Death Slice
Chapter 9. It's been a little seen

"I won't be here too long. I just wanted to ask you" Detective Vio was asking the owner of the bar.

Detective Ical prepares a book and a pencil and prepares to write all the information from the owner of the bar.

"What do you want to know about me?.. I'm just an ordinary person who makes a living my way like this" Reply the owner of the Bar that night named Mr. Tang.

"Sir Tang.. I just want to know if you've seen suspicious people come in at your place lately?" Ask detective Vio to her.

With a pretty scared facial expression and swallowed saliva, Mr. Tang immediately answered detective Vio's "Ti-no" question.

"Oh. okay" Reply detective Vio briefly.

Mr. Tang walked back slowly away from detectives Vio and Ical as they talked to each other.

After being far enough away from detectives Vio and Ical, Mr. Tang immediately ran small towards the back door that led straight out of the Bar.

But he has not run far enough, Detective Vio is behind him with a gun pointed at his head. Detective Vio casually tells her to run back and leave the place.

And plainly Mr. Tang moved and took one step forward. Unexpectedly the gun that led to him fired a bullet suddenly.

Instantly, Mr. Tang was silent with bulging eyes and sweat all over his body. Detective Ical who saw it only fell silent while swallowing his saliva saw the actions of his partner.

"It's a good thing I didn't aim right in your head. If I did, I might have had enough of this cat-and-mouse drama. I want you to be honest.. Is there really no suspicious people coming in this bar?" Detective Vio again asked her which this time with a fairly high and firm tone.

"I told you guys, I don't know anything. I really don't know!" Mr. Tang replied to Detective Vio's question quickly accompanied by a feeling of fear in his heart.

Hearing that, Detective Vio lowered his gun slowly as he walked up to Mr. Tang who was behind him. With a face that had begun to get upset, Detective Vio grabbed Mr. Tang's body and twisted it face to face with him.

Detective Vio moved his face towards Mr. Tang who looked extremely frightened and trembling. Detective Vio looked into his eyes coldly and began to speak softly at Mr. Tang.

"Not lie.. I've known you lied to me since I first asked you. It would be nice of you to be honest with a cop and not get in the way of our work. You know what the impact would be if you obstructed the investigation of a case like this. You're gonna get--"

"Alright!.. Good. I'll tell you everything I know. Actually.. Before there were a lot of murders, there was a handsome guy in his 20s who came to this bar just for fun. But before long he came, There was someone else who came but with a very strange appearance"

"What does that person look like?" Ask detective Vio.

Detective Ical seems to have started writing everything Mr. Tang told them.

"The man was wearing a black raincoat and wearing a pretty creepy rabbit mask"

After that, Mr. Tang resumed his story after his body had not trembled and felt fear again.

"Nobody focused on him but me watching all his movements. First he touched the table and held some drinks and glasses here. But after some time, the freak saw the handsome man who was drinking and sitting on a chair near the corner. Without lingering, the freak came up to him and talked for a while with him. After that I saw him take him to the WC Bar area. I wanted to follow him immediately, but there was someone who asked and spoke to me long enough. After I spoke to the person who asked me, I immediately went back to chasing them into the WC Bar area. When I came in, that's where I saw the terrible thing in my life. The man had already died on the floor of the WC Bar with blood splattered and an arm that had already disappeared from him"

After explaining everything, Mr. Tang immediately lowered his head and begged detective Vio and Ical who were standing before him right now.

"I'm sorry if I tried to obstruct your investigation. The people here don't want the police to know more about this. They are closed when it comes to these kinds of things. Residents who alerted the police only said it was a regular accident. Although the police do not believe it, they must consider the testimony of the citizens who are here. They also threatened me to shut up and forget everything. That's why I'm trying to avoid you guys" continued Mr. Tang in a fairly limp tone of voice.

Detective Vio grabbed Mr. Tang's shoulder and smiled at him "Father need not worry. People won't know if you've told us. And never be afraid to tell the truth if that's the truth" said detective Vio as he patted Mr. Tang's shoulder.

"And you need not be afraid. The police are his duty to defend the truth and protect the people, not to oppress and punish the people" Detective Ical said with a smile.

Mr. Tang was feeling pompous and regained his senses to return detective Vio and Ical's smiles as his hands were raised up saluting them. After that detectives Vio and Ical went from there after getting a lot of important information from Mr. Tang.

"There's actually something I want to give you. Sorry if the item is not good" Esia said to Leo as she fumbled over her sizable pants pocket.

Leo immediately stopped his steps and approached Esia who was taking the item he was referring to. Leo looked at Esia with a loving look accompanied by her very sweet smile.

"This is an owl-shaped wooden statue that I bought a few days before you came home. I-I actually want to buy a more expensive and fancy but--"

"No papa this is also good" said Leo as he took the owl statue from Esia's hand.

Esia was immediately startled after Leo took the gift suddenly from her. With a happy feeling, Esia smiled and looked at Leo who saw and admired the statue.

"The sculpture is so cool, I'll keep it well at home. Because this is a gift from you" said Leo, after which he put it in his pocket. Esia and Leo returned to a leisurely walk in the park with happy feelings of each other.

Before long they walked, seen a pair of feet wearing white shoes that confronted them both. When Esia saw him, How shocked he was with eyes glaring after seeing the man in front of him was Pang his college friend who was always chasing after him.

"Pa-pang!.."

"Over well we didn't meet after the university's variety art was destroyed, Esia" Pang said with a quite irritating expression.

Leo was immediately confused to see Esia who was shocked when she saw the person she did not recognize. "Seems like Esia knows this guy?" Speak Leo's mind while paying attention to Esia and Pang.
