The man still waited for Ron's answer and glanced at his assistant to opens the door. Who was so rude to charge in when he was angry?"Hey, Rud who is that, just throw them out. Don't they know we're busy here? What a rude," he exclaimed. Rudy, his assistant shifted his body, allowing who was already in front of him. Who else but Dakota came late because of his class that morning?

Bella smiled at the waitress who had just poured red wine into her wine glass. She sit in front of Dakota who that night looked very handsome with a neat suit. Dakota had just attended a lecturer seminar on his campus earlier this morning. And Bella happened to be asking him out to have dinner, to celebrate the end of her internship and back to her town by the end of this weekend. Due to Dakota's busy schedule, he could only take her out to eat on weekdays."So your case is getting worse now huh?

CRIME BOOK 101 The Alibi
"What did you get Erw?" asked Sam who was standing in front of his desk in their study.After a day of bringing many witnesses into their office, it caused a moment of excitement because of some witnesses such as Norah Wails. The team still doesn't get any meaningful clues.Early in the morning, Sam had gathered everyone in their study. The central police gave them a few days to uncover the crimes that took place in the Bayward area. Which, however, caused a stir in the electronic mass media to the national level. The pressure was so heavy when Sam's team was already well-known everywhere.“Until now, all witnesses have their own alibis, boss. The only ones who could have the opportunity to get these people through the port of call were the transport workers themselves. But we don't have access to CCTV since the transport ship has its own network, they must have recordings because some CCTV is seen in the ship's area inside and outside,” said Erw.“Well, we have to confiscate them manu

"Condition? What does it mean?"Dakota pulled out a cell phone that had been in his jacket pocket. Find some photos and show them to Norah. The woman widened her eyes, seeing what Dakota was showing her now.“Th-this”“Well, you must have heard about the case of people smuggling in containers, right? A total of fifty people died horribly in the containers that boarded your transport ship. Only two of them managed to survive and now the two of them are also in danger of dying because all the functions of their vital organs have started to deteriorate. They got into a forty-foot container with so many people crammed into even sharing the musty and smelly air. Sleeping on their own excrement, until slowly and sadly dying one by one. The living only had to wait for the time for them to come along with their comrades who had already exhaled their breath. I know you used to live in a very narrow barn with your two younger siblings, so small that you couldn't even pee and had to hold it in wh
CRIME BOOK 101 The Container
Based on the CCTV footage that Norah gave. The team began to collect witnesses or perpetrators one by one. Although it's not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Some faces, almost all faces in CCTV don't appear in the search system so they have to search for those people the old way. By Ask.Sam and Dakota, together with the team sat in their room watching CCTV footage where about four to five big men escorted people from small children to adults, men and women into containers. In the last video, the two realized that the date was less than a week ago and the container looked different.“This, recently?” asked Sam.Dakota nodded."It seems so, this ship just sailed from Merka port five days ago, Sam, is there any chance that they are still on their way?" asked Dakota.Sam furrowed his brow in thought."That can't be Dax, Erw made sure all Norah's ships were docked at the port, the last one was last night"Dakota looked at Sam with big eyes.“That means these people are still in th
CRIME BOOK 101 Time is Running
Three large men had their hands handcuffed in front of them. They were lined up in the interrogation room waiting for Dakota's decision to interrogate one or all of them. Because time was ticking and there was only Dakota there with Ron.He and Ron sat in the monitor room.“Dax, are we going to ask another team to help interrogate them? We can find the container sooner.”Dakota saw some of the men. Big tall men with muscles sticking out of the thin, tight t-shirts they were wearing. The jeans are torn, tattooed, and have piercings in the ears. Some are even seen to have tints from the nose to the eyebrows. The men didn't look like the ordinary staff. And Dakota did recognize them from the CCTV footage where they pushed the men into those containers. Dakota examined them one by one.The very front is a bit shorter than the others. His face looks calm and rarely looks forward, occasionally he will lower his head to correct the position of his clothes. Of the three, the man at the front l

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

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
