Re: The Paradox Of Abel (The Sequel) by Frankenstein: 5:37pm On Oct 05, 2014 |
Lot began afresh, “With varying motives, each one of you had as much chance of killing Jamal—at least that night— as the real culprit. Many of you would have noticed that I didn’t bring any proof against anybody; I didn’t produce the gun used in killing Abel, and neither did I present the spare keys the murderer used to open the front door. These are actually minor evidence. The gun could have been wiped clean of prints as done on the knife; and they keys might have been hidden and lost forever during the past week. But, to pursue a vein of improbable conjecture, there remains one absolute evidence even the criminal cannot easily get rid of, and that is the evidence of nature. It is a habit which, when begun, cannot be easily curbed. Take for instance someone who posseses the habit of biting his nails; as time goes on, if he doesn’t stop this habit in time, he’ll find himself doing it without even knowing. The evidence behind the murder of Jamal was based on habit; an act that has evolved over the years and has become an addiction.” There was something like a momentary pause, and strangely enough, the silence among the audience still persisted. The detective had evidently held his listeners under the spell of his personality. They all watched him in fascination as he continued his speech. Perhaps the eyes of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible discomfort about the guilty. “The culprit revealed this habit during the interview,” continued Lot, “The victim, Jamal Malik, must have been aware of what was coming to him but the steps he took to prevent this fatality were not enough. It is not appropriate to say that the murderer is mentally unhinged. To say a man does mad things because he is mad is merely unintelligent and absurd. A mad man is as logical and reasoned in his actions as a sane man—given his particular biased point of view. For instance, if a man insists on going out and squatting about in underpants his conduct seems eccentric in the extreme. But once you know that the man himself is firmly convinced that he is Baba 70, then his conduct becomes perfectly reasonable and logical. But there is also the case of a mentally deranged man. If a fly settles on your forehead again and again, maddening you by its tickling—what do you do? You try to squash that fly. You have no problem about doing that. You are important—the fly isn’t. You kill the fly and the anger ceases. Your deed appears to you sane and justifiable. Another reason for killing the fly is if you have a strong aversion to germs, the fly would appear to you as a potential source of danger to the community—so the fly must go. That is how the mind of a mentally deranged criminal works. So, logically, a deranged man is mentally sane. In that respect, I surmise that nobody would want to believe that the murderer is one of the sanest people among us all, mēns sānā in corpore sānā —a sound mind in a sound body. And the truth is that no one among you really want the murderer but someone must be accused, which is wrong; that is actually the theme behind Esther’s worry. In general, Jamal Malik did not live a holy life, so there was never any instinctive sympathy for the victim. Show the picture of the violated body of a dead innocent child, tender as a fledgeling, and some atavistic voice within will always whisper ‘someone must pay for this’, someone could be anybody. Shouldn’t the proper phrase be ‘the killer ought to pay for this’? But the need for vengeance is usually so easily confused with the imperatives of justice. In many courts of law, this theory always works for the prosecution. The jury doesn’t want to convict the wrong man, but they need to convince someone—and there, the general public would believe therefore that the guilty was the one convicted. So is the legal system of our dear nation. When A is murdered and B and C are under strong suspicion, it is improbable that the innocent-looking D can be guilty. But he is. If A has a perfect alibi, sworn to at every point by every other letter in the alphabet, it is improbable that A can have committed the crime. But he has. When a detective gathers a grain of sand at the beach, it is improbable that such an insignificant thing can have any importance. But it will. In short, you come to a point where the word ‘improbable’ grows meaningless. “In most brutal crimes, it is no justice that matters, it is what happens to the innocent and guilty alike. Would the dry stem remain upright at the expense of its falling opposite but healthy roots? To me, the innocent should not suffer, and must not suffer, and it is to prevent the suffering of the innocent that I must point out the guilty. I have an obligation for the dead—to expose their murderers, iustitia omnibus —that’s my motto. My arrival to investigate crimes, as many people know, is not always described as tidings of joy. You may all think that I’m beating about the bush; that I’m repeating the same thing over and over again, but that is not really the case, it is imperative that we understand how the mind of the murderer works. We should not mistake the killing of Jamal Malik for the obvious. It is not a crime committed out of greed or vendetta. It is a crime of passion . And the appearance of Abel on the stage only sped up the play that was bound to end, sooner or later, tragically.” He paused and smiled contentedly, “By now, the murderer should be feeling ill at ease. The plan relating to the death of Jamal Malik was planned quite a long time ago. It is not one that had never been committed before. It was planned down to the smallest, least important detail. Murderers are usually vain, and once a man takes the first false step of brutal murder, his feet are set forever on the path to his destruction. There was the first superficial unsatisfactory evidence against the multitude of the innocent; and going by the Law of parsimony: When multitude explanations exist, the simplest is usually correct. This brings me to the last piece of the puzzle, the receipt Famous found in the trash.” He brought out an old torn small receipt. “This is the mesh that holds the wires.” Ruth asked rudely, “Why don’t you tell us the murderer and save us the agony of listening to your deductions?” “That is what I’m about to do,” replied Lot, “The murder is sitting right there!” Lot pointed out and every pair of eyes followed the direction of his finger. “Mrs. Malik,” said Lot, “ Why did you kill your husband? ” |
