Speaker 1 (00:00):
The consul's last morning. The story I'm about to tell
isn't some neat little news clipping or a police report
you can skim while sipping your morning coffee. It's a
tale that drags you into the smoky back rooms of diplomacy,
the polished hallways of consulates, and the darker corners of
human emotion. It's messy, complicated, and full of unanswered questions.

(00:23):
So buckle in, because once we start, you'll want to
see it through. It all began on April twelfth, twenty fourteen,
a Saturday morning that, at first glance, seemed no different
from the dozens of mornings before it. The sun rose
over the city of Almady, Kazakhstan, brushing the tops of
the mountains with golden light. Down in the city, life

(00:45):
moved at its usual pace, markets opening, taxi drivers honking
at each other, cafes filling with chatter. But inside the
Turkish Consulate's residence, something was off normally. Kamald the Turkish consul,
a man of punctual habits and stiff routines, was an
early riser, the type who would already be at his

(01:08):
desk by seven with a neat stack of documents, waiting,
a cup of dark Turkish coffee steaming beside him, and
his phone buzzing with calls from Ankara or local officials.
He was predictable, maybe even boring, in the way men
who devote their lives to diplomacy often are. But that
morning something broke the pattern. The first person to notice

(01:30):
was one of his assistants. The man had passed the
consul's office around eight, balancing a tray of correspondents and
a couple of newspapers. The curtains were still drawn, the
door shut. Normally, by that hour Kamal would already have
called someone in, asked for a briefing, or even just
shouted for tea. But silence reigned. The assistant paused, frowned,

(01:56):
and then shrugged it off. Maybe Kamal had had a
late night. Maybe he was sleeping in, though that wasn't
like him at all. By nine, others began to murmur.
No sound from inside, no movement, no footsteps pacing, no
phone calls echoing through the heavy wooden door. When someone

(02:19):
tried knocking politely, there was no response. Another tried calling
his mobile. Nothing. The air in the residence shifted from
mild curiosity to nervous tension. By ten, the unease had
hardened into outright alarm. One junior staffer, pale with worry,
finally worked up the courage to turn the handle locked.

(02:43):
That was strange, camal rarely locked his office, even when
working on sensitive documents. Minutes later, a more senior employee
decided enough was enough. He ordered the door opened. Whether
by key or by sheer push, no one's quite sure,
and what they found inside would burn itself into the

(03:04):
memory of everyone present the scene. Camale Dare lay sprawled
on the carpet, flat on his back. His face was pale,
his eyes half open in that uncanny way that told
you instantly there was no life left in them. The
room was chaos, chairs overturned, papers scattered like fallen leaves,

(03:26):
a small bookshelf knocked half way over in the corner.
A dark stain spread across the cream colored carpet. Blood.
The metallic smell hung heavy in the air. It wasn't
a peaceful death, not the kind where someone quietly slips
away at their desk. No, this was violent. There were

(03:48):
bruises visible on his arms and neck. His shirt was
torn at the collar, signs of a struggle. Screamed from
every corner of the office. The staff froze in horn
for a moment, nobody breathed. Then panic set in. One
aid stumbled back, fumbling for his phone, his hands shaking

(04:10):
so badly he almost dropped it. Moments later, the police
were called. The authorities step in. The local police didn't
waste time. A diplomat murdered in his own residence. That
was explosive news, the kind that could shatter relationships between nations.

(04:31):
Within half an hour, patrol cars rolled up outside the consulate,
lights flashing. Officers rushed in, immediately cordoning off the area.
Staff members were herded out into the courtyard, their faces
pale and their voices hushed. Nobody wanted to say much.
Inside the first crime scene technicians moved carefully, snapping photos,

(04:55):
placing little numbered markers next to every scrap of evidence.
They bent over the consel's body, examined the bruises, measured
the blood spatter. One of the first things they noticed
no signs of forced entry, no broken locks, no shattered windows.
Whoever had entered that room had either been let in

(05:16):
or already had access. That fact alone turned the case
from a possible burglary gone wrong into something far more sinister.
Then came the discovery that everyone would later argue about
a decorative metal object, normally kept on a shelf as
an ornament, now stained with blood. It looked like it
had been lifted and used as a weapon. Was it

(05:38):
the murder weapon? Probably, but investigators weren't ready to jump
to conclusions just yet. The news spreads, you know how
it goes. No matter how much authorities try to keep
things confidential, someone always leaks. By early afternoon, whispers had

