TWIN NUMBERS

Opening

A crowd of people surrounded a place near Taihu Lake in that early morning. There're people in police uniforms breaking through the crowd, evacuating a dead body that wraps inside a bag from a small building which seems like a hostel. The people from the neighborhood who purposely came to watch the incident spread away, giving way to the police who carried the bag, while they murmuring something with a terrify look in their eyes.

Inside the building, some of the police staff interrogating the occupants in the hostel while doing their investigation in the murder victim's room.

"No! He's a likable person. I don't think he has an enemy!" cried a college boy when an officer asked him about the victim.

"Do you remember the last time you saw him?" asked the officer again.

"Umm..." the boy rubbed his chin, tries to memorize.  "Yesterday morning!"

The officer who was focusing on his paper where he writes the people whom he interrogate lifting his face to the boy. HIs brows furrowed.

"Yesterday? Morning?" He repeated the boy's words.

"Yeah! He used to come home late at night, because he's taking a part time job in Jiangnan restaurant!" explained the boy.

"Where is it located?" asked the officer again.

"About 500 meters from the campus!" replied the boy.

"Where is the campus?"

"Jiangnan University."

"Which one? Meiyuan or Longshan?"

"Longshan."

"Did you know the last person he met when you saw him the last time?"

The boy shook his head.

"I only saw him went to the college in the morning. We supposed to great each other. That's it. And he left."

"Where were you when the incident happened?"

"In my room. I went to my room at about 9 PM. And after that, I never come out of the room already...!"

The officer heaved  sigh. He turned his gaze to the boy and he pursed his lips into a thin line.

"Thanks, Kid! If you have any information, please inform us immediately...!"

Thre boy nodded. Then the officer walked to the other corner. He  stood near the door that connecting that big room with the kitchen.

"Any information?" A man came approaching him.

The officer turned to the man. He showed the notebook he used to write the witness' testify to that officer.

"Not help much!" commented the officer.

"We'll get it later. Trust me!" said the man slapping his frined's back.

"The last time I trust you,I lost 1000 on a bet...!" the officer rolled his eyes.

The man chuckled.

"Let's go! We need a cup of coffee and dhou sha pao!"

"I don't like dhou sha...!" the officer grumbled.

"You can take the meat one...!" he slapped the officer's back again. Then he walked first before his friend, leaving the building which is a crime scene.
