Log check
2:42 P.M.
A female around mid-20 was found dead in her apartment. She was found with multiple stab wounds in a shape of a K and had carbon monoxide pouring out of her body. Cause of death is still unclear. It is likely a serial killer. Four other females around the same age group were killed in a similar manner .Each body was found on the same day of each month. The crime scene may be invalid. A man was found near the scene around the time of death. He had raven hair and crimson eyes.
5:23 P.M.
Sigh…..
I closed my book and went to get some coffee. The serial killer case is still wearing me down. It scares me to think that one of my old friends was a killer. He had raven hair and crimson eyes just like the description. He disappeared around May of 2011. The serial killing spree started around June. Now it is November and he is nowhere to be seen. The only thing that is preventing him from being guilty is the time. Why would he wait for one month before killing? Where? There is also the fact that he was pretty well known. In most cases, serial killers hold grudges and were pretty secluded. I knew him for most of my life and he had never hold a grudge like that for what I know. There are many mysteries that still protect him; however he is still the main suspect. He was my best friend.
"The murder weapon was found at a park near the crime scene" the chief bellowed out
In most cases serial killers leave the weapon at the scene as a mockery to the police. The question is why did he try to hide it? With this fact it is concluded not a premeditated murder, but that knocks down the theory of a serial killer. It seems like the killer is trying to make us run in circle.
"It could also be an accomplice doing this or a copycat" I blurted out without much thought
An accomplice works for one goal. They use each other for an alibi. A copycat is a person uses the same manner to kill someone, so they are not suspected. With that they can make an alibi for the other deaths without trying. They may not know the originals work for the first three completely.
As soon as I said it I had regretted it immediately. Their heads turn to me expecting something else. The shock on the chief's face only stayed for a second before reacting to my words.
"That could also be a possible solution" he said solemnly
"What is your name?"
It seems like he was quite mad for stealing his spotlight. I ignored the stares and reply.
"Yukihara Sakura Mikan sir"
The other detectives' eyes grew slightly. Yukihara was the maiden name of my mothers. Before marriage, she was considered one of the best detectives in Tokyo. She had become a legend in only one year's worth of time, but disappears at the ripe of her time. I have always considered that I only got this job due to my mother's fame, and I might never come out of her shadow. Most just shrugged it off believing it's a coincidence while other still gave awed glances at me. The chief looked like I killed his favorite childhood dog. His red face calmed down after a few minutes. He soon continues to list down the facts of the murder. It was all the same clues, but had a few more detailed
"Meeting adjourned"
Everyone began to rise from their seats. I stayed along with six other people. It was two girls that were twins, a stoic girl name Hotaru, a silly boy named Koko, a shy boy name Yuu, and Ruka. Every one of them had made a name in this district. The twins were known for anthropology. They are the best known for finding facts from corpses, no matter how decomposed it was. They are able to find the basic, such as age, gender, cause of death, height of the killer, and even reconstruct the face; however the state of the body can determine the details. Hotaru is a serious and stoic female. She advances in technology. If she can get details on a person's feature, she can identify him/her. Even if it is from just a sketch, Hotaru can look up the person and their history. She usually works with the twins to identify the victims. She is in charge with the system here to prevent any hackers. Koko is a very silly and fun loving boy, and is the interrogator of the group. You are unable to hide something from him. Like taking a candy from a baby, he can get info from the criminal. He has this way of talking that can make you spill out every secret you have. He can even read facial patterns. He'll know when you are sad, happy, anything. He is also someone who loves to blab his mouth. Then there is Yuu and Ruka, they were a team. They worked under covered cases. The two were like a miracle team. I believe it may come from their appearance and acting skills. Those two do not give off an illusion of the stereotypical cop. They only started three months ago, and they already solved more cases then the average ratio. I am considered for my observation and deduction skills. I have photographic memory which helps me in a time of need. Everyone is around their early 20's and they all started only a couple months prior to the first incident. I never really talked to them before.
"What is it you need?" the chief barked at us.
No one flinched at it. They all looked at each other surprised by the grouping. There was so much tension in the room it could be cut with a knife. I decided to talk to break the awkwardness first.
"I believe everyone have the same motive for staying behind. We all want to be the main group for this case." I assumed irrationally
They looked at me with shock and a bit of gratefulness in some. The chief had an outrageous face. He looked like he was talking to preschoolers.
"You all do know that you are still novices in this area" he spoke slowly
I could see Hotaru's eye twitch a little. Everyone in this room was thoroughly annoyed. The tension was back on and more furious than before.
"We have more talent than everyone else in this agency" Hotaru replied stiffly
The chief laugh out loud. He looked with arrogance.
"I have been in this line of jobs for more than twenty years; we do not need silly little kids to butt into this serious case. All of you are still novices, everyone else have at least ten years of experience more then you." He said with an amused face
"If you don't need anything else I'll be leaving now." He said followed by a hearty laugh
He left behind silence in the room. The stale air was making it hard to breathe. Ruka only chuckled awkwardly. Everyone stared at one another; was it always going to be like this? I rose from my seat and left the room leaving the unnerving silence…..
I frantically looked over my notes again and again. There must be something I was missing, anything. I was not going to quite due to my bastard of a boss. I decided to go independent if no one was going to help. I looked over my notes and still contemplated about my theory. An accomplice or a copycat can be the cause of the fifth murder, but there still is the fact that Natsume is still missing and the other four are still a mystery. After three hours of searching I was about to give up. Suddenly I got a text from an unknown number. I began pondering who it was. It said…..
Meet me at the station at 9:00
-Ruka
Ruka? Why would he send me this text? Forget about that, where did he get my number? I decided to not to think too much about it and left. I arrived there thirty minutes later and discovered everyone else there too. Anna and Nonoko had a worry face while Hotaru had her usual stoic face, and the boys were restless. Ruka finally came ten minutes later.
"Took you long enough Nogi" Hotaru grumbled
You could just about everyone was peeved.
"Sorry I got stuck in traffic" Ruka panted in between words
"What do you mean, you got stuck in traffic? We all came from the same place." Koko said
"I had other stuff to prepare for this meeting."
I had just notice the bag in his hand. It was awfully big, but I had no idea what it was.
"What is it?" Anna said
"It is all the data I could get from the serial case."
I blinked my eyes, is that a dream? After I left, everyone came together and discussed about working together. Apparently they all had known Natsume, and were helped by him at least once. I could not believe my ears. We were really going to do this.
"Well here is what I have" Ruka exclaimed
I could not hear what he said next. I soon blacked out…..
This is the first time I wrote a mystery fanfic. I was never that great at writing as much as reading, but I hope you like it. I'm still a little new at this, so wish me luck. Thank you for reading this, and please R&R
