CRIME BOOK 101 Woke Up
The sun was shining brightly, reflecting off the glass of the tall skyscrapers in downtown Bayward. The sounds of the bustling metropolitan city echoed faintly up into the beautiful Bayward sky, which was a bright blue with a few fluffy white clouds resembling a smile welcoming the lovely Sunday.Sam had just finished his delightful shower, having barely managed to close his eyes for less than two hours since returning from Cyan, from the Prime Minister's private residence on the west side of the city near the capital. He dried his wet hair with a towel while walking over to his desk, checking his phone that had been vibrating for a while.There were a ton of messages in the group chat; he hadn’t had the chance to read them since last night. “Boss, Lucy Lowe's car has been at the office since last night, boss. It’s clean, no blood or anything,” Rina wrote. Next message. “Boss, we got news from one of the drug suppliers outside the city and plan to head there this afternoon. Do yo

“Did you find his accomplice?” Dakota’s question made Sam think, furrowing his brow as he considered that. “What do you mean, his accomplice? Why are you so sure he has a partner and isn’t working alone? We’ve asked him, and he hasn’t mentioned a second person; if there was one, he would have brought it up, right? Even accidentally. And indeed, Emma and the team found foreign fingerprints in the room, and they’re investigating it.” said Sam.Dakota glanced at Sam for a moment, then looked at the tablet he had placed on the table. “I saw the video; there’s something off, Sam. He must have a second accomplice, or maybe even a third.” Sam nodded. “Well, that’s what we’re trying to figure out, Dax, but considering Charlie Ruiz’s file is complete, we might hand it over to the prosecutor’s office soon. They’ve been pushing us since last week. Our time is limited.”Sam looked towards Dakota for a long time. “He got the drugs from people at the nightclub. Aris and the others have al

“Boss.” Rina approached. Sam returned to the office that morning. He needed to see for himself the condition of Lucy Lowe's vehicle, which had been dismantled by the technicians and was now in the police garage, its interior completely taken apart, yet they still hadn’t found any signs of blood inside the car. “Hemh, if this vehicle isn’t suspicious, then why was Lucy hiding it in Peter Rowen’s house?” Sam turned to Rina, who was standing behind him."Maybe it's because this car has already been cleaned, boss. There's still some cleaner residue on the seats, and the smell of chlorine was really strong when the car was first opened, but now it's starting to fade." said Rina.Even so, Sam's eyes were still on the car, which had become just a shell inside. He straightened up, examining the interior of the car lined up next to him, from the front seats to the back, looking closely. "Have you guys been able to contact Lucy Lowe? Where is she right now?" Sam asked. "According to her ho

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
CRIME BOOK 101 As It
…… 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
