The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER SIXTEEN: The Purchase Record
" Finally,we got our hand on the business record," Ven said they were in for another meeting for the week." You mean she actually gave it to you?" Mark asked,he thought she was going to change her mind considering the way she handles business." Yes, I went to her office to collect it and she released it to me," James said.He remembered what happened when he got to the office. She has not yet recovered from the shock and only came to the office because he needed the record.She was still grieving badly,that he blamed himself for being the cause. If he had studied the killer's style very well,he might have been able to stop him.He was also helpless and had limited time left to figure it out. The higher-ups were threatening to transfer the case to another team and he was trying to prevent that. They had been on the case for sometime now and he hopes that they will be the one to end it.He is really curious about the killer's identity,the person who was capable of terminating the live
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Caught
" I rushed here immediately I saw your message," he asked Dr.Mike." I thought you were not going to come today," he said, before directing him to take his seat." Why are you talking like this, knowing what is happening?" James asked him." I was just joking. It's about the people that were killed that day. They all had the exact peculiar mark. They were stabbed at the exact spot and the length of the blade is also similar," Dr.Mike explained and when it seems what he was trying to explain was not clear to James,he had to show him." Follow me" he said, and James stood up to follow,as long as where he's going has to do with the matter on ground.On getting to the room,he met their corpses laid down there while Dr.Mike urge him to move closer." This is what I'm talking about," Dr. Mike said pointing to the mark." This is really strange,how could there be a unique mark at the same spot on their bodies when it's not that it was a single wipe that killed them all at once," James said s
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Interrogation
" You will be a fool if you actually thought that if you keep your mouth shut,there will be no problem," James said to the strange man. Ever since they brought him to the station,he has not said anything even his name." Sir, I don't think he's ready to say anything, it's a deliberate action," Ken said." He will talk, I'm sure of that," James said with assurance, he's going to try everything possible to make sure he talks." Guys let us leave, we're coming back for you," James said, and they all left the investigation room they were using to investigate him."Sir,what are we going to do. I sense a kind of strategy here," Leon said. " What do you think he's trying to do?" Alex asked confused." You know here in Raws, a suspect will be released if after seventy two hours,the police fail to prove whether he's guilty or not," Ken explained." It seems he knows there's no concrete evidence that point to him as the person who killed the police commissioner," Ken added." This is really se
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER NINETEEN: The Confession
" Who threatened you?" James asked him,he had calmed down." I don't even know his name. But I saw his face just once when he came to threaten me. I committed a crime years ago for which I was to be imprisoned. He devised a way and escaped from the prison. This person was familiar with that news and used it to threaten me if I fail to comply with it," Wright explained." What are the things he told you to do for him," Angelina asked him." He told me to keep quiet and make sure you find out nothing for the three days I will be spending here. That I will be free after the three days and will return to my regular like if I do as instructed," he explained." Did he say anything regarding what he want to achieve?" James asked." No,he only said that he want the police to forget about the strange man suspect because it seems they're really interested in it," Wright said,he was ready to spill everything if that guarantee his freedom." This is really serious. If you see him, will you be abl
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY: Puzzle
" What!!! You mean Angelina was shot?" The police chief asked trying to be sure he heard it right." Yes Sir,by the killer when we went for that operation. Wright and Angelina were shot before he disappeared," James said sadly to the police chief,who was shocked beyond doubt for he didn't expect such." What happened to her?" He asked out of concern." She's in the hospital as we speak recovering gradually. We took her to the hospital immediately it happened and luckily for us,the doctor said she's out of danger," he explained to the police chief.Angelina is like a daughter to the police chief. Her father is a very good friend of him and she was put under his watchful eyes when she decided to become a police officer, the information James is aware of. " The other person didn't survive it, did he!" He asked." He didn't but I feel like the killer didn't have the intention of killing Angelina, it was more like a warning that we should be careful," James said." This is very serious, b
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: Attack on James
" Stop that!!" James commanded as soon as he entered the house.Immediately he heard someone screaming, he ran to the direction where he heard the screaming and barged inside only to meet someone already tied to a chair and the killer they've been trying to apprehend.He was planning to kill the man when he entered and had to stop immediately because he was confused. He didn't expect to see anybody with the kind of plan he had already prepared.A normal human being after what happened yesterday night will not even think of coming back to this town unless the person too is not normal like him." Who are you to tell me to stop?"the killer asked in anger." I'm a police officer sent to apprehend you for breaching the law of Raws and wasting the lives of innocent people," James answered." You must be joking if you really think you will be able to stop me. If you really value your life and you're really sensible,it will be better for you to leave and allow me do my job," the killer said,
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: Another Chance
" Where am I?" James asked as soon as he woke up from sleep." In the hospital of course," someone said, but it felt like a familiar voice.He turned his neck to the direction of the voice, and saw that it is Angelina. How could he be in her ward?" You passed out and you were brought here after you were rescued. They concluded we be in the same ward for security purpose," Angelina said as if reading his thoughts." What happened after I passed out?" James asked,he remember not giving the details of where he was going,he was a bit confused about the history behind it." I don't know the details sir, maybe when they get here," Angelina said, and just as if they were waiting for that,they entered minutes later." You're awake!!" Ken exclaimed happily. They all bounced on him with joy and that was when he knew the height of the love they have for him." We really thought you were going to die," Alex said almost crying. Alex had always been like his personal attendant right from the time
The Serial Killer: A headache for the police CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: Getting Clearer
" How did it go with the assignment?" James asked them,they were in the meeting room to strategize on ways of solving the case as usual.This was few weeks after James had recovered fully, and was strong enough to resume back to office. If not for the police chief,he was bent on resuming the day he woke up." We found out somethings but it does not look related to the case we're handling," Ken said." When I hear it, I believe we should be able to come to a conclusion regarding the matter," James said." Those people we investigated, I mean those people their names appeared severally in the purchase record. One of them known as perry's identity is unknown and there's no trace of him. One of them is an attendant to Kingsley the heir to Frices Empire. We don't know why he's getting the poison but we're still on it." That is highly suspicious, investigate it more even though it might not be related to the case!!" James instructed." Noted Sir," Ken said." But we also investigated those

