CRIME BOOK 101 The Cargo
Sam approached.“Do you have a list of cargos? Owner and type, size," asked Sam. Another young man sitting in another section nodded."Yes we do"While Dakota observed the video footage in the passenger luggage area before being loaded onto the plane, Sam reviewed the luggage and passenger information. According to the officer, some bags had already been loaded onto the plane, while others were temporarily held back. Dakota paid close attention as the young officer seemed unsure of which section to focus on, simply playing a video showing the entire room and its contents.Dakota didn't think he found anything he thought was there. He couldn't possibly miss it.“What's in this, a three by two wooden box. That's huge," asked Sam, looking at the cargo data. His words made the young officer in front of him turn his head. He typed on his keyboard searching. Dakota came over and took the paper from Sam's hand. The officer hadn't even answered when Dakota pulled Sam's hand out."That's it, l
CRIME BOOK 101 One of The Kids
“Budd Daniels, age forty-seven. Cold-blooded killer. You kill fifteen victims within two years. Dismember their corpse, there are indications that you even chopped them while they were still alive. Then put them in a black plastic bag and throw them in the trash. You don't even feel the need to make an effort to cover your tracks, fingerprints, DNA, or even your blood left at the scene. What makes you want to be arrested so badly? Have you felt lonely?” Sam asked, looking deeply into the man's eyes.The man flattened his lips, and the smile that had been forming for a long time was slowly gone.“What do you mean I'm lonely? Do I look lonely? I enjoy whatever I do. You guys police have worked hard day and night looking for evidence of murder in ridiculous ways. All that little bit of evidence that means nothing. I save your time, so you don't have to do anything unimportant and just focus on me. That's my good intention."Sam looked at the man. He closed the file in front of him, smili
CRIME BOOK 101 Another Vision
Dakota placed his coffee mug on the table, leaning back. Sam gazed at him, anticipating his words. Dakota tends to be reserved about his matters, lost in thought or reminiscing. The burly man felt a deep connection to Dakota's mother, almost as if he had known her for ages. He mentioned that Belinda had brought Dakota's favorite chocolate cake for the kids. However, upon reflection, Belinda had cared for Jon and the other children twenty-five years ago, a time when Dakota had not yet been born, and Kim was merely three years old. Therefore, the cake had existed long before Dakota's time, it was not specifically his. "Hey, Sam, what's on your mind? Why the sudden thoughts about chocolate cake now?"“Officer Keith thought he would keep all this under wraps for how long, and so did you.”Dakota's speech made Sam's eyes widen. He was shocked and almost spilled the hot coffee he had just picked up for him to drink."Duh" Slowly, Sam put his coffee cup back on the table.”Wh-what do you mea
CRIME BOOK 101 It's Over
Several men dressed in black had gathered around the car. Edi tried to start the engine to escape from there, but even though it was able to start after several attempts the left side wheel fell down onto the ditch.“Roger! Send help now!” Edi exclaimed on the telephone.Edi was still trying to get the vehicle off the side of the road. The rear wheels screeched loudly making thick smoke come out."Damn it"Edi managed to take the car out of the ditch and reversed at high speed, hitting one of the men behind him, but at the same time the door on the side of the Dakota was successfully opened from the outside. One person put his hand in and grabbed Dakota's hand, but Dakota, who was so calm, grabbed the man's hand and broke it.”Ah!”Pushed the man who was already in pain out of the car. Edi reversed the vehicle at high speed, trying to get out of the crowd. But one person next to the steering door managed to break the glass and hold the steering wheel. Edi hit the man with his elbow, p

CRIME BOOK 101 New Case Come In
Rina approached Sam's table. “Bos” Sam lifted his head and nodded at Rina, who had just returned from investigating the death of a middle-aged woman in her home. The woman was alone, with no witnesses and no evidence of violence so far. She was discovered by a neighbor who had come to collect neighborhood fees but had not seen her for days. Eventually, another resident peered through a window and found the victim seated on the sofa in the living room, with the TV on. However, the woman's face was discolored, and there were numerous flies present. "So, what do the victim's families say?" Sam asked. Rina gave him a tablet containing the statements she had gathered from the victim's family and neighbors "The victim typically attends bingo every Friday night, but she has been absent for the past two weeks. Additionally, she did not attend a religious activity at the housing complex where she volunteers, and did not provide any notice of her absence. The committee chairman went to her
CRIME BOOK 101 Opening
“Shutt” a whispering voice, amidst the darkness of the night where all that could be seen was a faint light from the chandelier in the center of the room, a small room filled with various heavy equipment such as spears and fishing hooks. "Umm" There was a muttering voice, holding back tears, a mouth tightly gagged with a dark cloth, maybe red. A pair of eyes staring in fear, a woman's eyes, still complete with eye ornaments that were faded by her tears "Hu hu .." her crying voice was muffled and sounded trembling. A tall, large figure, dressed in black resembling a raincoat approached, carrying a horrible tool which still drenched with blood dripping to the floor. "Ummm! Ummm!!” Heartbreaking screams, even with gagged mouths still sound terrible. The floor floated as if on a boat, the lights above the hanging ceiling made the light sway, and no matter how loud the screams. No one could hear them, the place was quiet on the edge of the pier, dark, without other signs of life. .
CRIME BOOK 101 Case 00
"Clang!" The sound of the metal door grinding against the frigid floor echoed through the confined space. In the dimly lit and chilly room, measuring three by three with barely any visible light, only a faint glow seeped in through the barred holes near the ceiling. This was one of the isolation cells in a highly secure prison, designed to keep the most dangerous individuals away from society. The warden pushed open the door and stepped inside. There sat the prisoner, handcuffed in a corner. Despite the maximum security, this person was kept secluded from the lights and commotion, still bound by handcuffs. A sly smirk could be sensed from the person seated within the feeble illumination as two officers pulled them, still in handcuffs, out of the room. "Let's go!" the officers commanded. The prison was meticulously designed to thwart any escape attempts, featuring multiple layers of security guards and ubiquitous CCTV surveillance. That afternoon, Dakota was joined by Thomas, a
