Detective Series 1 : Apple of the Eye (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twelve : Painful Past

Chapter Twelve : Painful Past

Seinah's POV

     Apple. Apple. Apple.

     Mula ata pagtulog hanggang paggising ay yan ang laman ng isip ko, hindi ko mapigilang magalala para sa mga biktima, considering na may tatlo nang nawawalang estudyante na halos pare-pareho ang pangalan, I guess the 'Apple Killings' has started.

     After our trip to the apple farm, nag imbestiga naman kami sa ibang mga lugar. Because limited na ang time namin, naghiwa-hiwalay kami at merong kanya-kanyang task na gagawin, which is successful I must say. Now, we're on our way back to the city. It's only 12 midnight nang umalis kami at mag iisang oras na kami sa byahe. Nag presinta akong magdrive dahil hindi pa naman ako inaantok, gaya ng una ay si Neon at Shien ang kasama ko sa kotse, natutulog sila sa likuran. Habang nagdra-drive ay napaisip ako sa mga inpormasyong nakalap namin kanina.

     First, my task, which is visiting the first victim's family. Gaya ng sinabi ni aling Dema ay walang person of interest at motibo silang maisip para gawin iyon sa biktima, except for one; the mysterious apple of the eye of the victim. She was last seen leaving her house on her way to the mall. She's on her way to meet this mysterious guy, pero walang sinabing pangalan ang biktima, ayon kay aling Dema at sa mga magulang nito, 'Apple' ang tawag ng biktima sa lalaki, is it a coincidence na 'Apple' ang tawag nito sa lalaki? I don't think so. September 01 nang mawala ang biktima, she was last seen by CCTV footages entering the mall- according to the police reports. September 07, her corpse was found under a tree in the roadside, unluckily, walang CCTV sa paligid, she was sitting under the tree, she was wearing the same dress, her dress was clean, pero sya ay hindi, puno ng pasa, hiwa, at ligature marks ang iba't ibang bahagi ng katawan nito, gupit gupit ang buhok, ayon sa report, poison ang nakamatay sa kanya, aside from wounds, bruises, na natamo nya, she was raped, multiple times, pero walang DNA na nakuha, ang isa pang weird ay ang iba sa mga sugat nya ay ginamot, papagaling na nga ang iba, puno din ng alcohol ang katawan nya, para bang nilinis masyado.

     Next tasks, let's say it's Shien and Seth's task, is to interview the second and third victim's family. The second victim, vanished in a camp site. September 03, the victim ask her older brother to drop her off in a camp site, with her classmates and friends, with her parents' consent, her brother drop her off at the camp site after lunch. Pero kinabukasan, nawala na ang biktima ng parang bula, no trace. Walang paalam, walang kahit anong trace na naiwan, maliban nalang sa isa, the victim was caught in the CCTV camera entering a taxi on the opposite side of the camp, sa kabilang bahagi kasi ng camp ay may gubat, although it's off limits, they believe na doon dumaan paalis sa camp site ang biktima. Seven days later, she was found dead beside the lake, like the first victim, she was violated physically, wearing the same clothes, bathing in alcohol, and full of wounds, cuts, ang bruises. On the third victim, went missing September 05, medyo unusual, the victim is with her younger sibling when it happen, they are on their way home from a mall, the victim is with her ten year old younger sister, and the victim was sixteen years old, then someone fetch them, according to the CCTV footages, ayon sa kapatid ng biktima na kasama nito, isang gwapong lalaki ang sumundo sa kanila, nakatulog daw ito sa kalagitnaan ng byahe at paggising nya ay nasa ospital na siya, ayon naman sa ospital ay may isang lalaki ang nagdala sa bata sa ospital, pero naglaho na raw ito matapos ibilin sa kanila, nag match ang description ng staffs ng ospital at ng bata sa itsura ng lalaki, kaso ay na identify na baka nag make up or something lang ang lalaki dahil ang mukha nito ay base sa isang male model na nasa ibang bansa. Ayon naman sa test na isinagawa sa bata, she fall asleep because of chloroform, assumed na ang hangin sa loob ng sasakyan ang dahilan kung bakit nawalan ng malay ang bata. According to the victims social media account, she has a boyfriend, iyon ang sumundo sa kanila, ayon sa chats, but the account is untraceable already, fake account din ang ginamit. Seven days later, the victim was found sitting inside a car na naka park sa gilid ng kalsada, same car na ginamit sa pagsundo, same clothes, violated, full of wounds and bruises, gaya ng ibang biktima, there's no CCTV around the area, kaya back to zero.
