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 b.a.s.t.a.r.d 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 wis.h.i.+ng 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……       -h.e.l.lo, 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 appet.i.te. I think I found something more interesting, so I’m just watching it. I’m wis.h.i.+ng 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 relations.h.i.+p.”   “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 pa.s.sing 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?”
  In the house’s garden, compare to normal house it’s pretty big but looks older, an old lady was holding a pair of secateurs to cut off the branches. On her circular and chubby face, it was full of tiredness, so Tim and Jude carefully approached her after getting off from the car. Because there was a sudden sound of people, she got surprised, and on her face, it was full of fear. She stepped back and held her pair of secateurs at them. Tim quickly showed her his police badge.   “We are the police. You reported, right?”   “Ah…. Yes, ah, um, come in.”   The face that was probably happy and gentle before now had shadow of wariness and some dispirited. She put down her pair of secateurs and roughly wiped her hands with her ap.r.o.n. They followed her guide and went inside the old house. The interior looked like it won’t have any furniture that's less than 10 years old. The two detectives set in front of the old table, and the old lady put down two tea cups in front of them with long sigh of worry and sat across from them. Her voice was little lowly hoa.r.s.e.   “I’m sorry. These days there are some horrible things happening…. My name is Marsha Rice. You can just call me Marsha. I’m the wife of Martin Rice. Since there is no one but me in the house, you guys have to hear the story from me.”   “I’m Tim and this friend is Jude. So, can you explain to us what happened?”   Once more there was a long sigh. The lady who had her eyes closed and pressed her forehead against her hand soon opened her eyes half-way and opened her mouth.   “Actually I hope someone comes and explains to me too…… The day my father-in-law and my niece disappeared are five and three days ago. When my father-in-law disappeared, I thought he went fis.h.i.+ng with his friends without telling us, but when Jane also disappeared, something felt weird. It did not look like a coincidence. As you can see, this place is a small public place that if something happens, at least one person would know. But no one knew where they were. I feel like I got possessed by a ghost…. My children are nervous, and my mother-in-law, my husband, and Ret….. Ret is my younger brother and father of Jane. Those three are dejectedly waiting for my father-in-law and Jane’s return.”   “Was there a big fight with someone recently?”   “No, definitely not. There is no unfriendly neighbor, and we never argued. Just…. Because of money issue, we had an argument with our relative, but it, it wasn’t that big to do this to our family. It…. wasn’t that kind of a fight that would cause this.”   “Perhaps, do you know where they went before they disappeared?”   The lady shook her head right away. She had a painful expression that she couldn’t answer the question. Her pale lips opened precariously.   “I don’t know. Both of them went out in the morning, but Jane didn’t come back after her school. We asked her friends, but no one knew after they got separated. This neighborhood doesn’t have kids in her age. There is no one walking with her to the school, so we don’t know anything until she comes back.”   “How about your father-in-law?”   “My father-in-law went out early in the morning. He had a plan to meet with his friends for lunch in downtown, but he went out little earlier. He was actually that kind of a man. But when I asked his friend, they said he didn’t even come to the meeting place. Up to that point, I was little nervous, but I wasn’t sure. But two days later after Jane disappeared, I couldn’t think of anything…… There was no ransom call. They just disappeared……!”   Jude stared at the lady who covered her mouth with her ap.r.o.n to hide her frowning lips with full of emotion. He turned and had an eye contact with Tim. Is there anything else we can get? No, except for the victims’ names, she doesn’t know anything. Okay, then let’s look around. Her eyes were all red, and Tim carefully talked to her.   “Then, can we get that relative’s name and address? We will tell you right away if there is further information about the case.”     “Okay, she’s my mother-in-law’s younger sister. Her name is Liz…..” --------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh new case! I wonder what happened and what will happen?!!
