The tales of Tale 2: The Moving Dead Man
Just like any other day, Looze went to school. But for today, his school would have an early dismissal as there will be visitors from other countries coming in. So as the school bell rang…
“Looze! Where are you going? Wanna go out together?” asked Rachel.
*Rachel is Looze’s childhood friend, and also his love interest.*
“Oh, Rachel. I’m going home. Where do you wanna go?” asked Looze.
“Hmm, let’s go to Tropical Land! I heard its lots of fun there!” exclaimed Rachel.
“Hah, alright. Let’s meet together outside your house at 2pm okay?” Looze smiled.
“Okays!” Rachel replied with a smile.
So both of them went home and prepared for the outing at Tropical Land.
At 1.50pm, Looze stepped out of his house and walk to Rachel’s house to pick her up.
*Tropical Land is a theme park specialized in this series.*
“Ding… Dong…” Looze pressed the door bell.
“Rach! I’m here to pick you up!” Looze shouted.
*Rach is a nickname Looze calls Rachel.*
“Alright! I’m coming!” Rachel replied.
Rachel opened the door and came out. She wore a red shirt and yellow pants, and even wore a pair of blue sneaker.
“Okay let’s go!” Rachel smiled.
Both of them walk together on the street just like a lovely couple until they reach Tropical Land.
“Hey! Let’s take the roller coaster!” said Rachel.
“Sure, if you want.” Looze smiled.
Suddenly a man with sunglasses and a cap walked past and knocked onto Looze. He apologized immediately with his head down and walked quickly away. Looze looked at him thinking that he is suspicious.
Both of them went on the ride and had great fun.
“So, what do you wan to do next?” asked Looze.
“I’m not sure, how about that?” Rachel pointed.
“Ahhhhhhh!” a scream broke out, out of no where.
Looze turned his head towards where the scream was coming from and ran towards it. Rachel followed close behind him.
They reached the place and saw a woman with a shocked face.
“What’s wrong?” Looze asked her.
“Over in the bushes. A dead man.” the woman replied.
Looze turned towards the dead man. He was the same person who had knocked onto Looze before he went for the ride. There was a bullet wound on his head and he was sitting on a chair.
“A shot straight to his head, an instant kill.” Looze thought to himself.
“Rach, call the police!” Looze shouted.
Few minutes later, the police arrived with Inspector Max, Officer Tommy and Doctor James.
“According to the victim’s identity card, he is Jordon Nash. Age 39 and is working as an engineer.” Inspector Max said.
“The death blow would be the shot straight to his head Inspector. After conducting an autopsy we believe he died 30 to 45 minutes ago.” Doctor James reported.
“That is impossible. We saw him 20 minutes ago.” Loose shouted.
“What?! You saw the victim? Oh, it’s you Loose.” said Inspector Max.
“Yes definitely, Rachel saw it too. Right?” asked Loose.
“Yea, we indeed saw him.” Rachel nodded.
“Are you sure you didn’t see the wrong person?” Inspector Max questioned.
“A 5 minutes ride, and around 5 minutes for the police to arrived, 5 minutes to queue up and wait for our ride. And including the amount of time we took from the roller coaster to here. It takes around 20 minutes.” Loose calculated.
“We saw the victim too. Just 10 minutes ago!” one of the gathered people shouted.
“You guys too? Don’t tell me the victim revived?” Inspector Max joked.
“That is stupid. For someone to revive.” Loose thought.
“Isn’t that Jordon?” one female said.
“Yea, it is. What happened?” one male replied.
“Excuse me, do you know the victim?” Officer Tommy asked.
“Yes, we do. The 3 of us came here together” the female replied.
“And may I know who the both of you are?” Inspector Max questioned.
“I am Christine John, Jordon’s work mate.” Christine replied.
“You can call me Jimmy, Jimmy New. I am also their work mate.” said Jimmy.
“May I know why the 3 of you came here?” Inspector Max asked.
“We came here just to relax ourselves after completing a tough project.” Christine replied.
“Inspector, isn’t it weird for someone to die on a chair, especially inside a bush?” Looze questioned.
“That’s what I have been wondering from the start.” Inspector Max replied.
“Hey Miss, may I know how did you happen to find the corpse?” Looze ask the woman who found the body.
“I was going to the toilet. I saw someone sitting there. I thought he was just sitting there looking at the sky. But after I came out from the toilet, he was still sitting there s the same position before I went in. So I went to take a look and found out he was dead.” the woman answered.
Looze walked into the bushes to examine the body and the surrounding area so that he could find some clue.
“Uh… Wait a minute… Where are his sunglasses and cap? I remember he was wearing it when I saw him.” Looze wondered.
