The flash came from the DSLR camera held by Krist.He captured a few photos of Drake's dead body as he took a closer look on the rotting corpse in front of him.He held a note pad alongside with a trusty pen as he took notes of the whole scene.Honestly he has prepared because whatever he saw right now was so grotesque that it made his stomach churned in disgust.

Quickly,after inspecting the body,he wrote down anything that could possibly lead towards the culprit,but nothing really caught his attention till he spotted something at the corner of the room.

It' s a beanie.He didnt knew if it belong to Drake or not because he never saw Drake in beanie before.The beanie was completely stained in a rich and crimson color of blood.Thinking about it,it was rather peculiar for something like this to be covered in blood easily.

If the killer had been wearing a beanie during the time of the murder,he would has been extra careful and brought it with him,instead of leaving it behind,But,why it be bloody if the killer was wearing it?There's a gap between his head and where the corpse was found,so that definitely is not it.

And if it really belonged to the killer and he wasnt wearing it at all when the murder took place,how could the beanie covered in blood.To clean the blood stains?Then,he should have use a larger fabric to wipe the blood off.If he really was this smart and witty,he would have thought of that .Was this beanie a red herring ? Or the killer decided to leave evidence because he was bored of the long wait.

'That beanie is apart of our gym clothing'

Krist turned around and raised a brow at the figure in front of him.'Joy.where have you been?

'Nah,nowhere.Im always here.It just that you,Singto and the Polca Bii are too busy with your investigation that you ignore my presence.By the way,what the principal told you?'Joy asked as she knelt down closer to where the corpse was.

'The police and the principal asked a few questions and of course they cant accused me because i wasnt there when this happened'Krist answered,watching Joy who already put on gloves before touching the dead body in front of her.

'Diao! Khun,Tham arai ?(Wait,what are you doing)'

'This body doesnt has any clues that could lead us to the idea that he had struggle before dying.Was he willing to offer his life to the culprit or this fucking culprit is into some weird human offering shit because if he do that's really fucked up'Joy stood up,taking off the gloves and now she was facing Krist.

'woah,i never know you noticed about this.I thought you tried to stay away from these and just focus on your cheerleading practices.'Krist teased Joy who rolled her eyes upon hearing that statement for how many times already before she decided to come and help with the investigation.

'Cut the crap.My father keeps bothering me about this particular case just because Im the classmates of the both victims.Besides,i feel pity for Singto.He blamed himself for being too reluctant about the prediction.And he was worried about you too.You better see him now.'

'Huh,he worried about me?'Krist asked once again as he cant believe what he just heard about that stubborn Singto was actually worried about him.

'Yes.We better see him now-'

'Good evening,Krist.'A good-looking policeman greeted krist.

'Oh,P'Lee.Finally you are here.'Krist wai-ed at the man.

'We gotta bring this body for autopsy and I'll update you on everything later.'By that,the corpse was wrapped in black cadaver and was carried away by the other two policemen.

-8:00 pm,

They all gathered at OffGun's room to discuss about both cases.They knew they have to be more serious with this investigation as it really seem like the culprit has planned everything from A to Z.A spree killing is happening in their school. The parents were all worried about their kids' safety.Some students from other classes even has moved to another school because they were afraid that they would be the next target of the cruel killer.

'Let's have a drink after this.'Off broke the silence.

'Let's go to P'Toptap bar.I heard   P'Tharn and his band is performing tonight.I wanna see them.'Joy exclaimed.

'That's a good idea.'New clapped happily like a kid which then got a slap on his arm by Tay.

'We gotta talk about the cases first.Focus everyone.'Tay said.'Gun,tell me everything you know.'

'Ehem.'Gun cleared his throat.'So Frank,before dying was tied and beatenup with something,maybe a stick which caused the bruises on his body.I concluded that the cut on his throat caused his death because he lost a lot of blood.'

'Interestingly..'Krist took out a brown-colored envelope from his bag and passed it to Off.Off read the letter and his eyes widened with shock.

'What's written there?'Singto being the curious cat snatched the letter and his eyes fixated on one word.'Frank died b-because of o-overdose.'Singto stammered.

'Ha?!'Gun cant believe what he just heard.

'There's a presence of drug in his body when the police did a post mortem and it is confirmed that he died because of overdose.'Krist said.

'What type of drug?Barbiturate,opiate..or marijuana?'Joy listed all types of drug that she knew but Krist shook his head.

' Molly is a drug made up of cocaine, crack, ecstasy, meth & bath salt. It slows your heart rate 10x the normal limit & reeks [sic] havoc on your immune system with just one pill. Take two & it damages your brain without you even being able realize it. It becomes an addiction & soon a cry for help. By the fifth one you take, it starts killing your organs & preventing them from functioning as normal. It increases your chance of stroke & heart attack and can cause your lungs to stop functioning all together! And unfortunately i think Frank had it more that five pills.'Krist explained.

'Damn,that sucks.I believe Frank is not a crazy drug addict.It must be the killer who did this.Now,let's move on  to Drake's case.'.Tay's voice sounded stern.'What the fuck happened to him?He dropped from the Golden programme yesterday and today he was killed and you know this made me think our classmate did this.'Tay brushed off his hair,pulling a pained expression.

'what made you think so?We are all in good term with Drake.Our classmates wont do such a thing.'Gun patted Tay's back slowly.

'Drake was found in Krist's room which made him a part of the suspect but this beanie goes to prove his innocence.'Joy added as took out her phone and showed a picture of a stained beanie.'Beanies will only be given to us if we sign up as the gym members and we all know Krist havent sign up for this yet.He's the new kid by the way.So now you think this is owned by Drake..nope.I already asked Bright and Win about this and they said Drake's beanie has different design.His beanie was custom made.So,clearly this belong to the culprit.'

'Good job,Joy.I know you are reliable.So the culprit is one of the gym member.Then,we have to get the name list of the members.'New concluded.

'Nah,i have a better idea.'Everyone looked at Joy with curiosity.

'Let's ask help from the Gifted students.'
