Chương 29: Police
The magical thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.
Pablo's real home was not in Seraphim but he still said 'I am home'. He could at least enjoy a temporary home in Seraphim. Even if it belonged to someone else.
Pablo saw the door of the house was closed this time and before going in, he ordered Flashy to check inside first.
Flashy, being a coward, slowly opened the door and went inside.
Pablo followed behind him as they walked on the same corridor as before.
They reached the entrance of the hall where they had seen the three family members before and this time, when Flashy saw the latest scene, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"There is no one here, Boss. I think it's safe." Flashy said and let Pablo come forward.
Pablo saw the hall and nodded.
"This is good." He said. Only three chairs were placed in the center of the hall and other than that, there was nothing related to the fact that a family was tied there.
"Where did they hide the bodies though?" Pablo asked and he somewhat knew what the answer was.
"Inside their bracelets of course." Flashy replied and Pablo smiled.
"So it really can store bodies. I am gonna need it." Pablo made a mental note.
"I am sure the moment you heard about the bracelets you thought of storing bodies inside them." Cupid commented and Pablo just chuckled.
'You are learning.' He said.
Cupid scoffed and Pablo finally looked around the house.
The size of the hall was average, the kitchen was there and a dining table was placed there as well. A big sofa too.
Seven chairs were also there and in one of the chairs, Pablo notched something.
"A hair. Must be that woman."
A long hair was lying on the chair and it was the same chair on which the woman was tied. Pablo only saw it because he was looking at everything carefully.
"Say Flashy, I don't know much about Cities but is there any punishment if you are found killing someone? I mean, is there any special force that tries to maintain peace?"
Pablo was asking about Police but he wasn't sure if Flashy would understand the word Police.
"The soldiers of Count, who have strong Egoes, roam around the city and they try to uphold justice. At least on the outside. Inside, they are hungry for money. They will let a murderer, even a rapist go if they get a good amount of gold in return."
"So gold is used here as currency. Must be gold coins, right?"
"Yes. Don't you know such things though?" Flashy asked.
"I know. I just wasn't sure about the city. That's all. Anyway, is there any way here to tell the identity of someone by looking just at their fingerprints or dna?" Pablo asked another question.
"I don't think there is anything like that here. Sure there are some private detectives whose Egoes help them catch a culprit but not what are you saying."
"I see." Pablo nodded and blew the hair off from the chair.
"Why are you asking all that? You never bothered to wipe off your marks from the crime scene back on earth." Cupid asked.
'I did that because I knew no one would be able to catch me even after knowing I am the culprit. But since I don't know much about this world, I would stay careful.'
Cupid gave an understanding nod and went silent.
"Let's get changed, Flashy. Many things to do tomorrow. And I think you can find something to eat in the kitchen here." Pablo said and walked towards the stairs.
Flashy followed behind him.
"Do you know where the bedroom is?" Flashy asked.
"Yeah. The man motioned his eyes in this direction when he told me about those four guys. And there is only one staircase. The kitchen and dining hall are already below so the bedroom must be upstairs. And most of all…"
Pablo stopped and pointed his finger at the floor of the hall.
Cupid and Flashy both looked down and their brows shot up.
"Footprints?" Flashy exclaimed.
Pablo smiled. "That's right. Those four thieves left their footprints all over the place and they are also on the stairs. There is dirt and shoe marks everywhere. We are bare feet so it only means these belong to those four people."
"So we just follow them and we will reach the bedroom?" Flashy asked.
"Yes."
"Great, Boss. I didn't even see the footprints. How does your mind work like that? I mean, it didn't even register to me that I should look for footprints."
"He is a criminal, that's why." Cupid answered for Flashy.
Pablo ignored her. "You will learn soon. Let's just go."
Pablo started walking again as he followed the footsteps.
Flashy followed him as they both climbed the stairs.
In two seconds, they climbed to the top and stood in the corridor. There, they saw three white doors.
"One of these rooms is a bedroom." Pablo said and followed the footprints again.
The footprints went to the end of the corridor, at the last white door.
Pablo and Flashy stood in front of the door.
"You go first." Pablo said.
Flashy somewhat knew Pablo would say that so he was ready to go inside.
He slowly opened the door and it opened easily as well. He faced no resistance.
After that, he peeked his head inside the room.
"Just go." Pablo pushed Flashy and before he knew it, Flashy was inside the room.
"Ahngh. Don't kill me. Please." Flashy shouted and Pablo's eyes widened.
'Don't tell me? Someone is inside? Shit.'
