''Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa !'' Phillips screamed out as he was frightened by what he saw. He was paying a visit to his friend when he found out his friend has been murdered. Few minutes later , the police arrived at the scene. A police barricade was formed around the scene and people were standing around chit chatting among each other as they were observing the situation. Reporters stormed the place and were covering the news.
       A man in his 30's arrived at the scene and showed his I.D to the officers at the scene. They saluted him as soon they saw his I.D.
    "What's the situation ?'' Scott asked as he was about to enter the scene
'' There is no sign of forced entry. What do you think,sir ?" enquired Ray

The forensic team were already at the scene too. Scott put on a pair of glove and was checking the victim's body
        '' That means the victim willingly let in the culprit ",replied Scott
"Then, there's a chance that the culprit is an acquaintance '' uttered Ray
     '' Yeah, someone who can easily entered this place" Scott assumed as he was looking around the living room
" You gotta see this,sir'' uttered Ray
        " what's it ?'' asked Scott as he was approaching Ray
   '' The victim was holding onto this '' he replied as he handed a folded piece of paper to him
" John 9:41" he read aloud
        " What do you think about this,sir ? " Ray asked
    " This could be a clue to the case seeing how the victim was holding onto it " replied Scott
  Scott and Ray walked out of the place to check the surveillance camera around the scene. They later found out the camera hasn't been working for almost two weeks
     '' damn it. it seems we can't get anything out of the surveillance camera," said Ray disappointedly
         " Over there ! " Scott shouted as he pointed to a car.

    Apparently, the car has been there for a couple of days. They enquired about the owner and his neighbor told them he's been out of town and will only return the following day
   " It seem we'll have to come back tomorrow '' said Scott as he walked away

   They both left the place and returned to their station. Few hours later , Ray left the station and returned with the autopsy report
      " Here's the autopsy report , sir, " said Ray as he handed him the report.
  " Apart from what we've seen at the scene, there's nothing special " claimed Scott as he put down the report on his desk
   '' Any clue on what John 9:41 could mean ? " Scott asked
" No , sir . Could it be some sort of secret code ? " he asked
      " secret code my foot ! are you kidding me ? " he retorted
Scott brought out his phone and dialed a number. The receiver answered the call and Scott put the phone on speaker

   " It's been awhile , sir'' said the receiver immediately after he answered the call
  '' save the formality for later. i need you to do me a favor '' he replied sharply
      " okay , go ahead '' said the receiver
   "Can you look up John 9:41 in our database ? '' requested Scott
          " John 9:41 ?. You mean John 9:41 in the bible ?. Why should I be checking for that in the database ? " the receiver retorted
       " you mean John 9:41 is in the bible ? " he asked in disbelief
  " oh , i guess you don't know. '' he said jokingly
        '' Alright , thanks. I'll call you back later " Scott said as he ended the call

   Ray was already looking up John 9:41 on the internet
  '' If you were you would not be guilty of sin;but now you claim you can see, your guilt remains " Ray read it aloud from the internet
      " How do you think this is related to the case ? " Ray asked curiously
  " I think there's more to this case. It's possible that the victim witness something " replied Scott
             " something ? such as ? '' Ray asked simultaneously
       " something he's not supposed to witness. He probably witnessed the culprit committing murder " Scott replied.
                   "what ! " he uttered in shock
   Scott made another phone call. He explained everything about the case to the receiver. Then, he asked the receiver to check the database for any similar case and send the case report to him
    Few minutes later, a file was sent to Scott. It was set to him by the receiver . He checked the file and it was about a murder case where a man and a woman were murdered in a room. According to the report , the victims were stabbed multiple times. '' Deuteronomy 20:10-12 was boldly written on the wall of the room with the victim's blood
       '' I found it. Here's it ; If a man commits adultery with another man's wife , even with the wife of his neighbor , both adulterer and adulteress must be put to death..........'' Ray read aloud
     " This will be quite troublesome. It's the same culprit " uttered Scott
" You mean the culprit is a serial killer ? " Ray asked looking surprised
       Scott went to meet the Chief officer in his office and explained everything to him
      " what do you mean by a serial killing case ? '' the chief asked in shock
  '' I'm certain about it , sir " Scott said
        " darn it ! Can you handle it ? '' the chief asked
   " Yes , sir . But , I have a  request . '' demanded Scott
               "hmm.....what's your request ?" asked the chief
"i would like to form a new team" he replied
         "ugh.....a new team . Alright, go ahead. I will support you in anyway i can" the chief said with a worried look
