Psycho

Chapter 18

Was it possible that a person would take a year to do all that just for games? All these years he's been hanging on the love that Mew had him feel that one year even though they did nothing. Just the stares and the simple touches made him feel so good. How can it mean nothing?

Ok forget about 10 years ago, they had sex twice recently what was that? It was just too complicated to simplify what they had going. Lin was missing something.

"Maybe you're mistaken," he said but Lin insisted.

"You have to search it in your memory. I'm sure there must've been something off. Not the criminal acts but between the two of you, there must be something you're missing."

Kanawut remembered the night they had sex for the second time (chap15) he remembered Mew used more than five emotions in less than three minutes.

Mew had been confused, arrogant, desperate, longing, jesting and horny too. He remembered how he just changed his facial expressions easily and he remembered the foreign feeling he felt, the coldness he felt from Mew as if he was someone different.

If only he had paid more attention to the strangeness. If he had used a different type of head that night he would've figured it out. It was only more painful that he discovered after having lost many things.

He slammed the table in anger. He had known  Mew was lying. He figured it out already but more layers kept on coming off and this discovery was the worst.

The detective's phone went off, it was Mike calling, "please give me a minute," he excused himself as he stepped outside.

He answered the phone as soon as he got outside. "Mike what's up,"

"Yoh you've got to see this. This Mew person is really something else."

"What do you mean?"

"Firstly, I'm sorry I took this long. I've been sitting on the evidence coz I thought you guys already figured out the suspects for the homophobe attack. I only went back after the news blew out and all the suspicious things I realized from the news,"

"what are you talking about Mike?"

"The laptop from the homophone attack. Remember you told me to follow a link after receiving a call?"

"Yes."

"And then I found the location."

"Yes."

"That's how you found Mew almost dead right?"

"Not really but yes."

"So I don't know if you still remember the letter that was written along with the picture that was posted of him."

Kanawut had totally forgotten about it.

"The letter is a declaration of some sort. At first I couldn't figure it out what it meant with the circumstances going on at the time. But now everything fell into place so I asked Joy if she still had the laptop as evidence and it was delivered yesterday. I didn't sleep all night trying to crack down the passcode to some locked files on it."

"Mike, can you please get to the point already?"

"This guy is a Psycho,"

"No shit Sherlock." Kanawut rolled his eyes.

"No I mean seriously. He had everything planned. In his laptop I found ten files that were locked."

"What do you mean ten people?"

"So far I have managed to open seven."

"What's in the files?"

"In each file are pictures and documents of you guys,"

"When you say guys who do you mean?"

"Xu Per Rem Day Lin you and captain. Everything about your life is detailed. Your occupation, your house address and everything. Your off days, your base for hanging out. Your friend Wes,"

"And the letter?"

"It says, Dear X, for a person to be born again all past sins are cleansed and he becomes new. Lose ends are tied, knotted strings are cut, pending cases are concluded.

That x is not for anonymity but it represents the number 10." Mike analysed.

"Besides that everything else is clear. The last time I read it when he was attacked, I thought someone wrote it and Mew's sin was being gay right, so he had to be cleansed from his sin by whatever happened to him so that he could become a new person.

That's what I thought but after everything came to light I started questioning everything again and with the laptop and all these files I got another meaning. Everything from his past has to be corrected, cleansed and cut so he can become a new person.

"Can you please send me the letter."

"Just did." Mike said as kanawut heard his phone vibrating.

"Thanks Mike. I'll call you again soon."

"Sure thing Gulf."

Mike said and Kanawut groaned annoyed. Of course he knew his name now.

Kanawut went back in the room and showed Lin the short letter, "Mew wrote it do you understand it?"

"I should be asking you that detective."

"Why?" Kanawut questioned.

"You're the pending case in this letter Detective."
