2022-03-20 18:20:18"Um, yeah, I was going to say the same thing, Dax," Sam replied.
Dakota get closer to the white board; every image in front of him might hold crucial clues.
"The perpetrator wants to show how they could pull off such a big performance and how they managed to execute it perfectly. They’re even willing to do dangerous things to demonstrate just how high their confidence level is. The problem is, in this world, there’s no such thing as a perfect crime."
"I know! It's like one of your famous lecture titles, right? I've watched the video over and over; it's so cool, Prof," Rina exclaimed.
Sam turned to Rina, furrowing his brow, wondering what the young woman meant.
"What video?"
"That one, Boss! The title is 'There’s No Such Thing as a Perfect Crime.' So in Professor Dakota's lecture, he gives examples of some murder cases that are so tough they’re almost unsolvable. But even if the perpetrator isn’t found, the crime is still imperfect because of the evidence left behind, just waiting for the real culprit to be caught. And over time, the crime becomes even less perfect. There are also cases where the perpetrator deliberately commits a crime to debunk that theory." said the girl excitingly.
Sam looked at Dakota for a long time; the young man was a genius, as if he lived in his own world, where he alone could see the oddities in every complex case. He had known him for a long time and didn’t even know what he had in mind with all the habits that keep changing. Or maybe he just aren’t observe him enough.
He still remembers when he talk to Dakota on how they could start helping each other solve that gruesome murder case together, especially since the package Dakota received still had an unknown sender. From that moment on, he and Dax would always be together, and Sam said he would help as long as Dakota helped him too. Sam sighed heavily; actually, Dakota had already said he could handle his problems on his own without Sam's help, but because Sam pleaded with those cute, puppy eyes, he couldn't resist.
"Pleaseee"
After a long pause, Dakota finally agreed, and remembering that made Sam chuckle to himself.
"Hehe"

"There was no such a perfect crime, it's just hidden beneath until someday it reveals, and if people could read minds, every killer would show by themself only just by seeing the color of their mind, it's so dark that almost no lights in it, and he builds a very high wall around his mind and didn't let anyone enter to reveal his darkness"
~~~~Dakota Sorrenson ~~~
Sam walked in front, with Dakota following behind as they made their way to the parking area. A luxurious white vehicle pulled up right next to Dakota, and the driver’s window rolled down.
"Baby!" a high-pitched voice called out, causing Dakota and Sam to stop in their place.
Sam put his hands on his hips when he realized who was already there.
"Hemh, when I thought this day won't go any crazier"
The young, stylish girl stepped out; it was Elena, who claimed to be Dakota's girlfriend on the side.
"Dakota darling, I've been trying to call you all day, don't tell me you forgot we have an appointment for dinner tonight, and oh yeah, yesterday grams asked me about you, you didn't call her, didn't you?"
Dakota ignored her and continued walking with Sam.
"Dakota!" The girl quickly chased after him. Sam kept blocking her way.
"Hey young lady, please come back later, we're so busy here, next time at least you should have made an appointment before stopping by, okay?"
No matter what, Elena tried to reach Dakota, who was getting further away, but Sam kept blocking her.
"Ach this man, Baby, Dakota! You owe me dinner, wait for me babe, Dakota Baby!"

In autopsy room.
Elena was standing as far as she could in the corner since she followed Dakota and Sam who walked straight to the room.
It's so quiet. Even the big round clock on the wall makes its sound which fills the room.
Emma, who was standing next to the table, paused to look at the woman who was so scared she couldn’t move from her place at all. Of course, how could a young woman, the daughter of a conglomerate, who was infatuated with Dakota and willing to follow him anywhere, witnessing the dismembered body of a mutilation victim laid out on the table.
“Hey Boss,” Emma whispered pointing at Elena.
"She looks like will faint in no time now" said Emma.
Sam waved his hand dismissively.
“Just leave her be, who told her to tag along?”
Dakota glanced at Elena. After a while, he approached her and asked her to leave with him to the door.
“Come on, El.”
Without any delay, the girl ran to follow Dakota out.
"Dakota wait for me!"
*-*-*-*-*
Soft music played in one of the five-star restaurants in the city, not far from the police station, creating a stark contrast between the bustling atmosphere outside and the calm inside. Dakota had just finished his dinner and raised his drink when he saw Elena back from the powder room.
The young man couldn't let that young girl go any further by reporting anything she saw to his Father, something he had so much prevented from happening, so he fulfilled their dinner appointment that time. Elena stared at Dakota for a long moment before reaching out with her delicate fingers to fix the messy strands of hair falling over his forehead.
“Oh my handsome Dakota, looking all disheveled. You must be tired, huh? After this, I’ll take you home, okay? You need to rest a lot.”
Dakota gently swatted Elena’s hand away.
"I still have a lot of work to do El, and we're finished here, thanks for the dinner, I have to go back to the office now"
Dakota prepared to stand up after wiping his lips with a tissue, and before Elena could stop him, he stood and quickly walked past her.
“Oh Dakota,” the young girl was getting ready to chase after him when, accidentally, her bag fell from under her chair, spilling several items onto the floor.
