Jamie stared at the passing traffic as he pondered on his current case. Paul Song and the Dr. Katherine Park had to be involved somehow. Firstly they tampered with the crime scene, how could they take the body away without the police? Plus Paul Song insisted that the autopsy be done in his hospital. When he questioned them as to the reason they tampered with a crime scene, he said they weren't thinking straight. He didn't know if that answer was mockery or just plain stupid.

"So you're saying you walked in when he was already dead?" The detective asked.
"He was still alive but he was already shot, he died a few seconds after we went in." Paul replied with a grim expression on his face.
"Did he say anything when you went in?" The detective asked.
"Yeah, that he was glad to die in the arms of the man he loved." Paul replied firmly.
"Are you serious? Mr. Song please be serious here, we're dealing with a homicide case here."
Paul slammed his palm on the table. "Do I look like I'm joking? How dare you! What the hell do you know about the man that died? What the hell do you know about me? Look if you're going to undermine me, we are done."
The detective grimaced, looking at the glass mirror by their side, he sighed.
"That's not the way is works here, you don't get to decided when you're done." The detective replied.
"Alright then, get on with it. I want justice for Steve to remain here and not involve a lawyer. Don't ask me unrelated questions because all the answers I give you are the truth and nothing I say will change, the statement I gave the other detective in the hospital."
"Why did you tamper with the crime scene? Doesn't that seem suspicious to you?" The detective asked.
"Like I said that was a miss judgement on my part. And trust me anyone else in my position would have done the same thing." Paul frowned.
"I highly doubt that sir, we rarely ever meet emergency situations without a preserved crime scene." Detective assured him.
Paul smiled. "You think you meet 'preserved' crime scenes. That's not true, when a person calls the emergency hot line its because they've found a body, especially if that person is someone they are acquainted with, it not for the police it for an ambulance, or just so they take the body away to a morgue. Steve was still alive, ofcourse we would try to save him first, besides he was in a hospital. We have a morgue, we had no immediate reason to call the police." He said curtly.
"So you're saying people call the emergency hotlines mainly for the medical treatment?"
"I'm I wrong? If it isn't a direct threat to the caller and they stumble on an injured person or a corpse, trust me they're immediate need is an ambulance not a cop." Paul sighed. "Look I know how it looks, but if I were really involved in this I'm not so naive as to make such a stupid move. I know the law enough to get away with murder."
The detective brow rose, "I don't know if you're toying with me or just plain stupid."
"It's none of the above, surely you know that I'm a lawyer." Paul said. "Do you really think if I were guilty I would be this bold or rather in your words, stupid."
"I don't know Mr. Song. But we'll be requesting your presence again. We're done here."
"Sure as far as it helps catch Steve's killer. Good bye detective Bak."

Jamie stood up, tossing his empty coffee cup into the trash. Walking back to his car he seriously pondered on the case. He couldn't explain or conclude any thing right know because they were too many speculation that made sense. He had to head back, sunday was usually his day off but if he went home like this he wouldn't be able to rest. He would go back to the hospital and cross check, they must have missed something. He drove back to the hospital and immediately went back the camera room. The police tape was still there and he didn't need to show his badge to cops standing guard outside. Walking in he met his friend, Detective Bak.
"Ah, Anderson isn't this you day off?" He asked.
"Well not any more." Jamie replied.
"Huh, you need a girlfriend Jamie, only you works on his day off for free." Detective Bak shook his head. "What happened to that pretty reporter that used to come around? Did she get smart and leave you?"
"Haha very funny." Jamie said sarcastically, it was a thing in his station at the time. No one could understand why a woman like Lenora from an extremely wealthy family, with a fast track career would go for him. He also wondered, at the time he thought he was so lucky, well it turned out he actually wasn't. She only dated him for information.
"What have you found?" He asked changing the subject.
"These cameras, it's strange really. The cameras in front of the room were turned off." Detective Bak stated and Jamie walked over to see what he meant.
"Does that mean the killer was already here before the vic came in?" Detective Bak asked.
"That's possible, what does the background check of the victim say?" Jamie asked.
"Pretty much has no family, he was born in a different city and moved hear. He didn't go to college, but he is really good with computers." Detective Bak informed Jamie.
"So we don't have any suspects yet." Jamie concluded.
"Yeah, if we aren't counting the director and the doctor."
"I doubt they did this, their story though hard to believe isn't something you'd make up to tell a lie." Jamie said. "What about the camera in the hall? We should check that to see who passed by during the time his autopsy claimed he was dead."
"That's the problem there was no camera working for about seven rooms down."
"Really? Let me see that." Jamie walked to the computers where the security feed was playing.
"Look here, the cameras all the way down to the elevator are not working."
"Yeah... you're right, does that mean this was premeditated?" Detective Bak suggested.
"Probably, I'll call the IT team to check it out so we can know for sure. One thing we're sure off is that the killer left the room and the floor immediately this was done. Which means we can also suspect a patient." Jamie said.
"So what now?"
"It's safe to say the killer could still be in this hospital."
