CRIME BOOK 101 Back on Routines
Dakota had just finished class that morning. Recently he has returned to being a permanent lecturer with a regular class schedule. The classes were getting busier and he could have two classes a day. He can go to campus three times a week, so he is very busy. And it's true, after the exposure of the mine explosion case twenty-five years ago, Dakota's days became very safe. No one was stalking him anymore, so he just used Edi as his personal driver to take him everywhere. Meanwhile Phil was employed at another location, while many of the Sorenson family's security guards followed the Prime Minister on assignments out of town, guarding the mansion and guarding the old house which was in the process of being renovated.Life seems to go on as usual. Not at first, this is more than before because previously Dakota's life was very messy, he don't know where to start. Now, after much has been revealed, he is freer to be himself, doing whatever he wants without limits.An admin officer approac
CRIME BOOK 101 New Man in the Town
Dakota put the phone on the table beside his hand, looking at Luke Osborn who had been waiting for him. The man was so stunned to see Dakota that he forgot what he was going to say when Dakota saw him.“Mr Osborn”The man smiled awkwardly.“Hehe, yeah, thanks for coming. You've ordered, I haven't even ordered anything. Um, just a latte, thank you, and a red velvet," said Luke to the waiter who was still standing next to him. The young waiter nodded and headed towards the inside of the cafe.Dakota looked at the man for a moment. He didn't have time to read the profile, because he was never interested in anything related to selecting Chancellor and such, it was none of his business, whoever was sitting there, it had nothing to do with him. And he also didn't know what the man purposed by inviting him to coffee at that time. Luke Osborn smiled after sipping his coffee, he enjoyed it."This is so good, just like what my secretary said this cafe is famous for its delicious coffee. The cake
CRIME BOOK 101 Fireflies
The sun shines brightly in the garden surrounding the main building of the CW Psychology campus. Second floor, where the lecturers' offices are located. Dakota was still sitting at his desk checking several assignments that had piled up on his desk. He was so serious about checking every part of the assignment that it had become his routine while he was on campus. Eli, his assistant approached with several new piles, placing them next to the pile of papers that he finished checking."What is that, El?" asked Dax. Despite not seeing the young final-year girl put down the stack of papers.Elis, a cute girl with thick glasses who is working on her thesis, smiled. She straightened her body while raising her heavy glasses which had almost fallen.“This is the profile of the students who will receive scholarships. You just need to check it for the last round, the rest are finished."Dakota glanced at the documents in the folder, it seemed quite a lot compared to before. Time certainly passed
CRIME BOOK 101 Mentally In Troubles
The morning class ended with Elie sharing the test results from a few days ago. One by one the students came out and took their paper."These are the results of the written test, a summary of the results can be seen on the website, log in with your respective student identification numbers. There will be a follow-up test for those who think their score is still below standard, all you have to do is submit it online and it will be reviewed for the follow-up class which will also be held online, outside of regular hours. Please always check your email regularly," said Elie while handing out written exam results.Dakota shut his laptop and looked at his phone which had been so busy since the class started. Message from Sam.“I'm at your campus, there was a CW student who was found dead in the uptown, not far from our apartment, it looks like she committed suicide, but maybe not. I'll go to your office, wait for me, okay?"Dakota just read it, not intending to reply. He put his laptop into
CRIME BOOK 101 The Orphanage
Sam glanced at what Dakota was reading so seriously that he didn't pay attention to him, or in other words, ignore him."Does it have to be finished as soon as possible?" Sam asked.Dakota nodded."Yeah, so tomorrow Eli can send it to the chancellor's office. Some of these students need scholarships more than anything." He was almost done, a total of around one hundred and five students received scholarships that year.Sam widened his eyes, the professor was indeed a hard worker. Seeing what Dakota was doing made Sam think."That's right, what, previously you also handled the scholarship for Mira Rosa?" Sam asked.Dakota turned around. He shook his head.
CRIME BOOK 101 The Kid
"There was the fifth kid, you said one was returned, what made him back?" Dakota asked. Lucy looked at the old woman for a moment before answering. The old woman nodded. “Eh, that..” ….. The sound of the wheels of Sam's jeep could be heard quite clearly in the cabin. Time to head back to town after getting the information they need. The head of the foundation has also provided the address where the fifth child was adopted by a small family two years later. It is on the way to the city, there's no harm in visiting them. Even though they don't know what they will get there. Sam looked at Dakota who was looking at several photos of the foundation people who had adopted four mentally retarded children. Those people appreareance looked like smart people from an institution, not just a normal family, like what the assistant of the orphanage said. “What do you mean by suspicious?” Sam asked Lucy who was leading them toward the parking lot. The woman looked around, as if afraid that som
CRIME BOOK 101 The Parent
He looked at Dakota for a long time, then continued their steps towards their room, it was already three in the afternoon. Looked like his men were out to do their work, there was no people in there. Sam approached the water dispenser and grabbed two glasses for he and Dakota, taking them to Dakota's table and sitting on the edge of his desk. Thinking out loud. “Looks like we have to visit the foundation, whether that's its real name or not. Erw might be able to trace his address." Dakota looks at Sam. "That girl, she took her own life, how about asking her family to take her body?" Sam lowered his glass of water, taking a deep breath. “Heh, yeah, that's so weird, why none of her family came to take her body. Well, that's right, her family definitely knows where the foundation is, right? Or, they are people from the foundation?” Sam asked. Dakota tugged at the corners of his lips, did it take Sam long to realize that? ….. Bayward's third district. The fire brigade truck was se
CRIME BOOK 101 The Mummies
Emma showed the preliminary report she had compiled. “The victim, Rudy, his wife and child died due to a severe blow to the head. The back of Rudy's skull was badly fractured, his wife's on the crown, while his son's was on the side of his right ear. Possibly a blunt object such as a baseball bat or something like that. There were traces of resistance resembling knife cuts on Rudy's palms, his feet and hands were also hit by knife cuts. This is the second weapon, possibly a short, wide knife, resembling a machete. And son, there were fracture marks on the boy's legs, the right shin and the left knee. It's still not known what cause it, it could be due to a fall or being hit." Sam looked at several x-rays of the bones of the three victims. Emma worked quite quickly considering the body only arrived yesterday afternoon. He looked at Aris. "Aris, pay a visit to this man's old wife's house, then this man reportedly has a property business with his partner. The building belonged to the t