CHAPTER FORTY: Person in hood
Fortunately for them, they were able to get the dashcam. They didn't make an attempt to watch it there,they decided to take it to the station and handle it there, since it was already late.Before leaving,Alex made sure he satisfied his curiosity soul by asking the question that was troubling him. The reply the man gave him even increased the mystery surrounding the case.He learnt that the man Richard who happened to be the former prosecutor General of Raws, was always acting suspicious. Whenever he feels like acting as powerful as he was,he uses his privilege to send any security personnel away and abuse them verbally whenever he feels like.The security men avoided him like a plague, including the other residents, even though it shocked them when he was killed. However they hold the notion that he could have stepped on someone's toes. The person may have killed him as a result of that considering his character and arrogance......They left after listening to that,he didn't even ch

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE: Dashcam
Precilia and Alex went to Fenzi on James'order to check the camera footage around the area and confirm whether any strange person was captured. They got there but had to observe where the CCTV were located.They tried inspecting the whole area, and luckily the CCTV cameras were found all around.They proceeded to the security office since that would be the best place to watch the camera footage recorded by the CCTV cameras. They were given the permission to enter, and after identifying themselves and elaborating on the reason for coming,they were given the permission to watch it on the screen.Alex and Precilia sat down and started watching it, looking at it from the first CCTV footage and trying hard to identify any strange person who entered the area whether in a car or even a scooter.Checking the videos,they didn't find anything suspicious from them,it was more like a wasted effort trying hard to look for a stain they were sure the killer would have taken care of."

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: Nightmare
The moment exude that of darkness,making a scary impact on the surrounding. Everywhere wore the silent look while scary and frightening sounds dominated the air. Then suddenly a man in black clothes with a matching black boots appeared.With the darkness the area displayed,that helped as it hid his face,he continued walking with a mischievous smile and after reaching where he was heading to,he opened the door......He opened the door and seeing what he loves seeing, entered the room and did as usual......." No........." He screamed jumping from the bed sweating profusely, with his eyes emitting fear and anxiety." What happened?" The other voice asked entering the room,the scream made him jerk up from the bed instantly, knowing where it is coming from.He could not speak but was shaking badly,he opened his drawer and immediately brought out a drug which he consumed with water. It was then he started calming his nerves,but he was still shaking a little." You had a nightmare again" Th

