After having found the specialists dead in the monitoring room, I called the agency so that they may clean the place and analyze the bodies. What the in the hell could have happened? They were inside the room which cannot be accessed without a password, how is it that they were killed? This question haunted me the rest of the evening, maybe the cameras from inside the room have the answer I am looking for…, unfortunately I cannot access them until the team finishes up cleaning, the damaged monitors are the least of my concerns, the point here is how did he do it?...
Then after a few hours they finally finish with the cleaning labors and replacing the equipment that was damaged, so I quickly inquire in the system looking for the camera recording of the room which was installed precisely in case something like this were to happen, so I hope that these men sacrifice was not in vain…
-Guty: Let's see…
I analyze the database of the surveillance camera until I find the one I am looking for, so I reproduce the recording fast forwarding to the moment of the killing, I cannot help to get a bit excited to think that finally I may have something that will lead me directly to the killer, unluckily… what I see in the video is something I thought was not possible to happen.
-Guty: What?!
For no apparent reason, the two agents started arguing with each other inside the room until words turned to blows, sadly… the fight did not end there, suddenly Agent Carter pulled out his gun shooting his teammate Agent Milton who managed to react in time to shoot his aggressor and taking his life before losing his…
-Guty: You gotta be fucking kidding me.
The agents killed each other for no reason, how is that possible? Impressed by what happened I decided to look further back into the video, however nothing strange occurred that would justify such actions, until nearly 11:00 in the morning, an hour before break time, where agent Carter went outside the room for approximately an hour but when he came back, he turned aggressive towards Milton…
-Guty: What happened at that time that turned Carter mad?
Listening to the audio of the video, Carter did not mention anything that was useful to me, only commented that he would go out for fresh air…, there is nothing behind that…, I lean back in the chair taking a deep breath.
-Guty: Ah… this can't be…
Afterwards I remember there is a hidden camera located on superior part of the outside of the door where I inquire about anything that might have happened outside, unfortunately the recording did not give me much, only Carter is visible coming back to the room quietly but in a hurry…
-Guty: It's a dead end…
Without more to do, I give the instruction to the two new agents to install cameras in the neighboring areas of the school, maybe there is something happening nearby that I need to be aware of, once all preparations were done I return to my apartment to relax a bit, its 9:15 in the night so I undress to take a relaxing hot bath…, in Japan hot tubs are very common which I do not pay much attention since my personal preference is the shower, but today was a really exhausting day and a hot bath would be just the thing to relief from all of it.
-Guty: Ah…
Once the tub is full, I slowly dive under the surface of the water, allowing it to cover all my body…, the sensation is truly relaxing… that I should be careful not to fall asleep in here, I would be foolish to avoid all those past dangers just to drown in a tub.
-Guty: This was the most exhausting day I've ever had.
I lean back my head in the edge of the tub trying to avoid thinking even for just a moment about all that has happened, focusing only in how nice the hot water feels and the warmth it brings to my body…
-Guty: Ah… this is fantastic…
After 20 minutes, I decide it's enough and I get out of the tub, drying myself with a towel to peacefully head over to my room.
-Guty; I think I relaxed way too much.
After a nice bath, a nice meal would not be so terrible… so I take time to prepare a nice stake with a glass of wine…
-Guty: Turned out better than I expected.
When I finished, I prepare my things for the next day and I go to sleep, perhaps another exhausting day awaits me tomorrow but for the time being… sleeping is more than enough, I sleep all night regaining lost strength.
The next morning, I calmly head over to wait for the bus with a cup of coffee in hand as I usually do, I wait around 10 minutes before the bus arrives, it is incredible the punctuality of these drivers…, when I climb up, I head over to an empty seat as I drink some of my coffee.
-Guty: This reminds me that Akasha will be late today…
During the rest of the drive I focused only in drinking my coffee, when my mind was assaulted by the message I received the other day in that envelope…<
-Guty: It's too soon…
The time would not suffice for me to progress enough and discover him, I will have to switch tactics…; Going to class every day represents a loss of time for my investigation since nothing really happens during class except for the incident with the teacher killing himself… starting today I will stop attending class, only will take Physics to hand over Akasha's notes, after that, I will investigate during class.