Sleeping Like A Baby
The young man’s face… it was like the face of the stabber at the mall yesterday. He was clearly a special needs child, possibly one of the children from those secret laboratory experiments.Dakota looked at the three campus security guards standing watch, batons in hand. A few more guards were just appearing behind them. Luke moves in front Dakota to keep him from harm.“Hey kid, calm down. Do you know what you’ve done? You just killed someone. You’re smart, you don’t want to die stupidly or go to jail, right?” Luke asked, though he knew it was too late to talk him down, he still had to try.The young man grinned, raising a long, kitchen-knife-like blade that gleamed sharply. He wiped the remaining blood on the blade with his tongue, licking it clean. Luke fought back a wave of nausea.“Oh.”“They study air theory, let them feel what it’s like to fly through the air. That&rsqu

Bad Feeling
Emma sat back down, and it was now Rina's case. Sam looked serious until his phone in his pocket vibrated. A call from someone he wasn't expecting, just as he thought. Jack Moris from the federal agency."Yeah," Sam said, getting up from his seat. He glanced at Ron across from him, then got up to answer the phone.“You’re incredible! We haven’t even released any reports to headquarters, how did you know about this? Did you plant spies in our office?” Sam asked. Jack Moris’s voice boomed in his ear; Sam had to pull the phone away, his ear aching from the man’s thunderous tone.“Ouch, that’s loud,” he muttered, pressing the phone back to his ear.“This might not even be the same case. Why don’t you let us handle this first? You won’t be late getting information, trust me. It could just be a random attack, like what usually happens. Anyone can go crazy, right? Are you sure this is

What's Your Desire ?
Morning comes. The sun shone brightly until it hit the highest part of the Bayward One tower and reflected all around it. The busyness of the metropolitan city has been visible since the sun was bright. Far below, the city's main roads are starting to fill with vehicles of all sizes sharing the pollution.Sam had just put on his leather jacket, today was going to be a busy one. He had to go early in the morning to the office for the weekly routine meeting and to analyze the various cases that were piling up.The bombing case at the center has not yet been resolved and several other cases have emerged. He came out of his room, and saw Dakota who was ready at the dining table in the kitchen. As usual, chef Edi looks quite busy in the kitchen.Don't look at his appearance like that, what is clear is that his monthly salary is much bigger than Sam's, he knows that from Kim. Sam just wanted to resign and become Dakota's personal driver, that would be more profitable