(06:00):
already reached a local reporter. By evening, the murder of
the Turkish consul was headline news splashed across television broadcasts,
popping up on websites, shared in hushed conversations in cafes.
Diplomat found dead, enalmody, violent crime, rock's Turkish consulate, International

(06:22):
tensions on the horizon. The press smelled blood, figuratively and literally.
Political ripples. On one side, the Turkish embassy demanded a
full investigation, insisting on discretion but also results they couldn't
afford to look weak. On the other, the Kazakh government

(06:45):
pressed for cooperation, insisting this crime could not be allowed
to sour relations between the two nations. The stakes were
bigger than just one man's death. There were trade deals,
cultural exchanges, security agreements, all suddenly overshadowed by this brutal
scene behind closed doors. The political pressure mounted. Every official

(07:08):
involved knew this wasn't just about solving a murder. It
was about preventing an international scandal. The twist. Up to
this point, the whole thing might have looked like a
tragic but straightforward case, a diplomat attacked, maybe by someone
with a grudge. But then the investigators found something that

(07:29):
changed the direction of the entire investigation. The residents had
security cameras. When they pulled up the recordings, they saw
footage from the night before, Around midnight, a young woman
entered the building. Her name Eisenerkin, a university student, someone

(07:50):
known to the consul. The strange part, there was no
footage of her leaving. Eyewitnesses later claimed they'd heard raised
voices from the office during the night, arguments, possibly even shouting. Suddenly,
the case didn't just look political, it looked personal. Isa

(08:12):
and the consul. Who was this young woman? Well, on paper,
she was just a student, someone Camal had been mentoring.
But as investigators dug deeper. They realized the relationship was,
let's say complicated. She was a frequent visitor. People whispered

(08:32):
that their bond went far beyond academic guidance. So what
happened that night? Did things spiral out of control during
an argument? Was this a crime of passion rage boiling
over leading to violence? Or was Ia just upawn in
a bigger, more dangerous game. The theories begin. The investigation

(08:56):
split along two main lines. The personal theory a lover's quarrel,
jealousy may be betrayal a young woman pushed past her
breaking point. The political theory a staged set up. Someone
planted evidence, maybe even framed Isa to cover up a

(09:16):
political assassination. Both paths seemed possible, and both were dangerous. Meanwhile,
the press had a field day. Headlines screamed of scandals, conspiracies,
and cover ups. Every new detail, real or imagined, was
gobbled up by the public. The atmosphere inside the residence,

(09:44):
the air was thick with suspicion. Staff who had worked
together for years suddenly eyed each other with distrust. The
Kazakh police questioned every one, from cooks to drivers to
senior aides the embassy. Meanwhile, tried to keep contral roll
of the narrative. Official statements were vague, full of diplomatic language,

(10:05):
tragic loss, ongoing cooperation, commitment to truth. But behind those
polished words, everyone was scrambling and still the image of
the consul's body haunted the investigation. That lifeless figure on
the carpet, the overturned chairs, the scattered papers. It was
a puzzle that refused to come together neatly digging deeper.

(10:31):
The police and Almody weren't exactly strangers to violent crime,
but this was something else. They were standing in the
middle of an international storm without even leaving the consolate grounds.
Every move they made was watched not just by journalists
camped outside the gates, but by embassy officials, government representatives,
and probably a few intelligence officers who wouldn't even admit

(10:53):
they were there. The first step was clear figure out
who this young woman, Eisennerkin really was. On paper, she
was harmless, a university student majoring in international relations, bright, articulate,
the kind of person who looked good on scholarship brochures,

(11:13):
but scratched the surface and things got murkier. Some said
she had ambitions beyond her years, that she enjoyed the
power and prestige of being close to a diplomat. Others
whispered she'd been manipulated, pulled into a world she didn't
fully understand. A few even suggested she wasn't just some
love struck student at all, that she might be working

(11:36):
for some one else entirely. The problem was nobody could
find her. After the night of April eleventh, she vanished
the interrogations. Every staff member was grilled. The cook swore
he had gone to bed early and hadn't heard a thing,

(11:57):
though his voice trembled as he spoke. The driver insisted
the consul had dismissed him just after dinner, as usual,
nothing strange about it. The secretary admitted she'd seen ice
A visiting frequently, sometimes staying laid into the night, but
claimed she had no idea what went on behind those
closed doors. It was classic investigative work, long hours of

