6 The Mythics Massacre (1/2)

~Third Person's Point of View~

\”What is that commotion happening there?\”

\”It's so horrible enough to shake the whole town.\”

\”What is it? Is someone dead?\”

\”No, it's not just one but many. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really can't believe that a girl someone like her did that.\”

\”What's really going on there?\”

\”Seven people found dead in that old church, and right now they are looking for a girl named Angela.\”

\”But why? A witness?\”

\”No, no, no. She's the one who did this... The murderer.\”

Many people were compiling outside the old church and trying to get a glimpse of the dead bodies. In the meantime, a lot of policemen, detectives, and reporters were gathering in one place surrounding the church, while the seven corpses were laying on a queue covered by a black blankets. Many police officers are could be seen in every corner of the town to look for a girl as known for being responsible for the crime.

In the distant, three detectives were having a discussion about the case.

\”Is this really gonna be fine? Accusing a girl as our prime suspect?\”

A petite blonde girl wearing a simple white polo shirt and black long pants questioning the decision of the police chief. She's a freshman and this is will be her first case.

\”Who else then? Officer Lim clearly told us that she's the one who did this. He saw it.\”

A guy wearing eyeglasses said as he wrote something on his notebook. He is also a freshman.

The police officer called Lim was one of the search team that was looking for the missing little girl Aby, and when he came to the church that's when they discovered the dead bodies.

\”But he only saw that Angela running away and not the time of killing so, he didn't really see her in action.\” the detective girl said as if she's defending Angela.

\”And that still the same, Bea. It doesn't matter if he saw it in action or not, what matters here is that she ran away and no signs of her till now. That just indicates that she doesn't want to get caught.\”

\”So that's why she's the murderer?\” she asked in disbelief.

\”Exactly. Isn't that right, Detective Khan?\”

He said as the both of them looked at their senior detective. A tall guy wearing a long silver earring on his right ear, Detective Khan. But while the two detectives were talking he was just carefully looking at the corpses near behind him.

He turned his head on the two detectives, \”That's right. Your deduction is getting better, Mario.\” he praised him.

Bea gave him a glare that he just ignored. The guy detective called Mario smirked at Bea, but she ignored him and looked at the dead bodies. Then, she walked towards it, near in the smallest corpse.

\”Isn't Angela who saved this kid from the Maiden?\” she asked.

But detective Khan only nodded and did not say anything about the case.

\”That's the orphanage massacre case and that's already closed as we confirmed that the deceased Maiden Anna is the one who killed the children.\” Mario said, \”You were not that time when we had a meeting with these bounty hunters, and how that Angela acted so strange.\”

Detective Khan on the other hand noticed something on the bushes. It was moving as if something was hiding behind these bushes. He tried to get closer on this when an old man suddenly showed up in front of him.

\”Long time no see, Detective Khan.\”

The old man greeted him as he gave his hand to shake hands with him, but detective Khan didn't accept it instead he bowed his head on him.

\”It's nice to see you back, Chief.\”

The two detectives ran towards them as they saw the chief detective's arrival.

\”This small town is really strange don't you think. So many corpses are getting found day by day.\” the old man said then he walked and looked at each one of the corpses laying on the floor.

\”Your granddaughter is not one of them, Chief.\” Mario informed him.

\”Well then, where is she? Didn't you say that you found her?\”

\”She is missing again, Chief.\”

He is the chief detective of the group from the big city. The team was searching for the chief's granddaughter that was gone for 13 years, together with its mother.

The chief could not do anything and just let a deep sigh, \”I thought I can finally see her... Anyway, report the situation.\”

Mario was the one who reported the situation, \”A total of seven corpses that were found, a child, an old maiden, and five bounty hunters.\”

The chief glanced at the corpses, \”Are these the so-called Mythics hunters?\”

\”Yes.\” Mario answered.

\”And they are also my granddaughter's friends. I still can't believe that she's been hunting wanted people all these years with them.\” the chief said.

\”It's already been five hours since the corpses were found by Officer Lim.\” Mario continued.

\”Tell me about these hunters.\” the chief commanded.

\”According to my information, the total members of Mythics are eight. Five of them are dead including their leader, Ash. Your granddaughter is missing and the murderer escaped while the other one who was luckily survived named Nami is currently in our care.\”

\”So, the one who did this is one of the hunters.\”

\”Yes, Chief. It's a girl and her name is Angela. I'm sure that your granddaughter Akane managed to escape from her.\”

Mario said while Bea and Detective Khan were just silently listening. Bea wanted to talk also but Detective Khan stopped her, even though he is her senior she's impudent towards him.

\”Hmmmm... So, where is this the lucky girl Nami?\” the chief asked.

\”She's in the infirmary room of the police headquarters, Chief.\” Bea answered the chief. \”She wasn't that lucky at all, Chief.\”

The chief looked at her as he got amused by her confidence, \”Go on, tell me the details.\”

\”This is actually strange, Chief. Nami only got shot by a gun whereas these five people died because of a poisonous knife. All of their bodies had a lot of cuts and a deep stabbed in the heart. Their leader Ash had a severe wound on his stomach but the caused of his death was through stabbing him on his heart. But the strange in this case is that, Nami didn't get a single cut and only got shot on her arm, that's why she's still alive.\” Bea's deduction that made them speechless.
