Ch 78 – Box of Lies

They opened it and entered.

“Helloooo?” asked Kyong as he curiously entered.

“Hey, who the hell are you?” gasped the man with big brows.

“He is a detective. Here to investigate the recent deaths in the confinement rooms” explained Aldart.

“What? Didn’t the other detectives already do that? They said they were done here and left.” grumbled the man with big brows.

Fushichin saw that the big browed man’s nameplate said “B.Polcart.”

“Well, they’ve done a half-baked job. I checked the rooms and found that the vent can be used to enter from one confinement room to the other and there is a secret door that’s installed that could be used by outside attackers to enter the confinement room.” yelled Hellen.

“What? Really?” pondered Polcart.

“Hey, Polcart. You have the confinement entrance surveillance footage and the 4th floor storage room footage, right?” asked Aldart.

“Oh, yeah. Sure sure.” said Polcart.

“Then let us and these detectives see it.” said Vernonia.

“Got it.” said Polcart.

Polcart went to the computer and tapped on a few keys on the keyboard.

“If I remember correctly. You want me to bring out the footage of September 15th and September 16th?” asked Polcart.

“Yes.” said Hellen.

Polcart did just that and turned the monitor to the detectives.

“This is the footage of the entrance to the solitary rooms, starting from September 15th - 18 pm.

September 15th

At 19:00 Vernonia and Aldart went inside Hori’s room with food in their hands.

At 19:02 Vernonia and Aldart went out and entered the other rooms.

At 19:10 Vernonia and Aldart exited the fifth confinement cell and went away.

Nothing whatsoever happened.

September 16th

At 9 am – Vernonia and Aldart went towards Hori’s room while carrying plate full of foods. They opened the door and quickly ran into the room, 6 detectives followed them into the room.

At 9:05 am – Vernonia and Aldart exited Hori’s room and entered Fasha’s room with three other detectives.

At 9:10 am – Vernonia and Aldart exited Fasha’s room and entered Blaire’s room with 3 detectives. 3 detectives exited from Hori’s room and entered Fasha’s room. Those 3 held a large bag and a backpack.

At 9:20 am – At this exact pattern, Aldart and Vernonia checked every room with the three detectives, while the following three checked the room left behind by the others until finally they exited the 5th room with their big bag.

At 12:10 pm – The six detectives, along with Vernonia, Aldart and Garron entered Hori’s room with a body trolley. Exited the room with a body that was covered in white tarp.

At 12:20 pm – The same group entered Fasha’s room and got the body out.

At 12:30 pm – They entered Blaire’s room, got out with the body.

At 12:40 pm – Entered Yulia’s room, got out with the body

At 12:50 pm – Entered Saran’s room, got out with the body.

At 16:00 pm – Garron, Vernonia, Aldart entered each room together and spent time there for approximately 5-7 minute each.

At 16:30 pm – Garron, Vernonia, Aldart entered Hori’s room and brought out a giant trash can, went into the other rooms to also pulled out other trash cans and exited the hall.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

At 16:50 pm – They arrived back and put the trash cans back in their place.

“Wait, what the hell was inside the trash cans?” asked Hellen, astonished.

“Oh, some toilet papers, bones from the meat they ate and empty hand sanitizer bottles.” said Vernonia.

“The ones that were used to burn the victims. You guys are really careless, huh” said Fushichin with narrow eyes.

“Hehe, but that’s not the only thing that is interesting about the footage. During body discovery some people were acting very suspiciously” said Kyong with a smirk.

“Who?” asked Hui Ying.

“The three detectives that were lagging behind everyone else. But I bet they weren’t on their own so that makes the entire detective team to be suspect?” said Casey with a smirk.

“Yes…that’s it! Those three were the ones to nail down the bookcase and the vent cover with screws.” said Hellen loudly.

“That is quite a troubling accusation. They are detectives just like you, right?” said Aldart with worry.

“I don’t care. They were definitely up to something.” said Hellen.

“And if I were to take an educated guess that giant bag that they were carrying likely contained an extendable ladder, drills and screws. They used to reach the vent covers and screwed the screws in.” said Fushichin.

“I guess that makes sense. I wouldn’t suspect Vernonia and Aldart of doing anything.” said Garron.

