Dakota received a call from Sam who sounded very annoyed. While Bella helped him put his clothes into the bag for him to discharge from the hospital tonight, even though Dakota had told her not to. The young woman hadn't moved at all since morning, and it was past lunch.
"Maybe he really doesn't know what's in it Sam, and people like him who don't need anything usually have lots of money, he could have bought the bag with his own money"
Sam stood in front of his desk, watching Aris and Rina arrange the board of fame where the team put photos of people who are suspects in all their double cases, whether related or not, but from the results of the head autopsy found in a slimy bag, Emma confirmed that he was Rita Faris’s deceased husband, who she said died of a heart attack more than a month ago.<

Whose marriage? Everyone who invited him is an official, what does that have to do with me?”Dakota held his breath for a moment."Let me see, Rog, I can't give you any promise, yeah, alright."Dakota hung up the phone, was about to set it down on the table beside and found Sam looking at him curiously."Eh, why didn't your Dad call you instead?"Dakota pursed his lips.“He called last night, but I was asleep”“I heard about the wedding invitation, whose wedding?

Is it the corpse?” Sam asked, covering his nose.Emma who does preliminary checks on the corpse stood up from her squat."No boss, it's not from this body, from the stiffness, this man died about two to three days ago.

In the hospital.Doctor Bella was seen in the room helping Dakota to get discharged from the hospital that afternoon. The woman looked around as soon as Dakota entered the restroom. She pulled something out of her jacket pocket and tucked it into a small pocket at the side of Dakota's bag, a small pocket she thought the young man would rarely open. Bella straightened up when she saw Dakota coming out of the toilet.She smiled seeing Dakota approaching, but for some reason, Dakota felt the doctor was a bit suspicious."Em doc"Bella patted the bag of clothes."I've put everything in your bag, are you ready Dax?"Dakota glanced at his watch for a moment, for some reason but he did find the young doctor a bit odds."Em wait a moment, Sam said he is on the way to pick me up, no need to bother you doc""Hehe, it doesn't really matter, you know, I'm a new therapist, my patients are still limited, so I have a lot of free time, I can take you home "“That's weird, this hospital needs a lot of

The sun was shining very hot that morning. Sam's vehicle almost exploded from overheating. After traveling about an hour from downtown Bayward, he stopped in front of an empty grass field near a residential area, where a resident who was fishing at the time found a large suspicious bag on the side of the river. The bag, which he opened on a whim, turned out to contain pieces of the human body such as part of the stomach, legs and arms.Residents began to pile up, even though the police had put up a police line but the crowd could not be avoided, and even some mass media began to sniff out the terrible finding.Sam took off his sunglasses and looked around.

Brukk.Headquarters.Sam had just parked his car, got out and stopped for a moment while taking off his glasses."What she’s doing here?" narrowed his eyes looking at the cafeteria where Dakota and someone who was none other than Doctor Garth sat together.Emma who follow his car ever since approached Sam.“Boss, Aris and Ian said that they were on their way to deliver the remains of the bodies they found in two opposite directions. All stuffed into large travel bags and thrown in holes, whether it was a well or in a dry septic tank in the semi-finished building area.”Sam nodded."As Erw suspected, the man was deliberately looking for a place away from light in accordance with the requirements for removing body parts"Sam was about to speak again when the cellphone in his pocket vibrated, a call from Rina."Yeah, Rin" Sam and Emma walked together towards the police building."I’m coming, wait a minute"Sma stopped his steps and patted Emma's arm who also stopped."Um, when Aris comes
CRIME BOOK 101 The Evidences
"It is a kind of large and long knife, resembling a butcher's knife, unfortunately, the condition of the corpse cannot be identified which part was cut first and so we may be able to estimate the size of the knife," said Emma.All teams gathered in the meeting room that morning to hear the explanations of all parties.Emma showed photos of some large knives that more or less resembled the weapon used."How did you determine the size of the knife Em?" asked Sam.Emma pursed her lips. Of course, she knew, working as a forensic for all these years allowed her to subconsciously distinguish between each type of weapon used on the victim, and now, that's coupled with evidence from the lab."This, the cuts are quite neat, and not repeated. It is estimated that the knife used is wide and of course, it must be someone with very strong strength who can do it, like a butcher or something, someone who cuts meat almost every day. But the kind of cut for two bodies this is different from Bob Faris's

The roar of the large wheels of the vehicle could be heard faintly from the cabin. Sam carried his hummer down the main downtown street into the setting sun. Luckily, the hour after work had passed so the main road wasn't as busy as usual.“So you guys have solved the mutilation case? What about the eye found inside the Bob Faris restaurant?” asked Dakota."Hmm, that's, until now we haven't come up with any idea how the eye ended up in his own restaurant, while Bob's body parts are at Dan Royce's house, chances are, Bob may have been murdered in his own restaurant then Dan Royce took his body to his house to be dismembered. But we haven't found out what weapon Dan Royce used to cut Bob Faris at his house” replied Sam.“That means, Rita Faris could be involved in the murder of her own husband? And, didn't that kid say why he went to the shophouse?" Dakota asked again.“Well, you saw for yourself how the kid was, didn't you Dax? He doesn't say much, and we can't force him either because

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

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.

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
