Dakota asked.Sam thought."Well of course, do you want to find something there?"Dakota nodded, he picked up his cell phone next to his body on the bed, searched for something and handed it to Sam."This, it's more or less like this"Sam looked at what Dakota was showing him, his eyes widening to see what was in the photo on the cell phone screen."Uh this ..." but Sam couldn't be too excited, Dakota would know that

Aris stopped laughing and looked at his watch. It was already ten in the morning and they had to go back to the office before lunch. The cell phone in his jacket pocket vibrated, and the young man with short, neat hair like a soldier saw the incoming text message."Where are you guys? Please buy us lunch, Emma wants fish soup on the outskirts of town, and Boss too, he said if you have time, buy him the crispy chicken next at the toll as usual," an incoming message from Rina.Aris pursed his lips, as he replied to the message."Just say you are the one who wants it, don't bring up Boss's name, I'll tell him later"Rina replies quickly."What's the difference? It's me or the boss, he wants to eat it too, don't be fussy, just don't forget, okay?"Aris pulled his lips."This girl really loves to eat."He put his cell phone back into his jacket pocket and looked around, looking for something."Um, where's the toilet?" he asked.Ian pointed towards the small exit near the kitchen."There, go

The man placed a large bag of Dakota’s clothes on the sofa, he looked around the room.“Hey, Dax, where's that Sam? Why didn't he stay with you?" asked Robert."He's back in the office, there are Roger's men out front, so I just told him to leave."Robert sat beside the bed.“That guy, he should have told me if he’s going to leave you, you know we can't be careless about anything, at any time those guys could come attacking you”“Hey, don't too much, Rob, um, today you and Kim tried on a new suit and gown, wasn't it? Are you guys done?” asked Dakota.Robert crossed his arms in front of his chest and took a deep breath."Heh, your sister, she got a call from her office and said they had very important business that needed her presence. Without thinking, she just canceled the appointment we made since last week just like that. Heh, she didn't even ask what very important matter who need her to b

She got out of her chair turned at Erw to send her photos to the big screen."There's no sign of self-defence, this guy could have committed suicide or, he was attacked suddenly"Sam frowned at Emma's unclear answer."What do you mean? So suicide or not?” he asked.Emma shows some of Guy's post-mortem photos."This, this loop around his neck, is not parallel to the loop of his waistband, with such a hanging position, the trace of the loop should be around the front of his neck and up from behind his ears. Even though he tied it to his neck so tight, the weight of his body would still make the waistband shift up, not around the neck like this” said Emma, showing a photo illustration of the result of neck entrapment and hanging, both of which have different marks.Sam nodded."That's true, that'
CRIME BOOK 101 Cases
"What do you think I'm going to do Sam? Guy has no family, except me, he doesn't know anyone else who knows him better. I should, I've suspected him since the beginning of our meeting, he knows about what foods I can't eat if I'm also allergic to phosphorus, it didn't just appear on my employee report. I should have suspected it, but his sincerity caught me off guard.”Sam played with the pen on his desk and saw some of his members who had finished their work late into the night and one by one excused themselves. Rina and Aris entered from outside and stopped in front of him."That's called being human, Dax. We've all been careless once in a while, and you're no exception.

CRIME BOOK 101 The Belonging
The night at Dakota's apartment.Sam was just back from police headquarters and brought back Guy Russo's belongings in a medium-sized carton box.

Are you waiting for me?" cried Sam.Dakota pursed his lips, wanting to hit Sam in annoyance, and he still had the nerve

After all, what has to do with me, this is your party, instead, people will say that Kimberly's father is old and ugly"Kim let go of her arms, laughing lightly at her father's ridiculous face."Daddy"She stopped her laugh when she saw Sam there, the young woman smiled and came forward to hug him."Hey Sam, thanks for coming, where’s Dakota?" she asked while looking inside the big house.Sam nodded."Of course, I'll come, Dakota can't wait to come earlier"Kimberly narrowed her eyes, suspicious of him."Well, as long as you guys don't make a fuss in the middle of the event, I don't want this event that I have paid for quite a lot to ruin because of you"Sam smiled."I can't promise

Finally, Susan and her daughter decided to leave the house, disappointed by Dakota's refusal.Sam and Dakota stood by the pool watching the guests leave in an orderly line at the gate.The two of them were seriously talking when Alisa approached."Dax, too bad, I still want to stay here with you, your father agreed that we need to try to get to know each other first before getting engaged, um, how about I sleep in your room tonight?"Dakota saw the girl who then moved in front of him, and looked at her from head to toe, Alisa Aldrin, Susan's daughter who turned twenty-five this year. The little and beautiful girl looked brainless and resembled a baby doll, but who would have guessed, if she turned out to be very cunning?Dakota remembered vividly when the little girl pushed him to fall from the stairs down to the first floor. He also remembered, when the heartless girl ordered her innocent and timid step-brother, little Aaron, to bury Imelda alive, and, h

But Dakota wasn't affected at all, even though Luke was teasing him."I just think, he had unfinished work here, it's very strange that he just disappeared like that," Dakota replied.Luke smiled. He nodded."Of course. But, I hear Mr. Meyers has a track record of moving from place to place and many people want him, he might be considering looking for a new job. I'll ask the campus secretary about how to handle a unilateral breach of contract, it's a real shame," Luke said.Dakota seemed to resume his meal, until her phone vibrated again, a notification from a group message.

