The Body
Dakota looked upward, the sound of the wind could be heard from small holes in each wall, there were not many holes, it was to keep the room warm so there were only one or two small holes on each floor. Arriving at the upper floor, Sam held the door handle, preparing to open it, he looked at Dakota behind him, ensuring they were ready for whatever was inside. Slowly, Sam turned the door knob.“Kreeek”But, there was nothing inside that room, not even objects, any furniture, visible from the dim light coming in from the air holes, dust particles flew in the air. Sam put his firearm back into his holster, waving away the dust in front of his eyes.“Look at this dust, it seems it really has not been opened for a long time” Sam said.Dakota inspected around the small room no larger than three by three, there was a pile of dry straw on the side of the room shielded from the sunlight from the air holes. Dakota approached.Slowly, they approached and saw
The Villa
Late afternoon. Sam drove for about an hour toward the border of Bayward city, along with two support units from the local district five police, at the city border, Sam and Dakota visited a quite large vila at the end of a quiet road near the lake. The area is used by residents as holiday houses, so if it is not holiday season, the area is quiet with few visitors. Several residents, who served as holiday villa caretakers, came out to greet the police and Sam. The middle-aged man and his wife looked confused, seeing the house suddenly visited by police without prior notice.The villa, or holiday house, consists of several simple, comfortable and beautiful buildings with trees around them. From its condition, it is quite well-maintained and clean. The main house is a single-story building in a village house model, with bamboo walls and a thatched roof. Although that is only a form of decoration since the main materials still use modern materials. Sam stopped in the middle of th
Secret Room
Back at the office.Sam sat back in the chair, forehead wrinkled while observing the whiteboard in front, which was getting so full that there was almost no space left.The murder case at the Mazen family home had become a long issue, evolving further and further from the starting point. All photos of suspects, the homeowners, to the photo of Rosana Bain they just obtained filled the board. Now all the red lines pointed to the photos of Amy Mazen and Rosana Bain, as well as Matt Mazen as murder suspects.However, some evidence they found in Matt's room showed that all this time, he was manipulated by Amy Mazen who frequently gave him drugs until he became increasingly aggressive. The evidence of Matt's hospital records inside Amy Mazen's room became a strong clue. But, everything was very strange, as if all the evidence was intentionally placed just like that at a time like this.Sam stroked his chin, currently, they only needed to find Amy Mazen and get
Oversized Clothes
After obtaining an arrest warrant for Amy Mazen, the Bayward police dispatched officers to search for the woman at all Mazen family residences in and around Bayward. To date, there is no data indicating that the woman left the city by plane; she might have used land routes. However, her whereabouts remain untraceable, even though Erw has conducted visual searches with surveillance cameras throughout the entire city.Sam and Dakota visited the Mazen family home in District 1. The servant said that Mrs. Mazen had not returned to that house for over a week. Meanwhile, John Mazen was at another large house on the outskirts of the city, and Douglas was on a business trip on the outskirts of Bayward. In addition to Sam's jeep, two police service vehicles arrived to collect evidence.Sam entered the large house, which was now only guarded by a few house servants. Since the murder case began in that large house, activities in the main Mazen family residence seemed to have ceased. Gradually, t
The Photo
Luk entered the four-by-four room with only a few pieces of furniture, a small bed on one side of the room, and a small table beside the bed. There was a cardboard box used to store clothes, all piled up haphazardly, with many other clothes on the floor and a chair near the small table on the other side of the room. Meanwhile, the floor was covered with several paper scraps and small plastic items. Rina approached the table at the foot of the small bed with an unpleasant-smelling blanket, Rina wore two layers of masks and could still smell the musty room."Ugh, how could someone live in a place like this? Don't you men ever clean your own living spaces? Luk, don't invite me to your apartment," Rina said, glancing at Luk out of the corner of her eye.Luk, a handsome young man with a dapper style, hair always neatly combed with pomade, and the scent of expensive perfume sprayed on the branded cloth
A Housewife
Meanwhile, in another interrogation room, at the end of the room. Rina and Luk sat in front of a beautiful woman who was no longer young, Amy Mazen, who was also accompanied by her lawyer that afternoon. The woman looked nervous. Her lawyer said that her client had been having trouble sleeping lately and had to make several visits to a psychiatrist, unable to sit too long in an enclosed room. She looked anxious and kept wringing her fingers.Rina presented a facial sketch of the suspected man who died in a burnt condition, so they couldn't get an accurate photo of his face. But it seemed the sketch closely resembled his real face, Amy Mazen's eyes widened slightly. She averted her gaze."Do you know this man? Strangely, we haven't found much information about this man, but from the phone number he used when he tried to escape, and finally, we found that he kept your phone number, and after furthe
