Genius Detective With Broken System

6. Incident

*Kreek

Louis opened one of the doors of the room.

“Looks like it's been here a long time” Louis started sorting out the scattered human bones.

"What exactly happened here?" Edward muttered in shock at the sight.

The state of the place looked like it had been abandoned for years. the bones in the room gave Edward chills.

After exploring the room, it turns out that not only there, but also a room that goes underground and also contains exactly the same room but a lot more.

"This... much more than the first hotel..." Edward said as if in disbelief.

"What did they do to these people?" Edward walked down the hall with Louis.

"No matter how you look, this is a research laboratory" Louis looked at the room one by one.

"Is the government behind all this?" Edward was curious.

Louis turned on his flashlight and started looking around, Louis found a room that seemed different from the others. The room contains a large photo frame.

The white walls and the lights that didn't turn on made the photo look scary, Louis pointed his flashlight at the photo frame.

"Ed!" Louis called.

Edward came to where Louis was then investigated the photo on the wall.

"Who's he?" he asked.

Louis lowered the photo frame hanging on the wall and released the photo there. Louis rolled up the photo and then gave it to Edward.

After that, Louis rushed out and looked at other places. Louis and Edward eventually found six different photos in different rooms.

"Louis, find out about the person in the photo" Edward said.

Louis took all the photos that had been rolled up then took them out of the room.

But just before he left, Louis found an object lying under the chair of one of the chairs in the room.

It is an injection that has been used for a long time.

"This is definitely some kind of lab experiment" Louis said to Edward.

After that, they came up with some clues after tracing the entire grounds of the villa.

When Louis came out he found a man who was seen watching Louis and Edward from outside the villa.

As soon as Louis saw him, the man got on a motorcycle and just drove off. Edward who was still in the villa ran out after hearing the sound of a motorbike.

"Who's that?" he asked.

"He's acting strange..." Luois said.

"Tch, if we chase him now, we won't make it" Edward annoyed.

"Don't worry, over time he will also appear again, I have remembered it"

"A black-haired man with a beard and mustache that blends together, a Honda CBR600F3 and he looks like he's a smoker" Louis said then headed out to Edward's car.

Before Louis could get into the car, Edward pulled him back and the car exploded causing Louis and Edward to crash back into the villa's courtyard.

Edward stood with a slight wound on his arm from the explosion while Louis was blown quite far from where Edward was.

"Louis!" he called.

Louis tries to stand up and notices a shard of glass hitting his eye. Blood came out of his eyes like running water.

"Louis" Edward rushed over to the injured Location. Louis seemed to pull out the broken glass and made the blood in his eyes more and more.

Edward saw that and immediately tore his clothes and used it as a bandage to reduce the bleeding.

"Tch, I didn't think this could happen" Louis said with a straight face. He looked fine after Edward tied the piece of his shirt over Louis's eyes.

Louis stood and stared at the car in front of him which was charred with the remains of the flames still burning.

"My book is inside" Louis said.

"We can't go to the hospital if we don't have a car" Edward thought.

"Tch, it really hurts" Louis held the bandage attached to his right eye with a straight face.

Edward looked around and noticed that there was a village not far from that place.

"Let's go to the village and treat your wound first, can you walk?" Edward picked up the photos and syringes he had found earlier.

"At least my legs can still move" Louis said.

Moments later, Edward and Louis arrive in a village on the outskirts of New Jersey.

"I can't contact other people, my cell phone was damaged due to the impact of the explosion" Edward kept pressing his cell phone button.

"So does mine" Louis also felt the same way.

"How can he still show a face like that after getting injured like that? He's also walking as usual... doesn't he feel pain?" muttered Edward.

"I know what you're thinking, just so you know, this really hurts..." Louis said to Edward.

a while later the two of them arrived at a village. The villagers seemed to gather after seeing Edward and Louis covered in wounds.

They were warmly welcomed and treated by the people in the village. But unfortunately because this village is a remote village, so there is no telephone that they can use.

There are also no vehicles passing through the village.

...

Two days later.

New Jersey, April 25, 2000.

Morning came, and Louis was still sitting quietly on the bed of one of the houses in the village. It was a house belonging to one of the uninhabited residents.

His right eye was covered in bandages to the side of his head as well as several bandages on other parts of his body due to burns.

"Louis, are you awake?" Edward came into the room.

"This afternoon we have to go back, there are many things that need to be investigated... including the attempted murder that we got a few days ago" Edward opened the window of the room.

"Shit... She must be waiting for me now" Louis said in a small voice.

...

"Thank you for your help, we will not forget your kindness" Edward thanked the villagers who had helped him.

"The child is still not cured, at least stay longer" Said one of the residents who tried to convince Edward to stay.

"We have very important business so we'll excuse us first" Edward intended to leave but was always stopped by the residents.

After a while, they managed to get away from the village and started walking down the street.

"How much do you think those people got paid?" Louis asked occasionally glancing at the village behind him.

"I don't know, but that seems enough to make them live properly" Edward said.

"Is that also the government's doing?" Louis took his cell phone out of his pocket.

Edward was silent at that. of course there is a big thing that is hidden by the government related to this case. Until it makes them dare to try to kill the investigating detective.

A while later the two of them arrived at the villa they had been at earlier. The fire in the car was extinguished but its charred state made it impossible to use it again.

"Ugh, terrible" Louis held the burnt cover of his book.

"We'll get to the highway if we walk for the next two hours" Edward said.

"Well, luckily I brought one book with me at the time, so this trip won't be boring, I guess..." Louis took out a book from his bag.

He carried all items such as photos and syringes in a bag that he got from the villagers.

"This is a big case, what would Dave say if he found out about what we were going through..." Edward muttered as he continued his journey with Louis.

"Do you still see that little girl often?" Edward opened the conversation.

"Well I see, even this morning I should have an appointment with her" Louis said with a straight face.

"Are you really interested in her?" he asked.

"I don't know..." Edward was still busy reading his book.

"This child... doesn't have feelings for that kind of thing, even he doesn't care about his mother's death... so there's no way he's attracted to that little lady because of a special feeling."

"What does this brat want from her?" Edward muttered while looking at Louis who was reading his book as he kept walking.

"Ugh, my reading speed is getting worse because I only use one eye.." Louis held the bandage on his right eye.

Three hours later.

"Ugh... these old legs are so tired" Edward stopped and sat on the side of the road.

The two of them had tried to stop several passing vehicles but no one seemed to care about them.

Moments later a truck approached and stopped in front of Louis and Edward.

Edward looked relieved that finally someone was willing to quit after all this time.

Louis snatched one of the pistols from Edward's waist then hid it in his socks and covered it with his pants.

Edward was taken by surprise and Instantly a group of people got out of the car and pointed guns at them.

"Now what??" Edward raised his hand.

"Your weapon" said one of the men who pointed a gun.

Edward took a gun from his waist and dropped it at the man's feet.

"You too" The man pointed his gun at Louis.

"I'm 16 years old, I don't have a license to use a firearm" Louis said.

The man then took their bags and put them in the truck. and started checking Louis' jacket and pants.

"Good" The man took Edward's gun then ordered the others to bring Louis and Edward to the truck.
