The Fiancee

Daniel Herrera toured the George Washington Square in Central District, looking for your next client. The park showed up enormously since its expansion in 1995's. The name remained the same, but the environments have changed. His client was Hillary Parker, known for always being well dressed with her fiance, Adam McFeller in the social pages of the newspaper The Rail and the magazine Maine Happens. Adam McFeller was the secretary of the treasury of the state of Maine and the wedding would take place soon. The 30th of June was inspiring to walk outdoors: the noonday sun, summer, green lawn and the temperature 80°F. Hillary Parker was incredibly beautiful: blue eyes, pale face and mouth drawn on red lipstick. The hair in a shade of silvery blonde contrasted with the understated black dress and a round hat that covered his face. She waited near the pines in park's west lake. Daniel appeared quickly after the phone call received early in the morning, made by herself:

- How did you find my services?

- A friend of mine gave the reference. Was your coworker a long time.

Daniel already knew who it was. At the time, no matter that. The woman told the story and the need for immediate detective services.

"As we know, Hillary is engaged to Adam McFeller a strong political state of Maine for over two years. However, two months ago, the woman rediscovered an old college friend who had a small relationship, went out to dinner and ended engaging beyond the requirement that night. The man was Willard Green, lawyer for civil cases of the city of Port Rail. Green has a lifetime of good gifts: imported cars, big house in prime districts and causes that earn you good income every month. In the two months that have passed, the engagement was about to end and Hillary had a passionate contact with Willard. Loving emails and Facebook conversations were heavily intimate. Meanwhile, one day Hillary "fell in the real world" and hit with Adam, vowing her love, but keeping that secret. Except that secret had fallen into the wrong hands. A girl received a malware by email revealing was a person with all the Facebook conversations and wanting the sum of U.S. $ 500,000.00 or the information go to the hands of McFeller. The meeting would be on the 1st July, at the Immigrant Stadium's ticket office at 9pm. Hillary gave details of the customs that had Willard in the time they spent together: they were sometimes at the Sunrise Theatre and the Palace Gray Hotel' Casino. The main people who saw Hillary Parker with Willard Green was the home of Willard, Mike Caparzo, the former girlfriend of the guy, Megan Tyler, and the chief inspector of the casino, Laurence Cleveland."

With the revelations made ​​by the girl, Daniel had less than 30 hours to find the culprit and where was the conversations. The detective would start by purpose: who could have access to the ticket office of Immigrant Stadium to 9pm? The stadium was near the park and with a persuasive claim of one hundred dollars, got the list of imployees. Can't find anyone in the area of the ticket office, but many italian's descendants working in housekeeping and security of the stadium. Mike Caparzo became the number one suspect. The information they gave you more time to investigate other likely suspects and have dismiss them. So, he goes behind Megan Tyler, at the court of Port Rail. Tried to talk to the lawyer, but was not successful. Stood for fifty minutes chatting with lawyer's secretary:

- She does not like to talk about their past relationships. - Revealed the secretary already involved with the sweet words of Dito. - Willard and she fought bad when they separated. That was what I heard. Willard Green is a piece of garbage. My boss was angry for weeks.

- Do you know where I can find it tonight?

- Well, she likes to go play at the Palace Gray's Casino now and then. If you do not find it today, tomorrow is game Palladines in Immigrant Stadium. She is a big fan of the quarterback.

Dito fell on his own lack of information. The Rail Port Palladines would play the next day in a friendly back from vacation with Bangor Stautons, third division team in the NFL. If Hillary said they were playing at the Casino, Megan certainly saw the two together some night. Daniel called for Hillary to get a very valuable information.

- Miss. Parker, happened some disagreement between you and Megan Tyler during the time he was with Mr. Green?

- We were at table of Blackjack on April 14, when she came and attacked me. She said Willard was hers. Will broke up the fight, but the detective casino interceded. The man said he would have to take us to the security room to provide some complaint against the woman and we went. Willard spoke with Mr. Cleveland.

- Notice anything unusual?

- No.

Megan was beside himself. Now Dito had to race against time, wear your suit and go to the Casino.

It was after eight o'clock when they entered the Grand Casino of luxury Palace Gray Hotel. Took the money saved from the last case was settled and bought some chips. Walked from one side to the other trying to find Megan Tyler, but no use. The woman was a potential suspect was missing. Your twists aimlessly were many then Laurence Cleveland, the chief inspector of the casino, came to investigate the situation:

- Sir? I noticed a slight concern and found very suspicious of you be prowling the roulette and twenty-one's tables. A problem?

- None. - Daniel was cold. - I have a date with a girl, but it seems that she will not appear.

- Not a good idea to keep your chips on hands and staying that long standing. Do not like to keep them in our waiting's safes?

Waiting's safes? What the hell is this! The vaults were used to store expects casino chips and withdrawn only from a four-digit password. The customer could only carry chips and was followed by a security guard who would find out if only one type of object would be there. The customer could save them for a few hours or days, as to inform. Were 112 safes.

