CRIME BOOK 101 The Remain
The bones have been taken to headquarters and are now on Emma's autopsy table for examination. Meanwhile, Rina was standing in front of Sam and Dakota who were sitting in the meeting room with Luk and the others. Erw was also seen sitting at the end of the long table. Several photo slides of the victim were seen on the large television screen when they were found in the Rowen family's large house."From the results of the DNA examination, the victim was Bella Monti, fifty years old, who was reported to have disappeared two years ago by her adopted daughter, Lucy Lowe," said Rina explaining the results of her search.“So what Lucy Lowe said is true? If she really suspects that her mother vanished in the Rowen family's big house. This is going to be very messy” said Sam.“Two months before she disappeared, Bella Monti reported to the police about the Monti family case, saying she had strong evidence about who committed the murder. But the local district five police said that the day aft
CRIME BOOK 101 Kill, or be killed
Night comes. A gentle breeze blew several banners outside the cafe. The atmosphere that night was quite calm, not many people there, Sam pulled a chair and sat in front of Dakota. He just ordered coffee and his favorite tuna sandwich, pushing Dakota's cake. He likes sweets these days.Dakota turned, hearing the sound of Sam's heavy breathing. They had just closed the murder case of George Cann and Lily Larsyn, but for some reason, that made Sam look less enthusiastic than usual."What are you thinking of?"Sam sipped his coffee. Even though the sun had set an hour ago, he still didn't want to miss his second cup of coffee that day. He hadn't had time to touch it all day because the coffee machine in the office was off, which made him annoyed.“That man made many pe
CRIME BOOK 101 The Traces
Dakota continued enjoying his coffee and piece of cake, until his phone vibrated. He turned towards the road where Sam's vehicle had pulled over. Sam stopped the car, approaching Dakota.“Dax, are you done?” Sam glanced at Bryan who was sitting in front of Dakota.“Detective Danson”Sam just nodded lightly, helped Dakota grab his bag, and waited for him to stand up. Dakota seemed to glance at a small box on the table."That's for you," Dakota said in a very cold way and walked away.Sam was stunned, stuttering, glancing at what Dakota meant. He looked at Bryan who nodded.“This, for me?”Without thinking, Sam grabbed the box and followed Dakota."Hey Dax wait for me, this guy"In the car.Along the way to the elite area on the edge of the city of Bayward, another resident of the Rowen, Sam couldn't stop smiling. He glanced at the cake box he had put in the back seat through his rearview mirror, making sure it was still there. Dakota seemed to be able to hear Sam's happy voice continuin
CRIME BOOK 101 Midnight Guesses
Meanwhile, in the big city center of Bayward.The police sirens wailed loudly in the super modern and busy downtown Bayward. There is an annual event in the city center that is the center of everyone's attention, the streets are jammed. People were walking around with colorful clothes and name tags. The sidewalks for pedestrians are decorated with beautiful banners all the way to the large dome arena in the center of the city's art activities.Several well-known local and foreign media had filled the front area to cover the city's annual grand fashion show with special guests from high classes. One of them is Kim Sorensson and Robert Auckwin. But an extraordinary incident occurred that afternoon, beyond what usually happened in previous years. A police cordon had covered the venue for a fashion show from the famous designer, Mogus, where in the middle of the stage a white tarpaulin could be seen covering a lying body with blood still seeping onto the cloth. The forensic team, Emma, an
CRIME BOOK 101 The Model
Not long after, in the meeting room. Aris is assigned to handle their new case, The Model. The victim was a famous model who died in front of many people's eyes, even on a live fashion show broadcast. The news went viral very quickly in today's media with many allegations starting to circulate among the public in just a few hours.Sam saw the report that Aris and the CSU team collected last night on his tablet. There is also information from his manager and several close colleagues.“The victim was Lary Bishop, age twenty-three, the family located outside the city of Bayward and on their way here. In last night's round, his manager said that Lary should not be in that round, but another model, Gustav Ruin."Sam glanced at the screen where Aris and his friends had collected several photos, including photos of the victim and also the other model mentioned just now."Then, where is the person?" Sam asked.Aris pursed his lips."That's it, Boss, the manager said that Gustav didn't come wi
CRIME BOOK 101 Another One
Unconsciously, the big man licking his lips.Dakota just looked at the man with serious eyes, not realizing what the man's gaze meant to him. Sam came and stood in front of him, Sam showed his ID right in front of the man's face blocking his naughty view of Dakota."Hey take care of your eyes, it will come out soon"The man didn't seem to care, he pushed Sam's hand away to see Dakota more clearly, but Sam persisted and glared at him.“Hey”Finally, the man looked at Sam, changing his expression to annoyance.“Can you move aside, please? You just disturb my work at my highly busy hours, who is this man anyway, security!”Annoyed Sam showed his ID again right in the man's eyes.“Look at this carefully, do you want to be arrested for harassment? That look of yours could be interpreted as harassment, you know that!”The man widened his eyes, and swallowed hard as if he had woken up from the spell. He pulled his lips to see Sam's face which was clear to his eyes now."Why are you so fierce
CRIME BOOK 101 All Of a Sudden
Emma nodded.“Most likely like that, Boss. Arsenic can cause blood vessels and organs to explode, causing the body to release gas that affects the color of the victim's skin. The effect on each victim is different, it can cause changes in skin color, and in some cases, it is not visible at all. But what is most clear is that, as soon as it enters the body, the victim dies within minutes, even seconds."Sam stood, straightening himself, stroking his chin.“Hemh, very dangerous poison. They still use it until now." Sam glanced at Dakota who was looking around the room. He had to keep an eye on him or else the person would cause harm to himself, who knew if the poison was still in the room?"Dax, put your mask on, who knows if the poison is still left in this room," Sam shouted, coming closer and helping Dakota put his face mask on. Dakota just looked at Sam with annoyed eyes. Dakota stopped in front of a fast food wrapper that was on the table near the window. On a large plate, there w
CRIME BOOK 101 It Was Dark
“Stop!”Chiiitt!A loud buzzing sound was ringing inside Dakota's ear.The sun shone brightly through the glass windows on the VVIP floor of Pinewoods hospital. Slowly, Dakota opened his, beautiful blue eyes exposed to a little sunlight. He raised his hand to block the light which, although not very bright, hurt his eyes. His head was dizzy, and his chest hurt, in fact, his whole body hurt as if he had been hit by a heavy object pressing on top of him. There was a needle and a long IV poked into his left arm. Several monitoring cables were attached to his body from his chest to below his waist. Did he go back to the hospital?Dakota turned his eyes, hearing someone sitting near him get up from his seat.“Hey Dax, you're awake, how are you feeling?”Robert Aucwin was already there, smiling at the top of his head.“Rob, you're here, what happened?”Robert smiled. He sat on the edge of the bed."What else, you were unconscious last night. Sam took you to the hospital and the doctor said

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.

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
