Chapter 18: Third Part

“Leila, are you free today? Do you want to go out with me?” Raymond patted Leila on her back in late morning. Ron had left her house much earlier to report for work.

Leila turned to meet a beaming Raymond.

“What’s up? Why are you so happy and energetic today?” Leila spoke in glee as well.

“You are in a good mood too, aren’t you? I just managed to achieve some success in my big plans…!” Raymond winked.

“Congratulations!” Leila wrapped her arms around Raymond’s neck. “You treat then?”

“Sure!” Raymond then led Leila to his car. He had planned to charm her, with plans to stay at a luxurious resort today, with activities such as water-skiing and sun-tanning as well as seafood buffet and fireworks display.

“Ron, I will be out of Desiderata today. Going out with one of my besties! Take care and love you. Hugs and Kisses.” Leila messaged Ron as she followed behind Raymond, not knowing what was really lying ahead of her.

She was going to become a secret weapon of Raymond’s unknowingly…

“This is so gross!” May went out to puke as Samuel chased after her to ensure that she would be alright.

A young lady was brutally murdered in her apartment, in another area which was under the district which was under Ron’s charge.

Her neck was slashed with a huge cooking knife. Her eyes were wide open in shock. Her clothes were ripped and there were red marks on several parts of her body. Her handbag was thrown at a distance away from her, her handphone dismantled into pieces and fragments, most probably due to the hard impact when the handphone crashed onto the hard concrete floor.

“This is indeed disgusting.” Nixon commented as he went on collecting evidence. Alex was working to get the murderer to stay away from the crowd of reporters as well as the crime scene. The murderer’s name was Mr Redrum. He had been convicted of rape and molesting and was just released not long ago.

Apparently, he had followed the deceased home. “I wanted to touch her only!”- That was what the murderer had said. However, things got out of hand.

A young lady with a bright future was dead. The ex-criminal who had been released and could have been living a better life was now doomed.

“Alex, check if he is taking any drugs!” Ron ordered as he noticed the shifts of gazes of the man. His hands were trembling and he seemed to be in an ecstatic mood rather than an agitated mood. “Inform Myolie, if there is a need to!”

Ron inspected the apartment which was in a mess. Signs of struggles were obvious. The magazines and newspapers were scattered on the floor. Cups and plates were thrown onto the kitchen floor as well. Fragments and pieces of glass lay on the floor, shining under the light, as if mocking at Ron and laughing at the happening of the brutal event.

Something then caught Ron’s eyes.

It was another piece of photograph. It was on the floor, beside the man’s jacket left on the floor. Most probably, he had been trying to get himself naked in front of the deceased. Ron refused to imagine the scenes at that point of time. The look on the deceased’s face was haunting enough, despite his past experiences with brutal deaths. Such naked feelings of real shock left on the faces of the deceased were still rather rare and hard to accept.

Ron picked the part of the photograph up and scrutinised it.

“A picture of a nose? How did that come about?” His eyes shifted to the man who was still grinning like an idiot, mumbling and shouting to no one in particular, “her skin was so perfect! Her eyes were like stars! Her lips were so tempting! I just want her so much but she… That idiotic woman…” Then, the man laughed. His laughter sounded so piercing to Ron’s ears.

Ron slid the photograph into his pocket even though he knew he was not to do it.

“Mr Redrum… Such an interesting name given to him but he is such a horrible person!” Ron pondered and thought why the name was so familiar. Chills ran down his spine.

“Mr Redrum… Ron, isn’t this name cool? If you spell it backwards, it will be murder!” Tavia’s giggles could be heard distantly.

“Amazing Tavia and her crime mysteries plots!” Raymond applauded, chortling along with Tavia.

“No way…” Ron steadied himself.

“Tavia is dead…Raymond?” Ron wondered.

He needed to piece all the pieces together. He took out his handphone and saw Leila’s message.

“Leila… Tavia… Leila… Tavia… Raymond…” Ron’s mind was in an entire mess. His past and present memories and his loved ones were all pictured in his mind. A dreadful feeling crept through his body. He had not contacted Raymond or seen him for too long…until he seemed to have forgotten about his existence.

Ron rushed back to the police station.

“One, two, three and four…” Ron put together the black piece at the corner and the nose in between the two pieces of beige.

“This is a photograph of a face. Whose? Tavia?” Ron stared hard at the outline of the nose. However, he could not be sure. He did not want to be certain too.

“I need the eyes and the lips. Does that mean that there will be two more such cases? Oh… What’s wrong with me?” Ron sighed and breathed hard. His chest ached.

“Boss, Mr Redrum was really taking drugs!” Nixon and Alex shouted.

“What?” Ron dashed out and snatched the report file from his subordinates.

“Let’s meet Myolie now, guys! Get ready. This Mr Redrum needs a severe punishment. He should not be able to survive for long…” Ron was pissed off with himself and had to vent his anger out, with the cold and harsh words. Alex and Nixon eyed each other before rushing with their boss.

Someone eyed them and messaged his accomplice.

“He seemed to be getting angry and panicky. I think he did figure out something now. Not too bad…but just too late.”

The accomplice smirked confidently at the message he received.

“Well, too bad for him. He deserves this. I am going to make sure he will regret this totally. Prepare that lady for the forth round. I will be doing the final preparations soon. We should keep going at this pace so that he cannot breathe…Ciao! (Goodbye)”

The accomplice replied to that someone.
