The forensics have examined all the bodies. They were all killed in the same way, Alex and John had been killed.
The commissioner had called a meeting. All the officials were in the meeting room, including Elena and her team. Her hunch was right. It really was a serial murder case.
This was what had kept nagging at the back of her mind. She had briefed her superiors about the case. They were all shocked. This type of thing was something relatively new. Serial killing have been mostly heard in movies. But this was no movie, it was reality; a very harsh and bitter reality.
With the agreement of others the commissioner made a task force, comprising Elena and her team. They were given a sub unit to help in the investigation. They were also given special status that deemed them to question anyone without warrant. To some extent if it is important, then they were given permission to raid any house to catch the culprit.
The police was very discreet about the findings. They didn't let anything out to the media.

Elena was standing in front of the board, marker in her hand. She was going to create a time line. The forensics had guessed the approximated time of death. The first body that they found was the oldest. He was killed almost six years ago. She started to arranged the photographs accordingly.
After almost half an hour, she was able to get the time line. According to which almost four murders have been committed each year since the past six years.
How come no one find out about it? was the biggest question roaming in their minds. Unless someone deliberately tried to hide it. Thought Elena.
She took her phone and dialed the chief's number, "The number you are trying to call is not reachable at the moment. Please try later" She felt her blood boil, hearing the operator's voice.
She wanted some answers and the only person who could gave them was unreachable.
"okay, so do this. Edward and Peter check the police data for missing persons DNA and match it with the bodies." she said and the two Sargent nodded, and began to do their work.

Somewhere a man was walking in an abandon tunnel. From a dumpster at the end of the closed tunnel, he took out a black hoodie, it was covered with blood. He quickly grabbed a bottle of kerosene oil from a broken shelf put beside the tunnel wall. He poured the liquid in the dumpster and match the light. Soon, a burning stench filled the tunnel. The man stood there, watching the growing flames for a while, then turned around and left.
