Crime Scene

The answer is 'attempt to break the law' - Just like 'Impact' is not the difference between crime and not crime. There is no real difference between murder and attempted murder, that any serious effort to break the law should be considered a crime regardless of the end result. That the person intending to commit a crime is the moment where criminality begins. As the criminal's intention is the same in both.

"Who found the victim first?" Asked Aditya.

A woman who was standing closest from the bathroom raised her hand, walking closer to Aditya. Aditya takes out his detective's badge, and gives the woman some quick questions. Before taking a closer look at the victim.

Not long after, two police officers came and secured the location, collecting all the evidence around the toilet and the victim's body. Investigate whether the victim who was found was at the primary crime scene or not.

When the two policemen finished gathering the evidence, they proceeded to ask all the club customers for their alibis at the estimated time of the victim's death.

Aditya walks towards the bar where Anya was sitting earlier, the girl does not move from her place. Everyone in the bar section, did not change places following all orders, but the girl was still busy with her own world, drinking the drink she ordered, and turning her back to everyone who was confused and panicked about this incident.

Who would not panic and be confused when on New Year's Eve, where someone's time to have fun is faced by being a witness in a murder case. The bar stools are designed to face the bartender and the wall, with your back to everyone. But everyone on the chair, looked at the dance floor and asked each other information about the incident of this murder, and she remained in her position as if the people around her were just doing their usual daily activities.

Aditya walks up to the man who wears a suit more neatly than all the visitors who come, he stands beside the bar. Most likely that man was the manager here, Aditya shows his detective badge.

"Please give us copies of all the CCTV camera in this club, CCTV camera in all corners of the room and outside of the building," asked Aditya.

"Yes sir detective" replied the club manager.

Glancing at the girl, Aditya sees her reading the e-book and has the airpods in her ear. Obviously, this is the reason why Anya was behaving like this.

"Anya, you have to come with me."

"Okay." Said Anya while tidying up the things in front of her.

"Wait a minute," then Aditya approached all the visitors who were at the bar and asked for information about their alibi while at the club.

Manager club comes to Aditya with CCTV record. "The club is closed and all club workers follow me to the police. You will be asked for testimony regarding the victim." Proclaimed Aditya.

"Who died?" Anya asked quietly.

Anya's question although in a low voice, was still quite heard in the ears of the people gathered around Aditya, and of course her question made everyone in the bar section stare at her with disbelief.

What were you doing all this time, are you that apathetic to your environment.

Most likely that was on everyone's mind at the bar.

With the excitement going on in the club. This girl still doesn't know anything. What was impressive was that when she asked about someone's death, it was as if all she was asking was - What time is it.

"The last man we talked to," stated Aditya.

Aditya pays attention to Anya's expression in great detail, why she is so calm. Her calm expression was indeed the strangest response right now.

Aditya feels this girl is really suspicious, and he thinks that she might have approached him earlier to get an alibi. If he had done that on purpose, this girl was very dangerous.

Alibi defense is a defense based on information that the defendant was not at the crime scene when the crime occurred, that the defendant when the victim died was in another place and could not be the person who committed the crime.

And this girl's alibi is strong, but she won't be able to escape Aditya if she is proven guilty. Despite Aditya's great interest in her, he was still rational enough not to let go of a murderer.

But let's pray that she's not a murderer.

It was Aditya's biggest hope right now, for the first time he felt such strong chemistry with someone, it would be very sad if she turns out to be a murderer.

What is the motive of this girl, is what was said earlier about her relationship with the victim true like that? or there are things that she is hiding.

A motive is a moving path, an impulse or a passion that causes a person to commit a crime.

They all head to the blue city police station in the middle of New Year's Eve.

The victim's body has been taken to the autopsy room, the photos of the victim's body, the victim's belongings and the crime scene, have been printed.

Aditya has conducted initial interrogations with all the witnesses from the person who first found the victim, the club employee and the person he was last associated with in the club. The identity of the victim has also been found.

Bary Isaac, 26 years old, works as a programmer in a printing company in Blue City. Currently not married and not in a relationship with anyone. His family lives in Orange City, here he lives alone.

At least that new data can be obtained from his identity card data, his family has been contacted. But most likely, they wouldn't arrive tomorrow morning. Given the distance between cities is quite far.

Information from all witnesses is still in the same line.

The girl who first found the victim's body said that initially she was just waiting in line for the bathroom. Because this club is a private club, the queue for bathrooms is not crowded, well, there are indeed many bathrooms that have been provided. The only one waiting in the girl's bathroom was her. The victim then walked out of the bathroom. It's already looking limp - he's probably drunk.

