District three, suburban Bayward shopping and entertainment area on Central Oak Avenue.The loud music from the nightclub could be heard on the streets when the front door was opened. The long queue at the front of the club forced Aris and Ian, who were about to break through, to show their IDs to get past another queue. At twelve o'clock at midnight, both of them are working overtime following a tip from Erw about their witness's whereabouts.The colorful lights from inside the club room can be seen briefly outside the club reflecting off the stagnant water on the highway, shortly after the heavy rain earlier. The rain was still drizzling but that didn't make the visitors discourage them and keep coming to the nightclub which is famous for being crowded and open for up to 24 hours.The loud music banging on the wall and shaking the floor. The dim with colorful balls light spinning around at the ceiling with lots of smoke hovering in the air. Yeah, that's a nightclub like the other nig
CRIME BOOK 101 The Missing Loly's
Meeting room.The team had gathered to present their latest case that morning. Sam glanced at the files in front of him, and find the picture of the search area that Erw was taken from his drone's camera. Monti family home complex. He had studied the case while at the police academy, a case that went viral twenty-five years ago when he was even a toddler. He remembers skimming through some of the documents because the case was a mystery case with very few clues so this case became one of the cold unsolved cases. Even though the police have issued a verdict that this is a domestic crime, which means that the crime was committed by members of their own family.He remembered that night a few days ago.Clek!The sound of doors opening and closing. Sam walked into the consultant's room and approached Dakota's desk, carrying a cup of hot chocolate that was still steaming hot when he placed it on the table. He had not seen his colleague all morning until now.Dakota looked exhausted and leane
CRIME BOOK 101 Not A Relative
In the police headquarters parking area, Sam hurriedly stepped out of the building, chasing after Dakota, who seemed ready to leave the station that afternoon. As usual, he probably had a class at CW. “Dax!” he called out. Dakota didn’t slow down, even though he wasn’t moving very fast due to his still somewhat weak legs. Sam finally grabbed his arm. "Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I still have something to ask you about" said Sam.Dakota glanced at Sam’s hand on his arm, and Sam quickly realized and let go. “Uh, sorry! Do you have time? I want to talk about something.” Dakota checked his watch. “Sorry, but I have a class in an hour. Can we talk another time?” he replied. Sam looked at Dakota very seriously. “Teaching again? Aren’t you tired? Teaching and being a special consultant, I don’t get why you love that job so much. Come on, let’s grab lunch and talk. You’re so busy that we never have time to chat.” said Sam.To Dakota’s surprise, Sam took his hand and pulled him in
CRIME BOOK 101 Move
Dakota stood next to Sam in the monitoring room, feeling relaxed since Sam had forbidden him from going out to teach. He even contacted his university and told them that Dakota was on leave indefinitely; what was that idiot thinking, Dakota wondered, feeling annoyed. "Well, what else are you guys doing over there? Get back to the office! Are you planning to stay there all day?" Sam shouted into his phone. Ron walked in, glanced at Sam who looked busy on the phone, and then at Dakota standing in front of the row of monitors behind the technician. Ron spotted an empty chair in the corner and pushed it closer."Dax, you can sit down. Your leg still hurts, don’t stand for too long, you know how Sam is," Ron said.Dakota looked at Ron and then at the chair he had pushed in front of him. He returned his gaze to the monitor in front of him."Thank you, sir, no need I’m fine" Dakota replied.Sam finished yelling at Aris and Ian on the other end of the line, hung up, and walked over. He shot
CRIME BOOK 101 Clueless
"Hey, are we done yet? My time is very valuable; I can't just sit here all day doing nothing. Do you know how much I get paid per hour for a live appearance?" said the pretty girl, one of the members of Darno's book club, who was invited by Rina and Luk to the police station. Allen Harvey sat next to her. "You think you're the only busy one? Me too; I still have a lot of tasks to finish before they’re due tomorrow morning. This is such a waste of time." said the young man.Several male and female students from Rocketfield campus were invited to the office for further information regarding the Missing Doly case. Instead of finding connections to Anita's disappearance from yesterday, the team stumbled upon something else entirely. Rina and Luk, along with two uniformed officers, stood in front of a line of students they suspected might be linked to Anita's disappearance, which had occurred weeks ago. Each person there had their own alibi. "You can go home, but remember this case is s
CRIME BOOK 101 The Girl
CW University.Dakota had just finished his first class and waddled outside the main building to walk to the cafe. He will have a lecturer meeting soon and can't miss it again this time.Dakota was just about to walk down the steps onto the pathway leading out when his cell phone vibrated. Incoming call from Sam."Yeah, Sam"Sam is on his driving seat leaving the main road along the small road leading to district one. Only a few vehicles, including his, were seen passing by. The air was getting warmer and hotter from the sun making him cover the sunroof of his hummer to reduce the heat. Sam grabbed the sunglasses from the dashboard and put them on."I have something to do, not long, just wait at your office I will pick you up after finishing, don't go anywhere, you hear me?"Dakota pulled his lips, saw several students passing by, and greeted him."No need Sam, I'll call Edi and ask him to pick me up""Who is Eddie? Oh, that driver of yours? You can't Dax, Kim said he's been assigned o
CRIME BOOK 101 Unidentified Body
Sam grumbled all the way while Dakota is about to fall asleep. Sam looks annoyed to see who Dakota met without telling him."Never mind Sam, she just happened to come to campus, it’s no big deal""You said it’s no big deal? She may be the one behind the girl's disappearance, and so far we haven't ruled out her alibi yet. So she is probably the most dangerous by far."Dakota felt dizzy, maybe partly because Sam had been talking all along. Not to mention that the road in front of him was badly jammed and he was forced to stop his vehicle while cursing. Sam turned and saw Dakota who closed his eyes while massaging his forehead.“Do you have a headache? Want me to send you to the hospital? Kim said it's time for your regular check-up."Dakota shook his head."No need Sam, it's already night, it's better to just go back to the apartment, I can go there by myself tomorrow"Sam pulled his lips, drive his vehicle when the vehicle in front started to move."Stubborn," …..Aris and Ian were sti
CRIME BOOK 101 Dinner
The sky was starting to turn orange on the west side of the city park. Some of the park workers were about to clean up their equipment to end their day's work. Large men in green shirts and vests with the words gardener printed on the back approached the woodcutter which had just stopped operating after all the logs and small twigs had been milled. Then it will be taken to the warehouse for city workers to be processed into other materials."It's so hot today, won't it rain again?” Said the elderly man who had part of his beard turned grey, flicking his hat while sitting on a plastic chair in the area for the workers to rest. Another younger colleague approached. He drank a lot of water from his bottle and looked at the sky around them."It looks like it's going to rain, look at that black cloud, it's moving closer from a distance"The older man nodded."That's right, it is getting closer, we should have go home in a hurry"The older man looked at the young man beside him.“Oh yeah, by
