《Call Of Death》Chapter 73 : Connection 1
Advertisement
Detective Cameron Lee has been staring at the glass board in front of him while Chief Simon was busy with the discussion for the meeting. After a long time investigation, they now have a better conclusion and more information about the culprit behind the Killer Caller case, thanks to Harold's informations. All the pictures and information were pasted on the board. The victims, the missing items, the crime scene and even the finger prints collected at the crime scene were all pasted in there. But their main theory was that, the culprit is related to Cameron. Due to Harold who's been eyeing his adopted son, Cameron, he gathered some pictures and information. The only questions now were that, who was the killer caller? What is his connection to Cameron and his past?
Chief Simon has been discussing but Cameron wasn't focus at all. He see them but he couldn't concentrate on listening. His mind was out there thinking about Officer Chad, Gong Seuk Tae and Detective Parker's welfare. Sitting in the meeting hall and just doing nothing is making him even more anxious. Of course, he has to attend the meeting as they have to create a better plan and more accurate move but he just couldn't sit there while he knows that people are getting in more danger the more minute they spend on creating a plan and doing the meeting. Just thinking about Devius makes him unable to do things properly. He's been trained but when your love one is at risk, can you even apply it?
"Detective Cameron Lee, what do you think?" Detective Lee turned to Chief Simon when he heard her speaking to him.
"Cam, you alright?" Harold asked in concern.
"Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening. I couldn't concentrate, I'm really sorry." He apologized, lowering his head.
Chief Simon sighed. "I said, all the victims might be connected with each other according to Harry's information. Most of them must have had been any interaction based on our investigation too." She repeated.
"Hmm. You're right, Chief. As what I can see and given the information, they must be connected. That's opposite to our initial finding." He answered.
"Camz, you know more than any of us. Can you discuss further?" His adopted father asked.
"Yeah, sure, dad." Cameron stood up and took a brown folder.
In that folder were all the informations he gathered with Officer Devius Chad as they both did the investigation. Though it's not enough yet to reveal the culprit's identity, all the informations gathered could be a great help in uncovering the case. He also have his own investigation there.

"This is Mateo Jacker." He pointed at one of the victims' photo and then he pasted a copy of newspaper from the folder to the glass board. "He had been involved in a car accident killing a nine year old boy. He was served with warrant but the case didn't get long in the court as his lawyer, Niana Penningson, won it. Eunice Oscars was the judge of the case back then." He explained, pasting all the pictures on the glass board.
"Does that mean, there is a pattern all along, sir?" One of their colleagues, Officer Igan, asked.
"Let him finish first." Said Harold.
"Sorry, sir." Officer Igan apologized.
"They might not all be connected or they might not all have had an encounter with each other but these victims had one similarities." He continued.
"What is it?" Chief Simon eagerly asked.
Detective Lee stopped and placed the last piece of paper on the table before saying, "They are all involved in a case where the victim was a child."
"What?" Chief Simon and Officer Chase asked in unison.
"Gina Kang, child trafficking." He pointed at the elderly woman's picture, who is also the first victim. "George Michael, according to our investigation is one of Gina Kang's customer. As for Mence David, there was no case filed because he is known as a kind man but then I found out that behind his good reputation, he used to be sexually assaulting his students, leading on girl to commit suicide."
"But Sherril Henry doesn't have any case about child abused because we've been investigating about her too." Chief Simon stated.
Cameron nodded his head. "You're right, Chief. She doesn't have any case of child abused because she didn't abused anyone but she killed her own child who didn't even got the chance to develop it's heart inside her womb." They all looked shocked upon hearing what Detective Lee had just said.
"What do you mean, Detective Lee? How did you know that?" His colleagues asked again.
Detective Lee pasted a what it seemed to be a hospital record. "Officer Chad and I got some help from Detective Parker for the investigation. Kairo also provided us the most significant information of all. He found out that Ms. Henry got an abortion, less than a week after she found out that she pregnant." He narrated.

"What about Sara Chain and Jona Ingrid, senior?" Asked one of his colleagues, Officer Kish.
"We couldn't find any record about these two either but someone sent me this brown envelope earlier before I left the house and go here." Detective Lee uttered, all his colleagues looked at each other and then turned to him.
"What is it, Lee?" Chief Simon questioned.
"These two, they murdered a kid by pushing the little girl off the cliff." He responded.
"What? But they're just high school? How could they do that, sir?" Officer Yussaf asked, his expression said it all that he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"You cannot judge a person by their age, look and record, Yusaff." Cameron stated and placed the envelope down the table. "Now, I already told you the connection between Mateo Jacker, Niana Penningson and Eunice Oscars earlier. As for Miranda Jameswood and Lee Jin Hong, we still don't have any clue about their connection." He said then he sat back down.
Everyone went silent for a while. Probably thinking about the reason why the two were killed. After a moment, Chief Simon stood up and went in front. Everyone looked at her and waited for what she has to say.
"What about the missing items, did you get any information or conclusion about them, Lee?" She asked, looking at Detective Lee.
"Yes, Chief. Gina Kang lost her apron who she often used when she's selling her victims. George Michael lost his watch which he often used to look at the time when he is supposed to go and sexually assault the kids from Ms. Kang. Mence David lost his handkerchief which he used to cover his victims mouth. Sherril Henry lost her ring which was given to her as an engagement ring. While Jona Ingrid lost the bracelet and Sara Chain lost her lase but those we're not their personal belongings, it was the little girl's. They took it from her before watching her to fall to her doom at the cliff." Detective Lee narrated one by one in complete details. "For Mateo Jacker, his missing item was his slippers. Those were the exact slippers he was wearing on that time of the accident when his car hit the boy."
"What about Ms. Niana Penningson's clothes?"
"That dress was gifted to her by Mateo Jacket after his case was dismissed. Eunice Oscars' beanie was given as a congratulatory gift." He added.
"Senior Lee, do you mean everything has connections? If you're right, then the killer caller is just giving the justice that was forbid from the victims." Officer Yussaf said with a sigh.
"Yes, everything was connected from the beginning. All the missing items were red, even Miranda Jameswood's notebook, Michael Hansell's ballpen but for Lee Jin Hong, it's his blood." Detective Lee answered.
"Woah..."
All of his colleagues were looking at him with shocked but was also amazed by his skills. Their eyes were full of admiration towards him as he explains everything in a detailed manner. Even Chief Simon and Harold were also looking at him with admiration, thinking how could he know everything about that when even their own investigation didn't tackle those. But for Detective Cameron Lee, being able to know all that was like a curse. Because he just realized that if Red was really doing everything to seek justice for the people who were forbidden from it, that only means that the authorities haven't done enough. And if he was his target, he must have done something that brought injustice but he just couldn't recall what.
After the meeting, he went out of the headquarters but Harold followed him. He knew that his son was worried and something was bothering him. Harold wanted to help his son but for now, he doesn't know what to do to help Cameron. Even if he has an idea in his mind, he doesn't have enough proof to back it up.
"Camz." He called Detective Lee.
"Dad..." Cameron smiled but it wasn't visibly a force one. "You need something?"
"Can you come with me? I have to show you something." Harold said.
Cameron looked at him in confusion. "What is it?"
"Just come with me and I'll tell you everything you need to know." Harold patted his son's shoulder and begun walking to car.
Cameron followed his adopted father. He let Harold drive and take him to wherever he wanted to. Detective Lee has too much in mind that he didn't even notice the familiar road his father was heading.
