Horror And Mystery Stories
Mr. K (Kingdom)

A stack of files was waiting at his desk when the handsome man in a suit with no tie at 172 cm tall and a neat hairdo now 25 years old entered his study. A stack of files with a list of cases that he must solve immediately. Wait a minute, he's not a police officer or any other state apparatus, he's a reliable secret agent who will only intervene when the case really can't be solved. Everyone is used to calling him Mr. K, while his real name is Key Richard, but only a handful of people understand his true identity.

One by one he opened the files, and the case was a murder on a yacht 10 years ago. There was not a single clue he could use to begin his investigation of the case, there was only one clue to the name of the yacht that was the scene of the murder 10 years ago. KINGDOM, yes, that's the name of the yacht that was the scene of the murder 10 years ago, until this moment there is no witness who knows how the tragedy of the murder can happen. Mr. K immediately took his car keys and rushed to the dock that became the location of the yacht's leaning.

Arriving at the location it was only known that this cruise ship had stopped operating less than 10 years ago, precisely in 2004. Mr. K tried to browse every inch of this luxury yacht, and sure enough, there was something odd about this yacht. For a cruise ship that has not sailed for 10 years, this cruise ship is too clean and neat, even the engine is still very good and well maintained.

Mr. K returned to his car and entered all the data he managed to photograph during the cruise ship. One by one, the 7-inch screens were detected in his car, but there was no sign of further clues to the murder. Mr. K contacts King, his co-worker and colleague thinking of solving the problem to tell him all the details of the events in the 10-year-old KINGDOM. King Althea, that is the full name of a handsome man with a height of 170 cm who can captivate women with just a smile. He is a secret agent who would rather take care of the technology to smooth the work of a secret agent than to take to the field like Mr. K, he is also very good at analyzing things.

“The murder happened precisely during the birthday party of the youngest daughter of the President of Kingdom Cruises, the ship company that operates and owns the KINGDOM cruise ship. The slain man was the second son of Kingdom Cruises' president and also a performer. The case was a stabbing and the bodies were found in different places within a radius of 1000 M. There is no main evidence at the site, it is estimated that the evidence (knives used for stabbing) has been dumped at sea at that time. The murder is estimated to occur during the peak event after the fireworks occurred, it was around 00.00 WIB, the performer and the second son of the President suddenly disappeared from the event. At about 00:15 a.m., the body of the president's second son was found, and a second body was found within a 1000 M radius of the first corpse. Murder is estimated to occur around 23:00 until 24:00, there are no witnesses at all, this is because the murder occurred during the peak event. At the scene of the incident only found an earring around the location of the body of the man. It is thought that the show's filler at the time had a relationship with the second son of the Chairman of Kingdom Cruises.

“Ant-anting? How many children does Kingdom Cruises President have?”

“3 people, the first and second child a boy, and the third a girl.”

“Send me a photo of both victims, as well as the family of the President of Kingdom Cruises”

The photos requested by Mr. K was sent by King. Two boys and one performer (singer), the photos are now being observed by Mr. K. His instincts began to say that something was wrong from the two sons of the president and a singer. A picture of the body 10 years ago was also sent by King to Mr. K. In the photos of the bodies there are no other symptoms other than stabbing in the abdomen for female victims, and in the back and waist for male victims. From his prick, Mr. K believes that the killer is not a professional killer.

“This is clear, there must be a love triangle case here. But who does it do if it's really about the love triangle?”

Mr. K again contacted King and requested an address from the President of Kingdom Cruises. In an instant the data was already on his monitor. Soon he drove his car down the road to the address King had sent him. Upon arriving at the location, there was a magnificent and luxurious house that seemed to be uninhabited. But that's where Mr. K gets the news that the President of Kingdom Cruises and his wife and youngest daughter have not been home for nearly 2 years, but no one knows where they live now, while the company is run by the first Son of the President of Kingdom Cruises, he also never returned to this house.

Mr. K immediately left the place after feeling enough with the info he got earlier. Here Mr. K begins to feel something strange, the investigation of this case has really not been stopped, but why the key witness actually never returned home? Mr. K decides to go back to the office and meet King in his room.

