Crime Adventure

They were sitting on the cold sand while watching the beautiful sunset. Nothing seemed strange, they looked like a normal couple having their own moment, living in a different world.

Once the sky become darker than his heart, the life in her eyes was fading away. She couldn't move anymore. All you could hear was how the waves were bumping in the rocks.

The next morning the police was everywhere, her cold body was laying on the ground. Beautiful as the sunrise.The sand was all in her long blond hair.On her face were written the last moment of her existence.

The police dropped the case, no one knew anything about the victim or who did it. As the time passed the more cases like hers were found. They couldn't stop the social media, so everyone knew... Detective Lolgon heard about it too. He decided to start investigate.

- Good morning!- said he with a cigarette in the mouth.

- It's not very good sir. - said his Mr. Scott.

- Uh, I guess a new case. Perfect! Let's go and take a look. - said Lolgon with a small smile on his face.

They went to the new victim's body.

- Hmm... so it was the "Unknown". What is all this, they are always the killed the same way. This is the tenth victim. Why can't you all do your stupid job?! - yelled he at the other people.

- Sir I think you should calm down. They worked really hard the last five months. - said Yon Scott

- Tc.. this is not it. There is something that we can’t really see. All we know is that the killer kills them around 9 pm. Then he disappears. It's always on the beach. - he started to think.

- Hey you all let’s do something. Which one of you wants to dress like a hot girl so we can find him? - he said while drinking his morning coffee.

Everyone looked at him with annoyed eyes and then went back to work.

The Detective and Mr. Scott went inside the car.

- Sir let's go to the your office.

- No!

- Huh?

- Drive straight and stop the car when I tell you to! - told him. So it is like I thought...Ha-ha I like him. - again said with a the face he do when the case is nearly ready.

- What is it sir? - asked him Scott.

- You remember when I told you that to become a good detective you have to pay attention to everyone and everything?

- Yes, it was six years ago. But what about it?

- I know who it is.

Scott didn't ask anything else because he knew that he won't get the answer. He continue driving.

Two hours later they were at the nearest beach in the area.

- Ha! You will ask what it is... Here. This is it. This is where the next victim will be found around this time tomorrow.

- H-how do you know? - Yon loves to ask this question, of course Lolgon loves to hear it to.

- Listen kid. I don't really know it I just saw it. - the typical answer.

- But... who is the killer?

- Who knows. - he said, while letting a new cigarette. Let's go.

They drove to the office.

Day later they were at the exactly the same place the Detective said it will be.

- Oh you workers, really can't do anything. Sometimes I hate my job because of you.

- Detective! Can you stop saying this things to us. If you know who did it then find it by yourself! - one of the workers said.

- Hey you with the green hat! What is your name? - he pointed to one of the people who were taking photos.

- Who? Me? I am Jack Soprano.

- Oh, Jack. I mean it's really good for you but it's getting on my nerves. - he said while putting a new cigarette in his mouth.

- Sir, I am sorry but what do you mean? - you could hear the note of panic in Jack's voice.

- This moment is really one of the best moments. To be honest everything you did was really smart... but your only mistake was to work with them. I don't know how you are in this game still. - the smoke from his bitter lips was everywhere because of the strong wind.

- Sir can you stop with this non sense? - one of the police man stand up.

- John, do I have to say it or you are going to confess?

- Ha - ha! Good work! - said John with a big smile on his face. His big eyes told a story of a trauma and how his morals were broken.

- Mister Soprano, what are you talking about? - one of his co-workers asked. But all he got was a cold look.

- So is this the time when I have to run? Or I have to kill someone here? Or the time I have to point the gun at myself?

- Well you can't run, I saw earlier that your leg is not okay. You can't really kill anyone else because you are scared. So uh... can't someone here just arrest him, or i have to do everything by myself?

- How did? What do you mean by that? How did he kill this girl and the other ten too? - the commander asked.

- Well you see. When I work with someone i check everything about them. I saw that he started work a week before the first case. After this I saw his leg... it was after we knew that the victim fought. Here is his leg and the foot print. Also i considered the time the things happened also where they took place. Always the next beach. The time too. The data I got was always around ten pm he was home, he leaves work at 5:20 pm. A little bit before sunset. Also I saw the look on his face when he saw every dead body... he clearly tried to hide the smile. Also I found his account in a dating site. I saw that most of his victims were girls from the site. It was really easy to know who was it. Logic! - said he while playing with the cold sand.

John's hands were in handcuffs.

- Thank you again Detective Lolgon. Thanks to you, we know who did this to this poor women.

They putted him in the car and drove him to the police station.

- This was amazing, sir! - excitingly said Mr. Scott.

- I told you, this is why you have to always pay attention to the details... I would like if you remember this... you have to.

Yon Scott didn't say anything he couldn't interrupt the moment. But he was really interested in what Detective Lolgon meant by the last sentence, but the vibe he got was really bad and cold.
