The Investigation Chapter 2
The police got a tip off from an anonymous person from the pay phone at West and Main at a little past midnight on the night of Sakyo's murder. The mysterious figure stated "There has been a murder at the Sakyo residence" then hung up with a click. The police tried to find out more but there was no reply. There was only a dial tone after these mysterious words were said. The police immediately called for an ambulance from headquarters and rushed over as fast as the black and whites could go. As the police were arriving, they saw the ambulance that they had radioed earlier, already at the mansion. They were carrying out a man in a body bag. What they were so shocked about was that they would later find that it was Sakyo in the body bag, Sakyo with the knife in his throat, Sakyo was drenched in blood, the great Sakyo.... was dead!
Even though he had been a miserable bastard for the better part of his life, the entire town came to see as Sakyo was lowered to eternal rest in the graveyard. Nobody could stop talking about it. How solemn he looked, and who or what killed him. Come to think of it, nobody felt safe, as they didn't know where "it" was hiding. The reason the towns' folk called it "it" was they didn't know if a person had killed Sakyo or a spirit. The towns' folk were very superstitious because the myth of the ghost came to be in Sakyo's, so nobody, not even the police dared investigate too far into the crime, for fear that the "spirits" would get angry because they screwed up and assault the town. To hell with Sakyo, they wouldn't risk their necks for a crime that didn't make sense. None of the clues added up. Who killed Sakyo and why? Because no one in the town knew about his double life, they couldn't solve the murder. If they had known then it would've made more sense. They had no suspects, no witnesses, and most importantly, they lacked hard evidence. The killer had done a good job of covering his tracks.
However, there is one rookie cop who was crazy enough, who just might be able to solve the crime. I wasn't superstitious. I believed that a person had killed my father. Yes I was the only Sakyo child. Unfortunately, I had moved out several years ago to a different house on the other side of town. My name is Jamie, and my adventures will lead three others and me into......... the mines of death.
