The after was somehow got completed. He had the recorded proof. It had little bit of empty time, but it was decided that Jude’s explanation was acceptable. “So, this bastard threatened you, and after telling his childhood story, he killed himself by stabbing himself to his neck?” with his boss’s question, Jude casually said, “Yes.” Who knows if Jude had some guiltiness in him? The police was satisfied that a big case got solved, and Jude didn’t have anything annoyed him…. No, it seemed like he won’t have it. It was rather Tim who bothered him. After hearing his partner’s news through the phone, he ran to him right away. After checking that he’s okay, he made Jude astounded by screaming at him. “Are you stupid?! If you had a hunch, you should’ve came with me. Why did you go by yourself?!” “Uh? Ah, so, Tim……” “Are you the only detective? Are you? I couldn’t be that trusted? Is that why you went alone?!” “No, Tim, it’s not like that……” Jude perplexedly looked at extremely mad Tim. Jude scratched his cheek and said it timidly unlike him. “Ah, I’m sorry. I was trying to just record the evidence. I didn’t know he was gonna suddenly turn out like that. And I thought it was good to go by myself to get the confession….. How should I say this, if you go knowing Lloyd is the killer, um, you are too kind or too honest? I thought you were gonna show too much, and I thought if both of us go, it would pressure him too much….. I didn’t mean bad.” Tim stared at Jude sullenly for a while and sighed like a parent who has a troublemaking child. He rubbed Jude's hair with his big and skinny hand. “Next time, go after telling me what’s going on. So I can go in as a backup if you don’t come out for a long time.” Jude smiled like he felt sorry and nodded his head. A little cloudy and uncomfortable day, the case got closed, and he liked how he could take time drinking his coffee and eating his sandwich, but one voice rang in his ear. Not the madness confession that the criminal cried out. It was quiet blue grey’s voice. Where there is an interesting murderous intent. “At the end, you were wishing for a stimulus…..” He murmured like it’s nothing with his sleepy voice and ate his sandwich. -And it wasn’t that much later where Jude got involved in that ‘interesting murderous intent’ again. It is rare to have a serial killer that thrills one generation and gets written on a criminology book as a bold words in the chapter contents. But underneath the surface, there are definitely serial killers kill quietly without getting noticed. And those people’s methods are very diverse. If they get hooked on one method, they get obsessed with it. There are variety of killing method: poison, strangulation, stabbing, beating, and more, but one thing for sure is extremely cruel or humane homicide does not exist…… -Hello, It’s obvious, but I’m still traveling. I think it’s true that traveling is better than staying at home. There are way more things to see and fun things happening. Rather I like now than before. I have appetite. I think I found something more interesting, so I’m just watching it. I’m wishing it doesn’t get bored too soon. I’m hoping it will make me more interested than that man before, but who knows. I’m not sure how it will turn out. It’s been a while since we saw each other. I’m curious how the detective is. If you’re okay we should meet someday. Of course, I will be the one who going to you. I don’t dislike that much that the detective is still a detective. Then I’ll write again. -Alvin Johns *** “It’s already two people gone missing?” -He is such a diligent guy. Jude insincerely folded the third letter that comes regularly once a week in his pocket. Jude asked Tim who was driving next to him. Tim looked at Jude who put away the letter little uneasily and answered with a small trace of anxiousness. “Yeah. It looks like a big family that's pretty rare to see these days. I heard parents and children, grandparents, uncle and nephews and nieces live all together. They reported because suddenly grandpa and one niece disappeared one after another.” “What was their name? Ra..Ra….: “Rice family. It’s the family that lives apart from the city. You know those places where there aren’t that many neighbors, but they all have good relationship.” “Ahhh. The place where city people want to go after they retire.” Jude rhythmically shook his head following the old pop song coming out from the radio and looked at the outside view. If they drive little bit outside of the city, the view changes to countryside very fast. After passing the banner of the town’s name with a simple font and plain ground with neat gardens, Tim slowly pressed on the brake and checked for the address. “It’s this place.” “Oh, the house is pretty big.” “Think about the size of the family. If it’s not this big, won't it be really tight for them?”