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: Determined
" Sir, I have missed you," Alex said, hugging James who gave a quick smile, before taking on a straight face back." Don't break my neck," James said jokingly, it's no longer news that Alex is his right hand man because of the circumstances.James took some days off after that incidence, nobody was able to reach him since he deliberately switched off his phone.Alex couldn't even relay the police chief's order, and didn't want to go to his house to give him the opportunity to rest very well. He had not been sleeping just because of the case, while he encouraged them to go home and rest,that was not the case for James.The zest in his eyes was enough for them to know he was fully back,what they've all been waiting for.After he settled down in his office,Alex then went to meet him to pass the order of the police chief who had been requesting his presence in his office for days now.After giving him the details and how the police chief lost the opportunity of being promoted, James prepa

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: Missed opportunity
"Sir, we can't stay here all day," Alex said to James who sat down glued to the floor." It has happened,we really tried our best," Mark said.James didn't even bulge from where he sat down. He never expected that this was going to happen, when he thought he had everything planned out.The corpse is in front of him waiting for the forensic to come and do their job. It was embarrassing to leave the town, knowing they failed to protect the town even as the killer hinted them beforehand.He made mockery of the entire police by sending it to TV stations, and now that he successfully executed that,they were in trouble.The whole Raws watched that, definitely what he wanted and unfortunately they missed the opportunity to apprehend him.The previous night was still unbelievable........The loud cry made them all rushed inside leaving two of them to watch the killer, forgetting the gravity of that, but the loud cry was persistent.They went inside and got the shock they were not expecting, c

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE: Almost
The killer entered the house in haste, considering what he encountered outside. He saw the whole family all together in a room, holding their hands together in fear. He heard their silent sobbing, and easily tracked where it was coming from. They knew something was not right when they heard the gunshot in their vicinity, and it dawned on them,that their house was where the killer was planning on visiting.The killer moved closer and dragged the man of the house Richard away from them. He's the person needed and not the whole family as the family thought." Please don't hurt our father," one of the children pleaded with tears." Your father also did more than that in the past," he said, and brought out his knife. There was limited time left to escape, but he was determined to do as prepared and also ridicule the police who he believes will be in trouble,if they fail to protect the person he is trying to kill, considering the person's status in Raws.He raised his knife up to pass his

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR: Trap
" Ohhh... I should have thought of that earlier,he won't have planned to shoot himself in the leg," James commented." What are we going to do Sir?" Ken asked." If we can't track his address,then we should set a trap for him," James said." What kind of trap are we going to set that he will fall into?" Ken asked,they all think highly of the killer." Who is familiar with Vensi amongst you?" James asked." I'm familiar with the town Vensi," Angelina replied." Good,how many route is there to Vensi?" He asked her." Two routes can take us to Vensi Sir," she replied." We are all aware that the killer is planning another strike this night,that means all the time we have now is valuable."" Alex send a message to all the TV stations,that they all should promote the statement that " The police is not ready to believe such lie and won't fall for it," !!" James instructed." Do you mean the killer is not going to strike but a ploy?" Alex asked." Don't ask me questions, just do as I say!!"

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: Tension
" To what do I owe this visit?" Anthony asked smiling sheepishly.James didn't give a response, but sat down as if he didn't hear the taunting remark. He decided to interrogate him for the last time before he is transferred and charged to court.This he made sure the police chief was not aware, since he might want to witness the interrogation.That day,if not that he was able to say a convincing statement, probably he would have been caught by the police chief who insisted that the face cap on his head was very familiar.It was a mistake on his side, as he didn't remove the face cap after using it to play a trick on the police chief at the restaurant. It was funny though how the police chief forgot easily where he saw the cap, but that was an advantage he utilised judiciously.He told the police chief that there are numerous face cap with the exact design and the one on his head was one of them. That way,he avoided the questioning eyes of the police chief who then dismissed him." I

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO: Confused
They entered the room chosen, and sat down with the bottle of wine placed on the table. That was useless to them since they didn't come there for that." Sir, how are we going to confirm whether the police chief is in the next room and plant the device there,when they will be leaving soon?" Alex asked,that sounded impossible and risky to achieve." We will just have to try out luck. The room the woman made use of" they" for will be the room we need to confirm if the police chief is in before planning the next thing. Do you have a face cap with you?" James asked, while Alex nodded oblivious of the usage." I will use this to protect my face from being exposed, after which I will barge into the room staggering like a drunkard. After confirming, I will quickly leave before they stand to check but after which I will have pinned the recording device," James analysed, with Alex stunned beyond words.Just as planned, James put on the face cap and proceeded towards the police chief's room. He
