章 4: -THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR LOVE
Then Soe San and I checked the autopsy reports, and we found out that the victim died after being hit in the head with a strong object, and the organs were removed on the same day. That was not the style of a serial killer.
"Now, can we go to the chief to ask permission for an investigation?"
"Do you know why the Team A members did not pay attention to this point?"
"Is there a problem?"
Soe San then went to check something, and shortly after, he came up with a file. That was the file of the first victim, which Soe San briefly explained,
"This is his first victim report, and there is no organ removal. The ankh symbol was not as big as that of the other victim, but his killing style becomes more brutal as the number of killings increases."
Yes, the first victim I know little about her because she studied at my college when she was killed. I got into an accident during that time, so I don't remember very much. The only thing I remember is that she was the daughter of a police officer, and people spread the news that the killer killed his daughter out of hatred for police officers. The victim's father was a great person who arrested many criminals and solved many cases.
"The first killing was not brutal compared to others, but the impact was big."
I didn't fully understand Ray San's statement, then Shuna San showed me a photo.
"He was the one who conducted the autopsy of the first victim due to his instinct. Then, two days later, he jumped from the building and died, and after the police officer's investigation, they find out that he was the victim's lover and that he committed suicide because he no longer wished to live without his lover."
Then Soe San took the photo, and he had a sad expression. The way he looked in the photo, I think the one who died must be his friend or family member.
"He is our station's best coroner, and look at this. The last victim found by the police also worked in the coroner's field."
Soe San showed us data on the last victim collected by Team A. We thoroughly checked every bit of data about the last victim, whose name was Shizuka Minamoto.
The time is running out, and we have to find the murderer of the last victim.
The time remaining is 65 hours to save the life of the victim captured by the serial killer.
To not waste any time, Soe San suggests that Soe San and I will go to the chief and explain the situation, while the rest of the team members will go collect details about the victim (Shizuka) and the statements of the victim's friends and family. Then I went to the chief's office with Soe San, but before I entered the room, Soe San stopped me.
"Listen, newbie, don't say anything to the chief until I tell you..."
"Okay, I will shut my mouth, so you don't need to be concerned about me."
When the door opened, I saw a gorgeous girl sitting on a chair and checking files.
She also has the aura of a strong woman, which makes everyone obedient. I forgot about the serial killer, and the only thing that was on my mind was her gorgeous image . What is this feeling? It was the first time I became attracted to someone. Is this what they call "love at first sight"?
"Hey, newbie, let me introduce you to our chief, Hikari Hagiwara, and chief, he is our new appointment, and his name is...Mmm, hey, what was your name? Yaa Sateru"
I tried to keep myself from being distracted. Then the chief grasped my hand.
"Welcome to our police decision, and we are expecting a lot of good work from you."
"I will do my best.If you don't mind, do you have a boyfriend?"
When I realised what I had said, the room fell silent, and Soe San asked,
"Are you out of your mind?"
The chief quickly released her hand from me, and she had taken a step back away from me.
"Sorry, I don't mean to."
"Excuse me, chief, but could you please give us a second?"
Before I could complete my sentence, Soe San dragged me out of the room and looked at me with an angry face.
"Police officers also needed time for romance, but this is not the time for that."
"Mmm, sorry."
"You stay here, and I will go to talk with the chief."
Then I went to the chief's room, and I stayed outside the room. After a short time, Soe San came out of the room. He had an exhausted face.
"Hey newbie , the Chief agreed to reinvestigate Shizuka Minamoto's murder on one condition."
"What is the condition?"
"According to your theory, there was a body in the mountains, right?"
" Yes"
"We have to find the body today without leaking news to the media and other teams."
So if we find the body of the victim that was killed by the serial killer, we can investigate Shizuka Minamoto's case, but if we don't find anything, that means that call was just a prank and not made by a serial killer, I thought to myself. Then Soe San asked team members to come to Exmoor Mountain. Then we went outside the police station and started to walk to the parking spot.
"Hey newbie, have you fallen in love with our chief?"
"What are you saying?"
I quickly got into the car, and Soe San stared at me through the car window. I didn't know what to say to Soe San to change the subject. Then Soe San entered the car and I avoided him by looking through the car mirror.
"Hey newbie, if you're serious about pursuing our chief, I have a warning for you.She is a very strong woman, so you have to be very careful when dealing with her."
"To be honest, I prefer strong women."
"Are you sure?"
Then I started the vehicle, and I drove the car to Exmoor Mountain. During our journey, Soe San kept looking into my face with a smile.
"Do you find anything amusing about my face?"
" No"
"Then why are you smiling while looking into my face?"
"Hey, I have worked with Hikari for more than 2 years, so if you want to know more about her, you can ask after this case is over."
"Okay, then please help my love."
"Okay, I can do that."
"Don't spread any gossip about me on the team, either."
"Okay, I can't do that."
"please "
"No"
The conversation continued. The conversation gave me relief from the stress of the case, and we arrived at our destination. Exmoor Mountain, where the last victim's body was hidden.