When I arrived at school I proceeded according to plan, I took physics class and handed over Akasha's homework, when class ended I calmly left the room, I need to clear my mind and leave behind the stress of knowing that I only have three days to find the killer… without a doubt that is what he wants, he is trying to make me desperate and force me to make a mistake that would leave me out of the game… unfortunately for him I have always liked playing the game to my tempo no matter what others think so I sit down in one of the benches in the hallway to think and evaluate the situation…
-Guty: There is no use in stressing over this…
While The rest of the students get ready to attend the next class, I remain in silence in the bench, trying to find a reference that would lead me closer to the killer's identity, even if it's just a little.
-Guty: I have no lead; I haven't found any solid clue that would lead me to him.
In that moment, an explosive revelation came to me…
-Guty; Wait… I don't have a lead, despite the horrendous and violent scenes of the killings, I don't have any.
It was then where I realized that I has impossible that there was no lead in such murders What happened with the machete which was used to kill that student? Someone must have taken it…, it took it in the same way he has been taking away all other things, why are the blood messages cleaned so quickly? So that classes may continue? No, no way! The reason is so no one can take any blood samples from them, what happened to Kintaro's cellphone? Which had on it the history of the number of whomever forced him to kill himself, I was so focused on trying to save him that I completely forgot about it… but someone did not…
-Guty: That's it!
There is only one person capable of performing such delicate tasks of service, someone who can roam this school and clean everything without raising any suspicion, and that person is the one in charge of disposing of all the evidence…
-Guty: Now everything makes sense.
Without losing another second, I get up from the bench and take out my backpack from the classroom, if I am right this will make this infinite loop to finally break, without saying a word I head over to the principal's office at full speed, I have many questions for him…
Despite having been in his office in past occasions the path to it seems longer than usual, I continue my trajectory ignoring everything that's going on around me, right now I am tracking a possible suspect…
-Guty: I'm here…
When I am finally in front of the office, I knock on the door repeatedly, but apparently, he is not inside.
-Guty: Damn it!
Afterwards I go to his secretary to inquire about any information regarding the principal's location, but unfortunately, she does not know either where he might be, it would seem as if the one chance I must quickly catch the one responsible is getting more complicated.
-Guty: I will have to access the school's system from my laptop…
I take out my computed from my backpack and I connect to the school's network, quicky directing myself to the staff database where I find the face, I am looking for…
-Guty: Good, in this moment he must be on the third floor…
I quickly close the laptop and sprint to the third floor, searching in each of the classrooms where class is currently in session; if the information from the school's system is accurate one of these classrooms should be free at this time…
-Guty: This one!
When I arrived at the classroom, I was looking for I quickly open the door, however, the place is completely empty, all indicated that the person I was looking for has finished cleaning this area.
-Guty: Damn…
Despite having failed the first attempt, I am not one to give up so easily, so I get out of the room and look in the remaining ones. When I am about to reach the last one, I see a sign next to a room that reads << Janitor room, authorized personnel only>> without much thought I open the door and inside I find the one I was looking for.
-Guty: You must be Wilbert…
-Wilbert: Students are not allowed in here, please get out.
He tries to get rid of me with that stupid comment, but once reached this point the jokes and pleasantries are off the table, so I grab him by the neck and slam him against the wall.
-Guty: I am not here to play your games! You will tell me who is ordering you to eliminate all the evidence from the killings in this school.
-Janitor: I don't know what you are talking about!
He is trying to make me hesitate, but I made sure to confirm his areas of work and there is no doubt those are under his responsibility, besides I confirmed his attendance to the days of the incidents, for which his words have no foundation.
-Guty: So, you don't know eh…
A strong knee to the stomach might help him remember what happened…
-Janitor: Goah!
The blow is so strong that weakens his knees, making him drop to the ground while he coughs and spits repeatedly.
-Janitor: Ah… ah… you are mistaking me for someone else… I am not the man yo…
In that moment a strong kick to the face silences him immediately…
-Janitor: AHHH!
