Who's The Murderer?

C-02

“..Hints are everywhere..”
   
  
  
  
  

After the suffocating atmosphere that last for an hour Mr. Ohayo came at last.
  
  
“Why took you so long?..” I whispered and look around.
  
 
He sighed and take a sit.
  
 
“I was fired...just now...” he look around but I can clearly see his tears.
  
 
It took a second for.me to understand what he's sayin'. “WHAT?--” I quickly slam the table and stand.
  
  
The people started again to look at me. He tap my hand because of embarassment. The people starts murmuring again.
   

I hid my face with my own two hands and my face starts burning. “here we go again..”I said.
  

“Why the people saying you are no shame? and why did they keep staring at us-”He keep asking question so I covered his mouth. “SHH!”.
  

“Unfornately, I encountered a mysterious girl with a mssk and sunglasses on and the people start to tell some stuff that I am bad and have no manners!” I complain.
   

A middle-aged woman appeared right in-front of our table and looked directly to my eyes. “Such a beautiful face yet disgusting attitude”
    

and she walk-out like nothing happen.
  

I look at Mr. Ohayo. “..See?..” I hid my face by borrowing Mr. Ohayo's Hoodie.
   

He look around and pointed out the girl. “HER?” he asked.
 

I nodded.
  

“From what I've heard she was popular because of her eyes.” and Ohayo point his two eyes. “but.. Someone ruined her apperance” we looked at her serving food to others.
  

“They said she really loved her face because it resembles her dead Mother and she can see her to herself everyday by looking at the Mirror.. Until someone ruined it.” he looked uncomfortable so I had to change the topic.
  

“I get it now.. But why did they fired you? Did you do something they didn't like?” I asked.
  

He look away. “I didn't do anything but that's fine.. and also! Before I forget.. I have to handle this Case for you..”he handed me a brown enveloped amd has a named on it.
  
 

     

'Confidential'
   
 

 

I look at him. For real? It took minutes for me to get what Case is it and realized..
  
 

 

“I can't accept that..” I said what I said. It's not just I can't do it....
    
 

 

He hold my hand. “..You can..why are you so scared opening this Case again?-”
  
 

 

“then why are entrusting me to do this Case?”I ask directly.
  
 

 

This case happened a decade ago and the Killer still might be alive. If we re-open this. It will make a big fuss or maybe start Killing again.
  

I moved away his hand and look at him directly. “We can't”
  

He look disappointed but I don't care.
  

“We can't risk our life to re-open this-”
     

He cut me off and stand.
  
 

 

“You are scared, aren't you?”he look down on me. That hurts my pride as a detective.
  
 

  

I stand as well and face him confidently. “I can't risk the life of my team as well as the people here.”
   
 

 

In this kind of situation, my life isn't important but the life within my side.
  

“If you are this confident, why don't you re-open this on your own? You were good as me bro... If we can back what we are before.. We can.”I still haven't eat my food but these kind of arguments ruining my appetite. 
   

The foods is now on the Table but we both didn't want to eat anymore.
  

“This was supposed to be my Celebration Day.. but you also ruin it.” I stand and walk towards to the woman with the face on. “Miss, here's my pay and also my tip for you. I apologized for invading your privacy it's just..” and giveher my I.D. so she can check it herself.
   

“Detective..Gaze..?”she asked. Such a small voice.
  

I look away and nodded. “I don't have much time left. I have to go. Here's my number incase someone is bothering you. I can handle them. Just call me.” and give her my personal calling card.
   

I walk back to Mr. Ohayo and vowed before leaving. It's a sign of respect. I still respect him even he did that. I guess that he really wanted to re-open that but things were different now.
   

The Killer is somewhere within our place and maybe he's still observing what we do regarding to the Case.
  

It's already year 201 after Mr. Rodrigoz died, the killing stopped for no reason.
  

We've lost a lot of subordinate that time. They've found dead along with their families. I suspected that they also encountered the Murderer so they also have to die too.
   

The killing is still unreasonable, he kill what he wants. No age matter. Even a day old baby. He won't care.
   

He will never ever.. be felt the guilt of killing someone.
   

Since my House isn't near and also I am driving a car.
   

I got home and saw a huge picture of team.. We were happy that time and just like the other newcomer.. I was only doing my job in the shadow. I was never been highlighted before.
   

I was just like any other people or subordinate who really like their Captain.
  

And Mr. Ohayo was also a part of that.
   

He was also my subordinate and also my friend and a family to me.
   

Our team was the one who's in-charge of the Case that time and it was...
   

Hell..
  
  
  
It hurts when I remember that my subordinate died...
   
  
  
One by one.
