"That's what the Prime Minister reminded us, that Dakota should not be involved in this case, not in the slightest. He confirmed that, together with Ryan Keith, he had formed a special team for this case. So, remember, never discuss this issue at all, not in front of Dakota."
Sam pursed his mouth, looking away.
"Yes, but can you prevent him? What kind of trouble will come up before Dakota? He is so intelligent that he can predict where the story is headed just by looking at it. Can he keep it to himself? I think it's better to tell Dakota everything openly rather than keeping it to ourselves and wait for the right moment for it to blow up. You know very well who Dakota Sorensson is, he will find out somehow. Besides, Trouble is Dakota's middle name, and sooner or later, he will get hurt again. That brat."

CRIME BOOK 101 The Car
Aris read the report from the lab regarding the vehicle that had become a skeleton in front of him. “There is no evidence the victim ever got into this car? What about the front bumper? The trunk?" Aris asked. Andy shook his head. "I don't think it's likely that we'll find any evidence after five years. In that amount of time, anything could have been cleaned up, including any blood stains. The trunk hasn't been used in a while and there are many old, unused items inside. We even found a dead rat, which suggests that the owner doesn't take good care of the vehicle." Andy frowned when he saw the old vehicle. Apart from the color being worn out, the interior of the car was also worn out in several places. It is almost impossible for a vehicle this old to be brought back to the main road, it would not be str
CRIME BOOK 101 It's Raining, No, It's Not
Sam won't ask too many questions, but he is always observing. At one point, some people were conducting experiments on mentally disabled children. Even though Dakota may no longer be involved with these people, it is still important to remain vigilant. Anything can happen at any time, so it's better to keep one's eyes wide open.“There's a new guy on campus today,” Dakota said.Sam refrained from moving his hand. Dakota's willingness to discuss campus affairs was odd, as he had never shown interest in sharing information about his work, nor had Sam ever asked. Dakota only answered what was necessary."Oh really? New guy? Lecture or a new chancellor candidate?” Sam asked as he put the steak in his mouth.“New lecturer. He is a professor in the field of nerves and brain. You want to meet him."
CRIME BOOK 101 Careless
"The bodies look in very good shape," Sam said.Dakota wandered around the room looking at what they might be able to use as evidence. He looked at the door, the distance of the body from the exit, the food on the table, and some leftovers in the sink. The food in the bowl was unrecognizable in shape and appearance, but it was more or less like some kind of cereal and something like that. Their clothes were also T-shirts with spandex pants. It is possible that the time they died was in the morning before they started their activities."Did you guys open the window?" Dakota asked.Captain Lima nodded."That's right because the smell when we entered was so strong, there was a smell like almonds and burning smoke. If you smell it, it's usually a type of cyanide poison, but

Pinewoods Hospital.After such intense tension. Sam is now sitting in front of the waiting room with his face pale with worry. Buried his head in his arms and wouldn't stop blaming himself. Occasionally he stood up, took a step or two and sat down again. Doctor Elbert had not yet come out to give news. He stood up again, walked again, was about to sit down again when the door in front of him finally opened. Without thinking, he approached the doctor who was standing at the door."Then.."The old doctor smiled. He took off his mask and patted Sam's shoulder."Dakota is okay, lucky the substance only got a little on his skin, he probably inhaled it but lucky because he was wearing a mask he only inhaled very little. He just have a little chest tight, and will be fine after
CRIME BOOK 101 The Plants Club
Dakota showed Sam something on his laptop. "The towel was made of organic fibers, only a few communities purposely sell them, while lots of others will gift them, mostly it’s from nature lover clubs or kind of because the material is so good. Several clubs give away small towels for free as a welcome gift. Usually membership is monthly, up to yearly, there are also those who only pay when they come. Three of the clubs total with the exact towel. One club that rents out lockers to members who want them, usually lockers can be rented out on a monthly or yearly basis." Sam saw what Dakota was showing on his screen, his eyes widening huge. “Bayward Ornamental Plant Club, you mean, Dan Patt could have joined that club? What makes you so sure?" asked Sam. Dakota didn't need to answer, his eyes were clear enough. He zooms something on the end of the small towel, a small care label. “This has the club's logo, it's so small and almost similar to the letter on the usual care label. Kim used

