Nutt.The door opened from outside. The automatic lights in the front area were on as he stepped in. Dakota almost jumped in surprise when he saw something moving on the couch in the dim living room.“Oh”Who else but Sam who with his pillow face sat almost asleep on the couch. He yawned profusely when he saw Dakota there, at first glance he looked like a ghost, with dim lights, messy hair, and a large white blanket that seemed to sparkle from the outside lights."Eh, you’re home, I was waiting for you and fell asleep"His hand was still holding a jar of expired fried peanuts which no longer tasted crunchy. Then straightened his seat and put the jar on the table, smoothing his hair up.Dakota approached, looking at Sam with an annoyed face. The clock on the wall showed past eleven o'clock at night."What are you doing sitting in the dark like that?” Dakota asked.Sam saw Dakota's hand placing a paper bag with a round red logo that he had seen for the first time, his eyes shone brigh
Sam lowered his body squatting in front of the hallway with very little light from the window which was covered by thick dark red curtains, not allowing much light to enter.“She probably spends more time here, whether it's sleeping, or reading all these books, is she really reading them? All these books are like new" Sam took the book closest to him, and dust could be seen gathering at the top of the pile of books, meaning it had been a long time since the victim thought to touch it.Dakota found a book at the bottom in front of Sam, face down with the pages open."General psychology and its applied sciences" is the book's title.Sam frowned.“She's a business lecturer, right? Do business lecturers also study this?” Sam asked.Dakota looked at the cover of the book, as he expected. It was a very old book, from when he first became a professor several years ago, there was his name at the bottom of the back cover of the book. Sam widened his eyes, was this just a coincidence?"Dax, don
Sam's jeep came out of the small village area of Syla. Along the way, eyes were looked at them because they were foreigners. The village is small, with few residents and most of them are elders and young kids, so if there are new people there, they will notice them. Rina and Luk down to the street after stopping briefly at the minimarket on the way out of the village. They’re digging for a little information about the victim in case someone knows her. And it is, almost all of the people there know each other, they even know when the last time the victim was returned to her house. The timeline is more or less the same as the victim was found, or, at least part of the victim's body because until now they still have not found the rest of the body yet. Did the perpetrator cut her off and throw them in different places, like what happened to the meatball stall victim some time ago?Sam glanced at Dakota who was sitting next to him. They stopped for a moment on the side of the road while
“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
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
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
“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
