Case 6: The Horrifying
Admirers (The Continuation
of Investigation With Who?
Chapter, Part Four)
ROSALINDA
I TAKE A look upon the cards that are stuck on the wall, it's the same cards. There's a sleeping child on the bed of all the card's art, nakangiti ang batang lalaki habang natutulog, nakasulat sa ibaba na sweet dreams. The background of the card is like he's in space, it's very dreamy art with a variety of pastels colors, but the key colors of the cards are blue and lilac. Mala-tarot ang pagkakagawa ng card, but it's still obviously seeing the difference from this card to tarot cards.
Sinipatan ko muli ng tingin si Ajax, na ngayo'y hawak-hawak na ang isang baraha. Seryoso itong nakatitig dito, later on he crumbled the paper and threw it on the floor. Nagbabagang ang baba nito saka naglalakad patungo sa mesa. Ipinatong niya ang nakakumo noyang mga kamay sa mesa, kapansin-pansin ang nagbabaga niyang bibig. This is my second time seeing him like this. Seeing him furious.
I wonder why.
"What's wrong?" Pagputol ko sa katahimikan ng silid.
Hindi ito nagsalita, nanatili itong nakatitig sa kawalan. Para bang nilalamon siya ng kaniyang iniisip, isama mo pa ang lumiliyab nitong galit. Hindi ko na siya pinilit na sagutin ako, saka naglalakad na palabas ng silid. I hurriedly took my phone as I walked on the silent corridor.
I called Clark, and finally he answered. "Hm, Rosalinda. Is there something wrong? Napatawag ka?" Bungad niya.
"About the letter, you said you find it over the table right?" I asked, trying to make my voice clear but still in a low tone of voice.
"Yes." Diretso niyabg tugon.
"I've heard from Mr. Ivaldez, you are the one who is in charge of opening and closing the clubroom, by all means the key is with you," I went on. "Kaninang umaga mo lang nakita ang liham, hindi ba?"
"Oo, kaninang umaga lang. Gulat nga ako dahil paano niya na-ilagay ang liham doon sa mesa. I locked the door before I left at the clubroom yesterday, I'm very sure about it. So, there's no way she could let in. Wala pa 'yung letter kahapon, I check all of the things before I left in case something moved or things that vanished in their respective places. So far, as I observed these past few weeks I haven't seen anything suspicious or been changed or removed, but that letter of course." Mahaba-haba niyang salaysay. Naririnig ko pa mula sa background na may naguusap, they sound very authoritative.
"Is that the first time it happened?"
"No, I'm sure it's already happened four times. I still can't comprehend how she got in just to put her letters," he continued. "It's very impossible she uses a lock-picking, the tools that she used supposedly left subtle or obvious scratches or marks on the doorknob or inside of the key hole. The doorknob is tough and very hard to open even though it uses the right key. By all means any type of pin will fail to open the door, duplicate key can also be the use of this case. However, it's still futile, we have a lock that has additional security features in order to prevent unauthorized duplication of keys. Kicking the door is not also the logical answer, the door is thick and heavy, I am not sure what the weight of the door is but it is impossible for someone to get in. The doorjamb is metal not wood, so it's not easier to kick it."
"But, it could be that the person who is sending the letters might be an expert on using lock-picking skills," I protest. "What if that person is very skilled by doing so, and left without any traces?"
"You're right, that's what I am thinking."
"Also, what if the person is already inside of the room. Did you check all of the rooms and places that could be hidden by the suspect?" I asked.
