Unsolvable
When Emilia came home that day and the door was unlocked, it was obvious.
That something was very wrong.
And when she saw her dead mother.
And when she saw the unknown man at the corner of the room taken aback by her sudden presence,
And when the man did the three drops of blood test on her,
Emilia knew her mother was murdered.
Emilia knew the murderer was still around.
Emilia knew the only way to not get killed like her mother was to the feign innocence of an eight child.
And that the act of hers would make the murderer believe she does not understand life and death and does not understand what happened to her mother.
And that the murderer would believe it was safe to leave her be.
After Emilia called the police, she walked over to her mother's body and sat down.
Young Emilia
Mama...*sobs*
Young Emilia
Mama, I'm sorry*sniffs*
Young Emilia
I'm sorry I ignored you just now
Young Emilia
I'm sorry I didn't came home earlier.
Young Emilia
I'm sorry you passed on with a painful death.
Young Emilia
I'm sorry I was not around when you let out your last breath! *sobs*
Young Emilia
Instead, it was that freaking murderer!
Young Emilia
Murderer kill Mama.
Young Emilia
Mama killed by murderer.
Young Emilia
Emilia kills murderer.
A week later in the police department...
William
You called me, Sir?
Sergeant
Yes, take a seat.
William enters the office and took in his surroundings.
As he steps inside, the first thing that catches his eye is the tastefully designed reception area, adorned with polished marble floors and an elegant chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
It was one of those rare moments where an investigator police was being called into the office.
This probably means that the police had a case they could not solve.
And that they seek assistance from the investigating department.
The sergeant sat on a large leather chair that was sumptuously cushioned and designed for comfort, yet exudes an aura of authority.
William
(The chair also is complemented by the contrasting darker colours smaller chairs in front of the desk.)
Yes, thank you, William, for the observation.
William takes a seat on one of the chairs and stared at the sergeant.
William
Did the team have an unsolvable case again?
Sergeant
You know us surprisingly well, William.
Sergeant
Yes, we do...but this case is...
Sergeant
...most spectacularly puzzling.
Sergeant
Nothing like we have ever faced before.
William
Give me a brief description of the situation.
Sergeant
At around 7pm at night, a murder took place of a woman stabbed by a knife in the comfort of her house.
Sergeant
However, it was unlike a normal murder.
Sergeant
You see, her daughter came back home when he was still around but he did not kill her.
Sergeant
The woman's tongue was cut off.
