"Hey, I know you can do it, you're as capable as ever. I agree with our chief that if this case is better for you, you're smart, clever, resourceful, and have your own ways to catch the killer."Detective Anna smiled faintly at her coworker. She didn't know what else to do but be friendly. "Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment.""Good luck."Detective Anna then walked out of the police station to her car with coffee in a paper cup. She had to start working now. And after arriving at her car, she put down her coffee and started reading the report file on the murder case she was handling this time.And after feeling like she knew where to start, Detective Anna started driving. First of all, she wanted to get to the scene first. She needed to survey and see what could be seen there. That was her goal. She drove at a slow speed towards Starlight High School.It didn't take long to get there. After parking her car near the school area, Detective Anna now stepped until she finally stoo

"I'd like you to take me to the place where Hilda was murdered, would you mind?" Detective Anna asked as she put her books and pens into her bag. She looked at Mr. Toni, waiting for his answer."Sure, let's follow my lead." Mr. Toni, like before, answered too eagerly. He even stood up immediately and waved his hand, asking Detective Anna to follow him immediately.Detective Anna had already made the old man proud by solving Mr. Damar's murder. And it seemed like whatever her request would be, he would try to fulfill it.It took at least three minutes to reach the place in question.Detective Anna looked back at Mr. Toni, smiled briefly at him, then called out softly, "Thank you for your help and explanation, Mr. Toni. I was very helpful.""You're welcome. What else would you like me to do for you, detective?"Nothing, that's it.""Well, okay.""I'll ask you if I forgot anything. Now, can I be left alone here? I want to continue my investigation."Detective Anna sent Mr. Toni away with

Thomas's steps quickened when he saw Angie, who happened to be outside her house. She looked like she was about to take out the trash. This was his goal outside the house after fighting with his mom, he wanted to meet the girl as well as cool his head from the anger that was bubbling up because of what his mom did to him. "Angie!" Thomas finally called out to the girl.Angie had just thrown a large black plastic bag when Thomas's voice blocked her ears. The girl immediately looked at him, she was a little dumbfounded because he appeared unexpectedly again. She wasn't used to this, so she couldn't mask her surprise.Thomas now preferred to appear before Angie quietly, without any prior notice.Angie's gaze did not move from Thomas, who was currently wearing a black jacket and jeans. He approached her with both hands sunk into his jacket pockets.Thomas's lips painted a smile. He now stopped in front of Angie. "Hello." He greeted her with a waving hand."Hi." Angie replied simply, and

"Hilda is a good girl, detective. Yeah, I'm sure any parent would say this about their child to anyone else, but it's the truth, she's good, and I love her very much."Detective Anna listened as she prepared her book and pen. She watched Mr. Lockwood, clearly listening to what he was saying. She nodded, signaling that he could continue with his story."It's not just me, of course, my wife loves Hilda too. She's very beautiful, detective, you've seen her picture, right?""Yeah, I've seen her. I admit she is indeed a beautiful girl.""See? I even realized that her beauty became even more obvious as she grew into a teenager."Detective Anna nodded."I've both noticed Hilda's development, which I think is rapid. My wife and I even agree that she must have a lot of crushes at school. Do you agree, detective?""I can imagine that.""So, you agree?" Mr. Lockwood pressed because, in his opinion, Detective Anna was not giving a definitive answer.Detective Anna smiled warmly, then replied, "Ye

Mr. Lockwood began to explain again. "We of course demanded answers as to what had happened, and everything seemed to blur together after that. Hilda was murdered by someone. Her neck was cut, and she was hanged. Blood everywhere. We couldn't process it all at once. My head was spinning. Not to mention, there were tons of people. The students were swarming. I was so weak, while my wife was already falling apart. We couldn't process the terrible things that were crammed into our heads at once. The point is, we didn't expect Hilda to die, detective."Mr. Lockwood rubbed his face roughly. "We don't know what really happened. And we still don't. What did our daughter do? Why was she killed? Who did this to her? Hilda didn't seem to have any problems, and I'm confused as to how something like this could happen to her, detective. My wife and I are still confused. We can't let go, we're still trying, but you know it's not easy to do. Whatever the reason, my daughter doesn't deserve this. She