“Excuse me sir, when you saw him 10 minutes ago, was he wearing a sunglasses and a cap?” Looze asked one of those to claim to have seen the victim.
“Come to think of it, yes, he was wearing one.” he answered.
Looze continued to examine the body. He glanced through the body and found something weird.
“If I remember correctly, when I saw the victim, his watch was worn on the right hand. But now, he is wearing it on the left hand.” Looze thought through.
“Inspector! We have found the murder weapon. It was found inside a rubbish bin beside the washroom. It had a silencer attached to it.” Officer Tommy reported.
“That must be why no one heard a gunshot. Send it straight to check for fingerprints.” Inspector Max ordered.
“Yes sir!” Officer Tommy took off.
Looze went about to examine the chair the victim was sitting on.
“UH… What’s this? Makeup foundation?” Looze looked at the victim’s pants.
Looze turned around and looked at the person he suspected.
“Heh, I got it. I know who the murderer is!” Looze smiled.
----- DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS? -----
“Inspector, I am pretty sure who the culprit is.” Looze shouted.
Everyone that was gathered was shocked and was eager to know who the culprit is.
“Looze, you sure you know who the culprit is?” Rachel asked.
“Haaa… I am very sure. I even have proof that he is the one.” Looze replied.
“Could you tell us who the culprit is already?” Christine asked.
“Very well then. If you really want to know. The culprit is you! Jimmy New!” Looze snapped his fingers and pointed out.
Jimmy face turned pale white upon hearing the news. He was shivering with fear.
“How can you say that?! Do you have proof that I did it?” Jimmy stuttered.
“You want proof? I have plenty. But first let me explain the occurance of the victim that was seen by me and others.”
“First of all, the one that we saw was not the victim at all. It was you who is the one in disguise. Notice that the victim now isn’t wearing his sunglasses and his cap compared to when I saw him?”
“That is because you were wearing the exact same outfit as him in disguise. And in order not to leak your face to others, you wore a sunglasses and a cap.”
“Secondly, the victim now is wearing his watch on his left hand. But when I saw him earlier, he was wearing it on his right hand.” Looze deduced.
“Maybe you have seen wrong and how can you proof that I was the one in disguised?” Jimmy denied.
“Sir, can you remember where the victim’s watch was on when you saw him earlier?” Looze ask the man who claim that he had seen the victim.
“I pretty much sure it’s on the right hand.” the man answered with no doubt.
“And earlier on, I saw you picking up your phone and your water bottle with your left hand. This shows that you are left handed. And as left handed people wears watches on their right hand I could say that it you be you.” said Looze.
“I don’t think you would be satisfied with this as an evidence to be pointing you out to be the culprit. But take a look at the victim’s pants on the right leg. You could see makeup foundation.”
“That must have got there when you carried him over your shoulder. And the pants got stain by makeup foundation that was supposingly from your shirt.”
“May I take a look at your shirt sir?” Officer Tommy asked.
“Yes, there is makeup foundation on his shirt Inspector!” Officer Tommy reported.
“But that doesn’t prove anything!” Jimmy claimed.
“How about we checked for your fingerprint on the back of the pants where normally no one would touch? Since you touched it when you carried the culprit to the chair…”
“Heh, well, you must have gotten that makeup foundation from Christine somehow.” Looze replied in awe.
“But Looze can you explain the chair?” Inspector Max asked.
“That, you will need to ask Jimmy. I guess it would probably be involved in something that happened before.” Looze answered.
Jimmy fell to the ground on his knees. He started let out some tears.
“It was his entire fault! I had no choice but to avenge my younger sister.”
“Last year, my sister and he were dating. She was happier than before after she started dating him. But one day, Jordon decided to break up with her. My sister was so devastated that she committed suicide by shooting herself on a chair at home. After know about this, I decided to avenge her.”
“I had the 3 of us to come here so that I would let Jordon have some fun and get killed. Just like how my sister was happy before she died. When Christine decided to go to the toilet, I used that chance to kill Jordon.” Jimmy cried as he thought of his younger sister.
So, Jimmy was taken back to the police station to have his statement taken down. After all, he had committed a murder which may have him sentence to death.
“Great job again Looze. Keep up the good work.” Inspector Max congratulated.
“I will, Inspector!” Looze shouted.
“Hey Looze, you were pretty awesome today! You were so cool when you made you deduction to everyone!” Rachel smiled.
“Oh really? I guessed this is me. Hahahaha.” Looze laughed.
So the both of them went back home together after a mystery adventure today. And remember there is no perfect crime. And there will only be one truth.