And suddenly a man dressed as a vampire hit the victim, walking toward the bathroom. The victim fell to his knees, but he still coughed and felt like vomiting - well, the impact of drinking too much. Then the bathroom door opened and the girl went inside. When she came out the man was already jolted while holding his stomach which was bleeding profusely, and a very clear stab wound.

Then the woman's reflex screamed, and everyone gathered.

The club clerk in charge of cleaning the bathroom also gave a similar statement, that a man wearing a vampire costume was seen several times entering a different men's bathroom, which the janitor could tell because he passed by while cleaning the bathroom. The janitor thinks he might forget something in the bathroom but forgot which bathroom, so he checks all the bathrooms.

Meanwhile, the security did not remember the man in the vampire costume in question, while regarding the victim. He had only seen him once, and that was when Miss Anya and the detective had an argument with the man in front of the veranda before going down to the ground floor to the bar.

The bartender knows the victim because every time he orders a drink at the very corner of the bar, his eyes don't go away from where the detective and Miss Anya chatting. So he thought that the man was one of the people that Miss Anya rejected.

Currently, Aditya, has received three common threads, the victim – Anya, and the man in the vampire costume. Considering that Anya is also wearing a vampire costume, it is very clear that this murder case is related to her. Directly or not. Although another alternative to the perpetrator is a woman who was in the bathroom, it is most likely that the victim was injured when the witness first entered the bathroom.

It means that, the current key witness is the girl who came out of that toilet.

The first witness has given the characteristics of the girl, and the police have made a sketch based on the information given by the witness about the key witness's physique.

The only person who hasn't been asked the question is Anya, and Aditya is waiting for the complete data on the girl to be given to him, by the police data department, before he enters the room. The girl's interrogation room was at the far end of the room, someone was already observing her behavior behind the two-way glass.

"What do you think? Did she do something suspicious?" Aditya asked when he was next to the man who was observing her.

"No, but she's very calm, even earlier she asked to get her some hot tea to drink." Replied the man.

"This is the data regarding the girl," the man in front of the mirror faces Aditya and hands him an envelope containing several papers. "Quite a colorful identity in my opinion." He said before returning to observe Anya who was sitting in the interrogation room while drinking her hot tea.

Aditya walked into the interrogation room, Anya was still sitting upright holding a hot tea glass on the table.

"Is this room too cold for you? Your clothes are a bit open," commented Aditya.

Aditya looks for the ac remote before turning the ac off.

"After answering some of my questions you can go home, the police will call you back if further information is needed. So - can I get started?" Aditya asks for confirmation of Anya's availability.

"Please." Her answer is short.

"What is your full name? Where do you know the victim?"

"My full name is Anya Mariana Evan, I know the victim from my job."

"What do you do?"

"The erotica content creator on the simplyfans.com website, he is one of the clients who hired my services as a date during the new year."

Aditya opens the file his friend gave him and looks at the note about this girl's data. Her full name is correct Anya Mariana Evan, 24 years old, works as a photographer. Graduate from Olden University in Blue City with majoring Bachelor of Arts in photography.

"How long have you known the victim?"

"We chat with each other this week, it's more like adjusting the schedule to meet. It was the first time I got to know him. But... for how long has he been a follower of my content, I don't know. As long as website followers don't ask me to do odd jobs like dating or escorts - I don't know who my 'fans' are."

Aditya asked some further questions, before allowing her to come home.

"Did someone pick you up - remembering you went to the police with me."

"Someone will pick me up, thank you for your attention."

A man walked into the police station, wearing a thick coat and standing looking around for someone.

"Hey" shouted Anya, approaching the man.

"Goodbye detective, I hope the case will soon find a bright spot." Anya bid farewell before leaving the place, with the man who picked her up.

Aditya notices that the man who picked her up looks as if he just woke up, with hair still half disheveled. Some of the girl's complaints can still be heard by Aditya who follows them towards the police exit.

"The first day of the new year should have started well, I ended up unlucky as a witness or even a defendant in a murder case," Anya grumbled.

"You're right, pray that your bad luck doesn't last for the next 365 days." Her friend teasing.

"Shut up!"

"Pray? - are you teasing me? continue Anya with her frustrate.

And the laughter of Anya's male friend was heard.

Their inner joke, thought Aditya. Seeing their behavior with each other, Aditya admires their closeness, friendship or maybe their unique brotherhood. Bickering each other - feeling a little jealous that he doesn't have that kind of relationship with anyone.

!!! When finding the victim at the scene, the first thing to know is whether it was the primary crime scene or the secondary one? The primary crime scenes are the places where the crime actually took place. While the secondary crime scene that is in some ways linked to crime but not where the crime actually occurred.
