Steemit Challenge s26wk2- Mysterious Roommate
When Ronnie first came to live with Timothy, he introduced himself as a businessman, like a confident person. On the other hand, Timothy had also been looking for a roommate for quite some time. Timothy was fascinated by Ronnie's clothes and style of speaking, and agreed to take Ronnie as a roommate.
Ronnie did everything on time for a few days, then his coming and going became irregular, and his movements became inconsistent.
Sometimes he would leave early in the morning and come back late at night, and sometimes he would not come home for two or three days. Again, if you ask him a question, he would not get a correct answer.
But one day, a small incident changed her opinion about Ronnie.
Timothy finished his work and returned home at 7 pm. She saw Ronnie taking out a bag from under the bed. It seemed that the bag was quite heavy. The chain of the bag was open. Inside the open bag, he saw several items that a normal person or a businessman would never have.
He saw steel tools gleaming under the yellow bulbs: iron cutters, saws, drills, and a bunch of wrenches. A small gun wrapped in cloth. Timothy's eyes widened. His heart was pounding against his ribs, but he tried to stay calm, but his mind told him he was going to get into trouble. Then he spoke normally and smiled.
Timothy asked, "What... what are those?"
Ronnie was also surprised to see Timothy and a little unprepared, although he quickly collected himself and said with a smile -
Go ahead, "Just... tools. For business, you know. You have to cut things, open crates, check authenticity... sometimes you need to secure them." He tapped the bag lightly, as if that explanation was enough.
Timothy could not believe Ronnie's explanation. This could not be. If he were a businessman, he would have business documents, stamps, or sample products, etc. Surely, they would not need saws, lock-picking tools, or guns.
Timothy could not sleep all night. She did not have any special information about Ronnie either. Even when she asked personal questions, he never got an answer from him. He skillfully avoided all questions. Today, when she saw the gun in his bag, he started thinking about him anew.
Timothy understood that she had made the wrong person her roommate. She started thinking about what to do now. She could not sleep. It was 4 a.m., and she woke up from sleep when she heard the sound of the door opening. She saw Ronnie stomping out of the room. She had a look of caution on his face, a bag on his back.
Ronnie left. Timothy quickly opened the door and searched everything in Ronnie's bag and drawer. She found a paper in the drawer, saw some writing in code, and found some drawings, but could not understand anything.
Timothy was convinced that Ronnie must be involved in some crime, and all the signs were pointing in that direction.
She went to the office with an uneasy mind, and on her way back, she went to the police station, the duty officer himself said that he would supervise the matter, and left with two constables.
When she got close to the house, the police officer and Timothy entered the house after asking the constables to take their positions.
Ronnie was inside, saw the police officer, and said - Hello, how are you, officer?
The police officer saluted Ronnie.
Meanwhile, Timothy remained standing there in amazement, observing the whole incident. Her face was wide with surprise.
Ronnie said - Timothy, you calm down, I will tell you everything, Meanwhile, the police officer left.
Ronnie sat down with Timothy and said -
I am a police officer. I have been transferred here to catch some criminals. I was in a state of anonymity so that I could easily reach those who are committing crimes. My work is almost over, and my mission will be over in a week. Then I will go to another district.
Mixed reactions appeared in Timothy's mind. On the one hand, he was very happy that he was thinking wrongly about Roni, and on the other hand, he felt sad that Roni would leave so soon.
Then, thinking that the mystery of the mysterious room meter had been solved, he went to sleep with a peaceful mind.
