Two days later.Thomas walked into Ron and the team's office."Mr. Ron, regarding Dr. Katrin Danes, the court has agreed to transfer the case to the prosecutor's office for further investigation. Why are you still holding her here?" Ron, sitting behind his desk, looked up. He had just been busy with a pile of administrative work that had accumulated on his desk."Sam said there's still more to investigate, we've asked for an extension until next week, she'll be safe in her cell, you don't need to worry." Thomas took a deep breath. "It's not that, the prosecution might find more clues about the case. This situation has already gone public, so we need to start thinking about how to avoid it if we can. If the Prime Minister hears about Dakota's involvement in all this, everything will get even messier." Ron placed his pen on top of his stack of papers. "I think he might already know by now." Thomas turned to look at Ron with wide eyes. "What do you mean? How could he know? Di
CRIME BOOK 101 Trapped
The rain had stopped. They arrived at the location a few kilometers from the city limits. "Wee woo!" Several vehicles with their sirens still blaring had already filled the area. The road leading out of town was quite empty, allowing for the road closure to still be managed. The morning light hadn't fully broken over the hills yet, and dew still clung to the edges of the leaves before slowly falling to the ground.Sam and Rina had just parked their vehicle and quickly got out. Luckily, Rina had brought a jacket and long pants to cover up her dress, which was definitely uncomfortable in the chilly air. Emma and the team had arrived earlier; those coroner members were really diligent, working non-stop. Even though they were just as far away, Emma's house was closer, so she got there first and waited for the rest of the team to gather.The crime scene was near the edge of the bridge.A body was hanging under the bridge, upside down with its head below, blood dripping from an open wound
CRIME BOOK 101 Intentionally
"Clang"The friction between the iron door and the floor sounded loud and painful to the ears.Dakota being conscious, but it is still hard to get himself fully awake. Footsteps approached, and he counted how many people were coming—one, two, three, five people, each with different weights to their steps. Soon, he heard a sneer. “Look, our handsome professor seems to be awake.” They cover their voices to be unrecognizable with somekind of masks.This was followed by the laughter of several others, their voices masked, probably to keep their identities hidden. But for Dakota, who had a photographic memory, that might not be a big deal; he didn’t just remember the voices, but also the character, the rhythm of their footsteps and the way they spoke. He think he might recognize those people, who now seemed to be laughing at him. “Hahahaha.” ***“Smack!” A hard slap was unavoidable. Kimberly, with all her strength, brought her palm down on Elena’s cheek. Again, she might have pulle

"Wow, look at that smooth flawless skin!""His lip is sexy, can't help but want to kiss him""He's perfect!"Sam's eyes widened."Find out where they're broadcasting!" Sam exclaimed.Erw raced against time, coding the video location and mapping out several broadcast signal spots. They only had a short window to act; they needed to move fast."Damnit, those people," Sam clenched his fists, and the video keep the focus on Dakota, shooting up to his chest, with an unbuttoned shirt that showed his bare chest. They shoot every angle up and close."Please lower! He is very sexy, can I have him?""This is great, there is a handsome professor here""Let's bid for him!""Wow I'm ready to pay high for this angel"**Sam prepared his firearm, complete with the bulletproof vest he always wore before a raid, just like he and the police officers were about to do now. Rina had already gotten into the passenger seat; there were three vehicles from headquarters, with many more following behind on the r
CRIME BOOK 101 Not Much Time
Sam drove as fast as he could, connecting with Rina on the phone. "Have you guys made it there yet?" he asked. Rina and some police have been monitoring the movement near the pier on the other side, a few meters along the harbor where the culprit ran and threw the body.A few men stood on a boat still parked at the dock, two of them dressed in full clothing and masks that concealed their faces. Rina jumps out of the car even when the wheel hasn't fully stopped yet, on standby with her gun. The girl was ready with her weapon, signaling to several nearby officers to spread out in all directions. Rina with her small and light feet got close and stopped behind the other caravan nearby, getting close enough to fire. "Freeze! Stop right there!" As soon as Rina's voice echoed, the men seemed startled; one man immediately ran away, leaving the other standing in place, raising both hands in the air. "Stop him!" The fleeing man headed towards the parked boat, quickly jumping onto anoth
CRIME BOOK 101 A Role
Sam stifled a laugh; he wanted to chuckle, but Kimberly looked scarier than Dakota, even when Dakota was at his angriest. Kim hadn’t said anything to him, but he could tell just by looking at her eyes. "Um, well, that’s good, Dax. The culprit hasn’t been caught yet, so you’re still in danger. You should really listen to Kim, and Roger’s guys are trained; they’ll definitely be on high alert while watching over you. You can feel a bit safer, right?" Kim grabbed her bag from the couch, walked over to the bed, and kissed Dakota’s forehead briefly. "Get some rest; you still have a fever. I have some business to take care of. Sam, I want to talk to you outside for a minute." Sam, who was just about to get comfortable, straightened up. He glanced at Dakota, who shrugged in confusion, just as Kim disappeared through the door, and he quickly followed her, not wanting the young woman to get mad at him. Outside the room.Sam furrowed his brow as Kim handed him a piece of paper, both sta
CRIME BOOK 101 Break The Past
Four students, proven to be the web killers, were arrested: Daniel, Laura, Emmet, and Dina. They were caught on campus just before Dakota's class started, and to lure them out, Dakota had to go out and become bait.It was as if nothing had happened, and the kids thought it was all over after the headquarters announced they were closing the case, and they appeared with a lot of confidence. Dakota stood in his place. Sam stood next to him, watching Rina and her team escort the web killer suspects into the holding cell. It wasn’t a pleasant situation; these kids came from prominent families, government officials, famous people, and even former national athletes. The four young men stared straight at Dakota as they walked toward the cell. This case going to be so big.Laura and Dina looked like they had just been crying, their eyes and noses red, both lowering their faces when they caught Dakota’s gaze. Sam stood next to him watching Rina and her team members herd the web killers into a
CRIME BOOK 101 The Kite's Fall
Dakota’s apartment.Dakota had just taken off his coat when he noticed his phone screen light up; there was an incoming call from an unknown number. “Hello?”It took a moment for Dax to recognize the voice on the other end. He loosened his tie; being a professor at a prestigious university required him to dress as neatly as possible—suit and tie, that was his everyday look. It was a call from his dad’s personal assistant, Elina.“Hey, sorry El, but I can’t. There’s a seminar at the police station this Saturday. Just tell Dad I’ll visit afterward, maybe the day after tomorrow.”Dakota fixed his bangs, and it didn’t take long before the call ended. An invitation to his own birthday party—his dad was really trying to get closer to him in every way possible, even if it made him uncomfortable. It was so frustrating, he thought as he slowly made his way to the bathroom. Maybe he would cool off and soak in the tub for a while; he needed that.Not long after, while filling his bathtub, his p
