Encoded

Chapter 35 : Strawberries

MHOREIN

"Search the room for a code or a cipher. Now. " I ordered. I saw the corener enter the room.

"Kailangan na naming kunin ang katawan, Detective." I nodded.

I looked inside the cupboards and around the kitchen. Any possible hiding spot. Obvious or not. But I found nothing.

"There's nothing here..." I said softly. I flipped the carpet upside down but found nothing.

I heard Chain slam open something in the bathroom and Aiden is inspecting around the bed.

"Guys! Mayroon dito! Bilisan niyo!." I rushed over to Aiden who's trying to lift up the matress.

"Teka lang, Hindi ko maiangat-" He struggled to lift the mattress. Chain helped Aiden with the matress. Under it is something written in blood. Perfectly staining the white cloth with dark red ink.

I got my phone out and took a clear photo of it.

"YPNKDILLN72J

Scarlet"

"Its from Scarlet" Chain and Aiden dropped the matress.

"Ibig sabihin marami sila? Ilan?" Aiden asked.

"The woman on call introduced herself as Scarlet. We've met Morse, Acros sent other the codes and emails." I recalled.

"Three. We know three of them, Hindi natin alam kung meron pa." Chain suggested.

"Paano si Daniel Lucas?" Asked Aiden.

"We dont know about him. Why would a billionare have something to do about us?" Chain asked.

"They left a code when the Enrile's died and Morse confessed to being involved in the inspector's death." I insisted. I sighed in frustration.

"Hindi ito rot13 o kung ano mang basta bastang code. This one uses a password." I stared at the photo.

"I mean... Youre Mhorein. Sigurado naman akong kaya mo iyan." Aiden displayed a hesitant smile.

The longer I stared at Scarlet's name on my screen, the heavier my breathe becomes. I keep remembering everything he did and said.

We were requested to get out of the crime scene when the CSS came in.

After that event we decided to get lunch and catch up. I couldnt focus on anything since I've been staring at my phone the whole time, Trying to figure out what code this is.

"Teka, May problema ata tayo." Chain And I looked at Aiden.

"Paano ko babalik sa Leounet station? Nung sila ang naglipat sa akin dito, Ang dami nang proseso. Paano pa kaya kung ako mismo ang gusto lumipat doon?" We didnt really consider that.

"Mori and Prina wanted this. Cant they handle it? Mori cheated his way to Lieutenant, Maibabalik niya naman siguro si Aiden kung gugustuhin niya." Chain suggested.

"Na-renew narin ang lisensya ko. Ang laking hassle naman nito." Saad ni Aiden.

We're gonna have a hard time with this if we dont talk to the right people.

"Lieutenant Mori can do something about it. Im sure." Chain assured us.

"Lieutenant Mori doesn't want us to work. He wants us out of the agency. I doubt it." I sighed.