“King, have any police or other agents ever investigated this case?”

“10 years ago, precisely after the incident many who investigated this case, and last 2 years ago there was a policewoman who had investigated this case, and lastly, a policewoman who had investigated this case, but everything stopped in the middle of the road when the President's family did not want to give any information about the murder that night. Since then, there has been no further investigation on the matter.”

“Then, why did this case reopen?”

“The families of the victims who wanted it, because all this time there was no clarity on who the real perpetrators were, and according to the families of the victims, the families of the President of Kingdom Cruises were very difficult to work with in solving this problem, so the victim's family asked us to investigate without having to involve a party from the Kingdom Cruises.” family

“Have you ever seen the earrings that are the only proof on TKP?”

“I've never seen it, but according to the news, the earring was last brought by the policewoman who investigated the case before you and she is now in shanghai”

“Call Chris, and make sure he finds the location of the woman's police in Shanghai for me, call me in half an hour.”

Mr. K left the King's room with a facial expression that was very difficult to decipher. Maybe even now his heart is upset because he had to get a case about the incident 10 years ago which at that time was just 15 years old. It was not an easy job for him.

Half an hour later a message appeared on the monitor at his desk. Mr. K immediately heads to Chris' room, a handsome man with a height of 172 cm and a charming posture who becomes King's rival in analyzing things and also in conquering the heart of every woman who looks at him. He is an expert in finding information about all the people needed in the investigation process in a case that must be resolved. A news he got that Chris had found the location of the woman's police, but the problem was, he could not contact the woman's police because there was no data on the phone number to his e-mail.

“Contact the policewoman anyhow, find the last location where she was on duty, address, family or anything else, go undercover if needed or if necessary, I will go alone to Shanghai to meet her. Do whatever it takes to find that evidence if you want the case to be over soon. Analyze everything, and give me the latest data as soon as possible, by tomorrow morning”

“Good Mr.”

Mr. K. walks back into his room, and begins to convince himself that this is a conflict with the love triangle case, only that he is still confused as to who the real culprit is about this incident.

Arriving at the office, everything looks as usual, nothing has changed, immediately Mr. K went to his room and asked that the evidence and the analysis data be handed over to him. Chris and King came in with evidence and analysis of the earrings now inside the plastic.

“You can start Chris.”

“This earring is an earring produced only 10 pieces around the world, this earring itself has a very fantastic price, so who wears it can certainly be people from the top. 10 People who buy it have an official list, because indeed these earrings are produced very limited. But of the 10 people who bought these earrings, none were on board the cruise ship that night.”

“King, give me a photo of a woman's corpse at the time of the incident 10 years ago.”

King displayed a photo of the body of the woman who was the victim of a murder on a cruise ship 10 years ago. MR. K began to observe every inch of the photo, hoping to find something strange from the photo. A few minutes later, Mr. K realized that the woman's corpse did not wear earrings at all, so it was certain that it was not the woman's earring. So who's the earring? Mr. K told King to play CCTV footage of the yacht, but unfortunately there were no CCTV cameras at the scene of the murder, not even one woman wearing earrings like those found at the scene at the time.

“Chris, contact all the early buyers of these earrings and ask anyone they sell the earrings to, I think it's starting to clear who did it. King, find the family genealogy data of the President of Kingdom Cruises, Do it as soon as possible and give me the next news, got it?”

“Baik”

30 Minutes later King returned with a family tree from the President of Kingdom Cruises, and it was only discovered that the 2 Princes of the President of Kingdom Cruises were not his biological children, it is an adopted child adopted by the President of Kingdom Cruises when they are 3 and 5 years old respectively. So the biological son of the President of Kingdom Cruises is only his youngest daughter. This data from King makes Mr. K is increasingly convinced that the suspect is one of the families of the President of Kingdom Cruises, maybe this is also the reason for his silence and the difficulty of the family of the President of Kingdom Cruises to be invited to cooperate in the investigation.

