Perfect Crime

The sound after sound that was popping up added new information. The investigation leads to a point. A suspect candidate was also set.

Now the investigators gathered in one corner of the studio, sitting cross-legged in a circle carrying their findings. They combine and discuss all the information that has been collected.

From the results of the examination, the victim died at about nineteen hours and forty-two minutes to nineteen and forty-five minutes. About fifteen minutes before the Reskrim unit arrived at the scene. The movie was still playing.

Forensic results stated that the victim died of a slash in the neck. The wound is quite deep because the bones of the victim's esophagus until it is split. That proves that the weapon used to kill the victim is very sharp.

Hemisphere wounds were also found on both arms in the victim's hand. The incision split the flesh until it pierced through the bone. In addition, no traces of persecution were found elsewhere. No toxins or other chemicals were found that could have caused the death of the victim.

The only evidence found was a jet-black knife with two sharp sides. The sharp object has been handed over to people from the labkrim unit for investigation. The results were also submitted to the head of the investigation unit.

"There were no fingerprints on the knife. It looks like a well-planned crime."

"Maybe the culprit deliberately cleaned it after wearing it."

"I don't think that's possible. Wouldn't that raise suspicion if it was known to the audience next to him?"

"yes too. But, it's not impossible if someone beside him is trying to protect the perpetrator."

"Whatchu mean? Have you found the suspect?"

"Not really. But there are already three suspects."

The investigator began to explain about the three potential suspects. Three people who have problems with the victim and are still in the Blitos building area are the fiancee initialed D, ticket seller initials K and Sanum.

Lovers will usually sit side by side. However, the reality is that D is not next to the victim. Upon investigation, it appeared that the adjacent seats were empty. The victim was sitting in a 9D chair.

D is in seat 19A. Spectators at seats 18A and 20A testified that D never left his place during the film. That means D is independent of the suspect's status.

However, there is an oddity here. If the studio chair is considered all filled then why is the seat around the victim empty? Suspicion falls on K who sells tickets. Because, only he knows the availability of seats as an employee in charge of selling tickets.

K says that there are some people who book tickets online. Maybe they didn't come. Then some of the seats became empty. K is always at the ticket counter until the murder occurs. The pop corn seller also testified that K never left his place.

That means K is also independent of the alleged suspect because the murder took place in studio three. The theater's doorman also stated that no one had been in and out during the time since the film began until police arrived at the scene. That means the actor is still in studio three.

However, the empty twelve seats was still a strange thing here. Could there be someone who deliberately empties it in order to scapegoat the audience next to the victim so that the actual crime is tightly closed? Or does it happen to be empty because the customer is not present?

The first possibility will be very detrimental to the collision if it is so. Innocent people must bear the penalty for the actions of others. That's really not fair. However, it could also be that the second possibility is the most correct. That means the alleged suspect fell on Sanum who was sitting next to the victim.

"That's impossible! It's impossible for a woman with the initials S to be the culprit," said another investigator.

"Then, who else might be a suspect without the other audience realizing? The audience on seats 12E and 12C?"

"Not them either. Watch this carefully!" The investigator thrust the laptop at his teammates.

The video is enlarged until the victim is clearly visible. In the video, it is seen that some of the seats in the front, back and right side of the victim are empty. Just to the left of the victim was Sanum, a small boy and a bule man.

At first, the video went normal. Until finally arrived at the moment where the victim covered his face with both hands. Just then suddenly a jet black knife stuck on the wrists of victims who were close to each other. It is not known where the knife came from. The knife just appeared.

Next the victim's hand sags, exposing the victim's neck that has been split horizontally. The victim's body collapsed towards Sanum. During that time Sanum did not move at all. Spectators on the 12E and 12C seats were also focused on watching. No one seemed to approach the victim when the time of the murder occurred.

All investigators watched the video. The views in the video are very difficult to accept. A big question mark appeared in the investigators' heads.

"This is impossible! Try rewinding and slowing down!"

"I've done it many times, but the result remains the same."

Investigators in charge of observing the surveillance camera footage also replayed the video. To make sure they didn't see it wrong, they studied the video together. Video plays in slowest mode. But the result remains the same.

Video is extracted frame by frame. They looked closely at hundreds of video extract images. Sheet by sheet they slide. However, the trail of direction of the appearance of the knife remains not printed in the pictures.

"It's impossible. How could a knife appear on its own all of a sudden?"

"His knife moves on its own without anyone holding it?"

"But, isn't this knife we found too small to be able to penetrate the arm up the esophagus?"

"Could this be a magic knife?"

"Could it be a ghost who committed this murder?"

Investigators were further stunned after watching the video. This is the first time this kind of case has happened. They are really made to feel dizzy because of it.

"I'm sure that woman must have been the culprit. He may have worked with someone to remove the stabbing part."

"But it feels like it's hard to do. First, the victim will definitely scream for help when he realizes someone wants to stab him so that it will attract the attention of other spectators. Because this knife was held in the victim's arm and did not hit the victim's neck directly.

"Is it possible that the perpetrator used drugs before launching the action?"

"The forensic results state that no chemical compounds on the victim's body could have been used to harm him."

"Secondly, the audio on this video is in demand. So it can be ascertained that there are no cut parts. It could be if the perpetrator separates the audio and visual files first. Then cut off the unwanted part of the image and put the audio and visual files back together. But I've researched this CCTV footage dozens of times. No parts are cut. This video is enough to prove that S is innocent."

The investigation is at a dead end. The knife that is the evidence cannot lead at all to the perpetrator. Surveillance camera footage that should be supporting evidence is not reliable.

"But we also can't close this case by determining the killer is a supernatural being."

"Lantas, who and how did the perpetrator do it?"
