"So Francis, did you interview some people?" Louis looked at me then checks his notes

"Yeah, I am able to get some information from his neighbors. I never got to ask his cousins or other people connected to him, because he was an introvert and an only child." I replied

"That would be still useful, Kyla, what did you get?" he looked at Kyla and sips his latte.

" William dies because of a crack on his skull." Kyla touches her skull

"I got it. I just find a hammer used in the scene." Louis takes out his phone from his pocket and shows as the hammer. As I went closer to see the photo, I got goose bumps, it was eerie.

"I see, that is a pretty brutal way to murder someone." Kyla took a sandwich then she continues to read her notes.

"But, his skin was burned."

"Burned?" Both Louis and I looked at her

"Yes, I saw his body, and his hair was all burnt up, his right hand was also slit."

"I see" Louis sighed

"Have you already found why?" I ate the chocolate bar

"It seems like. Well, William was asleep before the incident happened right? When the suspect went in using the window on the kitchen area, William woke up because of his instinct telling him so, it was dark so when he stood up from his bed, his feet got tangled by his blanket, making the loud noise the old woman heard from room 51, am I right Francis?" Louise looked at me

"That do make sense, the second thud she heard was from room 54 on the 4th floor." I replied

"Well, let's clean this up, and witness it together shall we?" Louise stood up while brushing the dirt away from his buttocks. We three cleaned our picnic area and went to the police station first.

"Can I see one of your CCTV's sir?" Kyla asked

"Hmmm, no funny business okay?" all three of us nods "Follow me."

"Louis, why did you suddenly want to see the CCTV's, when William's apartment doesn't have one?" I asked looking at him

"That's not what I'm looking for." Louis loos straight ahead the hallway following Kyla and the officer

"Here it is, tell me if something is wrong okay?" the police officer opened the room and left. As we went in the room, it was filled of screens.

"What are you going to do Louis? If we're going to check his apartment's surveillance camera, then we should've go there

"What are you going to do Louis? If we're going to check his apartment's surveillance camera, then we should've go there." Kyla crosses her arms

"That's not what I'm looking for" Louis looks into the screens.

That's the same thing you said before, Louis...

"Bingo." Louis clicks the mouse

"What did you find?" Me and Kyla went closer to see

"That's near our school isn't it?" I pointed on the screen

"That's the opposite, that building over there is the gym, and that is the central tower in our city." Louis replied

Then we watched the clip from July 6, 5 pm, the day before his death. William goes out from school using the back gate which is unnecessary, then he went in his car from the garage and drives to his left, we then looked at the other screen which is the continuous route William goes, he parked on the pavements and orders some coffee then he brings out his laptop and is typing something. He then leaves and goes to his apartment.

"That means..." I scratched my neck trying to think

"That means, when you turn right, his apartment would be right there." Kyla sighed

"If we're going to catch the suspect, then we must form a hypothesis, and when we can uncover more information, we will then need help from the police to catch him." Louis sits on the chair

"How are we  going to do that?" Kyla asks

"We're going to the café he went in to, and checks everything on it's surroundings." Louis smirked

Wednesday

Riing! Riing!

"What?"

"Louis, me and Kyla are, where are you?" I shouted on the phone

"Yeah, just wait I'm coming." he replied

"Well come here quickly." I hung up the phone and just after I put my phone in my pocket I see Louis walking towards here.

"! Louis, your cheek..."

"Oh, this? This is nothing

"Oh, this? This is nothing." Louis touches his cheek and walks along

"Really, you seem to got into a fight." Kyla was worried

"Forget it, we need to go in" he shoves us in the café and starts ordering something. We sat on the table where William did. He then took a sip on his latte and goes around the café,

"Louis, what are you doing?" I asked him

"Shhh" he looks everywhere 

"Bingo."

"What is it?"

What we all saw is a hidden camera in the lamp post near our table facing us

What we all saw is a hidden camera in the lamp post near our table facing us. Louis took the camera and destroyed it to the ground.

"So that means...." 

"Someone saw William here, it may be a random person or it may be planned, someone has spied William Tolkien." Louis said while trembling

"This is the worst case scenario, they saw US."
