Death Slice
Chapters 14. What exactly is it?

"Can't this masked killer be caught sooner?" Ask the police chief to detectives Vio and Ical who are resting while calming their minds.

The police chief walked slowly closer to the two of them sitting at their respective desks.

Detective Vio answered the police chief's question quite calmly. He said the case was different from the usual murder case. Where in this case the culprit is smart enough to remove any traces of his victims without any remaining.

The police chief interrupts Detective Vio's remarks and again asks and urges that the masked killer be immediately arrested.

"Society is becoming increasingly hostile and fearful. They urged the police to arrest and end the case of the masked killer. So, I hope you guys can finish it right away"

"We've had enough trouble handling this case sir. There is absolutely no definitive evidence that leads us to the killer. And even harder, we couldn't pick up the bodies of the murder victims, because we didn't find them at all. It was as if they had been swallowed up by the earth. We just feel and relate a very small piece of evidence that is not necessarily true" Ical said, He stood up and walked toward the police chief who is currently standing before detective Vio.

"That's your business. Anyway I don't want to hear any excuses coming out of your mouths. If I've already said the order, you should carry it out immediately!"

"But-but sir!"

"Stop detective Ical!" Detective Vio's crack at Ical who was about to fight back.

"I hope you understand, 'cause it's for the sake of so many people out there"

After saying all that, the police chief decided to leave from there. He left the two of them who looked silent and pensive resigned with orders.

"My head is getting dizzy thinking about it" complains detective Ical.

"It's been... Don't think about all that. Mending we focus on finding information about the orphanage that is meant by the grandfather we met at that time"

"Yes, yeah, too..."

They opened the laptop and immediately looked for information about the orphanage.

Seen inside the laptop appeared so many images of the orphanage and some dirt filled the laptop screen.

Detective Ical unceasingly searched and searched every picture and stack of news about the picture he saw.

After a while of searching, they found an orphanage whose characteristics and appearance were exactly the same as what the grandfather said.

Detective Vio immediately directs detective Ical to see more about the orphanage. Detective Ical opened and read all the information.

"So... The university that the killer blew up was a former orphanage?" Suddenly, detective Ical.

"That means everything is indeed related to each other, but we haven't found out what causes this terror in the beginning of Ical"

"Let me find something else" said detective Ical.

He again traced the news of the prosperous child home in the city of Makou was established in 2016 ago.

But the news he found was more or less the same as the first news. Exhausted Detective Ical searches, decides to step down and has Detective Vio take his place.

Vio tried to search back quite thoroughly. He was very focused on finding the root behind this whole mess.

Before long he searched, Suddenly he found a news that was very different from what he had read. Instantly Vio was surprised after seeing some of the images that were inside the news that looked terrible.

"W-what's this... Why the image of mutilation and the pieces of human bodies and organs?" Vio squeezed his hand and immediately closed the laptop he was using.

"What's the matter?, Why yell" Ical walked quickly to where the visibly surprised Detective Vio was.

"You got the cause of everything?" Ical put the cup of coffee he brought on the table, and immediately reopened the laptop.

"Stop that!... Don't open it first. I want to take a breath" Vio prevented detective Ical from opening the laptop.

After a while, Detective Vio was ready to see the news. He quickly asks detective Ical to check on him.

Detective Ical reopens the laptop and sees the news that detective Vio has discovered. After seeing some of the pictures on display, Detective Ical momentarily felt a start in his stomach.

"Don't look at the picture. Try to read the information listed there" said Vio while covering half of his face blocking the picture.

Detective Ical immediately read it with every effort so that he would not see the picture. It says if a child's home is very prosperous and nurturing all children who are in distress, it's just a big lie. Not many know if, Panti anak prospera is the most cursed and terrible place ever in the city of makou.

Detective Ical suddenly stopped reading because all the news had only reached there.
