CRIME BOOK 101 A Cow Head
“You, are not suspicious of Susan Aldrin? Do you really believe her? ”August grinned, he lifted his cup of tea, take a sip and put it back in its place slowly."Heh, from the beginning, I was, but all the evidence did not point at her. I have often said that she was no longer accepted in my house, but the woman kept coming and saying that she would tell Dakota about what happened when he was little, and tell the world about Dakota who pushing a girl down into the cliff. I can't let her do that, that would hurt the kid the most. The only way I could do to stall her, is just try to have a relationship with her, even if it's full of vigilance. Sam, you don't know how much I want to investigate all the problems that happened before that got Belinda killed, but I don't have any real evidence, investigating it could put everyone, Kim and Dakota in danger, No matter what, I don't want to take that risk"Sam looked at August, for some reason he didn't think the man was telling him all the tru

Dakota lowered his heavy head to the high pillow behind him."Heh, no matter what, they will have that engagement day, Sam, sooner or later, after all, we will always meet at all times, what will make Kim sad?"Sam stuttered, he scratched his head thinking."Em, well, because it's a very important day for her, all the family members should come, eh ..." Sam was speechless, he didn't think that Kim and Dakota had lost their mom. Silently Sam hit his mouth."Ouch."Dakota turned,"Sam, I want to ask for your help, um, what, do you have time to accompany me to the old house?" Dakota asked.Sam thought."Well of course, do you want to find something there?"Dakota nodded, he picked up his cell phone next to his body on the bed, searched for something and handed it to Sam."This, it's more or less like this"Sam looked at what Dakota was showing him, his eyes widening to see what was in the photo on the cell phone screen."Uh this ..." but Sam couldn't be too excited, Dakota would know that
CRIME BOOK 101 Eye On You
Aris stopped laughing and looked at his watch. It was already ten in the morning and they had to go back to the office before lunch. The cell phone in his jacket pocket vibrated, and the young man with short, neat hair like a soldier saw the incoming text message."Where are you guys? Please buy us lunch, Emma wants fish soup on the outskirts of town, and Boss too, he said if you have time, buy him the crispy chicken next at the toll as usual," an incoming message from Rina.Aris pursed his lips, as he replied to the message."Just say you are the one who wants it, don't bring up Boss's name, I'll tell him later"Rina replies quickly."What's the difference? It's me or the boss, he wants to eat it too, don't be fussy, just don't forget, okay?"Aris pulled his lips."This girl really loves to eat."He put his cell phone back into his jacket pocket and looked around, looking for something."Um, where's the toilet?" he asked.Ian pointed towards the small exit near the kitchen."There, go

Dakota turned his head when the door opened from outside. Smiling at Robert who just came in. The man placed a large bag of Dakota’s clothes on the sofa, he looked around the room.“Hey, Dax, where's that Sam? Why didn't he stay with you?" asked Robert."He's back in the office, there are Roger's men out front, so I just told him to leave."Robert sat beside the bed.“That guy, he should have told me if he’s going to leave you, you know we can't be careless about anything, at any time those guys could come attacking you”“Hey, don't too much, Rob, um, today you and Kim tried on a new suit and gown, wasn't it? Are you guys done?” asked Dakota.Robert crossed his arms in front of his chest and took a deep breath."Heh, your sister, she got a call from her office and said they had very important business that needed her presence. Without thinking, she just canceled the appointment we made since last week just like that. Heh, she didn't even ask what very important matter who need her to b
CRIME BOOK 101 Outsider
Sam looked at Emma.They are not finished, there are still active cases that are troubling them to this day."Emma, so what's the autopsy on Guy Russo, are you done yet?" he asked.Emma nodded. She got out of her chair turned at Erw to send her photos to the big screen."There's no sign of self-defence, this guy could have committed suicide or, he was attacked suddenly"Sam frowned at Emma's unclear answer."What do you mean? So suicide or not?” he asked.Emma shows some of Guy's post-mortem photos."This, this loop around his neck, is not parallel to the loop of his waistband, with such a hanging position, the trace of the loop should be around the front of his neck and up from behind his ears. Even though he tied it to his neck so tight, the weight of his body would still make the waistband shift up, not around the neck like this” said Emma, showing a photo illustration of the result of neck entrapment and hanging, both of which have different marks.Sam nodded."That's true, that'
CRIME BOOK 101 Cases
"What do you think I'm going to do Sam? Guy has no family, except me, he doesn't know anyone else who knows him better. I should, I've suspected him since the beginning of our meeting, he knows about what foods I can't eat if I'm also allergic to phosphorus, it didn't just appear on my employee report. I should have suspected it, but his sincerity caught me off guard.”Sam played with the pen on his desk and saw some of his members who had finished their work late into the night and one by one excused themselves. Rina and Aris entered from outside and stopped in front of him."That's called being human, Dax. We've all been careless once in a while, and you're no exception. I'll have Emma finish the report on Guy's body early in the morning. Hopefully, in two days, you'll be able to retrieve his body. Regardless of the crime he committed, he deserved a proper funeral. So far, that man has been instrumental in helping the District Six police deal with such a complicated case..”Dakota no
CRIME BOOK 101 The Belonging
The night at Dakota's apartment.Sam was just back from police headquarters and brought back Guy Russo's belongings in a medium-sized carton box. All the evidence has been tagged and recorded, so if any of it missing then Sam must be held responsible, this is because Dakota can't wait to see Guy's belongings which he believes that person must have left something that only he can find out what it is.The box was on the table in front of the sofa, in front of Dakota now. He had been staring at it for a while because Sam said he couldn't open the box until he had finished taking a shower. And Sam took a long shower.Dakota was almost tired of sitting in his wheelchair when Sam came out from the bathroom while drying his wet hair with a towel, he frowned at Dakota who was still in the position he was in when he got into the bathroom earlier."Why, why are you still there? Are you waiting for me?" cried Sam.Dakota pursed his lips, wanting to hit Sam in annoyance, and he still had the nerve
CRIME BOOK 101 The Engagement
Robert put Kim's arm around his and approached his father."Dad, of course, what do people say if they see the daughter of the esteemed Prime Minister as unattractive, it will become national news, Dad"August chuckled as he hugged his daughter and patting Kim's back."Who dares to talk about you like that? After all, what has to do with me, this is your party, instead, people will say that Kimberly's father is old and ugly"Kim let go of her arms, laughing lightly at her father's ridiculous face."Daddy"She stopped her laugh when she saw Sam there, the young woman smiled and came forward to hug him."Hey Sam, thanks for coming, where’s Dakota?" she asked while looking inside the big house.Sam nodded."Of course, I'll come, Dakota can't wait to come earlier"Kimberly narrowed her eyes, suspicious of him."Well, as long as you guys don't make a fuss in the middle of the event, I don't want this event that I have paid for quite a lot to ruin because of you"Sam smiled."I can't promise

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