Besieged
Aris threw his hands up in the air.“Damn those kids, how old are they? Still bullying people like they’re still in high school,” he exclaimed angrily. He pushed the chair back with his body and stood up, leaving the room. Beni pursed his lips; his partner was really hot-headed. He then stood up and followed Aris out of the room. Before leaving, Beni took the time to tidy up the chair and put it back in its place before casually walking out of the room.***Heavy rain poured outside the wide hospital window. While waiting for the doctor to allow them to go home, Dakota and Sam sat on the sofa looking at some notes Andi had left on a flash drive—videos of himself. Meanwhile, Dakota read some diary entries the team found in Andi’s apartment. Sam watched several videos from A
Belinda's Journal
Yesterday morning, after spending the night in the detention cell, the officers found him dead, covered in blood, with a gaping wound in his chest. The boy had even pulled out his own heart and held it, perhaps watching his own heart stop beating until he died. A truly horrifying death for everyone who saw it.It was determined he inflicted the wound himself, using a spoon he’d taken from the officers’ dinner plates when they’d brought him in. His body was stiff when they found him; the night officer thought he was asleep because there was no sound from inside the room; he’d pulled the blanket tight around himself. There was so much blood it looked like a horrifying red pool in the room. Before he died, the young man had written some words on the wall. Sam really didn’t want to show it to Dakota, but how could he hide it?“They will come for you, Professor.”Those words—how likely was it that they weren’t meant for Dakota?Dakota saw the plastic bag Sam had brought from the office, so
Sleeping Like A Baby
The young man’s face… it was like the face of the stabber at the mall yesterday. He was clearly a special needs child, possibly one of the children from those secret laboratory experiments.Dakota looked at the three campus security guards standing watch, batons in hand. A few more guards were just appearing behind them. Luke moves in front Dakota to keep him from harm.“Hey kid, calm down. Do you know what you’ve done? You just killed someone. You’re smart, you don’t want to die stupidly or go to jail, right?” Luke asked, though he knew it was too late to talk him down, he still had to try.The young man grinned, raising a long, kitchen-knife-like blade that gleamed sharply. He wiped the remaining blood on the blade with his tongue, licking it clean. Luke fought back a wave of nausea.“Oh.”“They study air theory, let them feel what it’s like to fly through the air. That&rsqu
Bad Feeling
Emma sat back down, and it was now Rina's case. Sam looked serious until his phone in his pocket vibrated. A call from someone he wasn't expecting, just as he thought. Jack Moris from the federal agency."Yeah," Sam said, getting up from his seat. He glanced at Ron across from him, then got up to answer the phone.“You’re incredible! We haven’t even released any reports to headquarters, how did you know about this? Did you plant spies in our office?” Sam asked. Jack Moris’s voice boomed in his ear; Sam had to pull the phone away, his ear aching from the man’s thunderous tone.“Ouch, that’s loud,” he muttered, pressing the phone back to his ear.“This might not even be the same case. Why don’t you let us handle this first? You won’t be late getting information, trust me. It could just be a random attack, like what usually happens. Anyone can go crazy, right? Are you sure this is

A Killing Machine?
It was getting late, midnight, and Sam had just finished cleaning up. He came out of the bathroom, toweling his hair with a small towel, his upper body bare except for a towel around his waist. He approached the bed where Dakota was already sitting, opening his laptop."Wow, it's midnight, my dear professor. Time for bed, why are you still working?" Sam said, stopping beside Dakota.Dakota looked up, seeing Sam's slightly wet, bare upper body displaying his muscular chest. Sam seemed quite proud of showing it off.Dakota just pursed his lips, ignoring Sam and continuing to look at his laptop screen. Sam smirked; he'd intentionally teased Dakota, but the young man was completely unaffected. He'd hoped for some kind of reaction.Sam sat down next to Dakota. But before he could sit on the soft bed, Dakota moved the pillow from his left side onto the bed, preventing Sam from sitting down."You can get a blanket from the closet. The couchis very s

Dakota looked at the takeout container Luke had placed on the table. He watched him slowly sit down."Aren't you with guests? Why aren't you eating with them?" Dakota asked. Luke waved his hand dismissively."Let my secretary keep them company, I said I had important business. Look at this, supposedly amazing steak, almost perfect reviews. Next time we have time, we'll eat at the restaurant, they say it's much better there."said the man excitingly.Dakota looked at the logo on the box."I tried it last week with Sam."said Dakota.Luke's hand movement stopped; he looked disappointed."Oh, really? Was it good? How’sthe rate?" Luke asked."Yeah, pretty good," Dakota replied casually.Luke placed the plate in front of Dakota and carefully took out the neatly arranged steak from the box. Even though it was in a delivery container, the restaurant paid attention to quality, keeping it aesthetically pleasing wit
What's The Connection ?
Rina approached their office just as Sam came back in after dealing with the attackers. She looked annoyed.“Boss,”Sam turned. He was applying a compress to his jaw, which was swollen and slightly red from the hard hit.“What about the woman? Did she confess?” Sam asked.Rina and her boss went into their office. It was dark outside, and the air was getting cold. Everyone was exhausted.“She’s very good at making excuses, Boss. According to her secretary, there was information about a room that couldn’t be used; she told Amelia because she was in charge of the seminar. After that, she got word to move everyone to the auditorium at the last minute. All the information fits Amelia Roy’s alibi,” Rina replied.Sam sat down, wincing slightly from his bleeding lip, a souvenir from the thug’s punch.“She must have planned everything meticulously.
