"Come in, detective." Mr. Lockwood welcomed Detective Anna with excitement and happiness. His smile widened. Detective Anna was his hope, so she was precious to him.

Detective Anna nodded and smiled politely. Her feet began to step inside Mr. Lockwood's house after the door was opened wide.

"I'm glad you're here again. Let's sit down, I happen to have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Detective Anna said, "What is it, Mr. Lockwood?" She looked at the man in front of her with interest. She had taken off the jacket she was wearing and placed it on the head of the couch.

"I took your advice, detective." Mr. Lockwood's face lit up. A smile refused to disappear from his lips.

Detective Anna had certainly guessed what Mr. Lockwood meant. She had prepared the words on the tip of her tongue, but just as she was about to reveal them, Mr. Lockwood suddenly spoke first.

"I brought in a psychiatrist for my wife, just like you told me."

"Oh, that's good news. How is your wife now?"

"You're not going anywhere, you'll stay here, you'll be fine.""I'm not, I'm trying to be okay, but it's not working. I'm a mess." Hilda replied softly. She even kept her head down, not glancing at Zana at all.For a second, Zana did not respond at all. She was silent for a moment, thinking about what had really happened to her friend.

    "Did you come to Hilda's funeral?" Detective Anna asked.Alice smiled wryly. "What did I come for? It was a waste of my time. She's not my friend anymore. I'd rather sleep at home."Although Alice admitted that she wasn't Hilda's friend anymore, Detective Anna thought it was unethical of Alice to say so. It didn't feel right and sounded too frivolous."You may have admitted that Hilda isn't your friend anymore, but at least you can watch your mouth. If you couldn't come when Hilda was buried in peace, you should have shown your condolences.""I don't care." Alice waved her hand. "I do what I want. You can't control me. I'm getting tired, you'd better ask quickly, I'm leaving.""This won't be over for long. There's just one more thing I need to ask you."Alice returned Detective Anna's gaze with an already bursting curiosity.

    "According to the information I got, you were once friends with Zana and Hilda. I'm sure that's true, so I don't think I need to ask you for confirmation.""That's not quite right, actually." Alice smiled mockingly. She was now leaning against the back of the chair, hands folded in front of her chest, her eyes snapping at Detective Anna. "They are not my friends, but my trash. Compared to friends, they're much better suited to be called my trash." A chuckle was all he did when he finished saying that.Detective Anna took Alice's words in stride. "What makes you not be with them anymore?""They're arrogant bastards. They like to throw tantrums. That's the most appropriate answer for me to tell you." A low sigh escaped Alice's lips. "Did you talk to Zana?""Yeah, I talked to her.""Don't completely believe what that bitch told you. I'm so sure, in fact, that I'd be willing to bet she's badmouthing me when she talks to you, that's true, right?""I see you hate Zana and Hilda. What caused

    The target is in sight.Alice, who was originally leaning her body against the wall, stood up straight as soon as Angie was seen walking while clutching many books. She needed to talk to Angie, she needed to discuss one thing with Angie, one thing that she thought was important to discuss immediately.Carrying a lopsided smile, Alice strode faster. She was reluctant to lose Angie. Before class started, it would be nice to finish something that needed to be done."Hey you!" Alice exclaimed loudly when she was behind Angie by a few footsteps.Angie felt that the exclamation was drifting toward her, especially with the fact that she recognized the voice. As a result, she turned around. It was not a big surprise to see Alice, who was now in front of her. She wasn't surprised, she wasn't scared, and she wasn't afraid. It was as if she could predict this was coming.With her chin raised, Angie said, "Excuse me? Are you talking to me?""You're standing in front of me right now, aren't you? O

    "Why?" Detective Anna asked her boyfriend, who was sitting on a chair. She stood up while biting her fingernails. She looked at him uneasily, fearing that something big and scary would burst out of him."I don't know, Anna." Indra shook her head."You can't suddenly come to my place, want to ask for our relationship to stop here, and then you can't explain your reasons when I ask that. That's very strange, you know that."Indra looked down, the way he was sitting was already starting to make him feel uncomfortable. He did not even dare to look up to look directly into his girlfriend's eyes. He could not, because he was too afraid. He was afraid of disappointing her even more, even though he had already done so."I just want an explanation from you. Why? What's the reason? Did I do something wrong? Did I ask too much and demand too much? What? Please explain it to me so I can understand." Detective Anna pleaded, saying it in a hoarse voice. Her tears were almost pushing their way out o

    "Do you think Hilda has any enemies?"Detective Anna's question made Zana immediately think of a name. Without thinking, she immediately revealed it. "There is."It was an unexpected answer for Detective Anna. She listened to Zana even more seriously. "Who?""Alice. They don't get along. Actually, neither do I. We used to be friends if you didn't know that."This was a new fact for Detective Anna. And very interesting. Then, she took out the three polaroids she had taken from Hilda's room during her visit to the girl's house. She placed the three polaroids on the table, arranging them one by one. She showed them to Zana."Here are three of you," Detective Anna said as she pushed the three polaroids closer to Zana. Zana looked at them and picked one up. "Yes, this is us. Where did you get that?""Hilda's room. I was there a while ago to meet her parents. I was allowed into her room and found those pictures."Zana looked sadly at the photo in her hand. Three smiling girls were there. T

For a moment, she was free from the headache-inducing lessons, plus she was currently unable to focus. It would be better if she did get out of the classroom. In fact, hearing that Detective Anna wanted to talk to her made her feel excited.Zana immediately knew what Detective Anna wanted to discuss with her. It was too obvious. Hilda was a topic that was bound to come up. There were many things she wanted to tell Detective Anna about Hilda.Now, Detective Anna sat across from Zana in the hall. A quiet place was the main thing that was needed. Zana asked for it because this way she felt much better, another reason was because she didn't want anyone to hear what she was going to say to the detective."I really need to talk to you," Zana said seriously. "Even if you didn't intend to see me, I would have come to you, detective.""Yeah, I'm sure yo

    Angie was certain that she was not mistaken this time. From some distance away, she saw Detective Anna, who was walking towards who knows where.Thomas, who noticed Angie suddenly stop walking, was immediately puzzled by what the girl was doing. They had just come out of the library. The class change would start any minute now."Why did you stop?" Thomas asked. Half confused, half curious. He looked at Angie with a furrowed brow."Look over there." Angie immediately pointed at Detective Anna.Thomas, of course, immediately followed what Angie was pointing at. He saw what she saw. And now Thomas knew what Angie was talking about."Detective Anna?" Thomas muttered.Angie nodded. Confirming Thomas' words. It was indeed Detective Anna that Angie saw.Thomas immediately thought of something. "I can guess why she's here. She must be investigating Hilda's murder case. There's no mistaking it." Thomas was sure of his train of thought. He continued to stare at where Detective Anna was moving.
