The wise said, better the devil you know than the angel you know not. I also tend to say that, sometimes, the angel you know might be the devil you know not about. Jean was sure that she had a partner who was always there for her.
Someone who could take one for her and she still did. John was the kind of person no one would ever suspect had anything to do with the killings or knew anything about them.
One could always think that he was as in the dark as Jean and the rest. Maybe, this was the reason they also said that, it is not a good thing to judge a book by the cover. It is always good to have a peek inside the covers before you can think of judging. Well, we cannot say the same for our friend Detective Jean though. Hers was an open book that had secrets beneath those innocent-looking pages.
Does this mean that, whenever we find an open book for us to read, we should always watch out for secrets within the pages? This I cannot tell but, what I can tell is, th

At the precinct, it was time for the team to gather all they had for use and reference. This included Jonas’ book of dreams back from the captain, any articles about Rebecca and the journals they had by her about the same. They were no longer in search of the killer but the theory behind the killings as well as, the reason for the inscriptions on the dead bodies. To add to what they had to use for the research on this lead they had, Ruddick, the forensic analyst gave Detective Jean another call.On having a look at her phone and saw it was Ruddick calling, she knew nothing comforting was about to come from his findings. He had finished research on the letterings found on the dead bodies. He finally had news that he needed to share with the detective.

Finally, the day was done and it was time for the team to break for the night. Jean requested the Captain to let David and Jonas go home for they had helped them much in the cases. She also pleaded with him to let her work with them to solve the cases until the end. The Captain was not to object this because; even he had seen how they had helped in the case.“Captain, I wish to have a word with you a moment please... in private,” said Detective Jean.“Of course detective. What favor do you want me to do for you this time?”“Well, I am just asking you to let David and Jonas go home for the night. They have surely helped us.”“That will not be a problem. You also knew that we could not have them spend the night here in the precinct, right?”“Yeah, of course I knew about that. Sorry, maybe I played the role of detaining them a little too much and was carried away.”“I understand

If he was to be at his best, he needed to know himself better and, more so, about his newly acquired friend.Rebecca had written quite a number of journals in her lifetime. She also happened to name them in a sequence that one would be able to follow even without her being present to guide. She knew that whatever she saw was greater than anyone was and could happen long after she was gone. Indeed, she was right. It did happen years after she was gone.The mysterious thing though was that, all other books and pictures were there except for two. One of the journals was missing and one picture was missing as well. Thanks to her organizational skills, Jessica could be able to tell the two were missing.

The following day early in the morning, as usual, it was time for all to prepare and head back to solving the murders.

It was Detective Jean calling. She had also seen the news and was calling David to confirm whether he had seen the same.All the channels were reporting breaking news that morning. The Minister of internal security was reported dead after being involved in an accident while driving home from his office the previous night. These were no good news. Such a high-ranking officer in the government dying was a big blow to the Nation and very suspicious given the circumstances.The government could not sit this one out. He had to be replaced immediately or the country was about to break into chaos. A Nation without the Minister of internal security even for the shortest time was like

On the streets, things got worse by the day. More chaos were arising with each sunrise. If one did not know better, one would think that the devil had given birth and built a habitation on earth and needed to feed the off springs.The world was turning into his playground slowly with every single death on the streets and the gradual rise of chaos in the city. Someone needed to do something or the situation was getting out of hand.The following day, as the detective and her team were busy trying to get the connection between the death of the Minister and the other previous bodies they had found, Ruddick the forensic analyst had some more news for her.

Jonas laughed at the joke. They got into the car and headed for the morgue to try finding some answers to the disappearance of the Minister’s body. After a short drive around the city, they arrived and entered the morgue. Indeed, it was just as Ruddick had explained.Nothing was out of place and there was no sign of breakage or violence. That indicated whoever had taken the body must have had easy access to the morgue. The only problem was that, Ruddick was the only one with the keys to the morgue.The other pair of keys was in the custody of Kibich Central Teaching and Referral Hospital (KCTRH). At the time, none of them thought anyone would even get access to the keys from the hospital.The fact was, no one thought about the keys to have been taken. They moved around looking for clues but found none. Even in the security footages, there was nothing at the time the body disappeared.Whoever had taken the Minister’s body was good and must have

The detectives went to search the car for any clues about who could have taken the Minister’s body. The car was burnt but… fire does not always destroy things. Sometimes it can preserve evidence.They had to take a shot, although, a long shot. After a while of going through the burnt remains, Jonas finally found something. It seemed one of the kidnappers dropped a ticket he had acquired from the impound yard earlier the previous day.Indeed, the fire had not consumed everything after all. With the receipt, it was easy for them to track the kidnappers. They went back to the impound lock and asked about anyone suspicious that could have visited the impound yard earlier the previous day. The guard confessed of a visit from one person who claimed to be in the police force and following up on a car involved in a past case.The so-termed officer did not specify which vehicle he was looking for but the guard confessed to have given him the pass. When the d

According to her neighbors, she had not been seen in the past couple of days. Things got more complicated. The only person that could prove the Minister’s wife story was missing and no one knew how to find her.As bad as that seemed, it was not yet time to give up the case. It was not the end of the trail. After a while of silence, the Minister’s wife asked the detective to open the documents that she had been sent showing her husband and the mistress together. Detective Jean opened them without knowing what the Minister’s wife was looking for. She asked detective Jean to check the dates on the pictures as well as on the envelop they were in.According to the statements from her neighbors, it happened to be the very same dates, a couple of days earlier, which the lady was said to
