"It really doesn't make sense" Xander murmured softly as he continued to stare at the monitor screen displaying articles discussing the terror of hitmen in Seattle.
A week has passed since the unnatural death of Felix Juan Brown, but the city of Seattle was again shocked by the discovery of two bodies of men tattooed with the condition of the neck slashed for 8 cm in a discotheque that turned out to still have proximity to Felix Juan Brown. The two men were Samuel and Johan.
"Do you think it's the same guy?"
Xander leaned his body against the chair. "I can't guess."
"Really?" cibir Antonio Smith, Xander's best friend. "Isn't the evidence clear, is it?"
"It's precisely because it's too obvious that I'm becoming doubtful" Xander replied quickly.
"Eh?"
"Because if the culprit was the same person he would definitely not have left a trail this clear, he would have left behind, the incision wound on the neck that is almost the same length on the three victims who know each other will really make people immediately think if the killer is the same person,” said Xander Iirih.
Antonio straightened his body. “So the killer is a different person so?”
Xander shook his head again.
“I also won't be sure about it.”
“Xander,” furious Antonio started to run out of patience. “Actually what are you thinking right now, why is your answer so ambiguous like this!!”
Xander smiled broadly. “My goal right now is to find the culprit right away, I want to learn how to handle these three closest people to Harry Portland so easily without having any trouble."
"Xander's."
"Therefore I would like to approach Daniel, I feel that Daniel was his last target before …"
"Last target, didn't you say earlier that the target was Harry Portland. Then why are you saying now that Daniel's the last target?"
Xander smiled. "Before making Harry Portland his final destination, I somehow felt that he was playing hide-and-seek with Harry Portland."
"So it's one guy?" Antonio again repeated his first question that Xander had not answered.
"It would be better if it was one person because I could approach it a lot easier."
"Alexander Scott!!!"
"Maha."
Xander laughed out loud at Antonio's screams that had been really upset with him, though it sounded like a joke but in fact Xander was serious about his words. Xander hopes to recruit the man who killed Harry Portland's three men.
Prank ….
The fourth bottle of wine again fell on the floor of Harry Portland's luxury apartment which is already similar to the war area because of the many sharp objects scattered, since returning from Johan and Samuel's funeral thirty minutes ago Harry has continued to smash all the glassware nearby. His soul was completely shaken to see the deaths of one after another of his best people in almost the same way.
"Stupid, what the cops do. Why the culprit has not yet been found….Aarrrrgggghhhh!!!!"
Harry who was venting his frustration turned his face toward Daniel with a quick movement, his eyes that had turned red were staring at Daniel with so much anger.
"What, try repeating your words?"
Daniel swallowed his saliva. "First Felix, then Johan and Samuel. What if after this I'm the target, Harry? I don't want to die, I'm too young to leave this wonderful world behind. I don't want to die, Harry!!!"
Plaque …
Harry's hard slap landed perfectly on Daniel's paper-pale face.
"So you said, you think the deaths of Felix Johan and Samuel are a premeditated death, do you?!! The cause of their death is still being investigated by the police as well as the motive of the culprit, so don't talk carelessly!!"
"I-I really wish that, too, but what if my fear is true, Harry?" Daniel chimed in on Harry without fear, he did not care about the pain left on his right cheek at this moment.
"What if the culprit's been after us in the first place?"
"Omong empty!!"
"I'm serious Harry, don't you feel that the deaths of our three friends are very neat. He meant that the way of killing the person was very professional, the incision wounds on Felix's neck, Johan and Samuel were very similar and were in the same place without injuring his other limbs first. If the killer wasn't an adept person he would have done something to their bodies before slitting their throats like that, plus Samuel and Johan had learned karate when they were kids. You need to do something soon, Harry. You must act!! Use your family's power to protect us both, I'm afraid Harry. I'm really scared!" daniel said at length.
Harry stiffened his jaw. "Why be afraid, is it certain that we will be the next target of that person? We haven't been making trouble with anyone lately anyway, so it doesn't feel like we need to get that far up to …"
"Wait!" Daniel suddenly cut Harry's words. "Do you think this has anything to do with what happened at the docks a few months ago?"
"The incident at the pier a few months ago?" Harry repeated Daniel's words expressionlessly.
"Yes." Yeah." Daniel nodded quickly. "Is it possible that the girl's family did all this?"
"Don't be stupid, the girl came from a poor family. She lived with her mother since she was a child, where maybe she could afford to hire a hit man to do this. Hiring a lawyer to help her alone she can't afford."
Daniel squeezed his fingers tightly. "Then who did it?"
"I told you not to talk weird, the case is still under police investigation and has nothing to do with it. We have nothing to do with that stupid girl's death, remember it's fine!" hardik Harry came back hard. "Now it's better that you go into your room and don't bother me."
Without being ordered twice, Daniel has rushed into his room, since hearing of Johan and Samuel's death two days ago Daniel decided to stay with Harry in his apartment because he felt much safer. The discovery of the body of Samuel and Johan as horrendous as Felix really made Daniel shaken.
Brak …
Harry hits a painting from the middle ages hanging right next to him.
"There is no way the poor man could afford to hire a hitman, after all the stupid girl killed herself by jumping into the river" Harry said hoarsely with a face as red as a tomato, talking about Eva who he brutally raped a few months ago in an empty warehouse near the dock.
Although Eva took her own life by jumping into the river, she brought Harry Portland's wallet card which was a clue Mrs Alen accused Harry Portland as one of the perpetrators of the rapist's only daughter.
"Looks like I have to see that old fucking woman."
