บท 79: Serial killers

"There have been some murders, which isn't unusual for us," Sergeant Hally began, standing in the middle of the group as everyone listened intently—everyone except Astraval Killian, who looked frustrated but remained silent. The burly sergeant continued, "But you may wonder why a special unit like ours is concerned with them. Well, the reason is the sheer number. So far, there have been 19 murders, and we expect more."

This shocked everyone, and Alix quickly asked, "What were department doing while all these murders happened?"

Sergeant Hally remained composed as he explained, "We've been rounding up suspects. All these murders occurred in the last two months, and every time, multiple bodies were found at the scene. Each time, the victims belonged to the same family—sometimes it was the children and mother, sometimes the father and children, and other times, just the parents."