(12:21):
repetitive questions, digging for inconsistencies, but no one cracked, or
maybe no one really knew the truth. The press frenzy. Meanwhile,
outside the consulate walls, the story was mutating. By April thirteenth,
newspapers were running with headlines like murder or conspiracy. Turkish

(12:48):
consul found dead in almody, mystery woman linked to diplomat's death,
scandal in the diplomatic corps, social media and wild everyone
suddenly had an opinion. Maybe it was a jealous lover,
maybe an assassination, maybe even an inside job by rival diplomats.

(13:11):
The truth didn't matter anymore. What mattered was the spectacle,
and the spectacle was growing a glimpse into Kimal's life.
To understand what happened, you need to know more about
Kimal himself. He wasn't just a suit behind a desk.
He was a man shaped by decades of service. Born

(13:34):
in Turkey in the late nineteen sixties, he'd grown up
during a time of political turbulence. He joined the Foreign
Service young, eager to represent his country abroad. Over the years,
he'd been posted in various places, small towns, bustling capitals,
conflict zones. By the time he arrived in Kazakhstan, he

(13:55):
was seasoned, maybe even a little weary. Those who knew
him described him as disciplined, private, a bit rigid. He
didn't smile easily, but he was respected. He had a
knack for smoothing over tense negotiations for saying just enough
but never too much. But there was also a side

(14:16):
to him. People rarely saw a side that craved connection, warmth,
may be even excitement. That's where Isac came in. She
was young, lively, curious, the opposite of his carefully measured world.
She brought color to his gray routines, and that perhaps

(14:36):
was his undoing behind closed doors. What exactly happened that
night in the consul's office, Some say Isac confronted him
about broken promises, maybe he had hinted at helping her career.
Maybe more Others think they argued about jealousy, or betrayal,

(14:57):
or something darker. The physical evidence suggested a struggle, bruises,
overturned furniture, the bloody ornament, but beyond that the picture blurred.
One theory suggested Isa lashed out in a moment of rage,
grabbed the nearest object, and struck him. Another theory argued

(15:19):
the opposite, that some one else entered the room after
she was already there, turning the situation violent and pinning
the blame on her. The lack of a clear time
line was maddening the diplomatic angle. By April fourteenth Ankara
was on the phone. Senior officials demanded answers. The Kazakh

(15:42):
government promised co operation, but behind the scenes, both sides
were nervous. Why Because every diplomat knew Once a crime
like this touches politics, the truth becomes negotiable. Evidence can vanish,
witnesses can be silent, narratives can be rewritten. The big

(16:05):
question wasn't just who killed Camal Dare, It was how
do we keep this from blowing up into an international
crisis the disappearance of Isa. Days passed and still no
trace of her. Her university friends claimed she hadn't shown
up to class, her phone was dead, no credit card activity.

(16:30):
It was as if she'd been swallowed whole by the city.
That's when rumors exploded. Some swore she'd fled the country
with help from shadowy figures. Others insisted she'd been taken
care of by people who didn't want her talking. A
darker theory whispered that she might still be alive, but hidden,
pressured into silence. Whatever the truth, her absence only deepened

(16:55):
the mystery international intrigue. By mid April, whispers began circulating
that maybe Camal hadn't just been a victim of personal drama.
Some suggested he'd been caught up in bigger games, intelligence operations,
political maneuvering, may be even corruption. A few journalists dug

(17:17):
into his recent activities. They discovered he'd been meeting with
local business figures, attending private dinners, exchanging late night calls.
Nothing illegal, at least on paper. But in the world
of diplomacy, even innocent meetings can look suspicious under the
right light. So was this a crime of passion or

(17:39):
a carefully staged assassination disguised as one the human side,
it's easy to forget in all the theories and headlines that
a man actually died. His colleagues grieved, his family back
in Turkey, mourned, his staff, wandered the residence in silence,

(17:59):
the e of his footsteps forever gone. Some of the
younger aides admitted quietly to each other that they felt betrayed,
not by him, but by the world. They had signed
up to serve their country, to believe in the ideals
of diplomacy, only to find themselves standing over the blood
stain of their superior, watching politics twist his death into

(18:20):
something unrecognizable. To be continued
