Enigma Of The Killer Lecturer

Injustice

"I feel so sleepy, my head hurts. I really can't sleep." Her mind was far away, her eyes half closed. Soraya had completely lost her mind.

Sitting limply alone on a park bench waiting for the next class to start. Soraya wished she could come home sooner and change her bedtime last night.

After returning to the dorm at 5 am. She continued to cry as she lay in bed, thinking back on the threats Josh had made to her. Her chest felt tight from continuing to cry and holding back the anger that should have belonged to her.

"It's not fair, it's so unfair-"

"What's not fair?" Diana asked, without Soraya knowing that she was already standing in front of her with a questioning look.

Soraya lifted her head to look at Diana with vacant eyes. Diana knew that Soraya was not getting enough sleep, because she looked very sleepy when class started.

Diana sat in front of Soraya, put her bag on the table and handed her a cup of black coffee she had bought.

"Drink this! I hope it helps you!"

"Thank you."

"What happened? I heard from the residents of the dormitory that a female student was taken by ambulance last night. She said it was a student from room 103. Isn't that your room?"

"Yeah right, it was my roommate who was taken to the hospital."

"Oh my god, what happened? You know when we heard that, David and I went straight to your place to check. But when we got there the ambulance was gone and we heard a student named Kerry Smith cut herself with a knife."

Hearing Diana's words, Soraya was stunned. She took a sip of her coffee to calm her very distressed soul over this matter.

"I don't know, nor do I understand what's really going on."

"Really? The girls who live next door to your room say they heard an argument between you and that girl. They're all talking about you, to be honest it really worries me. David keeps calling you, but your phone is off."

"Yeah, I didn't have time to bring my phone charger to the hospital. I don't have any money with me now either Mrs Carla came at 5 am to take turns looking after Kerry."

"What about her parents and family? When are they coming?"

"I don't know, Mrs Carla said her parents had been divorced for a long time and lived alone before moving to Mancaster. Her family is all in Ireland and she has no close relatives in this town. So, it's hard to tell her family any time soon."

"Is that so? You must be having a really hard time, aren't you? Getting so sleep deprived. David texted me to watch over you while he was working part time. You saw how he was in class, right? He's been helping you all the time. I think David is in love with you, Soraya!"

"Are you kidding? He's nice to everyone. Besides, I can't think of anything else right now. I have a headache and I want to sleep."

"Then, go back to the dormitory, I will ask Mr Robert's permission if you skip class today."

"What? So after this class?"

"Geez, you really forgot, huh? That's why you should just go home and rest! You can take his class next week!"

"No! I don't want to! I'm going to take his class today. You've already given me coffee and I'm sure I can endure this drowsiness until all of today's classes are over." She said confidently even though her eyes showed that she really needed to sleep soon.

Diana laughed amused at Soraya's childish behavior. It made her believe that Soraya had surpassed herself in being a Robert Stanley fan.

"Geez, you are! How stubborn, aren't you? He will still continue to teach at this university. Skipping a day won't be a problem. Especially, if you have a good reason for skipping, he can certainly understand it!"

"No! I don't want to! I will go ahead no matter what!" Soraya forced herself even though her head was resting on the table. She was still trying to fight the incredible drowsiness.

Meanwhile, at the table right beside them. A group of college students were talking about a rumor that was growing rapidly. No body know who started this rumor, but it is clear that this rumor has become the main topic that is always discussed by almost all students at the University, especially the art faculty.

A man sitting with a laptop in front of him opened a conversation that Soraya and Diana couldn't help but hear who were at the table next to theirs. The young man opened the website and read the new article which was released at 12 o'clock last night.

"Have you read the new article on the website? I think the owner of the website has given the website a pretty good name."

"Really? Oh yeah, you're right 'Enigma Of The Killer Lecturer' what does this mean? Killer? Isn't this going too far?" Said the curly haired boy.

A black-haired girl looks so surprised when I saw her phone screen which showed quite disturbing graphics. Her mouth opened, showing disbelief at what she had just seen.

"An object that is suspected to be a s*x doll has been found in a used box in the garbage disposal area around the St Louis estate, precisely in Block C. Isn't that the residential area where Mr Stanley lives?" Said the young woman. Her eyes glanced at her three friends who were as surprised as she was.

"That second hand s*x doll looks like a 10 year old girl. Oh my goodness, this is insane!"

"The garbage officer who found the object found traces of sperm around the genital area of ​​the doll which had been damaged on the neck and arms. According to CCTV around the residential area, at 2 am a tall man wearing a black coat and hat was seen throwing away the box containing the doll in the garbage dump. However, it's difficult to identify who the man figure was caught on CCTV."

Those who heard how the article was read were silent for a moment. Confused to believe or feel that this is an evil joke created by someone who is clearly irresponsible. The author of the article added his statement regarding the figure of the man caught on CCTV who was strongly suspected to be Robert William Stanley who lived in the residential area.

"The longer the article is published the more terrible it becomes. I believe this is the work of Mr Robert's enemies!" Chirps the blonde haired girl who looks angry after reading the article.

"Yes, I think you're right. It could be that this is the work of Mr Stanley's rival in the painting competition. He deliberately spreads strange rumors to bring down his opponent." Said the black haired girl. She was no less irritated and disturbed by this evil rumor.

Meanwhile, their three man friends didn't seem too agreeable. Judging how this article provides information and evidence that seems very reasonable if it is associated with the mysterious lecturer figure.

"But, I think there's a chance this news is true!"

