LOHIKA 4: I See Murders [COMPLETED]

Chapter XXX - Her Lost Dream

Parris Family had hit rock bottom. Their company, Memo Pharma, had lost investors and trust from the people all around the country. Their products had been pulled out of the market as it officially declared its bankruptcy. Ang Chairman nito na ama ni Chantria ay humaharap sa patong-patong na kaso na may koneksyon sa unethical, fraudulent, at illegal activities sa paggamit nito ng slush funds. The news became a hot topic around the whole country. Everyone was talking about how the executive board members of that said company crumbled down the gutter in a blink of an eye. Kung paano ang lahat ng ito ay sangkot sa iba't-ibang ilegal na aktibidad. Monsters in suits, iyan ang bansag ng media sa mga ito.

But after all those harsh public opinions, it didn't change the fact that someone else's daughter had died.

Chantria was dead. Nakumpirma iyon ni Jiwon nang sinadya n'ya ang morgue ng ospital na pinagdalhan sa dalaga. Chantria's face was damaged in a terrifying way due to the impact of the police van's crash. The top part of her skull was cracked open, revealing a part of her brain. Malayong-malayo ang hitsura nito sa Chantria na naaalala n'ya. The two dead police detective beside her were both covered with white cloth. Ang puting tela na iyon ay mayroon ng bahid ng dugo na tumagos galing sa duguan nilang katawan.

The one on Chantria's right was missing a shoe. Nakalabas ang sugatang paa nito na hindi nahagip ng may kaikliang kumot.
