CRIME BOOK 101 The Office
Back to the police headquarters.Sam looked at the report on his desk. Some clues regarding their stump case. Photo of the victim, photo of the victim's clothes worn when he died. According to Emma, the victim’s clothes were exposed to some foreign chemicals, ranging from floor cleaning detergent to disinfectant, like those usually found in hospitals.The chemical is very common and can be found anywhere, so it cannot be used as a material to narrow the search area for the location of the leg cutting.Aries and Rina entered after being out all day for their investigation, Sam looked at them for a moment and continued to read the piling-up documents on his desk."What did you guys find?" asked Sam.Aries and Rina looked at each other until Rina stepped forward first."Some tattoo house owners say, judging from the shape and workmanship, this tattoo is a special order, only a group of people have it. I got information from one of the owners of the tattoo house in the city center, the P

Bud stammered, waving his hands quickly.“No, no, hehe, I can’t really afford to eat there either, but since Jon said he wanted to treat, I just went along with it. He said he really wanted to eat there but didn’t have anyone to go with, so, heh, I guess I’m lucky,” the man said as he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his sweaty forehead and face. The air in the meeting room was already quite cool, but the young man still felt hot. He was sweating.“Did Jon ever mention that he has a serious rare disease?” Dakota asked.Hearing this, Bud shrugged his shoulders and nodded slowly. “Yeah, he mentioned it once in a while. He said if he doesn’t get a plasma transfusion once a week, he could die from blood loss. I thought it was just a regular joke; I mean, how could someone like him—tall, big, athletic, and muscular—have such a strange illness?”“Did he ever say anything about how expensive his treatment is? If you think your salary isn’t enough for you to eat at those fancy restaurants,
CRIME BOOK 101 Dinner
The Prime Minister's house. That night, August invited Dakota and Sam over for a warm dinner as the year was coming to an end. Dakota accepted, as he always went there every New Year's Eve, even though he didn't care much for his father. Sam's large vehicle stopped in front of the Prime Minister's grand house after passing through the long driveway. Robert's red vehicle was already parked in the far left part of the yard before they arrived. Two guards helped Sam open the door, and Sam even let one of them open the trunk and take out Dakota's wheelchair. "Young master," greeted one of the guards who opened Dakota's side door. Dakota glanced at the house worker for a moment but ignored him until Sam approached. "Don't worry, let me help him, just bring the wheelchair here," Sam said. The young man in neat suit, who was the Prime Minister's family guard, nodded. Not long after the wheelchair arrived, Sam extended his hand to help Dakota carefully get down from the rather h
CRIME BOOK 101 Not as Usually
Monday morning at the police headquarters. Dakota had just connected with Robert through his laptop screen. Robert had a substitute class that morning and asked Dakota for advice before starting. Sam approached, bringing Dakota’s coffee order and placing it on the table. The steam rising from it carried a delicious aroma that made Dakota turn his head, but he ignored Sam, simply reaching for his coffee. “Yeah, starting from chapter twenty-five, before that in section fifteen about comparative classes, there are several cases that need to be elaborated on. Usually, I give the students time to form groups to analyze the behavior of the perpetrators from previous cases…” said Dakota.Rina and Aries walked into the room. Immediately, the petite girl approached Sam.“Boss, we managed to get the warrant to collect the CCTV footage from the Diamond and Fields buildings. We’ll head there right away, boss,” Rina exclaimed. Sam nodded while sipping his hot coffee. “Yeah, get it done quickl
CRIME BOOK 101 The Warehouse
CCTV footage shows a black van stopping in front of a building at midnight during the incident, pushing the victim out of the car, who then crawls along the sidewalk until their death. Erw tries to see who is behind the wheel, but the tinted windows are so dark that only a faint glimmer of light from what looks like a watch on the steering wheel is visible. "This is the moment of the incident; at eleven o'clock, this vehicle was seen moving from the east side of the road, coming from out of town and turning under the bridge to enter the area between the buildings. At that time, the building's security officer mentioned that there are usually cars that enter the alley between the buildings to cut through to another road, as it’s quicker to go this way than to go straight down the flyover to make a turn," Aries explains while clarifying the CCTV footage as best as Erw can.Dakota watches several short videos following a fairly large van with a covered back, resembling a laundry transpor

"Sam," Dakota's voice cut through, stopping Sam, who was too emotional. Finally, Sam sat back down, pushing his chair slightly forward. And took a deep breath.Sam showed the data on the tablet in front of the man again. "What business are you running? According to our investigation, you're not involved in buying or selling anything at all, unless you really are conducting some kind of trade here?" Sam asked. The man looked momentarily flustered but quickly changed his expression. "Uh, selling birds, fish, puppies, cars, ornamental plants." the man simply answers.Sam was starting to lose his patience; he almost got up to hit the man again because he looked down on him with his lies. "This man!""Sam!" Dakota called out a bit louder, now holding Sam's hand tightly to prevent him from actually hitting the witness. After releasing the second witness, Dakota mentioned that the man was indeed suspicious, hiding something quite important. Eventually, Rina and Aris followed him for tw
CRIME BOOK 101 The Place
The next day, at a hospital on the outskirts of town.Rosewell General Hospital. Located right outside Bayward."Doctor Ross is needed in the ER immediately, call for Doctor Ross" Voice calls through the speaker around the halls are still common in this hospital.Incidentally at that time, Dakota was also checking himself there, his doctor's practice schedule, Doctor Elbert was there, so he just go over to him, despite the other things, of course."What about this?" Doctor Elbert, the old neuroscientist, stuck a pen under Dakota's feet. Dakota nodded. He could feel a slight touch under his foot, quite clearly."Yeah Doc, I can feel it."Doctor Elbert smiled, he turned to the nurse who was standing beside him."This is a good sign, Dax, it means your nerves may be starting to improve, get regular therapy and you can walk normally again"Sam came in from outside and saw the nurse who was about to help Dakota get out of bed to his wheelchair. He's approaching fast."Eits, ouch, this Dako

Sam wandered around the hospital looking for information about patients who came after undergoing a transplant. Somehow the second-class hospital in the city became one of the hospitals with the highest number of similar patient arrivals among the others.“What about his current condition? Can he be interviewed?” Sam asked the doctor on duty at the ER at that time, Dr Akmer, a dark-skinned man with a slightly grey beard on his chin. The doctor turned his head and looked at the emergency room for a moment."That kid? I don't know if he wants to be asked by the police or not, because he looks so secretive. He doesn't even tell who he donated his kidney to, he doesn't have any family or friends we can ask.”Sam frowned.“Then, can I see his stuff? Clothes, shoes, or, cell phones?” Sam asked, he knew it was impossible for him to do without a warrant. But considering the young man was alone with no family or guardian, he could ask him directly when he regained consciousness."You can, but,