Chris came back with a list of first and second buyers of those earrings. There were only 2 people selling her earrings. The first one is named Patricia, now he is in Los Angels, he claimed to sell his earrings to his friend who is also in Los Angels. And the second was the wife of one of the business friends from Kingdom Cruises, and she sold it to the Wife of the President of Kingdom Cruises. The earrings were purchased about 2 days before the birthday celebration of their youngest daughter. The wife of the President of Kingdom Cruises said that she wanted to give the best gift for her daughter. Mr. K codes for Chris to stop explaining, asking Chris to play back the CCTV footage as people gather, but oddly enough, the wife of the Kingdom Cruises President doesn't wear the earrings, he wears the other earrings.

“The wife of the president of Kingdom Cruises does not wear those earrings, but she bought those earrings at a fantastic price exactly 2 days before her daughter's birthday just for her daughter's birthday gift? King, could it?”

“That's possible.”

“So, my guess is exact? But if he did, what kind of love triangle is this? Besides he also did not use the earrings on the night of the incident.”

“Better now just go back to that Cruise Ship, and look for the proof.”

“I won't go back there. King, replay all CCTV videos that were on the cruise ship at the time of the incident.”

Mr. K began to focus his gaze on just a few people. Yeah, he's already started narrowing down his target, he's observing some of the same people in all the CCTV footage. But the more he observed them, the more he was convinced that there was a strange love triangle here. Obviously it was a happy face in love, but how could the suspect like the victim? The question kept hovering in Mr.'s head. K. Until a while later, he stopped all the video recordings that he had been staring at one by one. Mr. K begins to ask Chris to call the Police and ask them to make an arrest warrant and make an arrest for Princess Bungsu Kingdom Cruises. This he did because he couldn't catch the suspect himself. Actually, instead of not being able to, it's just that he doesn't want to do it, he wants to close his identity as a secret agent. Others only knew enough that he was just an ordinary employee, nothing more.

“What's the reason you told me to call the police?”

“This is the motive for murder behind jealousy. The third daughter of the President of Kingdom Cruises has feelings for her second brother who in fact is not her biological brother. This can be seen from all the CCTV footage, he is seen continuing to hold the arm of his second brother and just keep sticking to him. His way of joking and attention was also different between his first brother and his second brother, he showed concern as a woman, not as a sister to his second brother. She didn't let any woman get close to her brother, although I'm sure that her brother has a special relationship with the show's woman. The youngest daughter of the President of Kingdom Cruises may have interpreted another concern for her brother during this time. Until the peak night of her birthday she found her brother alone with another woman. Perhaps because his disappointment and jealousy were already unbearable, he acted recklessly by stabbing the singer. After all, if you look at the CCTV, there was no youngest daughter of the President of Kingdom Cruises when the peak event was held, she was only there at the cake cutting party, which happened about 1 hour before the peak event started”

“But the body of the president's second son was found much closer than the entrance to the pool, and also his puncture wounds were not on the abdomen, but on the back and waist to the right, he said, while the corpse of the woman was found within a radius of 1000 M from the corpse of the man”

“It was easy Chris, the perpetrator initially wanted to stab the female victim, but his older brother managed to get in the way, and of course the one who died first was the male victim. For the earrings that fell, he had already worn them just after he opened all his birthday presents, he said, it seemed like he wanted to show the earrings to his older brother who was at that time in the pool on the top floor of the yacht, but it was really quite a pity, indeed, what he got was that his second brother was making out with another woman, so it seemed, his older brother was putting up a fight against the suspect until he didn't realize that one of his earrings had come off. How?”

“But wasn't the peak event done on the top floor of the yacht?”

“No King, the highlight event was held in an open space on the ground floor, they enjoyed the fireworks on the ground floor of the KINGDOM cruise ship. This case I declare is complete, you can give all the reports to the police, the rest let them take care of it.”

Mr. K returns to his room, and he declares the case is over. The problem of how the culprit, let the police handle it, he does not want to intervene in the business. He just wanted to find the real culprit without wanting to interfere in their punitive matters.
