CRIME BOOK 101 A Piece of Cloth
Ron almost choked on the coffee he had just inhaled. Almost spilled it. He looked at Sam who was looking at him with sharp eyes.“Am I that cruel as a boss? By the way, who am I to order a Dakota Sorensson anyway?”Sam glanced at his boss again sharply."So you never told him to do it all this time? You always send us here and there. It turns out this is how you've been working all this time?"Again Ron looked at Sam sharply. What was going on in his subordinates' minds? Why does he look annoyed?Sam folded his arms in front of his chest. Remember what Dakota said to him last night in the car on the way home? He was about to continue but Dakota fell asleep because of the drug as soon as they returned to the apartm
CRIME BOOK 101 A Middle Class Bag
Sam glanced at Dakota. He waited too long for a brief explanation.“The bottom line, Dax”Dakota looked at Sam, pushing his glasses back up slightly.“Temporary suspicion is that the bag belonged to Mike Arlo. The bag was seen when he entered campus several days before the victim was found. But when he last went to the office to provide information, the bag was gone. And not just that time, several times it was seen on CCTV cameras that Mike Arlo no longer used that bag when he was at college."Before this, Dakota headed to Erw's room to check the CCTV footage he got from the campus to see where the victim was. The victim's activities before she was found dead and several details about what time she arrived and when she went home. And several times Dako
CRIME BOOK 101 It was a Live Broadcast
You can see video footage with poor lighting. Three students, Mike Arlo and two others seemed to be on top of a fairly tall building."Where is this? Did you get the address?” Sam asked.Rina pursed her mouth."There is no information about the exact location, Boss, this is a live broadcast recording from Mike's social media which has been archived. Erw managed to find it after looking for a while. Mike protects his social media quite tightly, so it took a while for Erw to open it. From the view, it resembles a building roof but the surroundings look like they are not in an urban area. Lots of grass and tall plants at the bottom. This was highlighted a little, but because it was dark we couldn't see it clearly, Boss."Sam watched the video carefully.
CRIME BOOK 101 Weather Forecast Today
“Dax, don't get too close. I already said this was a bad idea, you'd better just wait in the car, the rain is getting heavier." Sam was worried because Dakota was still unwell. He grabbed Dakota's umbrella handle and held it. Dakota looked at him sharply. Then ignore Sam's exaggeration, he thought.“Even though there is no safety fence, this part is quite safe. The wind blows from the front through the sides. But, on the night of the incident, the wind wasn't blowing this hard, so it's very unlikely that the victim fell because she wasn't careful," said Dakota, looking around him. Sam nodded. He looked around him and found several lower floors that were quite prominent, so if he fell from there the victim's body should not fall directly to the bottom of the building unless it was due to other reasons.'That's true, but, any trace will be gone by now
CRIME BOOK 101 Neatly Cut
"Excuse me, Prof, someone is looking for you," said Dan, the officer on duty at the front. Dakota turned his head, seeing the young staff coming with someone who was standing next to him. Smiling from afar raised his hand to greet Dakota."Hi Prof"Dakota didn't really know him, a tall, thin man with thick glasses and sleek hair who smiled until his eyes disappeared. Don't know if it was because he was so happy to see Dakota at that time, but what is clear is that Dakota wasn't.He waited for the man to approach because he still had a lot to finish before leaving his class. His assistant Rudy took some books on Dakota's desk. He smiled and said that he would tidy everything up. Dakota pulled his lips, he was Rich Barmot, the man the Dean said would come looking for him to discuss the latest book recommended by the campus. Dakota doesn't care about any books given by the campus, whatever it is, it won't affect his teaching methods. However, some time ago he did not agree with some of t
CRIME BOOK 101 Bad For Eyes
“Boss”Aris entered the room in a hurry. Sam was just enjoying the wide noodle soup that Luk had just brought earlier. Aris' face looked quite serious as if he had just seen a ghost."What's wrong, Ris?"Aris looked at Sam with his big eyes. Sam pulled his lips.“At least let me finish this,” said Sam raising his chopstick and eating in his big mouth......The shutter sound of the camera dominates the area. The water flowing between small rocks sounds loud among other natural sounds. Far from the crowds, quite far from the main road. Although they still can hear the sound of passing vehicles, from large to small on the highway. Several large forensic vehicles had stopped and parked in front of where Sam parked his jeep. He and Aris, on the other car, stopped after driving for quite a long time on the road from downtown Bayward to the connecting road to the small village of Syla. Aris received news from the local police about the discovery of the body of the man they had been looking f
CRIME BOOK 101 The Motive
Sam stood in front of Emma who had just finished autopsying a new corpse in her room. Her work was quite fast, super doctor Emma Larson had completed the autopsy very quickly. He hadn't even asked for it. Emma showed the pale body of the ugly man who had been in Sam's head for the past few hours since he saw him naked.“The victim was hit with a blunt object from behind. Here, the back of his head was a little cracked and soft, like he had been hit quite hard with a heavy tool like pliers or something. Then, the most fatal thing is this thing." Emma showed an iron rod resembling an ice pick about forty centimeters long which she placed on the table next to the corpse.Sam was about to reach for the object but Emma stopped him."I wouldn't touch it with my bare hands, Boss, I just pulled that thing out of the victim's buttocks."Emma's words were straight to the point. Sam withdrew his hand, folding it back to its original position."Oh, you mean, he died because of this thing?"Emma no
CRIME BOOK 101 Human's Nature
“Those people, deserve the worst. Ernie, he, the woman put her hand in, in... he was, in fact, only six years old at the time. He talks about all of it on our last day together. He drank so much and was drunk that he said all that. We never know what happened. He finally said it. He was so devastated that he fainted every time he thought about all that trauma." Ben Ruiz lowered his head, crying silently. He clenched his hands into fists, trying to grip his own hands to reduce the pain in his chest that was trying to escape. Aris and Beni pursed their mouths, even though they didn't know what happened, but the emotions of a mature young man in front of him showed that it was very hard for anyone to even hear. “The man stripped little Ernie's clothes and forced him to run without a single piece of thread on his body to go home. He threatened the innocent child, saying that if he was naughty and told his parents what was happening there, he would insert an ice stick into his anus. He sca

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.

Sam just wanted to resign and become Dakota's personal driver, that would be more profitable

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.

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