A Killing Machine?
It was getting late, midnight, and Sam had just finished cleaning up. He came out of the bathroom, toweling his hair with a small towel, his upper body bare except for a towel around his waist. He approached the bed where Dakota was already sitting, opening his laptop."Wow, it's midnight, my dear professor. Time for bed, why are you still working?" Sam said, stopping beside Dakota.Dakota looked up, seeing Sam's slightly wet, bare upper body displaying his muscular chest. Sam seemed quite proud of showing it off.Dakota just pursed his lips, ignoring Sam and continuing to look at his laptop screen. Sam smirked; he'd intentionally teased Dakota, but the young man was completely unaffected. He'd hoped for some kind of reaction.Sam sat down next to Dakota. But before he could sit on the soft bed, Dakota moved the pillow from his left side onto the bed, preventing Sam from sitting down."You can get a blanket from the closet. The couchis very s

More Than A Family
Dakota looked at the takeout container Luke had placed on the table. He watched him slowly sit down."Aren't you with guests? Why aren't you eating with them?" Dakota asked. Luke waved his hand dismissively."Let my secretary keep them company, I said I had important business. Look at this, supposedly amazing steak, almost perfect reviews. Next time we have time, we'll eat at the restaurant, they say it's much better there."said the man excitingly.Dakota looked at the logo on the box."I tried it last week with Sam."said Dakota.Luke's hand movement stopped; he looked disappointed."Oh, really? Was it good? How’sthe rate?" Luke asked."Yeah, pretty good," Dakota replied casually.Luke placed the plate in front of Dakota and carefully took out the neatly arranged steak from the box. Even though it was in a delivery container, the restaurant paid attention to quality, keeping it aesthetically pleasing wit

What's The Connection ?
Rina approached their office just as Sam came back in after dealing with the attackers. She looked annoyed.“Boss,”Sam turned. He was applying a compress to his jaw, which was swollen and slightly red from the hard hit.“What about the woman? Did she confess?” Sam asked.Rina and her boss went into their office. It was dark outside, and the air was getting cold. Everyone was exhausted.“She’s very good at making excuses, Boss. According to her secretary, there was information about a room that couldn’t be used; she told Amelia because she was in charge of the seminar. After that, she got word to move everyone to the auditorium at the last minute. All the information fits Amelia Roy’s alibi,” Rina replied.Sam sat down, wincing slightly from his bleeding lip, a souvenir from the thug’s punch.“She must have planned everything meticulously. Find out the woman&rsquo

A Brawl Broke Up
The wail of sirens echoed in the distance. Fire trucks had arrived and were tackling the blaze that erupted from an explosion of some electronic equipment in the now-destroyed auditorium building. Several ambulances pulled up, administering first aid to the victims, including Dakota, Luke Osborn, and Sam, who sat on the side of an ambulance, their faces and bodies covered in dust."Here, let me brush off your clothes," Sam said, brushing thick dust from Dakota's sleeve. They both looked like they'd just cleaned out an abandoned warehouse.Dakota had some scrapes on his forehead, and his clothes were torn; besides the aches and pains from the impact of the debris, they seemed alright. Medics bandaged a gash on Dakota's arm and Luke Osborn's forehead scrapes."Why did they target this building? Man, this was built less than two years ago. If they wanted to blow something up, they should've gone for that old building behind the lab," Luke said, propping his chin in his hands.Sam sat b

Not In A Good Place and Time
"Having no one to eat with is kind of weird, right? Is Mr. Meyers still reaching out to you?" Luke asked as he opened his takeout bag and pulled out his food, setting it in front of him. Dakota closed his laptop, watching Luke unpack his meal from the carton and arrange it neatly. The guy even opened the chopstick wrapper to hand it to Dakota."Why would he reach out to me? We're not that close," said Dakota.Luke raised his eyebrows at Dakota's response. "Oh, really? I thought you two were close. He often invites you to lunch and waits for your class to finish. If that's not close, then what is?"Dakota opened his lunch box. For some reason, he felt like trying the wet noodles Rina had recommended a while back; they looked pretty good."We have lunch together too,

No Time for Fever
The sun shone brightly, breaking through the curtains and hitting the long sofa in Dakota’s room. Sam lay face down there all night, still in the clothes he wore yesterday.“Ouch, my body,” he turned over, feeling sore after sleeping on that couch all night.Even though it was the softest, highest-quality sofa money could buy, it would still be more comfortable to sleep in a bed. He remembered that last night because he was so tired, he fell asleep on Dakota’s very tempting bed, so why did he end up there?“Boss, let’s go out!” Edi’s voice still echoed in his head. His forehead was hot, and he was sweating even though the room was cold. He pulled himself up and sat, glancing at Dakota’s neatly made bed. It was nearing noon, eight in the morning when h
