Detectives

Chapter 2: Case II

~~~
Ersan's POV

"Since wala yung lethal weapon sa inyo, you may now go. I think the killer is not here anymore" sabi ni Mr. Soliven.

"Wait a minute" I said. "The killer is here, and it's one of you"

"What the heck are you talking about? Wala nga yung weapon sa amin eh, and you have no evidence!" sabi ni Pauline.

"Look at the dying message, may nakasulat na 'PAN' sa tabi ng bangkay, and it represents one of you"

"PAN? Does it mean si Pauline yung killer? PAN is the initial letters of Pauline Arabel Nichols" dagdag ni Isabel.

"Nope." sabi ko. "If you take a look at the message carefully, makikita mong may nakasulat doon after PAN"

"Robin," order ni Mr. Soliven.

"Yes sir" sagot ni Robin and tinignan niya yung dying message nang mas malapit.

"Sir. May nakasaulat na 'DA' after 'PAN' " sabi niya.

"Yes, ang original na nakasulat doon is PANDA, pero dahil nagmamadali kanina ang mga police officers, nabura nila kunti ang 'DA'" sabi ko.

"And what does it mean?" tanong ni Andrew.

"Good Question. Alam niyo ba ano ang kulay ng panda?" Sabi ko.

"Black and white, duh" sabi ni Pauline. Aba teh ang taray.

"Yes, it is black and white, and ang blood is kulay pula. Do you think it resembles something?" sabi ko.

"Police." sabi ni Sophia. "The car, black and white siya, and yung red is the car light" nagsmile si Sophia sa akin pagkatapos niyang sinabi yun.

"Police? So it means..." Hindi tinuloy ni Mr. Soliven yung sasabihin niya.

"Yes, the killer is you, Isabel Janine Ko" sabi ko habang nakaturo sa kanya.

"Wh-what are you saying? You have no evidence, and wala nga sa akin yung lethal weapon and I don't even have time to hide it" she retorted.

"You want evidence? Sure" lumapit ako sa kanya.

"What is this blood stain on your hair?" sabi ko. Biglang umiba yung facial expression niya.

"Linagyan mo ng extension yung buhok mo, then pumasok ka sa bahay ng victim. After that, tinanggal mo extension mo and ginamit mo iyan pangsakal. Pagkatapos mo siyang pinatay, inattach mo ulit yung extension sa buhok mo, and the blood can't be easily seen because red ang kulay ng hair mo." I added. "If you want more evidence, pwede nating ipa DNA yung blood stain diyan sa buhok mo to make sure galing yan sa victim."

Bumagsak si Isabel at umupo siya sa sahig.

"Si-siya yung may mali, porket siya yung police head ko dati at naging boyfriend ko yung crush niya, nafire na niya ako. At dahil sa kanya, hindi ako tinaggap ng iba pang police departments. Namatay nanay ko dahil sa heart attack kasi nafire ako. Siya! Siya yung dahilan ng lahat!" sigaw ni Isabel habang umiiyak.

"Wala bang kasalanan yung nagpapatay?" sagot ni Sophia sa kanya. "Hindi ka naman talaga qualified na maging isang police eh. Police doesn't kill people, they only protect people!"

Tumingin si Isabel sa kanya at umiyak ng mas malakas.

"Thank you Ersan and Sophia, you helped us again."

"No problem!" sabay naming sinabi.

Pagbalik ko sa bahay, chineck ko yung mailbox namin. May nakita akong isang letter, pero hindi yun commission letter. It's an invitation.

Dinala ko yung letter sa room ko and binuksan ko.
