Winter
"So you said that Juvia Dela Cruz shoot herself and Johan Montes hung himself?" Flow discuss while I and Eu were sitting on the couch, he finally agreed on Flow's helping us on solving this case in shadow.
"It was odd that Juvia shoots herself in the center of her head and not that on the temple. That was a shred of great evidence to tell that she was been killed and not a suicide." she analyzes, as I thought we have the same insight on the two incidents.
She sat on the Monoblock chair and stare on the floor. "You said..." she raised her head and look at me, I just wait on her to finish her words, "You think that Johan has been lifted and put over their cabinet right? So it could be two killers..." I stop her.
"Maybe the killer was a man," I added.
"How are you so sure?" Eu asks me. I can feel that at this point the three of us still couldn't agree on each other's idea. We still have some conflicts on teamwork and I understand that Eu was used to working only with me but he needs to be nice with Flow as well.
"A Basketball player has been lifted over the cabinet to seat up to his death and a high school girl can't lift a guy like that," I explain, Eu just nods at my idea and didn't say something.
"Like what I said earlier there's also a possibility that we have two or more killers that could carry a man, and there are still possibilities that a killer is a man. Let's not forget those facts." Flow insisted.
"If it was a girl it may be big women that have the strength to lift a man, right?" Eu gets a black soda from the center table and drinks it after he said that. It was unfortunate that we didn't even know the gender of the killer or killers.
"Does the Campos police already look into the CCTV of the school premises, especially on the scene of the crime?" Flow asks. I always forget to ask that to Inspector Rowan, I know that there's one CCTV on the rooftop and a lot of CCTV on every hallway in dormitories.
"We will ask that to Inspector Rowan later," Eu answer her question.
"If we could find some evidence that there's was really a killer it will be easy to find out if the killer was a man or a woman." Flow was right, right now we are just assuming that there is a killer that responsible for the continuous suicide incidents but we are not yet sure.Eu suddenly looks at his risk watch and look at me. "We have to go now, Winter. Inspector Rowan was waiting for us at their office." I look at Flow and she just nods at me. Eu and I stand up in synch.
"Let's meet later after your investigation." Flow said before we leave the room.
Eu was silent o our way out in the dormitory, the weather was nice on a Saturday noon and a cold breeze was refreshing. I know Eu was a little disappointed with my action these past few days and I accidentally made him feel that I build a wall between us but I was just preoccupied to notice that, until last night.
I stop from walking, normally when I do that Eu usually stops to check on me but right now he just continues walking and didn't even look back. He was my childhood friend and I know him very well but I just suspect him to be the killer just because of what Inspector said about Eu's argument with Juvia before it commits suicide. Then suddenly Eu stops and turns his head on me.
"Winter!" he called me. I walk slowly to him, I'll admit I was wrong on suspecting him and easily trust Flow that I only meet when we become roommates on our first year here in Crimson.
"I'm sorry, Eu!" I said while looking straight in his eyes. He raises his left eyebrow.
"For what?" He asks softly. He wasn't wearing an eyeglass right now but instead, he was wearing a contact lens, a light brown contact that suits him well. His hair was messy but still, look fine with him. He was kind of different when he was in his uniform and when he was wearing a casual.
"For suspecting you..." I directly said. He wasn't shocked, I guess he was aware that I was suspecting him. I'm too obvious.
"It's fine!" He said in a cold voice. I start walking again but he holds my hands so I stop and turn to him. I look at his hand that was holding mine and then look at him again.
"I will never like Flow because the one I like was you..." Chills run from my arms through my neck. Did I hear him right or I have a problem hearing that I was hearing things that don't make sense?
I pull my hand back and force a smile. "I will act that I didn't hear anything from you right now," I said and walk as fast as I can away from him. This is not the right time to feel for someone, we are just in high school, and solving this mystery was my priority and it wasn't right that he has feelings for me while he already knows that Flow likes him.
"Winter, please!" he shouted but I continue walking till I reach the office. Inspector was startled by my sudden appearance but what he was watching catch my attention more.
He was sitting on Officer Montalban's working table and he was watching some clip on a laptop, I don't know if it was his or the laptop belonged to officer Montalban. I walk closer to him and he was just watching my reaction and not on the laptop that continues playing. It was CCTV footage that shows the hallway of the boy's dormitory. The date on the left upper side of the video is the night of Johan commit suicide.
In the video, a guy is wearing a black hoodie jacket and black jeans it was facing in the opposite direction of the camera but I was certain that I was a guy and on my estimate, he has the same height as I am. Then the guys suddenly knock on Johan's door and just in a few second Johan open the door and let the guy enter. But no one leave and Inspector already fast forward the video but no one leaves the room till Lester came and open the door using his own key and after entering the room he gets out and runs, maybe to asks for help.
"See that?" The inspector asks me. I just nod. It wasn't Lester and it was clear that Johan knows the guy who came that night that he easily let it in. But the question is why no one leave the room till Lester came and discover the body?
"Before Lester came, no one leaves the room. What do you think?" Inspector Rowan ask me again.
"Can we check their room again? There's a possibility that there was a secret passage and that's where the killer uses to leave the room." I responded, Eu came and he looked so tired.
"Inspector Rowan... there's another victim!" he said in between his breath. My eyes got wind open in this belief. Inspector Rowan suddenly stands up.
"Where?" He asks Eulliyer.
"It's in the pool..." The inspector didn't let Eu finish his words he just run. I follow Inspector Rowan and run.
