"Actually, I wanted to ask you about...""The incident that happened two days ago?" Mr. Toni immediately broke into Detective Anna's speech, which, of course, had not yet been completed.Somewhat shocked for a moment, Detective Anna was stunned for a few seconds, but in the end she nodded. That was indeed what she was going to ask him.Mr. Toni smiled, looking even more smiling. "I guessed it when I saw you arrive. If you want to ask me about it, I think I'm the right person, I know quite a lot because, you know, I live here. So yes, I should be able to answer your questions."Well, that was the answer Detective Anna wanted. In a friendly voice, she then said, "It would help me a lot if you would explain everything you know, Mr. Toni. It means a lot to me.""Alright, you want me to start now?""Yes, if you don't mind," Detective Anna said quickly, then two seconds later she remembered that Mr. Toni had been doing his job earlier, so she immediately mentioned it. "But you were wiping t
"I'd like you to take me to the place where Hilda was murdered, would you mind?" Detective Anna asked as she put her books and pens into her bag. She looked at Mr. Toni, waiting for his answer."Sure, let's follow my lead." Mr. Toni, like before, answered too eagerly. He even stood up immediately and waved his hand, asking Detective Anna to follow him immediately.Detective Anna had already made the old man proud by solving Mr. Damar's murder. And it seemed like whatever her request would be, he would try to fulfill it.It took at least three minutes to reach the place in question.Detective Anna looked back at Mr. Toni, smiled briefly at him, then called out softly, "Thank you for your help and explanation, Mr. Toni. I was very helpful.""You're welcome. What else would you like me to do for you, detective?"Nothing, that's it.""Well, okay.""I'll ask you if I forgot anything. Now, can I be left alone here? I want to continue my investigation."Detective Anna sent Mr. Toni away with
Thomas clicked his tongue as he put down his fork. "Mom, come on!" He noticed his mom sitting in front of him. Their positions were separated by a table that stretched out."You know I'm serious, Thomas.""But your decision is ridiculous. You can't possibly do that to me!" Thomas shouted. He didn't really notice that his tone of voice rose several octaves. He looked at his mom with eyes that were already fiery.Thomas growled in annoyance. His hands were now clenched into fists. He had lost his appetite. Anger was increasingly gathering to form an army at the top of his head because of a damn decision his mom made for him, without saying, without any discussion first. This is what made him angry and unhappy with what she did to him.Without lessening his annoyance at his mom, Thomas exclaimed again. "You didn't discuss it with me first! You made a decision without involving me, even though this is all about me. This is not fair, mom. You can't do this to me.""I'm doing this for your
Thomas's steps quickened when he saw Angie, who happened to be outside her house. She looked like she was about to take out the trash. This was his goal outside the house after fighting with his mom, he wanted to meet the girl as well as cool his head from the anger that was bubbling up because of what his mom did to him. "Angie!" Thomas finally called out to the girl.Angie had just thrown a large black plastic bag when Thomas's voice blocked her ears. The girl immediately looked at him, she was a little dumbfounded because he appeared unexpectedly again. She wasn't used to this, so she couldn't mask her surprise.Thomas now preferred to appear before Angie quietly, without any prior notice.Angie's gaze did not move from Thomas, who was currently wearing a black jacket and jeans. He approached her with both hands sunk into his jacket pockets.Thomas's lips painted a smile. He now stopped in front of Angie. "Hello." He greeted her with a waving hand."Hi." Angie replied simply, and
As far as Detective Anna knew, Hilda was a girl from a wealthy family. She was beautiful and 17 years old. She died at the beginning of her senior year. Poor girl. She would forever be frozen at that age. She would never wake up again. Detective Anna deeply sympathized with this murder victim. She was young and had a long life ahead of her, but a tragedy froze her in place. She died before she could grow into a mature woman. It was very painful. Detective Anna was even more determined to solve and bring this case to a conclusion.This time, Detective Anna was about to go meet Hilda's family. She had researched and found the address. In her car, she went there with a lot of curiosity. She needs to meet with her parents, and this is not an easy thing considering that they are still in a state of grief over the disappearance of their beloved daughter.In a short time, Detective Anna finally arrived at her destination. She had made sure that she didn't get the wrong address. After getting
"Hilda is a good girl, detective. Yeah, I'm sure any parent would say this about their child to anyone else, but it's the truth, she's good, and I love her very much."Detective Anna listened as she prepared her book and pen. She watched Mr. Lockwood, clearly listening to what he was saying. She nodded, signaling that he could continue with his story."It's not just me, of course, my wife loves Hilda too. She's very beautiful, detective, you've seen her picture, right?""Yeah, I've seen her. I admit she is indeed a beautiful girl.""See? I even realized that her beauty became even more obvious as she grew into a teenager."Detective Anna nodded."I've both noticed Hilda's development, which I think is rapid. My wife and I even agree that she must have a lot of crushes at school. Do you agree, detective?""I can imagine that.""So, you agree?" Mr. Lockwood pressed because, in his opinion, Detective Anna was not giving a definitive answer.Detective Anna smiled warmly, then replied, "Ye
"I don't think my wife should be yelling and getting angry at Hilda. You know, it's too much. And we ended up fighting, Hilda wouldn't even talk to her mom. I tried to talk to my wife nicely after that because I realized that if I kept playing with my anger, the problem would just flare up even more. In the end, my wife realized that I was right, and she regretted scolding Hilda.""It's good to hear that she finally realized.""Yes," Mr. Lockwood replied. "After that, I told her to apologize to Hilda. She agreed and followed my wishes. But the problem didn't stop there, my wife had already scared Hilda, and she chose to stop talking to her mom.""Until when will Hilda not talk to her mom?" Detective Anna asked."Fortunately, it wasn't long, just a few days, the problem was solved, that's how I remember it. I told my wife to try to keep approaching Hilda. Several times, she said she was sorry for being angry with her. She realized that she had gone too far. Hilda melted in the end. But
Mr. Lockwood began to explain again. "We of course demanded answers as to what had happened, and everything seemed to blur together after that. Hilda was murdered by someone. Her neck was cut, and she was hanged. Blood everywhere. We couldn't process it all at once. My head was spinning. Not to mention, there were tons of people. The students were swarming. I was so weak, while my wife was already falling apart. We couldn't process the terrible things that were crammed into our heads at once. The point is, we didn't expect Hilda to die, detective."Mr. Lockwood rubbed his face roughly. "We don't know what really happened. And we still don't. What did our daughter do? Why was she killed? Who did this to her? Hilda didn't seem to have any problems, and I'm confused as to how something like this could happen to her, detective. My wife and I are still confused. We can't let go, we're still trying, but you know it's not easy to do. Whatever the reason, my daughter doesn't deserve this. She
