Chapter 21
Porchay walked to the private room. Tinn followed the tall guy with his eyes, as he realized that the man he was looking at was surely the guest who wanted to meet Charn so soon. Charn turned to the door after hearing the noise of the knob turning, then he stood up to welcome Chay.
"I sincerely hope you didn't wait for too long, Khun Charn, but someone really wanted to... have a confrontation right outside the club" Porchay said and sat down in front of the lawyer. Charn waited until his guest was comfortable, he took a sip of his drink, calmly put the glass back onto the little table between the two of them and then he finally replied:
"Everyone is eager to know the reason of this meeting, Khun Porchay, but I must admit that my approaches tend to be much softer than those of other people around here. So, what may I do for you?"
"Kim doesn't know I'm here..."
"Another reason to hurry up and tell me what pushed you to meet me here, don't you agree? Since you look like you aren't exactly comfortable, I'll start and you'll tell me if I'm wrong or not, ok? You called me because you wanted to change a few elements from the version of the aggression you told me about, right?"
Porchay gulped, he poured some water into a glass and rapidly drank that. He nodded and signaled the lawyer to continue with his reconstruction of the event.
"The maître said that both of you went to the parking lot, and I tend to accept this version as true. This means that when the aggression happened, someone else could have killed that man. Am I right, Khun Porchay?"
The guy nodded again, his hands visibly trembling this time.
"Kim is surely able to kill someone, but for some reason he wasn't the one who committed the murder"
At that moment, Chay started sobbing and hid his face with his hands. Charn wasn't actually sure about what he was saying, but he knew that if Chay was behind that, it wouldn't be too difficult to put pressure on him until the discovery of the truth.
"Do you want to continue the story yourself?"
Porchay nodded, but he wasn't immediately able to do so. After another glass of water, he started talking.
"We were walking down that narrow alley. Suddenly a man jumped out of a dark corner and tried to stab Kim. My husband managed to kick him. The aggressor fell onto the ground and his knife flew away. He tried again, he managed to get to Kim and pushed him hard against the wall..."
The poor guy sobbed again, Charn poured some more water and handed the glass to him with a clean handkerchief. Chay got himself back together and continued with the story.
"Kim hit the wall with his head, he was almost unconscious and sank to the ground. It was at that moment that I found the knife on the ground... I don't know how it happened... I didn't even think about it... I just picked it up and stabbed that men in the back... "
Chay couldn't take it anymore and he started crying. Charn stood up and sat down next to the husband of his client, he patted his shoulder and tried to comfort him.
