himself.
"We are from DSI. We have some questions to ask you , khun."163Please respect copyright.PENANAvAlfVNMj0r
"Police? What do you want to know from me?"
Chidlom crossed her arms while leaning against the door , glancing at Tarn and Phaya suspiciously.
"About Khun Thamrong..." Said Tarn163Please respect copyright.PENANArw3eaiLxIQ
"Isn't he dead!?!"
Tarn and Phaya exchanged gazes. She didn't say anything but lit a cigarette , waiting for the questions from the two cops.
"Yes , khun. We don't know how much you know about him. Could you please share it with us?"
Chidlom chuckled in her throat.
"You think that i killed him? Someone like me? Even though he raped me , let's not forget that he was actually my daughter's father."
Chidlom said with stern voice. Her blood shot eyes stared right at Tarn and Phaya , then lifted a cigarette to smoke. IF it wasn't for the social stigma her parents felt , she would have aborted the unborn baby. But this...Because her family wasn't as comfortable as the others , she had to bear the burden of raising this kid according to her parent's order , inevitably...
"Well , That's enough. I don't want to answer any more questions."
She was tired and didn't feel like stirring the ashes of that terrible past too often.It wasn't the best thing to remember. But her life right now was nothing to call suffering either. She considered it was good enough that she could get.
"May ia ask where your daughter is? I also have a few qustions to ask her..."
Chidlom whipped up her gaze toward Tarn and yelled at him with a dark , high pitched voice.
"I'm not going to answer. Neither does my daughter!"
Once finished speaking , she slammed the door shut in their faces. Tarn and Phaya discussed through their eyes what to do next. The minute they got in the car , Phaya offered the option to see her daughter at the charity school near this residential area.
They entered the school and asked to see teacher Chidchan. After waiting at the table under a mango tree for a moment , a woman with a round shaped face and rather thin figure , who wore herself in a brown a line skirt and light pink shirt , walked up to them.
"Would both of you like to see me?"
She possessed a docile and calm demeanor , far different from her mae Chidchan took a seat opposite Tarn and Phaya. She studied them for a second before voicing.
"Are you police officers?"163Please respect copyright.PENANABCYsSk70I1
"YEs , we're her to some questions about your ph..."163Please respect copyright.PENANAfcg2e1YhYV
"Khun Thamrong?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAcgjPoY92y1
"Yes"
Her relationship with him would be so poor that she resisted calling him pho. Furthermore , she gleamed a vacant , apathetic look once she mentioned him. Tarn discreetly analyzed.
"He's dead already , isn't he? Then what's your question?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAkhVokmRlOi
"He was murdered..."
Phaya couldn't even finish speaking , she cut through his speech.
"I knew that..." She turned to give Phaya the answer "And one more thing you should know is that he and i never get in touch. If you would like to seek his information from me , i think you're wasting your own time."
Her voice detached as she spoke , lifting a wrist watch to look.
"Please excuse me. It's time for class."
Once she finished ,s he rose to her feet and instantly left. Unflinchingly , Tarn's eyes followed her gaze and thought , because this woman had a strong mother , she grew up as a strong woman just like her mother.
"Let's go. There are two more places that we have to visit."
Hearing Phaya say so , tarn followed the tall figure to their vehicle. However , his attention was still attached to her unwaveringly.
"Keep watch her for that long , you like her?"163Please respect copyright.PENANA5PusepkW6B
"Huh?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAX3b4QVODU7
Tarn averted his gaze back to Phaya "Like who?"163Please respect copyright.PENANACU2RFHQt1e
"You drifted..."
Tarn recalled Phaya's former sentences and abruptly rejected them
"It's not because i like her , and i didn't drift. I watched her because i had some doubts."163Please respect copyright.PENANAs7hEgxqHTF
"About what? Khun Chidchan?"163Please respect copyright.PENANAqwqTuKHrep
"Yes."163Please respect copyright.PENANAiNtl8MXDAi
"She was too calm and flatly refused..."
Said Phaya while turning the car down the main road. Her demeanor looked as if there was something she didn't want them to discover
"..."She's definitely hiding something."
Phaya was dead sure that she knew some significant information about this case , but she didn't want to share it with them.
Tarn agreed with Pahya. Chidchan was trying to conceal something. His nose could sniff out her suspicion. However , this might not be the best time to hassle her. They still needed more evidence to support their assumption. But what they had had so far was good enough , after all. The clue , despite how small it was , could lead them down the right path in their investigation.
Once done interviewing Khun Chidchan's family , Phaya took Tarn to two more victim's houses , but no further beneficial disclosure , despite their interview cooperative effort. Regardless a shed of their unwillingness , they tried to respond to Tarn and Phaya's inquiries. After conduction the three victims' interviews , they both headed to the Department and reported their findings to Thongthai for analysis
