📁Case File 6:
Why Do Mothers Kill?

I looked at my watch.

4:01 pm

Kailangan ko nang tapusin 'to just as I promised.

"Now, I will pick any of you to answer the next questions. The culprit will be awarded afterwards."

Everyone laughed.

Its not even a joke.

"Officer Ernst, what's with your tattoo? Bakit korona?"tanong ko sa kaniya and handed him the microphone to answer.

"Its all for the woman I love years ago. She's the queen of my life. " Sagot naman ni Ernst. , "See this at kung bakit upside down ang crown?"

"Why?"

"She left me for another guy na nakabuntis sa kaniya."

"Romantic." I turned to Officer Poe, "Kayo po? Why is it that its sunflower?"

He smiled proudly, "The sunflower symbolizes the sun. I love the sun. Yon lang."

Gotcha!

I touched my bangs, "Is the woman's name Jona?"

Namutla ang isa sa kanila. Without a word, I smiled at Ernst who stared at me with his pale face.

"Did you kill her son,Officer?"

"Huh? Ano bang pinagsasabi mo?" buwelta pa nito.

Napaatras silang lahat nang unti-unti akong lumapit kay Ernst na umaatras naman mula sa kaniyang posisyon.

"Did you kill a kid because of your jealousy?" usisa ko pa.

"M-Miss A-"

Nahagip ng aking mata ang pagbaba ng isa sa mga manlalaro ang kaniyang pantalon, covering the visible flower.

"Officer Johnny Poe," I touched my bangs, "you are under arrest for the murder of a 12 year old kid."

"Ano bang pinagsasabi mo, Miss A?" He took a step back, "Huwag mo naman akong paratangan na wala kang ebidensiya." He even faked a laugh.

Gosh, the way criminals deny their crimes gives me thrills.

"Oh, we have a witness and an evidence." I clicked my tongue, "Didn't you know? Police officers aren't allowed to have a tattoo that can be visible to the eyes of the crowd. Its either you'll be suspended or you did the tattoo after you become a part of the force."

"I had this tattoo after ako naging Police naman, ah. Ano bang pinagsasabi mo, Miss A?" natawa pa siya.

I smirked, "Oh, none of them have a tattoo except you, Officer Poe. A few ours ago, Inspector realized that there's only one person that got suspended because of a tattoo. And it was you, am I right?"

Napayuko siya.

"So, we planned and asked the other colleagues to play a role in this game so we can catch the real culprit." Dagdag ko pa, "But before that, let me tell you a story first."

"Miss A, nasobrahan ka na yata sa pagiging garbosa mo." Tumawa pa siya.

Not funny, bastard.

"Oh, hindi ka naniniwala sa kin na their tattoos aren't real? Pwes." I rolled my eyes and beckoned someone.

A staff entered with an alcohol in his hand, and one by one, the tattoos on each four people was erased.

Namutla ata siya.
