HELL

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

There are a lot of crimes happening in the world today. It's like they're just one step away from legalizing murder, rape, assault, and all that fucked-up shit. Our world is overflowing with criminals, and sometimes I can't help but wonder, what if everyone was a criminal? Probably no fucking life would be left on this godforsaken planet.

But if you ask me, I'd say that everyone is a criminal to some extent due to the violations of the law, even if they are unaware that their actions constitute a crime. Take, for example, taking something without permission or sneaking a few coins from your mother's wallet. These seemingly small acts are still considered criminal offenses.

I leaned forward, resting both of my hands on the sink, and splashed my face with the chilling water in the bathroom near the crime scene I was investigating. It wasn't that I was disgusted, but the murder was undeniably brutal.

Napabuntong-hininga na lang muli ako nang mahimasmasan ako dahil sa malamig na tubig na ihinilamos ko. For Godsake, as a detective like me, of course, we also need to take a break, kahit pa 5 minutes pa 'yan ay napaka-importante na sa amin niyan at malaking tulong na rin para ma-process nang maayos ang kasong iimbestigahan namin.

"Grabe! Ang brutal naman ng pagkamatay niya," komento ng kaibigan kong rookie, police officer na si Raye Maximous. Aside from being alliance, he's also one of my closest friends, someone I truly trust and confide in.

"Did you call the forensics?" I asked. I saw him nodded in my peripheral vision, kahit na ang mga tingin ko ay nasa walang buhay na biktimang babae na dahan-dahang inililipat sa mortuary stretcher

"Parang walang kaluluwa na 'yung gumawa ng ganiyang krimen, kinakaya ng konsensya nila 'yon?" komento niya pa.

The actual tragedy, in my opinion, is not so much the act itself as it is the mental and emotional anguish that pushes someone to such extremities. The elements that lead to such heinous murders are a lack of empathy, a warped sense of justice, and a deep-seated animosity.ㅤ

Masiyado na silang nakain ng galit o paghihiganti nila kaya't nakayanan nilang gumawa ng ganitong krimen. I can't say if I can do the same if I were in their shoes.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

"Get back to work, baka hinahanap ka na rin ni chief Novie," while the corpse laid lifelessly upon the stretcher, I placed my left arm upon his shoulder to direct us forward to move towards our necessary duties and submit our report.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
I had the pleasure of getting to know our chief Novie, who was well-known within our department for his severe demeanor and his insistence on thoroughly investigating every case before letting it go. Almost all of the situations that were reported to us were genuinely committed to and assiduously worked on. I was genuinely impressed by chief Novie's guts and determination to accept accountability for everything under his supervision.

Despite the numerous cases we have resolved, I have lost track of their count at this point, it's either 38? 40? 45? I literally have no idea. Siguro dahil na rin sa mga halo-halong problema na nangyayari sa society namin. Too complicated, I don't even know how to explain, walang araw na walang report ang isina-submit sa amin o sa ibang department. Oras-oras, o minu-minuto ay dapat palagi kang active and willing to take your possibilities, as a detective, or police officer pa man.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
