The dead body of a bald naked boy was all tied up lying in front of the king-sized bed.
"Who could do something like that?", Sergeant Peter said. Everyone was shocked to see the gruesome sight.
The naked body was covered with cut marks, the eyes of the boy were opened as if waiting for someone to be rescued. No one would have thought that something like this could ever happen in their peaceful town. It is not like that they have never seen dead bodies, of course, their peaceful town has had its fair share of problems. But this one is totally different. There was only one word to describe it 'evil'.
"That is what we are going to find," Elena said with a determined voice. I am going to find who did this to you boy I promise you.
With that said they get to work, thoroughly checking everything and collecting evidence, taking pictures.
They were all present in the briefing room,
"The boy's name is Alex Ray. He just turned 18 years old one week before. He died approximately eight to nine hours before at almost 3:00 to 4:00 a.m. The cuts are from a blade, according to the forensics it looks like the cut was made just for pleasure. According to the crime analyst, it looks like whoever the murderer is he or she likes to play with the victim. His death is due to a drug that was injected in his heart directly blocking his airways, it would have taken him almost 30 minutes to die with excruciating pain. But there is no DNA sample. Other than the victim's blood nothing else was found. It looks as if the murderer has erased every trace of his presence. " Sergeant Edward was briefing his chief and team members.
"Have you checked for the CCTV near the area?" asked the Chief Inspector, Mr Herald.
"Yes Sir, there were two CCTV cameras near the house, one was covering the left side of the street and other was covering for the right side. We have got the footage of that day and the previous whole week. But the strange thing is that there is no sign of any suspicious activity. Not even the video of the boy entering the house." Sergeant Peter replied instead.
"What about the house? Who does it belong to? Have you called in the owner? He is the prime suspect." Mr Herald said.
"That's the thing, Sir, the owner does not live here, he lives in Canada with his family. He's been living there for the past ten years." Sergeant Choi said. "The house is empty. They have a caretaker who comes once a week to clean the house. He was the first one to inform the police. According to him, he cleaned the house every Saturday, when he came for his duty he saw it."
"Have you informed the boy's parents?" the chief inspector asked.
"Yes, sir. We have. They will be coming shortly for questioning," said Sargent Peter.
This whole time Elena was just staring at the projector screen in front of her which has the victim's pictures and the photos of the crime scene. Her mind was all hazed with questions. Why? who? why did the boy went there? It didn't look like the boy had any connection with the house and the house owner. These thoughts were continuously coming in her mind. But the thing was, that she has this strong feeling that this is not as simple as it seems. There is something off about this whole case. She had this ugly feeling in her stomach that this is just a beginning of something really horrendous. But she cannot pinpoint why exactly was she feeling this way.
"Keep an eye for the caretaker, as we cannot hold him for long just make sure that you follow his each and every movement. And find out everything about the house owner, his past life and friends and connection with the boy or the boy's parents. I am counting on you guys. This case has already been highlighted in the media. We should close this case as soon as possible," Mr Herald instructed and left.
"What are you thinking Ms Wordsworth? Is something wrong?" Edward said waving his hands in front of Elena who was deep in thought that she didn't even realize that the meeting was already over.
"Ah, nothing," sighed Elena, "It's just I have this feeling that there is something wrong about this case." Over the years they all have gotten close to talk about there mind with each other easily. Though Elena was a reserved person, her kind behavior and her on-duty determination have earned her their respect. The two Sergeant equally respected their senior in rank as well.
"We will soon found out, right now let's go to the interrogation room, Alex's parents have arrived," said Edward gently tugging the hem of Elena's sleeve.

It was a circular room, the room had wall to wall cupboard with shelves. The black-hooded man took out the embroidered red pouch from his backpack and then he put it in one of the shelves. He placed the bag on the other side of the cupboard and went towards the door. He turned back and smiled, his half face covered with the hood, and then went away closing the door behind him.

At that moment, through the small light coming from the door, the golden embroidery on red pouches shined revealing a whole bunch of them stored in the shelves neatly. There were almost twenty-five of those same red pouches.
