Akaichi Sorry about the break. Had a really bad flu, or maybe something else. I had to stay in bed for an entire week. But now I am much better.

It was late at night when Lea got the letter. It had arrived just as she finished her work and was intending to leave the station.
The sender was anonymous. The carrier informed her that the client requested that this letter should be delivered at this time, two days ago, to the last officer at this station.

She frowned as she looked around her at the empty desks of her colleague who have already left. It was very late, but it was her habit to leave last. She would never leave unfinished work to the next day. And that hateful Victor's behavior didn’t help with her work. He is probably enjoying a special time with that pretty boy right now, she thought.

As a hard-working police officer she couldn’t hold back her curiosity toward the letter, so she sat down again to open the envelope and began to read what was written inside.

 

Dear Officer.

I will keep my Identity a secret for reasons you will understand after reading my letter. There is a secret that I couldn’t hold back. I am afraid for my life. They have already killed my boss, and I am afraid that I am next, so I made sure this letter would be delivered to you long after I left the country.

My boss’s name was Jacob Rice, He was the security manager at Horizon Media.
Yesterday he was nervous about the appointment of a new CEO. He was afraid that he would be found out for embezzling a huge amount of money.
At that time, when we were on the road, he was approached by a handsome man I have never seen before.

They didn’t let me hear their conversation, but when the man left. The boss called me over and let me help him in rigging the car the CEO was going to take in the morning.

The car was rigged to break down then explode. But Victor, the new CEO, survived by a miracle and came to the company the next day. He began a thorough investigation into the company. The boss’s sister Ms. Carla, the vice president, was slapped a hundred times. She will have to see a dentist for the next few months. The boss was furious and decided to take revenge, so he went alone tonight to the place where Victor Lives. He took explosives with him.

Late at night, when I was heading to the boss’s hiding place to ask about how did it go, I saw the man who talked to the boss the previous day leaving the hideout with a rolled rug. I had a bad feeling so I followed him, making sure to stay hidden and not to take the same route.

I saw him bury the boss’s corpse in some grove while saying something like “YOUR ROLE IS OVER NOW”. It would be my end if they found me. So I am writing this letter for you officer.

Please Catch the killer, and avenge my boss. I don’t know what was that man’s name but he has very eye-catching purple hair.

I included a hand-drawn map showing our hideout, and where my boss was buried.

Lea looked at the papers in her hand with suspicion. This letter is very fishy, and only someone stupid would believe everything in it. But it had something to do with the case in her hand so she had to investigate it.

With that, Officer Lea decided to take a midnight trip to have a look at the places mentioned in this letter. Maybe it has the evidence she needs to convict Victor.

It took her three hours to inspect all the locations mentioned in the letter, first the apartment building where the crime supposedly took place and then the grove where the body was supposedly buried, and to her surprise, there was a body there. It was Jacob Rice. She quickly recognized him as he was one of the suspects in Victor’s car crash she was investigating. It was the driver Leo who after waking up in the hospital confessed that his boss Jacob was the only one with access to the car, but after looking at the companies security tapes she found nothing, as they seemed to have conveniently malfunctioned that night.

After calling for backup she quickly headed back to the apartment building and began to look for evidence but found nothing of value. She didn’t give up. She left the building and began to scan the street for security cameras, there were quite a few of those. So as a diligent police officer she quickly called the owners of those cameras in the middle of the night and made them bring her the footage under the threat of arrest for obstructing justice.

It was near morning when she got all the recordings she asked for, and after some analysis, she quickly found the footage of Jacob entering the apartment building and then an hour later the footage of a handsome man with a purple ponytail who entered then left a while later with the corpse. That guy was avoiding cameras on purpose, but Lea was able to find a clear shot of his face in a hidden camera that some pervert have installed under a vending machine.

If there is someone she hated more than Nick it was this guy. He was the master behind most of the organized crime in Vein city. She couldn’t arrest him or even ask about him, her father has warned her not to go near him. But that didn’t stop her from investigating all his crimes. From drug and human trafficking to money laundering and murder.

“I got you, at last, Titus White,” She thought. She couldn’t touch him before, but Nick’s murder has something to do with him, It was probably a power struggle inside that white family. She didn’t believe he would escape punishment this time.

 

 

Titus Von Weise, a young man who had a long purple heir with a stylish ponytail was sitting on his leather chair with a thick book in his hand when Baron entered and bowed respectfully without saying anything. Young master Titus didn’t like to be interrupted and although he appeared to be an educated gentleman, Baron knew that he was a cruel calculating animal.

“You can stand up, All done?” Titus asked without raising his head after making Baron bow for five whole minutes.
After waiting three seconds for an answer he heard none.

“What happened?” this time he raised his head to look at Baron who was sweating like a pig.

“Victor has some shit luck. He has discovered a dungeon in the cloudy mountain and maids all his into players, so I couldn’t touch them. As for the explosives, we didn’t find any in the mansion.” Baron said.

“Oh.” Titus frowned. He planned to send Nick to the mansion that night to kill Victor. If he were to fail, he expected Victor to kill him in retaliation, and implicate himself and that was what he believed had happened, it was a perfect plan. But He didn’t expect Nick to die in a car explosion away from the mansion. Things had gone beyond his calculations, but not by much. He believed that the explosion was Victor’s work, so he only needs to find the evidence or create one if needed.

“Forget about the girls, their role is secondary. The investigator was decided to be my uncle, so we will get a chance to find suitable evidence. Just sprinkle some black powder on Victor’s clothes and leave it to my uncle to weave a story. You got the clothes he wore that night?” He asked with a frown as if he would not accept a negative answer.

“Yes, Young master, We have already got them.” Said Baron respectfully.

“What about the ring Nick bought at the auction? Did you find anything like that on his corpse?” Titus asked again.

“We got all Nick’s belongings. But they were not on the corpse. Victor made him strip and leave everything in the Mansion. We already got them though, they didn’t contain the ring we wanted. Are you sure that Nick got that ring? Maybe he left it somewhere else, his Phone was placed in a drawer in a brothel.” Baron said.

“Hmm. Not really. We only got the report that he had purchased it in an auction three months ago. It doesn’t matter, get the clothes ready, then head to the airport to welcome my uncle. You were officially tasked with assisting him in the investigation.”

“Yes, young master.” Said Baron as he left the room without daring to turn his back to his young master.

Titus didn’t care, just returned to his book, everything was under his control, he thought as he heard his phone's ringing sound. He quickly answered after glancing at the caller’s name with an evil smirk.

“Ah, Hi Linda, I was just thinking about you.” He said while wondering what would Victor's face look like when he discovers that he was courting his fiancee.
