"Boss, sorry, there is a vehicle that has broken down and blocking the way, please wait a moment, they are moving it, stay where you are, don't go anywhere," said Edi on the telephone.
Dakota looked around, looking for Edi's whereabouts.

Sam nodded.“Hemh, this is suspicious”Rina nodded."That's true, Boss, but her nephew's alibi when the victim died is very clear. He was at campus activities outside the city for ten days, meaning that when the victim decided to commit suicide he was not near her. Luk and I had left the summons at his house because he was still out of town. The plan is that he will come tomorrow morning. And Boss, Erw also found some of the victim's notes in a journal on her social media, which were intended for her family."Sam pursed his mouth, thinking.“Heh, she must have been so desperate to do that, even though starving for ten days doesn't just kill a person. In theory, at least she would be in a coma until she slowl

Come on, please enjoy, the next dish will come out soon, I hope you like it"At that moment, Sam and Dakota appeared on the pathway. Sam greeted everyone with a smile, but he knew he was merely an obstacle in their eyes—everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of Dakota Sorensson."Hi, Good night all"Sam glanced around.

The night was getting late when the Vice President invited the guests to stay at the resort they had prepared. The workers also can't leave the island unless they have their boat. Dakota's words to dismiss all the guests also didn't necessarily make everyone disperse. For those who insist on returning to the island that night, officials will be sanctioned by the Vice President, while prominent people, unless they come by helicopter like the Dakota, will not be able to return before dawn tomorrow, because the new transport ship will leave tomorrow morning -very early morning.

A little woman dressed as a maidservant and a young man in neat clothes who was known to be George Cann's assistant. Sam walked in, looking at the people one by one and at Dakota, who was sitting in his chair as if waiting for something.

Here," Aris handed me several sheets of colored printed paper with several photos on them. The woman only glanced at it, and didn't continue.The woman seemed to change her facial expression. The calm seemed to fade. She squeezed her hands. It’s were the pictures of car accident scenes.“What does this have to do with this case? Are you deliberately showing that the police know everything? So, is that really true? Do you know what happened?” asked the woman, raising her head to see Aris' face. Aris looked at the woman's eyes, pursed his lips. He pushed another photo."You also know Lily Larsyn?" Aris asked.
CRIME BOOK 101 Too Cold Tonight
Meanwhile, At one of the five-star luxury restaurants in downtown Bayward, not far from apartment. The sound of soft music filled the sound gap. Apart from the soft sound of a spoon meeting a plate, or a glass being placed back on its saucer, there was no significant sound from the half-whispered chatter of the restaurant visitors, all of whose guests came from the upper classes. Dakota just took a sip of Bryan Meyers' choice red wine, which tasted, well, quite good for him, then put it back on the table slowly. Bryan Meyers seemed to be enjoying the dinner, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face since earlier."It seems like the police are very busy now, even on a Sunday like this you are still working until late at night. Are there any new cases?" asked the man.Dakota just looked at the man for a moment, then lowered one leg that he had been crossing.

Sleeping Like A Baby
The young man’s face… it was like the face of the stabber at the mall yesterday.

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

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?

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
