PART TIME DETECTIVES [VENTURES]

Episode 13- Surprise visit and A locked room murder case (Deduction)

[Zed]

The four of us settled at the corner, we have been silent for a couple of minutes when Vaughn recieved a text message from Principal Nick.

"Basahin n'yo to"

Iniharap sa'min ni Vaughn ang screen ng phone nya

'Zeena is missing'

I saw Zoki clench his fist, It doesn't need a detective to know that he's worried about his sister.

I need to solve this case as soon as possible, I just need Nate's information and that's it.

Ilang sandali pa ay lumapit na sa'min si Nate at bumulong sakin.

"I've confirmed it"

Tumango ako sa kanya at naglakad papunta sa gitna ng sala.

All of them fixed their eyes at me as I cleared my throat and took a deep breath.

"we have already solve this case"

all of them took a moment to gasped and utter a small words of surprise, I looked at Vaughn's side, Nate and Zoki are already gone, they must've had commence to the plan, I need to do my part.

"What case? Diba sabi nila aksidente ang nangyari?" nagtatakang tanong ng lalaking naka polo, I believe his name is Dominic.

"Then it must have been a perfect accident don't you think?"

Sasagot pa sana si Dominic pero hinawakan sya ng katabi nya

"Sinasabi mo bang pinatay ang biktima?"

I tilted my head to her direction and nod a little bit "Yes Miss Detective"

Lumapit sa'kin si Officer Garcia

"Pero Zed, Impossible namang pinatay ang biktima dahil mula nang pumasok si Mr Perez sa kwarto nya ay nandito lang silang lima sa sala ng mga oras na nangyari ang aksidente"

"Oo nga, walang lumabas samin o humiwalay mula ng pumasok si Cristopher sa kwarto nya" sang-ayon ni Aaron.

"Kung pinapalabas mo na isa sa amin ang pumatay kay Cristopher nagkakamali ka, walang may sapat na oras sa'min para patayin sya and besides, nakalock ang kwarto ni Cristopher at sya lang ang may hawak ng susi" Daniel added.

"Zed, alam kong matalino kang bata ganoon na'rin ang mga kasama mo, pero imposible yang pinapalabas mo, imposible itong maging kaso ng pagpatay"

"Thanks for the compliment Officer Garcia but this is not an accident, It's a well planned murder, almost perfect. Almost" I can't help but smile, just the thought of a locked room murder boils my blood.

tho I was disappointed when Officer Garcia seemed to be skeptical about it.

"You look creepy" Detective Catherine said

"kung pinatay ang biktima, ibig sabihin ba isa sa kanilang apat ang pumatay sa biktima?"

sabay-sabay na tumayo ang apat na suspect ng marinig ang itinanong ni Vaughn.

"A-ANONG PINAGSASABI MO?"

"wala kaming kasalanan sa pagkamatay ni Cristopher"

Sunod-sunod na sabi nilang apat. It took a few minutes before Officer Garcia manage to calms them down.

"since I only have 15 minutes left to finish this case I would like to keep it fast and brief, I wouldn't entertain any stupid questions during my deduction, now follow me"

Sumunod sila sakin papunta sa kwarto ng buktima, the body was already sent to the morgue and the forensic has already finished talking photos all that's left was the drawing. I saw Zoki and Nate sitting at the edge of the bed.
