Tayo took more seconds off as he stared at his phone's screen. He rubbed his chin gently then he snorted.

Tayo stepped into the hallway, behind him was an hard face suited man. He had a gun hanging on his waist. He pushed open a door on the left and he stepped back as light flooded the passage, giving Tayo the chance to step in.
"What is this that i am hearing in" "Wasiu is dead!" Yusuff said curtly. A frown on his face as his gaze monitored Tayo's movement across the room. "That's never going to be possible. I saw him two days ago, before i travelled." "See my brother is dead and there is nothing you can do about it. So pls sit down. Let us talk."
Tayo sank into the arm chair close to him, His face puckered as a furrow raised above his brow. "You think I killed my brother?" Yusuf said. "I am not saying that, Yusuf. But I cant say. You might" A scowl appeared on Yusuf's face. "You hated him all your life. And you have swore a thousand time you were going to kill him." "How dare you, Tayo. What are you trying to proof. That I killed my blood brother." His hands pointing to his chest. "I never did." "Fine" Tayo shrugged. "I had to fly down from Greece, without sorting out what i went there for. In fact the very moment I heard this, I jumped into the next available flight." "Beautiful. Because you had to cover your act. Yusuf, you cant even deny you are not behind all of this."
Yusuf stood off his chair and he walked close to the wall, he kicked against it gently with his shoe. His hands secured in his pocket. "See, Tayo. I can make all of this easy. I have picked up my brother's case as a private investigator." "Nice" Tayo said jamming his hands together. "So this is your plan. You want to bury this. Yusuf you had all you wanted. Why did you have to take his life." "Dont! Tayo, dont even move a step closer to accusing me wrongly." "Ok" Tayo gulped as he nodded. "Why did you call me here."
Yusuf went over to his table and he sat. "Let's begin this. Where exactly were you On the 12th of august". A faint smiled appeared on Tayo's face. "I Thought I told you I travelled home three days ago. That was on the 12th." "Did you see Wasiu before you left for your home town." "What kind of question are you asking me. Do you think I have hands dug into any this." "Pls answer me". Tayo shrugged, then he replied. "He has camera's planted all over his house, why don't you check that out." "See Tayo" Yusuf broke in. "I will like it if you 'd cooperate with me. You know Wasiu had all the camera's removed early this year. He Complained about privacy." "And you went mad. May be those were one the stuffs you gathered up. Then you murdered him. "Did you see him on the 12th of august" Yusuf yelled. "No." Tayo replied curtly. "I saw him last on the 9th."
"Have you seen this before" Yusuf asked pointing to a Piece of paper over laid with a Pistol. "What?. what is my business with your gun, i have seen many guns." "No i mean the paper".
Tayo picked up the gun, laid it aside, then he picked up the sheet and after a long study he said. "What is this" "I want you to write a statement, that you know about Waisu's mental illness. Since you have been his long time friend. And you suspect that, this must have made him stab himself. paint a suicide picture. I promise you 70million Naira if you do this for me." Tayo laughed out
