Must Read: Paradox Of Abel - Season 1 - Episode 31

In the days before civilization invaded Africa, the hours of the days were measured by the position of the sun on the firmament, or by the axis of shadows of a stick erected over a plain area. now, the shadow of the electricity pole that occupied a section of this plain was borne on its stem, the shadow standing erect as the pole itself. The position of the umbra was a midday significance. In fact, the chronometer placed the moment at just a few minutes after noon.


The body had finally been relieved of its restive state to take much more comfort in the cold steel walls of the reliable freezer of a mortuary. Adieu. The doctor had done all the cross-examinations required. His reports, however, were still awaiting submission by the presiding sleuth. The police officers, Moses Anuku and Ayo Festus had served as escorts to make certain the cadaver reached the morgue in one piece.



This accompaniment was done not out of fondness for the man but of duty. If Jamal were alive to notice this he’d have felt like a state governor.
Currently, with the absence of the corpse and the entourages alike, Lot and Daniel were ushered into a room by David. Mice had once had a significant part of this other building to themselves, and birds had built nests on the front house’s lintels, they’d painted the stoops with their droppings. Everything about architecture in this compound was not unbefitting with the synonyms large, big, massive, titanic, gigantic. The room too was a large one; one, if built in the slums of the historical AJ city, would sleep twenty-nine adults and ninety nine babies. There were two windows, which were apparently too few for a room of such proportion. But because of the direction the room was placed, these embrasures offered sufficient oxygen to get its inhabitants breathing without much risk of suffocation. It was furnished with only a broad table and half a dozen stools. On the wall facing the entrance was a poster with a bolded phrase LOVE IS THE ANSWER. Daniel wondered what the question was. Adorning another side of the walls was a single poster of Goldie with her deep cleavage, bared belly and aggressively sparkling smile. She was powerfully intriguing. The room appeared to have been vacated very recently because the floor was noticeably neat, but the walls did not match that cleanliness. Therefore, the floor must have been stripped of its covering, either carpet or rug. David showed a commendable gesture of hospitality; he replaced three of the stools with an equal number of plastic chairs.




This act of benevolence merely elicited a mumbled two-word appreciation from Lot. Everyone was a suspect. He never forgot that.
Lot spoke only when their host had retreated from the room and was out of earshot.
“Now tell me about all that brought you here.” He said to his subordinate.[
