“Conductor company, private, district five”
Soon many round, yellow company logos appeared on Erw's screen.
Erw looked at the video clips and logos, trying to narrow the search.
"There are around twenty-five privately owned conductor companies, all of their registration numbers start from 09," said Erw.
Dakota's pair of light blue eyes played left and right, the light reflection from the monitor screen was visible in his clear glasses’ lense.
“Not here, try looking outside the Bayward area. District five companies sometimes set up factories outside the administrative area to reduce tax payments.”
Erw nodded, that made sense, he thought, starting

"What is it, Sam?"Sam points the camera towards the wreckage, at the bottom. Where there's some kind of a door on the ground."It looks like there's an underground room, it’s so heavy, metal door, and dirty. Looks like it's never been open for a long time," said Sam. He was trying to pull the door which was locked with a large padlock.Dakota watched carefully until the video call from Sam started glitching."Sam"Sam pursed his mouth, the reception in the small village was quite worrying, especially before it started raining like this."I will record a video for you to see later, the reception is so poor"Dakota nodded. Not long after, Sam's phone call ended.As he put his cell phone in his pocket, Dakota's gaze fell on an elderly man pushing his cart. For some reason the big wheels are difficult to move, maybe they are caught in something. He looks like he's having trouble. Even though he doesn't want to get his hands dirty, he can't just let people who are having trouble in front
CRIME BOOK 101 Too Clean
It’s too quiet. There was no answer from behind the door after they both stood for quite a long time. Aris glanced at Beni to see if they could peek into the room. Thick window curtains tightly cover the windows and nothing visible from outside at all. Aris took out his firearm, anticipating what they would find there.With a signal from Aris, Beni with his large body pushed open the thin door with ease.“Prakk!” …..Dakota looked around. There weren't many people at that place now. There are not many residents in the small flat either. Most of them seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere in the afternoon, spending time, and relaxing before night came. A ball was kicked so hard that it hit the car's windshield."Bang!"This surprised the two guards who turned with big eyes to see what happened."Hey!" Edi nodded permitting Phil to get out of the car.“Hey, be careful! You can break the car shield!” exclaimed Phil.He clearly wouldn't show mercy to some of the complex kids who came to
CRIME BOOK 101 Name Card
Dakota pursed his mouth. Yeah, why didn't he answer the phone? It was because someone surprised him and made him drop his phone which made it switch off and he couldn't turn it on again. Sam pulled his lips. Stand with both hands on his hips. He waved his hand after opening the car door. "Get off, let me take it out, how can a young master be told to drive his car, this is too much," exclaimed Sam, who was annoyed but was able to breathe a sigh of relief, because his feelings were wrong. Turn out there was nothing bad happened. Dakota couldn't help but open the car door, letting Sam take over the wheel to get the vehicle out of the manhole. “Push hard on the count of three!” Sam exclaimed. Dakota stood to the side, a safe place while Sam and his bodyguards tried to get the rear wheels out of the ditch. The large luxury sedan had a reliable and strong engine, and it didn't take long for the expert Sam to finally get it out of there. Edi and Phil shout in celebration. "Yeah it work
CRIME BOOK 101 Innocent Kids
“Boss”Dusk. Rina approached her boss after getting the results from the lab.“There were two children's DNA found on clothes from several strands of hair that were left behind. And two adult DNA, male and female. The woman belonged to the victim, Mona Ryan. Meanwhile, we haven't found the man who owns it." said Rina, handing several sheets of lab results into Sam's hands.Sam read the report carefully."Two kid’s DNA. Why do I feel like I've seen this kid’s face?" Sam asked looking at one of the photos of two children. One recent photo looks like a young man in adulthood and the other looks like an old photo."And why isn't there a recent photo of this child?" Sam asked.Rina nodded."That's right boss, this child is called Gus Bale. He was twelve years old when he decided to end his life by jumping into the river. The bridge we cross when heading to Syla village, Boss"Sam widened his eyes. Almost gripped the paper.“Suicide, is there a possibility that this is the cause?” Sam asked
CRIME BOOK 101 Who Is That?
The man, Harry Wills, aged fifty-six years was picked up by local police after obtaining a warrant from the Bayward district attorney. He looked so calm, even though Sam had shown several photos of him in the backyard of the CW campus moments before the victim's head was found."I just wanted to meet Miss Ryan, she said she would pay me after I helped her move her furniture and stuff from her apartment to her house. But it's been weeks since she hasn't paid me."“Earlier you said you only wanted to buy necessities in town. Why did you go to meet her on campus, why not just wait at her apartment? This isn't his working hours either," said Sam, pointing to the photo where the man was standing in front of his truck on a night. The light from the street lighting showed his face quite clearly.“That's because she didn't show up, so I purposely waited there for her. Where else do you think I would wait? She didn't come home to her apartment for several days, I was waiting for her there but

Ron almost choked on the coffee he had just inhaled. Almost spilled it. He looked at Sam who was looking at him with sharp eyes.“Am I that cruel as a boss? By the way, who am I to order a Dakota Sorensson anyway?”Sam glanced at his boss again sharply."So you never told him to do it all this time? You always send us here and there. It turns out this is how you've been working all this time?"Again Ron looked at Sam sharply. What was going on in his subordinates' minds? Why does he look annoyed?Sam folded his arms in front of his chest. Remember what Dakota said to him last night in the car on the way home? He was about to continue but Dakota fell asleep because of the drug as soon as they returned to the apartm
CRIME BOOK 101 A Middle Class Bag
Sam glanced at Dakota. He waited too long for a brief explanation.“The bottom line, Dax”Dakota looked at Sam, pushing his glasses back up slightly.“Temporary suspicion is that the bag belonged to Mike Arlo. The bag was seen when he entered campus several days before the victim was found. But when he last went to the office to provide information, the bag was gone. And not just that time, several times it was seen on CCTV cameras that Mike Arlo no longer used that bag when he was at college."Before this, Dakota headed to Erw's room to check the CCTV footage he got from the campus to see where the victim was. The victim's activities before she was found dead and several details about what time she arrived and when she went home. And several times Dako
CRIME BOOK 101 It was a Live Broadcast
You can see video footage with poor lighting. Three students, Mike Arlo and two others seemed to be on top of a fairly tall building."Where is this? Did you get the address?” Sam asked.Rina pursed her mouth."There is no information about the exact location, Boss, this is a live broadcast recording from Mike's social media which has been archived. Erw managed to find it after looking for a while. Mike protects his social media quite tightly, so it took a while for Erw to open it. From the view, it resembles a building roof but the surroundings look like they are not in an urban area. Lots of grass and tall plants at the bottom. This was highlighted a little, but because it was dark we couldn't see it clearly, Boss."Sam watched the video carefully.
