"We got another victim identity?" I'm surprised on how fast it is but it looks like i just acted, I'm not really so surprised since her cousin is really fighting for her vow as a police, and executing her justice to someone i don't know.
"Un, we actually got two."
"Okay, let's go."
"It's faster if we use train."
"Fine."
When we arrived at the next location, we also did the same tactic.
"My daughter? She just message me on monday." The mother of next victim said
"Really? How about today?" I asked
"Oh well, she's still not responding, she usually greet me good morning everyday but it looks like she's busy this week."
"Okay then, can we get your daughter or your number ma'am for closer communication?"
"Okay."
We got another number and used my skills once again but my suspicion is getting stronger.
Both student didn't reply to their parents and would only respond if they have been asked, even their social medias activities are deleted.
I still didn't tell it to her but she also thought it was deleting traces, but she's half correct.
That's what i thought, she was half correct until i am also wrong about it....
The next victim disappeared during tuesday and responded to their parents yesterday, all 3 students responded in consecutive days.
It means that the attacker victimized one person per day.
Not only that, all of the 3 parents are the first one who message their daughters first.
I need to confirm it later.
....
Me and Miru left after finally interviewing them, we're back at the train.
I'm fiddling with my phone, trying to connect the 3 numbers and she's looking at it closely.
"What are you going to do with that numbers." She asked me.
"I'm confirming something, i have a suspicion that all of this contact number is connected to the culprit and just trying to hide it to their parents."
After that, i finally texted the culprit.
'Dear, how's school?'
It's lunchtime now since the time is 12, if the culprit respond back, we can think of it as the culprit has free time.
'Everything is fine, i'm hanging out with my friends, later mom.'
They respond.
'Send me a picture later okay?'
It was seen.
With that, i can locate where is the coordinates the message got sent.
While i'm trying, i asked Miru to use the other 2 numbers to confirm where the culprit location by texting them and act as their parents.
"What now?" Miru asked me curiously after she's done.
"I used their phone numbers to track where they are, i used phone network's towers to locate what sim card they are using, since phone network towers are everywhere, they will be caught in a specific radius of tower to track who sent the message."
We both focused on my phone until for 5 minutes, we finally tracked the sender.
I'm disappointed, shocked and got confirmation.
I thought the sender would be in school, but i was shocked and confirmed my other suspicion.
There's a third party that is interfering in school.
"The location of the senders was in a networking company building, a water attraction and subway, all the three message from different numbers pinpointed their location, definitely to distract or mislead the police."
"I will call my cousin later, this would definitely help." It might be a fluke but i just heard a relief in her voice.
"Un, calm down for now, your cousin will take care of it, it's not our job anymore."
I'm still suspecting Roxia family involvement about this as my encounter of them is about the Death Aphrodisiac, i still need to confirm it further.
We finally returned to school at exact time our first class session.
When we came back to council room, it looks like there isn't a problem except the vice president who kept glaring at me and trying to stick with Miru.
The arrangements and measurements of square feet for the event are already measured, only left is to decrease the students and focus on designing and decorating the upcoming stalls.
Pretty much, one of my problems are slightly resolved.
But it still won't end, if it involves the Roxia family, then it won't, i hope the organizations in police sides would take a better move so i don't need to get involve more in this situation and finally lay low.
The school became smoother the half day, it looks like the other privileged are laying low too.
Rariso pick me up again but instead of us talking what we did today, it looks like both of us are exhausted, i don't really felt like talking today and i respect the silence.
"You look different today son, something happened?" He tried to crack a joke and smile despite the fatigue in his face.
"Ha, you bet..."
"I sure do hope you're not doing something mischievous."
"Am i that pushover in your eyes? I'm hurt."
"Hello hurt, I'm- Ack-!! why did you kick the seat?"
"Shut up with your dad joke, not funny."
"Haah, fine..."
"So, why you look so tired anyway."
"About the investment.... Almost lost so many bucks when the value dropped, good thing i still gained my profit even if it's just a bit."
"Are you even focusing on the trends." I asked with poker face
"Well yes... It's just sudden anyway, don't think i'm going to stop investing."
"I trust you anyway."
"Ha... I always felt like i'm talking to you as a friend, and care as a son."
"Are you feeling sentimental or something? Want me to hug you?"
"Ha, i bet you wouldn't."
"Damn right, how did you know...."
"Hahahaha.... It's fun being with you kiddo."
This guy is really carefree...
"You're unusual today, let's go home and eat, Risa and Shira probably would order another take out again for snacks."
"Un."
Everything felt so fast, as someone like me who lost the concept of time, i don't think it's a problem.
But it felt regretful, to the times you would like to last forever.
The car crossed the bridge and here we are once again, looking at this beautiful hue of the horizon and wind that blows away my hair, brought by the sea.
Nature is amazing.
