Tarn gradually awoke his sight to the road stretching beyond , then flicked his disgruntled stare at Phaya.
"Pull over to the sideways. I'll take the wheel!"
Never again letting Phaya drive , guessed he would have a heart attack and met his maker before arriving at the department.
"Hahahaha. I'm not teasing you anymore. Let me drive."
Tarn threw a glare at Phaya. Did Phaya need to pull stuff like this to wind him up ? Seeing Tar sitting mute , not bickering like he always used to , Phaya whirled to look at the other's side profile. Tarn was forming a sulking face in a sour mood. The driver reached out to mildly scratch under Tarn's chin.
"Sorry , sorry , i'll drive safely by now."
Tarn gave Phaya a hard look before snatching Phaya's espresso cup and hoovering up
"No more coffee for you , i'll drink it myself." That was fine for that risky play that almost shocked him to death 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAFWN3oMy
"You bought it for me , so it gotta be mine. You go sip your cappu..."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk6oKz7vd3
"CHCUKLE!"
Tarn forced a mirthless laugh in the throat and whisked away to the side view. You freakin chowhound. Phaya cracked a gleeful smile and held out to poke Tarn's arm but Tarn shook away. Phaya din't give up though , and voiced a pleading apology
"Please , don't be mad at me."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uASTyFM8U
"I'll quite being upset , but don't repeat such a reckless drive again. Our lives are worth more than to waste on a risky act like this."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk80LacEft2
"Aye , sir."
Tarn shook his head. He lifted his cap to a straw sip and went back to his former inquiry.
"So , what's happening at the department?"
And how significant was the case that caused them to present themselves even before the actual on set date?
"Try searching on the internet. Brutal murder of a rapist..."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDc3lzDuFG
"IS it in the news too?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdhbO9ii7
"Yep , Phi Yai said it's big news."
Tarn was about to bring up the phone to check it online , but Phaya handed it to him.
"I almost forgot...Use my phone and look it up in my email. Thongthai would have already sent the rundown in there."
Tarn took that phone into hand
"Your password?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7o2JeLC7Y
"xxxxxx"
Tarn tapped the number after Phaya's word. Once he unlocked the phone , he went straight to the email application and tapped on the latest message to read.
"How is that?" Phaya asked while keeping hsi eyes on the road.
Tarns scrolled through that brief information and zoomed in to take a closer look at the dead body's condition
"The victim had the sexual assault history ...Was tortured before being shot dead..."
This might have been worse than the drama 'Revenge' . The dead body's condition was horrible , to say the least , especially 'that' part...Wholly crumbled!
"Is it a serial killing?"
Tarn nodded.
"Yes , it is. This is the third victim..." What was even more unusual was "...And the murderer surrendered themselves to the police this morning." 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaQ9Hgandn
"Huh?"
Did he mishear anything? The murderer w ho committed three homicides surrendered themselves to the police. Phaya looked at Tarn in the eye.
"Seriously?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqHGfxFhVh
"Yes..That was all that Thongthai have sent."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIqYSA92JQ
"That's weird..." Phaya murmured.
Agree... This wasn't right at all
"A man or woman?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ov1DicyL
"A woman.."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIf61yInku
"That makes sense..."
The deceased was a rapist who had a criminal history. One of his victim might have harbored a grudge and hunted him down , but there was still something uncanny about it.
"We can't come to a conclusion just yet."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbRNFmK0K
"Right. We'll know it only when we get to the department."
Phaya calmly muttered. Tarn quickly stopped Phaya.
"Don't rush too much. I don't want to die."
Phaya laughed light heartedly. Tarn flashed a grim look at his driver in hatred and poked his fist at Phaya's shoulder.
You found joy when you scared me? Huh! Golden boy. You are just golden coated on the surface.
Tarn peeped at the clock. It was four in the evening. Winding through the traffic and being able to present himself at the Department of Investigation at this hour was the fastest jorueny they could possibly manage. Phaya slid his car up next to Phi Yai's burst forth from their vehicle , and abruptly scanned their badges to access the building.
JOLT!
Phaya and Tarn froze in their t racks when they saw a woman with long hair and a slender silhouette like a magazine model , stepping out of the restroom. She was adorned in a suit , her heart shaped face studying them before she exuded a faint smile.
"You two must be the remaining members of the team."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCvhhy7ez
"Are you..."?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CATqRm3y
"I'm your boss..."
She said and unfurled a smile as sovereign as a queen's decree. Tarn and Phaya exchanged their gaze and shifted back to the beauty queen before them in disbelief.
"You...You are Pol Capt Adjima?"
Tarn stuttered words as he was about to salut e, but her voice chimed in first.
"Uh huh. Let's go. It's no time to introduce ourselves yet. I want you both to have a look at the interrogation together."
Adjima or Som cordially asked Phaya and Tarn to join in. Both men followed he without further inquiring as their assigned case was for more prioritized. Adjima nudged the door to access the observation room , with Phaya and Tarn following her steps clsoe.
Tarn and Phaya walked toward Yai , Khem and Thongthai. They briefly greeted one another before resuming their attention to Singh and a woman in the room. She might have been the suspect.
"Thong...Plase give the case's overview to them."
Adjima stood with her arm crossed beside Thongthai ,w ho took charge of controlling the audio switch board as he tapped into the database to match up how much the suspect's confession stood up to scrutiny,
"Her name is Meena Pantasen. a twenty five year old social worker. She surrendered to the police three days after the dead body was found. She said she was the one who murder the victim , but because she had no choice. She... was forced to murder the victim."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIr8lnTEcC
"Does she have any proof to back up her murder and her coercion claim?"
Phaya questioned with a serious tone. Thongthai shook his head.
"Nothing."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNd5dRd6uO
"But her eyes don't look like she was lying." Tarn said
Adjima nodded
"No matter how this case will turn out , our duty is to investigate until we uncover the truth. Tell Singh to call it a day. We've been hammering her with questions , but her answer didn't change. I think it's no use to push her until we gather new leads to confront her."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7XUjYHbxZ
"Yes."
Thongthai responded to Adjima's command. He pressed the button on the headphone and said to Singh. Singh lightly nodded as he spoke to that woman to calm down and stay here until the officer escorted her to take a rest
"Meet me in the conference room after this." Adjima told her team433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFNyLWXHRe
"Yes , ma'am"
Everybody answered in sync. Adjima unveiled a glimpse of a pleasant expression before rotating on her feet and walking out the door.
Seems like this is not just an ordinary murder case.