“And I also realized something else that is suspicious. Detectives aren’t the ones supposed to carry out the bodies! It’s always the medical team that come with the detectives that should do that.” said Hui Ying.

“Can you zoom into the faces of the detectives?” asked Hellen.

“Sure” said Polcart.

When the footage of the detectives exiting Hori’s room with Vernonia and Aldart was shown, Hellen brought out her top info tech and took a picture of the detectives from the footage.

She typed on the devices, looked at it and said “Saryu Brandon, head detective of the police squad A56. Philip Gustava, detective of police squad A56. Luhan Chandra, detective of police squad A56. Kyte Wilmert, Iran Laviski, Loyed Trusky are also detectives from A56”

“Ahh, I see. I guess we do need to pay a visit to squad A56, huh” said Fushichin brightly.

“Not now. We need to see the other footage. Of the 4th floor storage room. That’s the place that’s connected to the back of the solitary confinement cells, right?” asked Hellen aggressively.

“Yes. Let me just bring out the footage” said Polcart.

“The footage was shown starting from September 15th 9 am.

At 12 pm – A bunch of people arrived with bags on their back and put it against the wall.

At 14 pm – A carrier car arrived and put a giant wooden box against the wall and moved out.

At 16 pm – 2 people came into storage room, talked while they smoked and went away.

At 17 pm – A car parked in the storage room. Bunch of people came out of the back of the car and threw long wooden planks against the wall and went away.

September 16th

At 12 pm -A carrier car arrived and put a crate against the wall. This crate was far to the left side of the room in the corner. The carrier car went away

At 16 pm – The carrier car arrived and took away the first wooden box that was at the storage room.

After the footage was shown. the detectives silently pondered.

“See! Nothing suspicious happened. You kept saying the culprit used some magical hidden exit in Hori’s room. But we see nothing of that sort. Instead, the way was blocked by that wooden box. Nobody could have entered or exited.” said Aldart obnoxiously.

“You don’t have to rub it in their faces. They had good intentions” said Vernonia.

“You’re wrong. There is definitely something odd about this. The wooden box that was carried away was the suspicious thing.” said Hellen.

“What?” gasped Aldart.

“Think about it. That box was placed exactly where the hidden entrance was. Nobody was seen using the hidden entrance in this footage.”

“Exactly. The wooden box was blocking the so called hidden entrance. Nobody could have used that. Your theory is doofus” said Aldart with anger.

“No. That merely means that the people who used the hidden entrance were inside the wooden box!” said Hellen.

“Oh, nice! I get it now.” said Fushichin.

“This is ridiculous. You’re saying the attackers were inside the wooden box?” gasped Aldart.

“None of you checked, did ya? Then the freaking bastards kidnapped the women from inside the room and used a hole in the wooden box to enter back or something!” said Hui Ying.

“If a wooden box had a hole inside it then Jamil would notify us!” said Aldart with anger.

“Jamil?” asked Kyong.

“The guy who is riding the carrier car. His name is Jamil. I don’t think he is the type of guy to ignore a wooden box that had a hole inside it” said Aldart.

“Tch, having a lot of faith in your coworkers huh. Why do you act like you know others that well?” said Fushichin.

“Ugh, shut up. Your logic is just preposterous, that’s all” said Aldart.

“It’s not! And it doesn’t have to be a hole. If the wooden box had a part of its wall be able to be removed as well as detached back, they would be able to be carried without being detected!” said Hellen.

“Come on, that’s ridiculous.” grumbled Aldart.

“It doesn’t matter what you say. We’re gonna investigate that wooden box.” said Dimitri.

“Yeah, where is that box? Where did your Jamil guy carry that box to? Isn’t the point of putting the box inside the cargo room is to extract the contents inside it? Super weird to just carry it away.” said Fushichin.

“I’ll look towards where the wooden box was taken.” said Polcart.

The camera footage switched from 4th floor to the 3rd floor, the forklift machine seemed to come from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor. Then it went to the second floor, then the first floor. There were a few people on the first floor. Two men seemed to be talking to Jamil as they waved their hands to the truck. The truck had its back open and the forklift carrier put the wooden box inside the truck and went away.

The truck then moved out of the first-floor garage and went out of the prison.
