Chapter 21
Detective Nico Yukishito stood near the entrance, leaning against the wall. From his seat, he could easily observe all the guests. His eyes scanned the room, alert and aware that if their plan fails, these people would be in danger. 'Who knows what that Heartless Killer has up his sleeves?' Nico has already handled and studied many cases, but this is the most brutal event of serial killings in Eastwood.Well, aside from that Black Ribbon Killer a few months ago. But he thinks it's more of a "paranormal" event. Unfortunately, the young detective is not fond of such things. It's stupid and illogical.Nico took in a deep breath and studied the masked faces surrounding him. ‘It looks like an elegant zoo. Tsk! It's a shame that the admin didn't even think of a better theme, 'he thought and glanced at the watch. "What's taking her so long?" He frowned at his wrist watch. It's Elmo designed face did nothing to assure him. Chilidish, yes. But his patience is running thin. Scorpio is still not

Chapter 22
Detective Nico Yukishito spotted two figures in the middle of the chaos. For a moment, he forgot all that bullshit about "good manners" and pushed through the crowd. He shoved the gun into his pocket and prepared himself. If worse comes to worst or if he hurts his partner, then screw the plan. He had to act, no matter what was at stake."Let go of me!"Nova struggled to hold the man wearing the black rabbit mask --- the devil attorney himself. 'Bastard.'Nico calmed himself and approached the two. "I should've known you'd recognize her. Considering you two had a past." He waved at the girl, his hands ready to grab his handgun. They did not look at each other. Nico and Nova stood side by side, in front of their suspect."Did you get hurt?" Nico whispered next door, his lips barely moving.Nova just nodded in sudden response.Nico nodded. 'Good.' But he never said that. He threw a bad look at Lelouch San Andres, the possible serial killer of this town."Got anything to say, stupid attor

Chapter 23
Detective Nico Yukishito pushed through the mass of bodies blocking their way. Suddenly, the eerie glow of the grand chandelier lost its inviting aura, replacing it with a sense of dread. The guests were in a commotion, still wearing their masks. 'Stupid masks for stupid people!' Did no one even take care of them? The entire event hall is a mess and the police couldn't even calm them down. I think they were also confused by what they heard. Where is their old boss?"Detective Yukishito!"Speaking of the devil. The man with the pig mask blocked them. Inspector Ortega took off his mask and scowled at them. "Who gave you the right to disrupt this party? Our public image will be ruined because of you!"But the young detective only dead-panned, "Don't worry, Chief. Your public image won't be ruined because first of all, it's really ruined. Your task force is useless and if you think you can mask it all up by hosting this shitty party, then be my guest. ""What the --- ?!""Move aside. Unli

BANG!Nova's mouth dropped open when the gunman suddenly fell down. Now, real blood was flowing from his shoulder. Neilson complained of pain and let go of the gun he was holding. When Nova looked at the man behind her --- the man who saved them --- she was even more surprised to see Lelouch there.His own pistol glimmered under the faint moonlight."I figured you needed my help.""P-How did you find out?"Lelouch averted his eyes. "I followed you. I don't trust that partner of yours." And it walked away. At the same time, police suddenly arrived and arrested the wounded gunman.Inspector Ortega glanced at the mess and shook his head, "You're really ruining our public image."Nova glared when they didn't even bother checking up on Nico. But before he could speak, his companion preceded him."Late as always. Stupid police."Nova's eyes widened, shocked when Nico sat up and smiled at her. His dimples showed off, and that boyish smirk never left his face. The girl just stared. "B-But how

T H U R S D A Y---February 28, 2018DEATH's headquarters, Eastwood10:00 a.m."You know, Yuki, it's just like that. Your uncle is just worried about you ---" Dan ate an apple at the same time, "--- because you haven't talked to him since he came back ---" one another bite, "--- in the office! That's crazy, dude. That's your uncle. What's wrong with you and why do you seem even more grumpy than the woman with the visitor?" Dan finished before taking another bite out of the apple again. He even hugged the fruit basket.Nico distainfully eyed the basket. 'Uncle X is stupid to think I'll talk to him just because he sent this stupid fruit basket!' Nico took a deep breath, "Dan, try minding your own business, would you? Can't you see I'm in the middle of solving the Heartless Killer mystery?"The geek just laughed. "You just don't want to talk about your problem with your uncle. It's like I don't know you, Yuki."Nico became even more frustrated.After the incident last night, Nico barely

