Black princess! [4]

Nagpatuloy ang mainit na discussion sa loob ng conference room.

"Well as the witness said the suspect—she's in her teens, age between 17 or 18, height approximately 5'7" with a figure of a model! This two seen her carrying nothing, so besides her, we suspect that she had an accomplice!"

"But there's no one  in there, Sir. nang makarating kami, we check the windows and it was all close, we also checked all possible exit route, pero wala kaming nakita.!"

One of the detective disagreed, dahil wala naman talaga silang nakitang ibang tao doon, naratnan nga nilang wala ng ulo ang biktima pero hindi nila nakita ang ulo nito.

"So you mean, Ronald's head just went off by itself or are you just literally telling me that it disappeared in thin air, na parang bula?"

All of them fell into silent it was like a close door murder, isa lang naman kasi ang exit point at iyon ay ang pintuan. 

"Not unless he's a batman!"

Na ikinatawa ng lahat.

"You think it's funny? Fine laugh all you can, total kayo naman maghahanap ng "nawawalang ulo" nakakatawa ano?"

"But Sir, where on earth would—

"Why? Do you all want to change position with me, instead? At ako na maghahanap? Ano pala ang silbi ninyo, see! di na kayo nahiya? As what you all concluded the suspect is just a girl, but then, bakit hindi ninyo nahuli? Naisahan kayo ng isang batang babae? Wow ang gagaling ninyong mga police kayo!"

Di na mapigilang bulyawan ni Chief Go ang mga ito, kahapon pa mainit ang kanyang ulo dahil sa kapalpakan ng mga tauhan.

Goodness! Kapag lumabas ito sa media magiging katawa tawa sila.

"Regardless of what happened in there, base on my experienced, there's two suspect, the girl and another unidentified person!"

Sa gitna ng tension dahil sa pagkawala ng ulo ni Ronald sa crime scene, nakangiti lamang ng makahulugan si Det. Sembrano.

"Perhaps you people did not checked everything!"

Biglang sabat ni Det. Sembrano. Nakatingin naman ng makahulugan si Chief Go sa kanya.

"For example, this foodcart in here!" 

Itinuro niya ang foodcart na naroon sa gilid na hindi man lang nagalaw.

"Or this garbage bin—"

"We checked the garbage bin, Sir!"

"Oh?!" 

Makahulugan tanong ni Det. Sembrano. They noticed that size of the bin is enough for the size of human head.

"So what about this flower pot in here?"

Turo niya sa malaking flower pot sa gilid, nagkatinginan naman sila ng makahulugan.

who would've though of checking it?

"As far as we know everything in the crime scene is significant to us but why did you forget this simple details?"

Walang sino man ang nakasagot. 

"Pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng unang team na mag imbistiga, me and my team went in there for follow up. Let's play spot the difference in here!"

Sarkastikong pahayag ni Det. Sembrano.

"See the difference between this two images—first, this things is not even touch before and after the first team investigates the crime scene, at first It's not really noticeable but as you see there's just one thing that went missing in there. The food cart, but we have to set it aside, we have to focus with this second object which is a huge pot— in here!"

"Nakita namin na dalawa ang layer ng naturang flower pot at bakante sa ilalim, probably out of haste the suspect put the head inside as you see iba nayong position ng bulaklak—"

Explain ng isa sa team ni det. Sembrano.

"But how come there's no blood stained?"

"That's a good question, because the pot is made of clay that will absorb any form of liquids and neutralized it's color, there's no stained but the smell of the blood still there—"

Aniya na ipinakita ang footage ng naturang flower pot.

"Chief Go is indeed correct, there are two possible suspect. The girl and the other one that sneaked the head outside the crimes scene, using the food cart, pagkaalis ng naunang team!"

Doon lang nila na realized ang kanilang pagkakamali. Det. Sembrano secretly smiled, triumphantly.

"And there's one thing you mess out, this red rose that the victim was holding!"

"Oh yeah. .I heard about it before!" 

Chief Go said ng maalala nito ang isa sa mga case na nahawakan niya nuon.

"There's a bands of assassin called Bloods and Roses, they're the one who finished the business which the authorities can't, for example the serial killers and notorios criminals, pagkatapos nilang patayin ito they will leave a mark!"

"Do you know who stablished Bloods and Roses?"

Tanong ni Chief director Ramirez na kararating lang. Interesado naman ang lahat ng naroroon.

"The king of underworld—Hades, himself!"

"Kung talagang tama ang sinabi ng witness, it means that this is not just a simple case as it's involved with the one we could not touch!"

"Black Princess, does she really exist?"

Di makapaniwalang tanong ni Chief Go, saglit namang nagkatinginan sina Det. Sembrano at Chief director Ramirez.

"We just have to wrapped this up, we focus first on the victims background and escapades—make sure not to let this out in the media. That head will resurface, sooner than we expected so you'd all drop this for the maintime.!"

Kahit nagtataka hindi na pumalag si Chief Go, He sense something is not quite right. 

"You two come follow me I have something to discuss to the two of you!"

"Let's end in here, Gentlemen!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Sabay sabay nilang sagot, nagpugay kamay pa muna ang mga ito bago umalis sina Chief Go at Det. Sembrano.

Meanwhile. .

Glaiza scream in horror ng makita niya sa kanyang paanan ang ulo ni Ronald.

Someone just casually throws it to her, matagal na nakapiring ang kanyang mga mata kaya't pilit niyang inaaninag ang kung sino man ang nakatayo sa kanyang harapan.

"You?"

Anyang napalunok ng laway na tila nakakita ng multo ng mapagtanto kung sino ang dumukot sa kanya.