"What do you mean?"

"Have you never visited a painting exhibition? If you look closely, you will surely find paintings of toddlers and underage girls being the objects of Mr Stanley's paintings. Isn't that strange? That he is very fond of collecting and collecting porcelain dolls that are unique and rare. In one of these articles also explained about his hobby? Isn't it strange and makes sense if Robert William Stanley has a s****l perversion."

"That makes sense too!"

"Don't talk carelessly! If he did have such a disorder, surely there must have been police reports of people who might have been his victims, right? But the truth is there was never any such news and he became very famous for his excellent work files. "

"Geez, women really can't see the truth, huh? Do you think how many murderers have been caught after so many years and the victims have even become bones? It all depends on one's level of intelligence. Some are not good at keeping their crimes, but some are so smart they haven't been caught in decades!"

"But still, we can't accuse someone without evidence. Besides, I was thinking, who is the person behind this article? Does he have anything to do with Mr Stanley?"

"How would we know that! But one day, we will surely find out. No matter how smart you are at storing carcasses, one day the stench will definitely smell too."

***

"No matter how good you are at storing carcasses, one day the stench will definitely smell too." The young man's words for some reason lingered in her mind. Soraya felt that the sentence was very suitable for the difficult situation she was in right now.

In front of her who was daydreaming, David kept watching and tried to attract her attention which seemed to have not returned from his subconscious.

"Soraya? Are you all right? Soraya?" David tried to greet her and snap her out of the daydream that had lasted almost the entire day.

"Soraya?"

"Ah, David? Are you talking to me?"

"Your total purchases are £35. Anything else?"

"N-no, nothing. That's all!" She said as she took a few bills from her wallet.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine! I'm just sleepy and after this I'll go straight home and sleep."

"You make me very worried. Yesterday I thought that the girl the ambulance picked up was you. But after seeing that you are okay, I feel very relieved."

"I'm fine, David! Thanks for worrying about me!"

"What's really going on? Even though you admit that you're fine, but I feel like you're a is in trouble. Tell me, what's wrong? I'll try to help you!"

"Nothing, everything is fine. You don't have to worry!'

"Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Okay, but it looks like you have to clear up the misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? What do you mean?"

"People who live around you say that shortly before the incident, they heard you fighting with Kerry Smith. After that they heard you screaming for help and some of them also saw blood coming out of Kerry Smith's wrist as well as a penknife. They made the allegation that it was you who had depressed and depressed Kerry Smith and decided to self-harm."

"What? Me? How could they think like that?" Soraya was shocked to learn that she had been suspected of being the cause of Kerry's suicide attempt.

"That's why I hope you'll tell me what really happened to set things straight before it gets any worse."

"I don't know anything! I don't understand why she did it either. We did argue, but-"

"Look, I don't care what you think, but I have to tell you you're in very big trouble. What happened to Kerry, it must be your fault. I'm sure you left her with no other choice. I will make you receive a very severe punishment!" Josh's threatening words flashed through her mind again.

Soraya fell limp, she felt much more afraid than before. She felt threatened and forced to remain silent. However, the rumors circulating make it seem like a suspect.

"Soraya? Tell me, what happened?"

"I'm fine, David. The problem was just a misunderstanding. I think Kerry also chose other issues that made her depressed. I should have been able to help her be a good listener. And, we're already roommates. I feel really sorry for ignoring her, after she gets out of the hospital and returns to the dorm, I will apologize to her."

"Soraya?"

"Okay, then I'll excuse myself. See you later?" She said as she hurried and lifted her feet from this place before David forced her to tell her what really happened.

Soraya ran towards the dormitory building as the rain started to fall, helping her to cover her tears. Soraya felt very disappointed to know that everyone thought of her as the cause of the problem.

Soraya stood in front of her bedroom door with a wet shirt. When he tried to open the door with the key, he felt something strange. The door wasn't locked, even though she was pretty sure she had locked it this morning.

"Unlocked? How come? I'm sure I locked it this morning. Did anyone come in? Kerry? No way, she's still in the hospital. But who?"

With trembling hands, Soraya slowly opened the bedroom door. Her eyes widened when she saw her room which was very messy like a thief had just arrived. The wardrobe opened and all her clothes were strewn on the floor and bed. Even some of the clothes were torn and exposed to mud.

Soraya frantically checked all her belongings. She couldn't find anything missing. However, some of her clothes had been torn off and deliberately stepped on with muddy shoes.

"Who did it?" She couldn't believe what had happened. Who would do this to her? Get into her room and ruin her clothes?

In the midst of panic, Soraya found something on her study table. A piece of paper written in blood.

'You will receive a painful torment. Bad girl must be punished, you will go to hell. I will definitely eliminate you before you can escape. If you want to be safe, follow the word and don't try to report this to anyone.'

Seeing how this threatening letter was written, Soraya was very sure that the culprit was Joshua, Kerry's lover. Soraya cried, she didn't think that she would experience all this.

Tears welled up in her eyes, she missed her family. For some reason, she began to regret her decision to stay away from her family just to get lost there as a spoiled girl who always depends on others.

Outside, it was raining heavily. It makes the autumn air cooler. The clothes she was wearing on her body began to dry. Soraya was still crying even though her head felt so dizzy. This problem made her very depressed, even though she had only been in this city for two months to become a student. But the loneliness she felt seemed like it had been years.

"Mom, what should I do? I didn't do anything wrong at all, but why? Why is this all my fault? Mom, Mom I want to go home."
