CRIME BOOK 101 Anything Weird
The next day.Dakota went back to his routine as a lecturer at CW, while Sam went straight to the office because he had so many files to complete. Not to mention new cases that have yet to be resolved.Dakota had just gotten out of his vehicle with Edi accompanying him towards the main building right in front of them. However, their case is still far from over, and the perpetrator of the kidnapping who collaborated with Andrian Carls has not yet been found. All still need to vigilante at this situation. Dakota was just about to head down the path to the building when her cell phone vibrated, an incoming call from Kim.“Yeah”Dakota nodded at several students who greeted him, then continued walking with his cell phone on."This afternoon I want to go to the police station, Sam needs all the help available, there are several new cases.""Don't act busy with me, we don't see each other often. Em, how about tonight, I've only had five days off from Boa, join me for dinner, I'll send you t
CRIME BOOK 101 Hoarders
Nutt.The door opened from outside. The automatic lights in the front area were on as he stepped in. Dakota almost jumped in surprise when he saw something moving on the couch in the dim living room.“Oh”Who else but Sam who with his pillow face sat almost asleep on the couch. He yawned profusely when he saw Dakota there, at first glance he looked like a ghost, with dim lights, messy hair, and a large white blanket that seemed to sparkle from the outside lights."Eh, you’re home, I was waiting for you and fell asleep"His hand was still holding a jar of expired fried peanuts which no longer tasted crunchy. Then straightened his seat and put the jar on the table, smoothing his hair up.Dakota approached, looking at Sam with an annoyed face. The clock on the wall showed past eleven o'clock at night."What are you doing sitting in the dark like that?” Dakota asked.Sam saw Dakota's hand placing a paper bag with a round red logo that he had seen for the first time, his eyes shone brigh
CRIME BOOK 101 Wonder Who ?
Sam lowered his body squatting in front of the hallway with very little light from the window which was covered by thick dark red curtains, not allowing much light to enter.“She probably spends more time here, whether it's sleeping, or reading all these books, is she really reading them? All these books are like new" Sam took the book closest to him, and dust could be seen gathering at the top of the pile of books, meaning it had been a long time since the victim thought to touch it.Dakota found a book at the bottom in front of Sam, face down with the pages open."General psychology and its applied sciences" is the book's title.Sam frowned.“She's a business lecturer, right? Do business lecturers also study this?” Sam asked.Dakota looked at the cover of the book, as he expected. It was a very old book, from when he first became a professor several years ago, there was his name at the bottom of the back cover of the book. Sam widened his eyes, was this just a coincidence?"Dax, don
CRIME BOOK 101 Neighborhood.
Sam's jeep came out of the small village area of Syla. Along the way, eyes were looked at them because they were foreigners. The village is small, with few residents and most of them are elders and young kids, so if there are new people there, they will notice them. Rina and Luk down to the street after stopping briefly at the minimarket on the way out of the village. They’re digging for a little information about the victim in case someone knows her. And it is, almost all of the people there know each other, they even know when the last time the victim was returned to her house. The timeline is more or less the same as the victim was found, or, at least part of the victim's body because until now they still have not found the rest of the body yet. Did the perpetrator cut her off and throw them in different places, like what happened to the meatball stall victim some time ago?Sam glanced at Dakota who was sitting next to him. They stopped for a moment on the side of the road while
CRIME BOOK 101 Another Door
“Conductor company, private, district five”Soon many round, yellow company logos appeared on Erw's screen.Erw looked at the video clips and logos, trying to narrow the search."There are around twenty-five privately owned conductor companies, all of their registration numbers start from 09," said Erw.Dakota's pair of light blue eyes played left and right, the light reflection from the monitor screen was visible in his clear glasses’ lense.“Not here, try looking outside the Bayward area. District five companies sometimes set up factories outside the administrative area to reduce tax payments.”Erw nodded, that made sense, he thought, starting
CRIME BOOK 101 Let's Make A Visit
"What is it, Sam?"Sam points the camera towards the wreckage, at the bottom. Where there's some kind of a door on the ground."It looks like there's an underground room, it’s so heavy, metal door, and dirty. Looks like it's never been open for a long time," said Sam. He was trying to pull the door which was locked with a large padlock.Dakota watched carefully until the video call from Sam started glitching."Sam"Sam pursed his mouth, the reception in the small village was quite worrying, especially before it started raining like this."I will record a video for you to see later, the reception is so poor"Dakota nodded. Not long after, Sam's phone call ended.As he put his cell phone in his pocket, Dakota's gaze fell on an elderly man pushing his cart. For some reason the big wheels are difficult to move, maybe they are caught in something. He looks like he's having trouble. Even though he doesn't want to get his hands dirty, he can't just let people who are having trouble in front
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

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. He came out of his room, and saw Dakota who was ready at the dining table in the kitchen. As usual, chef Edi looks quite busy in the kitchen.Don't look at his appearance like that, what is clear is that his monthly salary is much bigger than Sam's, he knows that from Kim. 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
