The tales of Tale 6: Detectives Arrived! (Part 4)
--- Recap ---
Zen was murdered! Then, Hong was murdered! Looze seemed to find out who the murderer really is. Do you know who?
--- Story ---
Looze smiled and walked back to find Inspector James to tell him the truth but he was stopped by the detective from New York, Amy.
“Looze, could you come here for a moment?” Amy requested.
“Yes? What do you want from me?” Looze asked as he walked.
“It seems like you know Masaki Souno. Is that right?” Amy asked.
“I don’t really know him well. But I met him on a case.” Looze answered.
“Please do not get too close with him. He may not be the type of person that you actually know.” Amy advised Looze.
“What do you mean?” Looze wondered.
Just then, Amy reached her hand into her pocket. She took out a badge and flashed it to Looze. Upon looking at it, Looze’s eyes widen and had a loss for speech.
“You… You… Are an FBI agent?” Looze could not believe what he saw.
“Yes I am. Please do not tell anyone about it. I am currently undercover in search of the Criminal Organization, Red Faces.” Amy declared.
“Red Faces? Who are they?” Looze insisted.
“As I said, they are a Criminal Organization. They are capable of doing anything like murder, bombing, arson, etc. What the problem is that they leave no trace of evidence once they commit these crimes. Their leader, codename Red Head is a very mysterious and cruel person. Although he rarely makes his own actions, he never fails when he does.” Amy explained.
“But what does that have to do with Souno? Don’t tell me that he is in Red Faces?” Looze seek his answers.
“We are not confirmed if he is in Red Faces. But he is being suspected to be one of them, codename Red Wings. That is all I can reveal to you, the rest are confidential. Once again, please keep a secret that I am an FBI agent, and keep away from Masaki Souno.” Amy ended.
“Alright, I will, don’t worry.” Looze acknowledged.
Just as they finish, both Amy and Looze went back to the second floor and headed towards Inspector James.
“What? So you know who the real culprit is?” Inspector James raised his eyebrows.
“Yes, if you don’t mind, gathered the 3 suspects to the living room and I shall deduce there.” Looze ordered.
As soon as everyone gathered at the living room, Looze began his reasoning.
“As everyone here knows, the culprit is right before us and is among those 3. I am pretty sure that the other detectives know who the real culprit really is. Am I wrong?” Looze began by asking.
All of them smiled and just glanced among those 3 suspects, knowing in their heart who is the real culprit.
“Let me start from the murder of Zen. The murderer for both Zen and Hong are different. This is because the one who murdered Zen was Hong. Hong managed to kill Zen one the way to his room to get the cards.” Looze started his deductions.
“While walking up to the second floor, Hong put on his glove on his right hand and took out the knife. Upon reaching Zen’s room, Hong knocked on the door. After Zen opened the door, Hong immediately used his right hand, which was holding on to the knife, to stab Zen right into his heart. But Zen managed to use struggle back, scratching Hong’s left hand, which is not wearing any glove. Coincidentally, Hong manage to scratch back Zen’s right hand.” Looze further added on.
“No wonder skin fragments were found on Zen’s right finger nails and Hong’s left finger nails.” Officer Violet finally understood.
“After the struggles, Hong pushed Zen down to the floor, leaving the knife still intact into the chest. After that he used his right hand to lock and close the door. This is why blood was found all over the door knob.” Looze deduced.
“Why use his right hand? He could have used his left hand right?” Tuan wondered aloud.
“That was because he was afraid of leaving fingerprints on the door knob.” Looze answered.
“That wouldn’t matter right? Hong could have claimed that he open the door from the outside to enter, and opened the door from the inside to leave the room.” Tuan insisted.
“The lock button… It was due to the lock button. He didn’t want to leave any fingerprints on the lock button. It would be weird if someone else’s fingerprints were found on the lock button when normally it would be the owner who locks the door.” Gregson answered for Looze.
“After that, he went back to take the cards, then appearing out like nothing had happened.” Looze continued.
“What about his gloves? Was it found anywhere?” Qin interrupted.
“Since his room is just 2 rooms away from the toilet, he could have easily flushed the glove down the toilet bowl anytime.” Steven replied.
“Right… The murder of Zen is now solved. Now we need to know the murder of Hong.” Inspector James noted the case into his notebook.
“Just as we were waiting for the results from the forensic team, the 4 other suspects were ordered to wait in their room. At this point of time, the culprit manages to enter Hong’s room and made him consume Potassium Cyanide. After that, hang the culprit up, went back to his room and pretend nothing had happened.” Looze started his second deduction.
“And that will be you! Mr Qin!” Looze snapped his fingers and pointed at Qin.
At that point, the detectives present smiled and gave a stern look at Qin. Marc and Tuan were shocked and did not believe what Looze had said.
“What? Me? Are you kidding me? How can it be me?” Qin denied.
“Don’t try to deny, of course it’s you. Who else could it be?” Souno voiced out.
“Do you have any evidence that can prove that I am the one?” Qin yelled.
“You claimed that at that point of time, you heard a loud thud. But, you forgot one more thing.” Raul laughed.
“What do you mean?” Qin was speechless.
“It was the scream of mine.” Amy smiled.
“That’s right. The loud thud sound was probably when Hong dropped to the floor after the effects of the Cyanide poison had taken place. After the dropped to the floor, he began groaning in pain. Due to the groan and also with the fact that you were anxious, the scream that was let out by Amy was unheard to you.” Looze explained.
“You call me the culprit base on that? Give me solid proof if you think I am the culprit!” Qin shouted.
“We found foot prints on the surface of the chair by the bed. You must have step on it while trying to hang Hong onto the rope. Normally, when we sit on the chair, we mostly wipe of all the prints that are present. But the foot prints that we found were clearly visible. If we were to compare it to yours, we will know exactly if you have killed Hong.” Looze presented the proof.
“It seems like I can’t hide it any much longer. It’s true that I killed Hong. But I’ve actually wanted to the both of them! Zen that bastard, not only he tried to borrow money from my girlfriend, he even managed to scam my parents 10 million dollars. My mum was shocked and even fainted. Now she’s in the hospital.” Qin clenched his fist hard.
“When I found out Zen was killed, I was relief as I didn’t have to kill 2 people. So I went ahead to kill Hong, who… FUCKING RAPE MY GIRLFRIEND! I couldn’t forgive him, and I will never forgive him. BOTH OF THEM DESERVE TO DIE!” Qin screamed as he fell onto his knees.
As the case was closed, Qin was being brought back to the police station. The other detectives left in their cars. As for Looze, he walked out to the road junction, hoping to be able to catch a cab. As he was waiting, an unexpected arrival came. A red Ferrari 612 Scaglietti came up towards him. Inside were Souno and Steven.
“Hey Looze! Heading back to Gallant City? I can give you a ride. Steven is heading back too.” Souno offered.
“Sure, thanks a lot!” Looze smiled.
As Looze sat in Souno’s car, he was reminded of what Amy Jules the FBI agent had told him. Is Amy telling the truth about the Red Faces? Can Looze trust Souno?
