CRIME BOOK 101 Too Clean
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
CRIME BOOK 101 Name Card
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
CRIME BOOK 101 Innocent Kids
“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
CRIME BOOK 101 Who Is That?
The man, Harry Wills, aged fifty-six years was picked up by local police after obtaining a warrant from the Bayward district attorney. He looked so calm, even though Sam had shown several photos of him in the backyard of the CW campus moments before the victim's head was found."I just wanted to meet Miss Ryan, she said she would pay me after I helped her move her furniture and stuff from her apartment to her house. But it's been weeks since she hasn't paid me."“Earlier you said you only wanted to buy necessities in town. Why did you go to meet her on campus, why not just wait at her apartment? This isn't his working hours either," said Sam, pointing to the photo where the man was standing in front of his truck on a night. The light from the street lighting showed his face quite clearly.“That's because she didn't show up, so I purposely waited there for her. Where else do you think I would wait? She didn't come home to her apartment for several days, I was waiting for her there but
CRIME BOOK 101 A Piece of Cloth
Ron almost choked on the coffee he had just inhaled. Almost spilled it. He looked at Sam who was looking at him with sharp eyes.“Am I that cruel as a boss? By the way, who am I to order a Dakota Sorensson anyway?”Sam glanced at his boss again sharply."So you never told him to do it all this time? You always send us here and there. It turns out this is how you've been working all this time?"Again Ron looked at Sam sharply. What was going on in his subordinates' minds? Why does he look annoyed?Sam folded his arms in front of his chest. Remember what Dakota said to him last night in the car on the way home? He was about to continue but Dakota fell asleep because of the drug as soon as they returned to the apartm
CRIME BOOK 101 A Middle Class Bag
Sam glanced at Dakota. He waited too long for a brief explanation.“The bottom line, Dax”Dakota looked at Sam, pushing his glasses back up slightly.“Temporary suspicion is that the bag belonged to Mike Arlo. The bag was seen when he entered campus several days before the victim was found. But when he last went to the office to provide information, the bag was gone. And not just that time, several times it was seen on CCTV cameras that Mike Arlo no longer used that bag when he was at college."Before this, Dakota headed to Erw's room to check the CCTV footage he got from the campus to see where the victim was. The victim's activities before she was found dead and several details about what time she arrived and when she went home. And several times Dako
CRIME BOOK 101 It was a Live Broadcast
You can see video footage with poor lighting. Three students, Mike Arlo and two others seemed to be on top of a fairly tall building."Where is this? Did you get the address?” Sam asked.Rina pursed her mouth."There is no information about the exact location, Boss, this is a live broadcast recording from Mike's social media which has been archived. Erw managed to find it after looking for a while. Mike protects his social media quite tightly, so it took a while for Erw to open it. From the view, it resembles a building roof but the surroundings look like they are not in an urban area. Lots of grass and tall plants at the bottom. This was highlighted a little, but because it was dark we couldn't see it clearly, Boss."Sam watched the video carefully.
CRIME BOOK 101 Weather Forecast Today
“Dax, don't get too close. I already said this was a bad idea, you'd better just wait in the car, the rain is getting heavier." Sam was worried because Dakota was still unwell. He grabbed Dakota's umbrella handle and held it. Dakota looked at him sharply. Then ignore Sam's exaggeration, he thought.“Even though there is no safety fence, this part is quite safe. The wind blows from the front through the sides. But, on the night of the incident, the wind wasn't blowing this hard, so it's very unlikely that the victim fell because she wasn't careful," said Dakota, looking around him. Sam nodded. He looked around him and found several lower floors that were quite prominent, so if he fell from there the victim's body should not fall directly to the bottom of the building unless it was due to other reasons.'That's true, but, any trace will be gone by now

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

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.

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
