Detective Valluce and The Poisoned Politician 

 - Part 2 -



Valluce arranged a meeting with James Parker. The businessman was arrogant and dismissive. "Detective, I have no reason to poison Senator Michaels. Our disagreements are purely business," Parker claimed. However, Valluce noticed a slight tremor in his hand, indicating nervousness.

Next, Valluce visited Helen Carter’s campaign office. Carter was calm and composed. "Detective, politics is a tough game, but I would never resort to violence. I believe in fair competition," she said with a confident smile. Yet, her alibi for the night of the fundraiser seemed rehearsed.

While reviewing the fundraiser’s guest list, Valluce noticed a name that stood out: Dr. Alan Cooper, a toxicologist who had once been embroiled in a scandal involving poisoned food at a corporate event. Valluce paid him a visit.

Dr. Cooper lived in a modest house. When Valluce mentioned the fundraiser, Cooper became defensive. "I was only there because James Parker invited me," he stammered. Valluce’s instincts told him Cooper was hiding something.

Valluce decided to confront Parker again, this time armed with new information. "Parker, I know you invited Dr. Cooper to the fundraiser. Why?" Valluce demanded.

Parker’s façade crumbled. "Alright, I admit it. I asked Cooper to help me, but it was just to scare Michaels, not to kill him. Cooper must have gone too far," Parker confessed.

Valluce needed concrete evidence. He tracked Cooper’s movements on the night of the fundraiser and found surveillance footage showing Cooper near the senator’s table, seemingly adding something to Michaels’ drink.

Armed with this evidence, Valluce confronted Dr. Cooper. "It's over, Cooper. We have footage of you tampering with the senator’s drink," Valluce declared.

Cooper broke down. "Parker paid me to scare Michaels, but I wanted to teach him a lesson for ruining my career. I didn’t mean to poison him that badly," he admitted.

With Parker’s and Cooper’s confessions, Valluce had enough evidence to arrest them both. Senator Michaels was safe, and the public learned the truth about the plot against him.

As Valluce left the police station, he reflected on the tangled web of politics and personal vendettas. This case had been a reminder of how far people would go to protect their interests.

Back at his office, Valluce prepared for the next challenge. The city was full of mysteries, and Detective Valluce was always ready to uncover the truth.

Detective Val Luce and the Case of the Silent Witness The phone rang in the dead of night, its shrill tone cutting through the silence like a knife. I rolled over, squinting at the clock—3:47 AM. This couldn't be good. "Valluce," I answered, my voice gruff with sleep. "Detective Valluce, we need your help," the voice on the other end was trembling. Twenty minutes later, I was sitting across from a young woman in my cluttered office. She introduced herself as Ahlem Habib, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days. Her fiancé, Yahya, had disappeared without a trace three days ago. The police had found no leads, and she was desperate. "Yahya is a quiet man, but he wouldn't just vanish," she insisted, handing me a photograph. I studied the image of a tall man with kind eyes and a crooked smile. I started with Yahya's apartment. It was neat, almost too neat. I found his journal tucked away in a drawer. It was filled with mundane details ab...

 Detective Valluce and The Five Rings Enigma   - Part 1 -  In a city full of mysteries, Detective Valluce stood as a protector against chaos. Detective Valluce’s phone buzzed urgently, distracting him from the evening news. The screen displayed a string of strange characters:   7S, 4O, 12T, 9L, 3E Valluce, always curious, noticed a pattern. It was Morse code, whispering a message: −·−· ·− − −·−· ···· −− · ·· ··−· −·−− −−− ··− −·−· ·− −· "Catch me if you can." The Luminance Museum was in trouble. The Five Rings of Virtue—Sacrifice, Obscurity, Time, Loyalty, and Eternity—had been stolen. These rings were more than jewels; they were symbols of a legacy that went beyond time. Valluce quickly understood the code. The numbers were paired with the first letters of the rings' names in Latin—Sacrificium, Obscuritas, Tempus, Loyalitas, and Aeternitas.  But the letter 'N' was out of place, an enigma within the riddle. The thief had left a challenge for Valluc...
