The atmosphere in the VVIP room was very calm. There was hardly any sound except for the soft hum of the dehumidifier next to Dakota's bed, who was already fast asleep. The door opened from the outside, and the footsteps were so quiet that Sam had to tiptoe to avoid waking Dakota, who was deep in slumber. It was almost midnight, and he had just run into Robert outside the room because he didn’t want to disturb Dakota’s sleep. “You said you’d be here soon, what’s ‘soon’ supposed to mean?” Robert said. “Sorry, there was an issue with the car, so I had to stop by the shop for a bit. At least it didn’t break down in the middle of the highway.” said Sam.“I’m not saying I was expecting you, but Dakota has been asking about you non-stop, and you said you’d ask him about who visited earlier. If you really can’t make it, I’ll just go to sleep in here without waiting for you.” said Robert.Sam shot Robert a sharp look. “You’re really chatty, just go home already. I’ll be here until tomor
….CW Campus. Economics faculty building, near midnight. The economics faculty building is located at the very front, separated by several main roads from the psychology. The building is known as this famous university icon and has the largest number of students. It was approaching evening and all the lights in every corner had been on. The last class ended at nine o'clock and the campus was starting to empty. Security officers began to search every hallway to check the condition of each room, from the air conditioner to the water dispenser, which some had forgotten to turn off.Two security officers went around each floor, they went up the stairs and separated to the right and left checking each hallway. Just shine a flashlight into the room through the glass door and look at the water lights and air conditioner to make sure everything is turned off."Heh, every day is like this, over and over again, there's nothing strange, why do we have to check it every day?" said the security off
Back to the police base.The squeaking sound of wheels from the gurney in the refrigerator fills the autopsy room. The refrigerator with a capacity of fifteen bodies had been there for a long time, for about ten years it wouldn't be strange if it started to need repairs.Sam tilted his head to look at the contents of the gurney, he frowned, there was no corpse as he informed, just a round object covered by a white sheet.“You said there was a new body in? So?” Sam asked.Emma pulled her lips, removing the white cloth covering the slightly round object. Sam was stunned, whether, from shocked horror or confusion, his reaction was always the same.“Um, a-head? Just this? Where's the body?" Sam asked looking around him."Yeah, just the head, this is what was found for now"Sam saw the cut from the head to the neck near the shoulder, quite neat as if it had been cut instantly. The blood had stopped and the head looked more like a Halloween prop than a real human head.“Is this all you found
…… In the city center.The sound of music from the piano keys in the middle of a five-star restaurant fills the tranquility of the sound. The sound of soft music with a melodious tone goes along with the calm and elegant atmosphere of the restaurant which can only be visited with advance reservations. A tall, big man with almost white hair stopped in front of the receptionist who immediately escorted him to the previously booked place inside.The man was ushered into the room and walked in until he approached the window where someone was waiting for him."Uh, pardon me, for being late, the traffic is so crowded and busy," said the man, the waiter pulled out a chair for him to sit on. In front of a medium-sized round table, someone was waiting while enjoying a selection of wine to fill the time gap. It was none other than Dakota who was sitting accompanied by two bodyguards who were standing not far behind him. Everyone in the room definitely knew that these two people were his persona
…..Interrogation room. A petite young girl, Anita Hans, has been sitting in interrogation room one since she received a summons from the police. The young girl, who had returned to her usual activities, kept her head down while inside. Both Aris and Sam have not entered the room waiting for the right time. For witnesses like Anita Hans, who has sat inside several times, either as a witness or as a victim, this may have become a habit. Or not? Sam thought wanting to see her reaction. Apart from that, he was also still waiting for the photos from Lucy's cell phone which showed Anita being dragged into Peter's car. From her position, it looked like Lucy had taken the photo from across campus.Sam turned around when he heard the sound of the door opening from outside."Why took it so long?" but it wasn't Aris himself who entered, there was someone else with him.“Dax, what are you doing here?” Sam asked seeing Dakota following Aris into the monitoring room. Two of Dakota's bodyguards were
Sam widened his eyes, stared at Dakota with big eyes so angry with him."Are you crazy? What if that man runs away? What day is it now?" Sam hurriedly grabbed his phone, trying to contact Aris who was outside the office.Dakota calmly turned on his laptop."He won't run away, Sam, he's too self-confident to do that, I'm just baiting him so he lose his guard and shows his real face, just wait for the right time"Aris answered Sam's phone."Aris, where are you guys? Hurry go to Andrian Carls’s residence and see if he is still in there"Looks like Aris was protesting on the phone. Sam widened his eyes."Just do it, you guys ask a lot of questions, keep an eye on the house and see whether he is still there or not, don't ask too many questions.""Tell Aris, let the man see them," said Dakota.Sam turned, looking at Dakota sharply."What does it mean to let him see Aris, that's not stalking"Aris on the other end of the phone asked."What boss?"Sam pulled his lips, don't know what Dakota wa
Dakota just looked at the man with his usual calm face.“Have you thought about the consequences of doing all this? Kidnapping a police officer is no small matter, let alone killing him," said Dakota.Andrian Carls smiled, straightening his body to look at Sam who was almost drowning, his head remaining tilted to stay on the surface."Andrian Carls, damn you, I will kill you if you lay your hand on Dakota, I will chop you to pieces!" Sam shouted, he struggled to stay up but as time went on the water got higher and higher until it reached below his neck, and the water came so fast, he could die if he didn't get out of there immediately."Shit!"Dakota saw Sam struggling, who knows what he should think at such a critical time, but what was clear was that Sam really needed his help. At least humans can only hold their breath for less than ninety seconds. Sam doesn't smoke, but no matter how healthy he is he won't be able to last longer than that. He had to think extra.“You don't think yo
"Don't overdo it Sam, you have to go to the hospital to check you in, the water in the bathtub could contain bacteria and fungus, you have to clean it from the inside."While uniformed cops come in to check the scene where Sam and Dakota almost lost their lives, Sam props Dakota past them."Yeah, I know, there was a professor who reminded me, of course I won't forget it. Oh look at the blood, there's a lot of it, come here, let me bandage it first."Sam stopped once they reached the ground floor, the old house was big enough that it took a while to get out. Don't know how Andrian Carls was able to get them there by himself, he is truly extraordinary.Sam didn't stop smiling, takes Dakota's tie to wrap the wound to stop the blood. He won't forget how Dakota was so worried about his condition, Dakota, who he knew have no emphaty, could feel worry about him.Dakota noticed Sam's ridiculous face."Why do you keep smiling, Did your brain damage from drowning earlier?" Dakota asked.Sam pur
