Raven High Detectives

Chapter 2: Witnessing Deductions

(Karen)

"Myrla, I think we should leave." Nanginginig kong sabi, grabe ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakakita ako ng ganitong klaseng pangyayari.

"Wait, Look who's there." Sabi ni Myrla sabay turo sa entrance ng building, may isang lalaking palabas mula sa loob ng building, at hindi ako puwedeng magkamali sa nakita ko, it was Ino, anong ginagawa ng taong yon dito? Did the police really need someone like him?

Pagalabas ni Ino mula sa building lumapit siya sa isa sa mga pulis, pero hindi isang pulis na naka-uniform, he's talking to the guy who's wearing a formal black suit at may mahabang mustache.

Malayo at maingay ang paligid, pero naririnig ko kung ano ang pinag-uusapan nila.

"So Ino, what's your take on this? tulad ba ito ng hinala namin? Is it really a suicide case?" Sabi ng pulis na may mahabang mustache "According to the witnesses, nahulog siya mula sa taas, pero walang nakakita kung may tumulak ba sa kanya."

Ino scratches his head before answering "It's a murder Detective Gustavo, I'm positive" Said Ino, again in a cold tone of voice, so that guy with a long mustache and wearing a formal black suit is a detective.

"Papaano mo naman nasigurado?" tanong ng detective.

"Obviously, based on the position of his body, he's not facing down, kung nakadapa ang pagbagsak niya mas malaki ang posibilidad na suicide ito, but no, nakatihaya siya, it means that someone pushed him from the 4th floor where he's residing."

"Mayroon ka bang nakita sa room niya?"

"Yes Detective, strangely the window is tightly close, kung tumalon nga siya sa bintana mula sa 4th floor, dapat naiwang bukas ito, imposible namang tumalon siya mula sa 4th floor then he closed the window and came back here to play dead, am i right Detective?" Ino said, hindi ko tuloy napigilan tumingala at tignan ang bintana mula 4th floor, he's right, the window is closed tightly, i'm currently seeing Ino's Detective side.

"The door of his room was unlocked, kaya naman nakapasok ako agad, usually nakalock ang pinto ng mga naninirahan dito." dagdag pa ni Ino.

"Which means, someone pushed him from the window, then left the room using the door, it is impossible to lock it from the outside kung wala kang susi." The Detective said.

"Precisely." Ino said coldly.

Maya-maya lumapit sa detective at kay Ino ang isa sa mga police officer na may dalang papel at may hawak na ballpen "Detective Gustavo heto po ang listahan ng mga taong konektado kay Arnold." Sabi ng officer, Arnold must be that guy who's deceased.

"Arnold Roy." Mumbled Myrla,

"Kilala mo siya?" Tanong ko.

"Sort of, he's one year ahead of me." Sagot niya.

Tinignan ng Detective ang listahan habang hinihimas ang kanyang mahabang bigote "The killer is someone who's close to him, probably one of his classmates na dito rin naninirahan sa compound na ito." Ino said looking at the corpse.

"Pano mo naman nalaman?" Tanong ng Detective na biglang napalingon kay Ino.

"Bago ako umakyat sa kuwarto ng biktima, tinignan ko muna ang logbook ng guard, wala kahit isa ang sumulat ng pangalan ni Arnold sa person to visit." Ino said. "Arnold let someone enter his room because he knew that person. There are two cups of coffee sa mesa, that means may kasama siya sa loob na pinagtimpla niya ng kape, you usually offer a cup of coffee to someone who's close to you. And also, there's book on the floor near the window, the two of them must be talking about a homework or anything that's related to school, so I'm certain that the killer is someone close to him and one of his classmates who is living on the same compound."
