As midnight approached in Dakota's apartment.

Dakota sat on the edge of the bed in the dark, just sitting quietly and thinking. He pulled out his phone and replayed a rather blur five-second video of a woman looks like his mom fell from a balcony, but the person behind her wasn’t clearly visible. This video might be the closest evidence he had now that his mom didn’t die by suicide; someone might had pushed her.

He opened his email and sent the video to Sam's email address. It didn’t take long for Sam to call back.

“Is this the video from yesterday, Dax? Are you sure you want to investigate it?” Sam asked.

Dakota nodded.

“I’m not sure, Sam, but this might be connected to the murder at the hotel. This video was sent during the incident, and the break-in at my apartment could also be related. Whoever they are, they’re trying to find this because they thought I might have it in my apartment.”

  • That Man Is Crazy

    Sam pursed his lips as he read Rina's report, he turned to Emma next. While Dakota sat beside Sam, looking quite serious, reading the reports of their current active cases.“Emma, ​​what did you get from the autopsies on some of the bodies?” Sam asked.Emma stood up from her seat, showing her report on the big screen. Several photos of the location, photos of cold bodies that were previously found in the crematorium in a terrible condition. Some were even almost rotting and starting to be infested with maggots.“For now, the autopsy results do not show any particular oddities, Boss, we need to know what happened to the victims to conclude whether their deaths were natural or not. Three of the five bodies that came in were autopsied, some died from accidents, one from old age, another from childbirth. We sent DNA samples to the lab but some of these people are not included in the data bank. It is possible because they come from poor families or

  • Father And Son

    Dakota pulled out a chair next to August, and sat down.August stuttered, Dakota wasn't much of a talker. So it wasn't going to be a heartfelt father-son conversation like it normally would be, because Dakota, wasn't normal.“I can't sleep, Sam snores loudly, it's very disturbing,” said Dakota.Hearing that, August smiled. He poured tea into another empty cup, handing it to Dakota.“Do you want to sleep in daddy’s room? I won’t snore loudly,” August said.Dakota turned to his father, slowly grabbing the tea cup from his father's hand.“It’s the same, you snore too”, said Dakota.August chuckled, he saw Dakota, whom he missed so much, talking beside him, what else could make him happier than that moment.“Hehe, yes that’s right, if I’m tired I will snore so loud, you better sleep in Kim’s room, let Robert sleep in the guest room.”Dakota d

  • Family Dinner.

    Sam pursed his lips, he nodded.“That’s right, just like Kim said, the man has a first wife who is now in who knows where in the world. Kim said she wasn’t sure if they were divorced or not, it wasn’t public consumption, but what is clear is that soon after his first wife left the house, his younger wife, Amy Mazen took her place in the big house. This is like a melodrama on television, I’m curious too. What happened to his old wife?” Sam stroked his chin, thinking.Dakota leaned back in his chair. Sam might have thought that Dakota was thinking hard about their case, but no, that was not what was on Dakota's mind right now. For a long time, he looked at Sam, silent. Sam straightened his seat, not knowing what Dakota wanted to say, but Sam felt like he did want to say something.“What’s wrong Dax, what’s on your mind?” Sam asked. He was close enough to Dakota to know she had something to say, and that s

  • He Clearly Knows

    “I read in the group that you found other bodies. Have you confirmed that Matt Mazen did it?” Dakota asked.Sam looked at Dakota's serious face, then pursed his lips. He nodded.“Um, all the evidence is clear. There are witnesses who confessed, and Amy Mazen, his mother, also said that her son did all that. Tomorrow John Mazen will arrive from abroad. We will see what he gonna say about his son. From his secretary, said that the man was shocked and could not believe that his son did that,” said Sam.Dakota looked straight ahead, his clear eyes watching the news on the television quite seriously. Sam looked at him, taking a deep breath before continuing his speech, he patted Dakota’s thigh.“I read Matt Mazen’s profile, He has suffered from schizophrenia since a young age. His behavior got worse when he entered high school and he had committed physical violence against some of his classmates. John Mazen was critici

  • The Son

They didn't even refuse at all when Sam and the others visited and wanted to look for the second son of the big family. The waiting room at the front of the three-story house with a classic modern building was very comfortable, not much furniture with only a long sofa for three people and a round table in the middle, on the front wall a large painting as high as the wall that was quite eye-catching. A painting of a large white tiger, with its prey several white rabbits around it and one that was stepped on under its feet. If only Dakota saw this, would he be upset? As far as Sam knew, Dakota liked rabbits. Well, as far as he knew Dakota who always took the time to play with pet rabbits in one of the cafes in the Cyan area when they visited there.

    Another Bodies In The Ground

    The rain was still falling. The sky was slowly getting darker outside, like any other rainy day in Bayward city. The flags of Bayward city and the central police at the top of the pole looked shabby and helpless, wet and crumpled, drooping just like that. While the clouds still looked fat with water that continued to spill covering the entire city. From a distance, there was a pile of vehicles outside the main road of the police headquarters complex. Although the sky looked sad and unenthusiastic, all activities continued as they should.Several officers in the headquarters passed by, lost in their daily activities. Two interrogation rooms on the first floor were seen busy with their witnesses. Meanwhile, Sam sat in the Monitoring room while preparing coffee to enjoy the donuts that had just been bought at their favorite shop across from the headquarters. It was so nice, the cold air like this, enjoying fragrant coffee and his favorite donuts. Moreover, the view was so pleasa