- Do you have a safe?

- Of course! - Laurence smiled. - Like most regular punters.

As he passed the front desk, he saw an unlikely character: Caparzo. He was arguing with a security guard when entering the casino. Said he had a "scheme" to catch up with a friend. But the guard insisted that he could not cross the line, because he was blacklisted by the casino dividends.

The chips were in the safe, but the evening would not rest for Detective Herrera. As much as could be Laurence, the man did not have any kind of relationship or connection with Hillary or Willard. Caparzo seemed to be linked with Willard and Casino, as well as Megan, the main suspect. But who would have access to Facebook from one of the two? Maybe Megan. At the time we were lovers, Megan and Willard could have shared and never changed their passwords after the breakup. The woman seemed to be on the tip of the Daniel's knife. But there were no certainties. It was time to wake Logan Springwood, in the Police Department.

Logan was active that night. There was a police raid on a house with drugs. Staying awake some more time would not hurt him. Asked the names and Dito gave.

- Caparzo is clean, no history. Megan Tyler is cleaner than marble forum but has some history of bipolar disorder, from what I hear ...

- I knew it! - Daniel commemorated the finding. But ...

- And Cleveland, this is dirtier than the bathroom of the park! - Logan smiled. - He has a pretty big history with gambling. Made most clear in Blackjack in Atlantic City, was convicted, but the Grand Casino hired to keep an eye on guys like him. Nevertheless, it continues in west side casinos. Owe around the six digits for the Florida Bay, I hear. If you're looking for someone dirty in police records, this is the guy.

Daniel wilted. Now, it was a shot to each side. Megan continued as a prime suspect, but Caparzo was connected to the stadium and Cleveland was connected with the police. He still got the home address of Megan before leaving the station. Went to the district of North Ground, where the lawyer lived and rode stakeout. Putting snacks and coffee into the stomach, Dito waited until the morning sunrise. The detective's eyes were clenched when the door opened like his vision. A big and strong man said good-bye to Megan. Your name: Laurence Cleveland. Straightened his tie and walked down the street to find the car parked. Something revealed Cleveland was the biggest suspect. Needed proof and would have to be the most inconvenient way.

Packed his Valet's clothes and went to the Palace Gray Hotel at 10am - missing eleven o'clock -. Down to the your car and broke the Laurence's car. Found there the casino monitoring office's key. Removed his clothing, keeping it in your car and went up to the floor of the room, using his suit. Laurence spotted reveling with breakfast at the hotel bar. "He'd eat fast and would seek the key as quickly as possible," Dito thought. The detective walked through the casino and the funds arrived, walked a staircase and reached the monitoring room, opened it and saw three security guards watching the monitors. It all ended in a matter of moments: a prerogative that Daniel was in the wrong room, the attack of the guards and the three passed out on the floor. Dito needed to find a key clue: the image security on April 14th. The server was slow. Soon, Daniel into filming April and transferred the file to your pen drive.

The detective went through Cleveland without being seen in the hallways of the casino and withdrew his chips next to the security guard on duty. When he returned to the car, opened the notebook and saw the cameras. Finally, had the certainty and the solution. Now was time to prepare the victim for the meeting.

9pm. The Immigrant Stadium seethed with people arriving for the match. Hillary went to the ticket office wearing a casual outfit: blue jeans and Palladines T-shirt - yellow and black -. With her was a briefcase with money. The price to pay for silence. A security guard reported her to enter, saying that "the coach was waiting". The meeting was in the trophy room, empty.

The big and strong Laurence Cleveland emerged borrowing money, but Hillary insisted on seeing the recorded conversations. The man put his hand in his pocket, but ... gone!

- Looking for this? - Daniel and Logan appeared behind a placeholder. Dito held a pen drive in the form of poker chip.

- Stay where you are, Cleveland. Will spend some time in jail! - Logan didn't hesitate to point and keep staring. Hillary is protected with Daniel.

- How did you discover?

"It was not easy! Earlier, I was sure that Megan Tyler was the blackmailer. She had a great anger for Willard Green and so tried to attack Hillary Parker when encountered her with the ex-boyfriend at the Grand Casino. What I didn't expect was Laurence Cleveland was dating Megan, and worse, tried to blackmail the woman that the boy was with. A crime in third person so much. When I saw his record, I didn't believe, but the numbers of debt from Florida Bay were very specific: six digits. The amount that the blackmailer wanted. The proof came with the camera surveillance when Cleveland takes Willard to report the complaint and steals the cell. An act of good card player. After seeing the conversations, passes to a pen drive shaped casino's chip and place inside the vaults. Nobody would suspect, but me! When I took the safe, I memorized his password, and when I returned on this morning I opened your safe guarding a single casino chip. Then, I knew that you were the guilty. Said it was wrong safe and I was emptying my safe."

- While waiting here, you put your coat with the trophy above. I took the pen drive. Just like you, was an act of playing cards! - Daniel ended.
