THIRD PERSON'S POV
A Few Days Ago
Everyone was working hard and there was a hectic vibe throughout the police department. Most of the police were making arrests, conducting investigations, and filling out a lot of paperwork. Every area of the floors was incredibly noisy. Masasabi na sobrang chaotic at magulo ang nasa loob.
Doon may lalaking kakarating lamang mula sa lakad. Halata sa mukha ang pagod nito dahil matamlay ang mga mata at mukha. Pagpasok niya sa loob ay hindi pinansin ang ingay ng kanyang mga katrabaho. He moves casually past them. Due to the recent rise in crime, he cast his look around as he passed and observed that the majority of police officers were at work.
The man walked inside an office without knocking and into an utterly silent room after turning the doorknob. Unlike the outside, the room was tidy and well-organized inside. He briefly wandered his eyes before stopping to look at a young man soundly dozing on the couch.
Before approaching the young man, he sighed.
“Kean” he called his name.
Sa una ay hindi pa ito nakinig kaya't ilang beses niya itong inayog bago nagising na talaga.
“Bumangon kana diyan” saad niya
Unti-unting inimulat niya ang kanyang mga mata, noong nakita niya ang lalaking nakatingin sa kanya ay ngumiti siya.
“Good evening, Uncle” he greeted.
Bumangon naman ang binata mula sa pagkahiga habang umupo naman sa kanyang swivel chair ang Uncle. He stretched out his arms and yawned loudly.
“Glad you came” his Uncle commented.
“Sobrang aga ko nga nakapunta dito. Akala ko aabot ako dito ng Pasko kakahintay sa'yo” sarkastikong sabi niya.
“You already saw the interrogation videos right? Let's just hear your thoughts on who killed Marcellus Rastelli”
Kean's face went serious and he sat properly on the couch. “Can I ask why it was declared as suicide?”
“We found a suicide note in his phone. It was an hour before he was allegedly jumped off the rooftop of the Art Gallery. But we still suspect there’s something more behind it so we secretly investigated this case to uncover something and his family agreed about it” the Uncle explained.
He took a deep breath before he continued. “It was evident that his death was the result of a rooftop fall. He drops at exactly midnight and dies as a result. Both the workers and guests witnessed the occurrence. We performed an autopsy and unexpectedly discovered several scars and recent wounds on his arms, suggesting that he may have caused them himself before he entered the Gallery since when we searched througly, there were no parts in the place that has a lot of blood that resulted from it. Also, we found some traces of sleeping pills on him. Furthermore, a strangely carved roman numeral for thirteen was discovered on his wrist.”