DEATH's headquarters, Eastwood1:00 p.m."Nakatakas ang gunman. Ang sabi ni Inspector Ortega, may tumulong sa kanya. Nagtext rin ba siya sa'yo?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Nova matapos basahin ang mensahe sa kanya ng hepe ng Heraldic Eastwood Local Police.Detective Nico Yukishito nodded, deep in thought. "Kasalanan nila 'yan. What kind of police department wouldn't even recognize if the escort vehicle was theirs or not? That's just plain stupidity." At humigop muli ng kape. Nasa cafeteria sila ngayon ng DEATH at katatapos lang nilang mananghalian. But of course, anytime is coffee time for Eastwood's greatest detective."Hindi ka man lang ba nag-aalala? He could be our lead to the Heartless Killer case! If he had met Cassio Salvador personally, he could tell us what he looks like. Malalaman natin kung kaninong maskara nagtatago ngayon si Cassio."Nico waved a hand dismissively, "Naisip ko na 'yan, but there are two flaws in it: first, siguradong napagplanuhan na rin ito ni Cassio. He woul

Eastwood Cemetery5:32 p.m."It's Thursday, Gwen. Another day will end soon, and another life I'll end tomorrow."The Heartless Killer knelt in front of his wife's grave. There was no emotion on his face as he talked to the wife he had killed before. He can remember that tragedy like yesterday. That night, he endured so much pain and his sanity slowly slipped away. ‘Is this really my destiny? Oh, what an evil and twisted fate I have! ' He laughed softly.Cassio has long known the husband's secret. Several times he had caught Gwen with her hook. They have also quarreled about it several times.

Detective Nico Yukishito was already fast asleep when his ringtone had awaken him. Even Goldilocks woke up to the sound and started licking his boss’s face. "Arf! Arf!""Damn, Sherlock ..." Nico frowned when the golden retriever suddenly approached him. She sighed and sat up in bed. He glared at the dog, "Do you really have to wake me up whenever someone's calling me? Then if you can crawl, you'll think you're light." But the dog just barked and turned Nico's cellphone on the nightstand. It still keeps on ringing."Arf! Arf!""Tsk. Fine." The young detective begrudgingly answered the phone call without checking the caller ID, "Chief, what's the reason you're waking me up at this time?""You were asleep? It's only seven o'clock.""I have an abnormal sleeping routine," Nico yawned and stood up. He almost tripped over a few books scattered on the floor. It was a long time before Inspector Ortega could answer. Nico has a bad feeling about this."We've found the gunman ...""And bad news i

They have been on the trip for some time. Minnesota could barely breathe in the backseat of the car. Her heart stilled hammered inside her ribcage. Fear gripped her insides. This man is a dangerous serial killer, and Minnesota knows it. From what the detectives told her, the Heartless Killer literally rips out the hearts of his victims. One wrong move, and he could be the next one to hang out.Min tightened his grip on his cellphone. Although he wanted to text the police, he was afraid that the serial killer might notice. It didn’t help that it occasionally peeked into the backseat of the car. Min is just thankful that the surroundings are dark so it doesn't face her. He quietly pocketed the phone.A chill went up her spine when the demon laughed."I'll make sure detectives can't find your body, Feralda. You've been cheating on your boyfriend, right? Bitches like you should die." Its tone is full of anger and danger. Minnesota was even more nervous to hear. It looks like he has been s

It is not clear to Detective Nico Yukishito the motive of Cassio Salvador. Gradually he was able to piece together the story, but a few details are still vague to him."--- so Cassio Salvador is our Heartless Killer, inspector." He heard Nova end in explanation. From the passenger's seat, Inspector Ortega nodded, seemingly deep in thought. "We didn't make a mistake with the suspect then. Tsk! But I hope you told me before you messed up our masquerade. Do you know how many businessmen fled the scene because of the commotion you made? Alas."Nova didn't say a word. She couldn't think of anything to answer him.Nico glared at what the boss said. 'Typical. He only thinks of his own benefits. ' He looked at his watch, 1:15 a.m. it was way past Detective Nico Yukishito's bedtime. They had just fixed the crime scene at the dumpsite. They even had to sort out some legal concerns with Neilson’s son left in the hospital for his remaining therapy sessions (with the expertise of an annoying attor
