''Chichi, something is not right and I can feel it tingling in my spin.'' ''You better scratch that sh*it'' she swore. ''I'm so done with this case Unique. We have not only solved a murder, but have dealt with the robbery attacks in that area. Oh my God, wait until oga hears this!'' We got to the car and stopped while I searched my pocket for the key. It was a very hot day and I could see Chichi shading her eyes with her palm. I was by the driver's door but I didn’t want to drive - I wanted to think. I whistled at her and dangled the key then she smiled at me. I tossed the key at her and she caught it in mid air. ''Good catch'' I said. ''Lazy man'' she teased. ''Drive real slow I want to think'' I replied. |

*** I brought out my pink diary and began to write. I loved writing in my diary. It is one of the best things my father ever bought me. It's pink in colour with a beautiful ballerina in front. And its best feature is the small lock at the side. It's my most treasured item, I may be careless with something's but not my diary. I used to wear the key around my neck but after it got lost, I panicked and when I finally found it, I decided to start hiding it with the diary. I know Osas wanted something like this but he can never have it. He does not like writing anyway and I know if he ever had a diary, he will spoil it with drawing those useless cartoon characters: Ben ten, Scooby doo, Sponge Bob Square Pant et al. Any way back to the main gist; I still feel sad about what has happened in our home. My mother went to the station yesterday and when she returned her eyes were very red. She told us Uncle Nathan was never coming out of Oko prison. Uncle Nathan had confessed that he and Niyi were responsible for the robberies in our area. She could not believe it and I remember Osas was so shocked he could not close his mouth! Unfortunately Niyi ran away and Uncle Nathan is on his own. My mother even reminded Osas about the danger of stealing and said that's why she had to flog him the other day. I don’t think it's really good to flog a child but Osas's head is strong like coconut so maybe it was okay to flog him. |

candy: I'm curious why should he be free? I notice some readers are a bit sympathetic towards that character? He has confessed to being a robber so should it be any easier on him because he is a medical student? #confusedmuch |

''What do you think this is - CS fu ck*ki ng I? This is not an American crime series you know!'' ''Think Chichi think; where is the motive? There is no logical reason why either of them would want that man dead. He was the experienced rogue amongst them. They were looking up to him in this operation. He was the goose that laid the golden egg; the boss, the Capone. Even if they wanted him dead, it would have been after the operation. Now we know there was no operation because the last break-in was three weeks prior to that day. Besides if they wanted him dead, it had to be outside that house. It had to be far from them. Killing him in that house would have been too messy. That singular act was their undoing.'' ''You have a point there but you know what this means right?'' She smiled and began to tap her biro on the table. ''Are you trying to say …'' ''Yes I am Chichi; the killer came from within! Forget the broken ceiling board theory - that is a distraction from the pit of hell. The broken boards are along the corridor that leads to the bedrooms. There is no way someone would have come through that route and not woken a single person. You would have to jump from the ceiling to the floor and it's pretty high; this is no Tom Cruise Mission impossible stunt.'' Next the doors leading outside that house are iron clad. The doors were still intact; there was no damage to the handles or hinges. I inspected them myself. I repeat the murderer came from inside that house or was led in from within. It cannot be the younger kids; they are too weak to carry out such a vicious crime. They can barely strangle a goat let alone a mature man like the stranger. This was a calculated attack on an unsuspecting individual. Three stab wounds to the chest all within the same region. This was done by a vindictive woman or a scheming teenager - Ms Imade or her intelligent daughter Pamela Jubril! Perhaps it was one of them with the help of a 3rd part or maybe a mother and daughter team.'' Chichi opened her eyes wide and inhaled deeply. I could see she was beginning to sweat even though the fan was still twirling above our head. ''Let's do a recap maybe something will jump at us'' she said. I drowned a glass of water and wiped my forehead ''are you ready?'' She nodded at me and I started speaking. |

when you visit a Nigerian prison, then alone will u realize that the best things in life arr FREE(DOM)  touchmeder: why won't we be sympathetic towards him?? you've succeeded in endearing us to him |
| Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by omokoladele(m): 12:05pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
Toeyean1507:Why will u suspect her  |
| Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by Lilyomi(f): 12:13pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
I think is Nathan's sister. Probably she did not get what she wanted after warming the stranger. This woman is strange. Jus a day and a total stranger has his way with her . There is more to it. |
| Re: The Corpse on the Couch - a murder mystery by Nmeri17: 12:46pm On Jan 03, 2015 |
Lilyomi: it can't be anyone else except niyi or Nathan. if it was ms imade, Niyi would not have had knowledge of the murder which is why he has absconded |

Glad I stumbled on this thread. @ touchmeder, you just got a new admirer of your works. Love the language, character development, logic and the realistic settings of this story. Kudos. |
