The Tape Recorder #1
“Someone will kill me. There are three individuals. First, Gorg, the tall and white-bearded man, intends to decapitate me because I sold the Tiamat Dragon miniature. He is a rare goods merchant and used the miniature as collateral. It's his own fault for owing me 10 million dollars. Second, Lady Debussker, the owner of bar "717," promised to kill me today after I exposed her scandal. It's her own fault for keeping me waiting until 4 pm without giving me the money. Third, Marmony, the pierced gay man, said he would slit my throat around 10 am. And indeed, he did it, as you can see the shattered glass around. Because of that, I will reveal this. The pierced man is the biggest drug dealer.”
.
The tape recording was found on the ground floor in the living room. The victim was seated with stab wounds in the right and left chest. His mouth had been forcefully gagged. The wounds were severe and smelled of gunpowder. Just as the recording stated, it was truly a gunshot wound.
.
Detective Cornelimpton expressed his frustration. He was one of the many famous detectives in London known for his perfectionism, intelligence, and honesty. He had even solved a planned murder case against the Vindlandys family's housemaid, spiced up with a plot of intrigue. Scotland Yard also had high hopes for him, after the "Duo Pusscat" and the owner of Moncake Shop. However, a few unsolved cases had left him somewhat disheartened. Perhaps it was due to his perfectionist attitude.
.
The victim's name was Albert Tabios, a billionaire from London, who died in a gruesome state around 10 am in the living room. His personal butler stated that Mr. Tabios was a generous person, and the 12 beautiful and sweet maids confirmed the same. Although it was somewhat strange, Albert Tabios had not yet married, even at the age of 63.
.
Detective Cornelimpton mentioned that the victim had consulted him over the past month. Because Cornelimpton was an honest person, he wanted his client to reveal all the secrets he had kept. Thus, three individuals were summoned with their respective testimonies. Here is their testimony data:
.
1. Fiddlehead Tomy, a left-handed person, 47 years old, admitted that he did plan to decapitate the victim today because the Tiamat Dragon carving could be sold for 1 billion dollars. The statue carving was one of only 20 in the world. Tomy claimed that a week ago, he had discussed with the victim his intention to repay the 10 million dollars he had borrowed a month ago. He wanted to settle it to avoid the accumulating interest. Tomy assumed that the victim took advantage of the interest because he always avoided repayment.
.
Tomy stated that he couldn't have committed the murder because from 9 to 11 am, he was meeting with a client to discuss one of his antique items.
.
Meanwhile, the Tiamat dragon statue was in the victim's room and looked impressive. It had five heads, each with its own color: red, blue, green, violet, and a golden-yellow central head. Its dimensions were approximately 20 x 30 x 19. Interestingly, the statue carving resembled one that had gone missing from a Chinese billionaire's collection.
.
2. Giorni Debussker, the owner of bar "707" instead of "717." People often misinterpret the numbers 1 and 0, considering that in the sign, they are replaced by a silhouette of a sexy woman wearing a rubber float. Whatever it may be, Debussker is a beautiful woman with accompanying issues, such as violations of child labor and smuggling of illegal goods.
.
Debussker admitted that many have sued her, but they have never been successful. And she herself claimed that the issue mentioned in the Tape Recorder was about her fifth fiancé. She was afraid that the issue of her alleged affair with the victim would be exposed.
.
Debussker stated that from 8 to 10 am, she was in a meeting in Scotland to discuss the opening of branches in two locations.
.
3. Donita Benelliot, the woman with male hair, expressed her frustration because the Tape Recorder stated that she was a man. Physically, there were indeed piercings on her nose and tongue, apart from her two ears. Donita stated that the victim was also a drug dealer before the police finally arrested him and dragged him into the holding vehicle. The evidence was found in the Yorkshire warehouse, Dunn Warehouse Estate, approximately 20,000 tons of methamphetamine and 5,000 tons of crystal meth.
.
Donita admitted that she had actually planned to kill Albert, but today, from around 6 am until now, she had handed it over to her subordinates to deal with other police in Yorkshire. It seemed as if someone had planned it all.
.
The body was found at 12 noon in the back living room near the garden. The place was only accessible through one door, so nobody realized it except Albert, who called his personal butler. The problem was, Detective Cornelimpton, whose intuition detected something suspicious, immediately instructed the victim's personal butler to check the condition.
The victim's personal butler was Mr. Dortmontly, an old man who had been loyal to the Tabios family for quite a long time. Mr. Dortmontly stated that the victim was not really regarded as a good person, but his principle was honesty.
.
Within an hour, the other two individuals were thoroughly investigated and ended up in the same situation as Donita Benelliot, being taken into custody.
.
Fiddlehead Tomy, as it was proven that he used the alias Gorg the white-bearded man, had committed fraud in the auction of counterfeit bidding data. Worst of all, he was proven to have deceived the Tiamat Dragon Miniature.
.
Giorni Debussker, on the other hand, was proven to have planned the murder of her fifth fiancé in order to exploit their wealth with a disgusting plot.
.
Meanwhile, Donita turned out to be an Interpol fugitive named Marmony, who had been involved in smuggling illegal drugs worldwide.
.
Everyone was captured and dragged into the case, but no one could prove who was responsible for Albert Tabios' life at the moment.

Inspector Collata, a strong and beautiful woman who led the team at that time, could only furrow her brows.
.
"What's the matter, Inspector Collata?" Inspector Cornelimpton asked his friend.
.
"Hah, this way the police once again add another record of unsolved cases..."
.
"Well, let's look on the bright side. The media will broadcast 3 catchy headlines."
.
"I hate math."
.
"Besides, take the opportunity to treat me to a premium steak restaurant. Aren't you interested in going on a date with me?" Cornelimpton teased the sturdy female inspector, despite his muscular arms capable of leaving traces of regret on someone's face.
.
"Is that the trend these days? Where women treat men?"
.
"No, it's where a big celebration awaits."
.
The incident concluded around 7 p.m., and Inspector Colatta did eventually treat Detective Cornelimpton, although only at an Italian pasta restaurant.
.
That night, while embracing her pillow, Inspector Colatta pondered one thing.
.
"Why is Cornelimpton so calm today? Usually, if one case remains unresolved, he would grumble for days..."
.
"Ah, humans can change quickly." She fell asleep.