"Oh Dakota please wait" she put all of her items into her bag and rushed after Dakota who had already passed the door.There's a large tattoo adorned Elena's slender right ankle.
“Dakota! Baby!”

Important Clue
Sam clenched his fist in frustration."A man like this, deserves to die in a miserable way, absolutely disgusting"****Night came. Bayward City fell into deep darkness, despite the bright buildings that seemed to never sleep. Sam opened the door wide, seeing Dakota sitting leaning on the bed, still with the reading lamp on. He looked serious reading the book that he just bought downtown this afternoon. Dakota is not someone who craves stories, or whatever it is called, he just enjoy spending time reading. Reading any book, makes him understand the human way of thinking, even the author's way of thinking.Sam approached, although he actually already knew Dakota quite well, very close in fact, it made him think, that Dakota was trying to be more relaxed and enjoy his time now, not wanting to be so burdened after many things happened around them.Sam approached, sitting on the edge of Dakota's bed."Hey, the prime minister is holding an inauguration event for a new building downtown, I
Wives
Not long after. Andy Gedd was seated inside the interrogation room with Rina and Luk.Rina looked at the young man who appeared nervous but was trying to remain calm since he'd come in minutes ago. Then she pushed a printed sheet of paper she had prepared for this interrogation. Andy Gedd did not budge, only glancing at what was presented without intending to take it.“This is the pharmacy where you work, and this is a medicine receipt under your mother's name, but would you like to explain it? Why is your mother's name on the medicine collection sheet when there is no trace of Mrs. Gedd being there to collect it? " Herself,” Rina asked.Andy Gedd swallowed hard, looking at Rina with wide eyes.“That is normal, right? The person is not there, but the medicine collection can be represented by anyone,” Andy said.Rina looked at the youth, who clearly seemed to be hiding something.“You know clearly your mother was not there, due to one reason or another, not just once, the same medicine
Hit And Run
Meanwhile, the person in the photo was in another room, interrogation room 1 at the end of the hallway, with Aris and Beni inside interrogating them.Unlike Karl Messi, he was alone, without any legal counsel. His face looked weary for a young man his age, appearing much older and thinner. Beni was seen taking notes while Aris focused on questioning the youth who identified himself as Ed Banner, 25. He looked nervous while wringing his fingers under the table, cold sweat also trickling down his temples, even though the air in the room was quite cold compared to the hot air outside.“I-I, didn’t mean to” said the youth, stuttering.Aris looked at the face of the youth in front of him.“Tell us, what was happened, in detail, from the moment you got into the car, drove, to the hit-and-run. Tell us everything, we want to understand what actually happened” said Aris.The youth raised his head, looking at Aris and Beni alternately, he seemed more stuttered as if thinking about what he shoul
Affair
“You know that is not true, right? Your husband and this woman were having an affair right in front of your eyes” Dakota asked. Suddenly asking like that made Sam widen his eyes at Dakota. He patted Dakota's hand under the table on his lap, but Dakota did not budge. Clearly, the woman was much more shocked than Sam. She looked at Dakota with a pair of wide eyes.“T-that” the woman stammered.Sam took a breath, slowly so as not to be noticed by their guest in front of them. He was a bit annoyed because Dakota did not discuss it with him first before talking like that. He squeeze Dakota's hand under the table out of frustration, but Dakota pulled it away and crossed both arms in front of his chest.Sam showed other photos to the woman, several sheets of photos showing her husband and the victim posing in front of the camera at tourist spots.“Your husband and that woman's photos, you must have seen them often, all of these are on Elice's social media. From the victim's social media, we

Emma seemed to have finished the initial examination of the bodies in that SUV, pulling off her dirty gloves and throwing them into a trash can carried everywhere by her subordinates."Get them out carefully, ask Liam first if he is finished taking documentation before you move them," Emma said to a young girl who had been working on the forensic team with Emma for a long time.The young girl nodded."Ready, Doc""How many days have they been there?" Sam asked.Emma approached Sam."According to the parking attendant, the car has been parked since yesterday, at 1:00 PM. After that, even though the mall was closed, it did not move. The attendant thought maybe someone intentionally left it here, until this morning, he performed a routine check as usual, and saw this vehicl
What Is In The Air
Toward noon. John Mazen arrived at the police station as a witness. The man sat in the chair he had occupied several times during his visits to comply with police summonses. Sam sat in front of him, with Dakota by their side.The man took a long breath; he did not look surprised by what Sam conveyed regarding the dried body in the autopsy room, and about who the Amy Mazen he had known for these past few years actually was.“So, you have known, all this time, that she was not the real Amy Mazen?” Sam asked.John Mazen pulled his lips, looking at Sam and Dakota alternately. The man leaned his back against the chair, letting out a long sigh.“Amy and I haven't been in touch for a long time. She always avoided me for health reasons, and I understood her. Ever since Matt's illness got worse, she cared less and less about our relationship. You also know I no longer live in the same house as her; the Mazen residences are so many. Sometimes Amy, or, uh, I mean, Rosana, would stay in another h