“Roman Genn, eighteen years old. Last education, junior high school, sat in high school for a year but finally dropped out for certain reasons. It says here, you are quite a talented student, in the arts and sciences of biology, mathematics and physics. This is very great, why with intelligence like that, why didn't you continue your studies? I'm sure you can get a scholarship easily, right? Mr. Genn?”Rina saw the young man respond, even though she already knew the reason.The young man raised his face, looking at Rina with sharp eyes that were red from holding back tears.“What reason did you have to kill them? There must be something that made you so angry that you had the heart to kill five men who had nothing to do with you."Roman looked at Rina and Luk, taking turns. Then clenching his hands on the table, Rina saw hands with peeling skin, either because the work was so hard or because he was experimenting with chemicals. The young man looked very thin, he had even coughed a few

“Kim went to Boa today, right? Robert has been there since last week, he said he had a lot of work to do. There are quite a lot of patients at the clinic. Heh, that guy, it's so easy to make money," said Sam, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But as usual, he was just talking to the wind, Dakota wasn't at all interested in responding.Sam will continue folding the clothes of the young master who is still sitting leaning on his bed. The doctor had not yet come to discharge him. He was so serious about what he was doing until he heard the sound of the door opening from outside.Klek.Then, the sound of heavy footsteps on the velvet carpet of the VVIP floor. Sam widened his eyes, what was Kim doing there?"Oh, you said you were flying to Boa, what are you doing here?" Sam asked. Kim put out her bag, and sat on the couch with a sullen face. She looked at Dakota with sharp eyes, even though from his appearance at that time, he looked very ready to go to Boa."Well, just ask that monster, w

Someone Was Not There
But Dakota wasn't affected at all, even though Luke was teasing him."I just think, he had unfinished work here, it's very strange that he just disappeared like that," Dakota replied.Luke smiled. He nodded."Of course. But, I hear Mr. Meyers has a track record of moving from place to place and many people want him, he might be considering looking for a new job. I'll ask the campus secretary about how to handle a unilateral breach of contract, it's a real shame," Luke said.Dakota seemed to resume his meal, until her phone vibrated again, a notification from a group message. He picked up his phone and read it. He hadn't even finished reading it when he got a call from Sam.Zrrttt.
Besieged
Aris threw his hands up in the air.“Damn those kids, how old are they? Still bullying people like they’re still in high school,” he exclaimed angrily. He pushed the chair back with his body and stood up, leaving the room. Beni pursed his lips; his partner was really hot-headed. He then stood up and followed Aris out of the room. Before leaving, Beni took the time to tidy up the chair and put it back in its place before casually walking out of the room.***Heavy rain poured outside the wide hospital window. While waiting for the doctor to allow them to go home, Dakota and Sam sat on the sofa looking at some notes Andi had left on a flash drive—videos of himself. Meanwhile, Dakota read some diary entries the team found in Andi’s apartment. Sam watched several videos from A
Belinda's Journal
Yesterday morning, after spending the night in the detention cell, the officers found him dead, covered in blood, with a gaping wound in his chest. The boy had even pulled out his own heart and held it, perhaps watching his own heart stop beating until he died. A truly horrifying death for everyone who saw it.It was determined he inflicted the wound himself, using a spoon he’d taken from the officers’ dinner plates when they’d brought him in. His body was stiff when they found him; the night officer thought he was asleep because there was no sound from inside the room; he’d pulled the blanket tight around himself. There was so much blood it looked like a horrifying red pool in the room. Before he died, the young man had written some words on the wall. Sam really didn’t want to show it to Dakota, but how could he hide it?“They will come for you, Professor.”Those words—how likely was it that they weren’t meant for Dakota?Dakota saw the plastic bag Sam had brought from the office, so
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.

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 ?

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.

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

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.
