What Is In The Air
Toward noon. John Mazen arrived at the police station as a witness. The man sat in the chair he had occupied several times during his visits to comply with police summonses. Sam sat in front of him, with Dakota by their side.The man took a long breath; he did not look surprised by what Sam conveyed regarding the dried body in the autopsy room, and about who the Amy Mazen he had known for these past few years actually was.“So, you have known, all this time, that she was not the real Amy Mazen?” Sam asked.John Mazen pulled his lips, looking at Sam and Dakota alternately. The man leaned his back against the chair, letting out a long sigh.“Amy and I haven't been in touch for a long time. She always avoided me for health reasons, and I understood her. Ever since Matt's illness got worse, she cared less and less about our relationship. You also know I no longer live in the same house as her; the Mazen residences are so many. Sometimes Amy, or, uh, I mean, Rosana, would stay in another h
Surrendered
In the end, Dakota had to drive. Sam's hand was in such extreme pain that he had to take painkillers from the doctor, which, of course, made him drowsy. Throughout the journey, Dakota drove smoothly; it might have been a long time since his last driving, but how hard could it be?Bruk.The apartment..Sam walked toward the living room and immediately collapsed onto the sofa, feeling very unsteady.“Oh, so tired. I am going to sleep first, okay? Wake me up at mealtime,” Sam said.Dakota sat in front of Sam. Speechless, seeing Sam so out of it.But in a second, Sam woke up and sat up, smiling broadly at Dakota while showing his bandage-wrapped wrist.“Hey, look at this. The doctor said my hand is not broken, just bruised. Do you know why? Thanks to that super expensive ginseng milk from your beautiful sister. I will make some in a bit; I think we need to restock.” Sam excitedly got up from his seat and headed to the kitchen.Dakota looked at some news on his tablet screen, sitting cross
The Body
Dakota looked upward, the sound of the wind could be heard from small holes in each wall, there were not many holes, it was to keep the room warm so there were only one or two small holes on each floor. Arriving at the upper floor, Sam held the door handle, preparing to open it, he looked at Dakota behind him, ensuring they were ready for whatever was inside. Slowly, Sam turned the door knob.“Kreeek”But, there was nothing inside that room, not even objects, any furniture, visible from the dim light coming in from the air holes, dust particles flew in the air. Sam put his firearm back into his holster, waving away the dust in front of his eyes.“Look at this dust, it seems it really has not been opened for a long time” Sam said.Dakota inspected around the small room no larger than three by three, there was a pile of dry straw on the side of the room shielded from the sunlight from the air holes. Dakota approached.Slowly, they approached and saw
The Villa
Late afternoon. Sam drove for about an hour toward the border of Bayward city, along with two support units from the local district five police, at the city border, Sam and Dakota visited a quite large vila at the end of a quiet road near the lake. The area is used by residents as holiday houses, so if it is not holiday season, the area is quiet with few visitors. Several residents, who served as holiday villa caretakers, came out to greet the police and Sam. The middle-aged man and his wife looked confused, seeing the house suddenly visited by police without prior notice.The villa, or holiday house, consists of several simple, comfortable and beautiful buildings with trees around them. From its condition, it is quite well-maintained and clean. The main house is a single-story building in a village house model, with bamboo walls and a thatched roof. Although that is only a form of decoration since the main materials still use modern materials. Sam stopped in the middle of th
Secret Room
Back at the office.Sam sat back in the chair, forehead wrinkled while observing the whiteboard in front, which was getting so full that there was almost no space left.The murder case at the Mazen family home had become a long issue, evolving further and further from the starting point. All photos of suspects, the homeowners, to the photo of Rosana Bain they just obtained filled the board. Now all the red lines pointed to the photos of Amy Mazen and Rosana Bain, as well as Matt Mazen as murder suspects.However, some evidence they found in Matt's room showed that all this time, he was manipulated by Amy Mazen who frequently gave him drugs until he became increasingly aggressive. The evidence of Matt's hospital records inside Amy Mazen's room became a strong clue. But, everything was very strange, as if all the evidence was intentionally placed just like that at a time like this.Sam stroked his chin, currently, they only needed to find Amy Mazen and get
Oversized Clothes
After obtaining an arrest warrant for Amy Mazen, the Bayward police dispatched officers to search for the woman at all Mazen family residences in and around Bayward. To date, there is no data indicating that the woman left the city by plane; she might have used land routes. However, her whereabouts remain untraceable, even though Erw has conducted visual searches with surveillance cameras throughout the entire city.Sam and Dakota visited the Mazen family home in District 1. The servant said that Mrs. Mazen had not returned to that house for over a week. Meanwhile, John Mazen was at another large house on the outskirts of the city, and Douglas was on a business trip on the outskirts of Bayward. In addition to Sam's jeep, two police service vehicles arrived to collect evidence.Sam entered the large house, which was now only guarded by a few house servants. Since the murder case began in that large house, activities in the main Mazen family residence seemed to have ceased. Gradually, t
