CRIME BOOK 101 Old Case
Robert turned the steering wheel out of the hospital area and kept looking at Dakota sitting next to him. His face looks quite serious."Dax, what are you thinking?" he asked.Some memories that appeared in Dakota's dreams popped into his head, he tried to put all the dreams he remembered quite clearly together."That girl, I never heard Kim or Dad mention a girl in the past incident, they only said about my mom falling off the balcony and instantly passing away, about how I fell on the stairs and hurt my head. I guess, there's a lot going on that Kim or Dad hid from me, and, it's probably related to the girl.”Robert frowned."A girl? Then, do you recognize her?” asked Robert.Dakota shook his head."I didn't, but when I saw the photos, I think I'd seen her somewhere, maybe deep in my memory because I don't think I've known her for that long"Robert stopped his vehicle in line with other vehicles at a red light intersection. At that time Dakota turned and saw several people crossing t

………………..Before long, a rather big fat woman with a smiling face, the head of the housekeeper and the Prime Minister's favourite chef came out carrying a bowl of side dishes that were still steaming from the heat."Yes, sir. Oh, Mr Dakota, why didn't you tell me if you wanted to come, this old lady would purposely go to the market to buy your favourite abalone."Dakota smiled flatly at the woman he had known all his life, she had been working at the prime minister's house since he can remember everything."Hehe, no need to bother, ma'am, all your cooking is always delicious."The stocky woman chuckled."Hehehe Mr Dakota always has a sweet mouth, then, please enjoy all the food, okay?" ……………………..After a while, dinner was finally over. Dakota and the Prime Minister were seen sitting on the front terrace enjoying the night air while talking together, while Robert looked around the house. It because he knew Dakota would like to talk with his father alone without anyone else disturbing t

“You know, you can't keep this from Dakota, how long will it take? He is very smart, and he is also starting to remember everything that happened. This time you have no choice but have to tell him all the truth. Now you know that Dakota wasn't the cause of the girl's disappearance after you doubted him for a dozen years.”August stared at Robert for a long time."I never doubt my son, not in the slightest. I've always believed that he wasn't that careless enough to make all these bad things happen, That kid was born a genius, He didn't talk much, but he was smarter than every kid even older than him. But, he was in shock, he was still too young to remember the bad things. It's better to forget them than make him grow up with all the worst thoughts because he can't remember what happened.”Robert pulled his leg from his place in front of the Prime Minister."Still, that's why you have to tell him everything, don't make him question everything anymore, it's not fair for him"August held

Sam entered the area of the three-story mansion located at the front of the Sorenson family mansion compound.Since the bad incident that happened to the hostess, Dakota's biological mother, and to keep Dakota away from bad memories of that incident, August Sorenson decided to move to Bayward to raise Kim and Dakota there.Sam widens the door. The key to the mansion, including the key to the main gate, was given by Roger after they handed over the finding of the bones to the police. No matter what, the Prime Minister couldn't just wash his hands because the remains were proven to be in his house complex. The man was so cooperative and gave Sam's and the department fully access to the case.Sam pointed to the large room where all the furniture was covered in a white cloth that was starting to get dirty from being neglected for a long time."Emma, take all the pictures of the room here, all the angles without exception"Emma frowned for a moment, trying to adopt Sam's orders."Um wha
CRIME BOOK 101 Buried Alive
Bruk bruk bruk.Sam ran down the hall with Roger behind him. The two stopped quickly after arriving inside the forensic division room, right outside the morgue where Robert and Rina were standing. Everyone looked into the glass room where Dakota was in his wheelchair and Emma was standing with their back to them in front of a pile of bones sitting on a cold table. Some of which have been separated for Emma's autopsy.Sam turned Robert's hand toward him.“I told you not to say anything to Dakota, what are you doing bringing him here now?” said Sam in a slightly high-pitched voice.Robert let go of Sam's grip, looking at him with piercing eyes.“Who do you think Dakota is? He seems to know everything before anyone else even mentions it. How long do you think you can keep this from him? After all, he deserves to know; he's the one who revealed the location of the body.”Sam held Robert's hand again, Roger and Rina tried to separate the two so they wouldn't fight."Still, at least wait unt

“Yeah, boss! I'm just going to tell you after I'm sure because up until now I couldn't find any photo of Imelda Russo's biological father, boss” Erw's voice.Dakota turned to listen to Erw over the loudspeaker.“How come there are no photos at all? Twelve years wasn't fifty years ago right? There must be a lot of photos, such as a driver's license, or a marriage certificate, or, social media, didn't social media exist before?” Sam asked again."I just got the photo from his old ID, boss, and boss, you wouldn't have guessed, what is Imelda Russo's biological father job was"Sam and Dakota looked at each other, both thinking.“Um, gardener? Didn't his parents apply for a job at the Sorenson residence at that time?" asked Sam."That's her biological mother, applying to be a waitress, Imelda Russo's biological father is Guy Russo, he worked in the biggest drug company in Z city back then, as one of the scientists"Sam thought hard, he bit his nails."Is there a chance that this Guy Russo c
CRIME BOOK 101 The Origin
Ngiinggg! The sound of the metal door being pushed open.The women's prisons were cold and damp, with very little light from the sunlight that streamed from the small windows above the walls. One detention room can accommodate up to five female prisoners, all of whom sleep on long couches in the middle of the room. There is a small room for toilet on the corner and a small cupboard for storing books and minimal make-up equipment.In general, the third-class prison didn't seem very scary and cold, it looked like an ordinary room generally, just there was no access to get out of there.A person sitting with her knees folded while reading the book raised her head when her name was called by the prison guard who was already standing in front of the open iron door.“Katrin Danes!”Katrin Danes, whose face looks much thinner and innocent without makeup, turned her head. Didn't expect his name to be called after so long.Before long in the small room for the inmate and her guests.Sam and Rin
CRIME BOOK 101 Someone From The Past
"Looks like it's going to rain, if you take too long I'll call the car to take me home, well, then hurry up"Dakota saw Thomas sitting quietly leaning his back on the chair, he smiled when he saw the waiter who placed his order on the table."Thank you"Dakota nodded."Okay, I'll be waiting"Dakota put his cell phone back on the table."Isn't Sam going to pick you up? How can he allow yourself here when he knows the current conditions are still very dangerous for you. They can come at any time to take you away, right?” asked Thomas.Dakota furrowed his brows, he didn't recall telling Thomas what had happened to him, but it seemed that his former comrade was quite observant."Um, they? Heh, I'm not sure if they're really after me or just trying to scare me, cause until now we don't even know who they are. I'm tired Tom, whoever it is, they can come and say whatever they want from me if that's what they think I still have it.”Dakota reached for his cell phone, looked for some photo file

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.

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

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.

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.

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
