The Absolute beast Tamer-Chapter 70: CASE STUDY (2)

Case study scenario: "In Z city, a 9th stage beast tamer was found killed in warehouse number 38. The body was mutilated with a clear ritual setting that was prepared alongside the dead body.

The first to discover the body was the bodyguard working in the warehouse district. The name is Colin, 42 years old, an Ena cultivator at the 4th stage who was doing the usual patrols between the warehouses when he heard an eerie sound coming from warehouse number 38, which made him check it and discover the body, where he immediately reported it to the guard station.

According to the phone call that he made to the guard station, which shows the discovery time of the dead body at around 12:34 past midnight.

The first response on the scene from the guard station was at 12:42 past midnight.

After processing the scene, they have identified the dead beast tamer as Rado Swire, a 112-year-old 9th-stage beast tamer who lived in A City.

1,200 km away from Z City, he was a guest elder at the Zirconia Chamber of Commerce in A City. Coming up from a humble background, he made his way until he reached the level of high-class beast tamer, marrying into the white family and becoming a guest elder at the Chamber of Commerce that the white family runs.

The cause of death is a single wound to the chest completely taking the heart out, which indicated some kind of ritualistic relationship together with the set that was found near the victim.

After some inquiry by the guard station, they found out that the reason for the victim’s visit to Z City is to participate in an auction that will happen in 3 days. But there was some inconsistency with this reason, as they found out later that the victim had a meeting with an underground broker called Neiman. The broker confirmed meeting the victim but refrained from disclosing the content of their meeting, as it was unrelated to the victim’s death, according to him.

It was found that the victim had a female companion on his first night in the city. The name was Kaya, a 38-year-old hostess who worked at a host bar in Midtown. After interrogation, she confirmed spending the night with the victim.

There was also the designated driver named Omar, who was contracted to provide transportation for the period of the victim’s stay here in the city. According to the driver, he did not send the victim to the warehouse district, and the last time he had seen the victim was 12 hours before the victim’s death when he left him at the hotel.

Two warehouse workers testified in the guard station that they heard weird voices and screaming coming from warehouse number 38 when they were unloading a shipment in warehouse number 70 a few hundred meters away.

The two of them were named Jack and Kyle, registered employees to the warehouse district.

The last person who was in contact with the victim was the auction house PR manager, as he informed the victim of some changes on the list of items that will be displayed in their auction.

According to Mr. Liam, he had a phone call with the victim 6 hours before the time of murder.

Later it was found that the wife, Vanna White, and the father-in-law, Rex White, alongside the bodyguard, Jimmy, had been in town one day prior to the murder without informing the victim.

The reason was that Madam White wanted to confirm her husband’s infidelity; according to the flight log, they arrived one day before the murder happened.

This is the report that was compiled by the guards. It is up to you to interrogate all the suspects in the case, narrowing down the sources of false information from 10 individuals to find out who is truly related to the case or less.

The most optimal result is finding the murderer.

Alina: "As you all read this case, now you understand who the 10 people behind me are; they will be your suspects or the people mentioned in the report. Everyone will go into a different booth and wait for your interrogation. I am excited to see what kind of results you will find, how many of their information are false, and how many are not. What kind of tactics will you employ? After interrogating all 10 suspects in this case, I hope you write the result as a report, which I will review afterwards. We have plenty of time for this class, as this will be your last class for the day. Go on."

Alan was dumbfounded as he could not believe that he had to play a police officer or some kind of spy to find the murderer and reach the conclusion if this case had anything to do with rituals or cults.

Even the expressions on the other seeds were not all that bright, as filtering information is not an easy task. How can you tell the truth from all the falsehoods?.

Alan sat back at the end of the class as he watched everyone taking turns to interrogate the 10 suspects in this case.

Almost two and a half hours had passed when it was the turn of the last person to join the exercise.

Alan: "Instructional Alina May I join the exercise? I would like to experience it and get a feel for future reference."

Instructor Alina was surprised, as she did not expect to hear such a request from Alan, as he had missed so many lectures and was the youngest, who lacked the most experience.

Alina: "Feel free to take a crack at it, No. 33."

Alan: "Thanks for the instruction."

Silently, inside his head, Alan decided to participate, as he wanted to confirm something by trying to use the Eye of Ra for the first time in an information-based sitting, which was actually the true purpose of the Eye of Ra.

As he entered the first booth, he found the bodyguard in the scenario who was the first to discover the victim.

Alan: "Good afternoon, you can call me number 33. I have a few questions that I want to ask you, but first could you shake my hand?"

The bodyguard was confused but he still shook Alan’s hand.

Alan: "Let’s keep this handshake, as you can see I am blind, so I’d like to get a feel on anyone I meet so we shake hands. Now, at what time did you find the body of the victim?"

Bodyguard: "Half an hour after midnight, I guess. Then I immediately called the guard station."

Alan: "You did not see or meet the victim at all before you found him dead in the warehouse?"

Bodyguard: "It is the first time I’ve seen him."

Alan: "What did you do after calling the guard station?"

Bodyguard: "I did not touch anything, and I closed the warehouse door to preserve the crime scene. Also, I’m a 4th stage cultivator; there was no way in hell I could fight him off."

Alan: "You’re right indeed; unless it was an assassination for a 4th stage to kill a 9th stage, it is a miracle."

Name: [Colin Stuart]

Stage: [9th stage]

Status according to the truth law: [70% falsehood]

A smile crept out on Alan’s face as he thanked Mr. Colin, the guard, and moved to the next station while feeling the previous information about the guard floating in his mind; even the correct status about the previous speech that he had concentrated on was reflected.

Now his hypothesis about the eye Ra has changed as he found out that the applications are numerous and the true eye is the eye of the heart.

….

Inside the second booth, Alan initiated the handshake and started asking questions again.

Alan: "So you have spent the first night with the victim when he arrived at Z City, but it has been 3 days now and you only spent the first night with him. Was there no contact after that, Miss Kaya?"

Kaya: "He came to the bar where I work at, and he was pleasant and generous enough, so we went back to the hotel for a little fun. The next day we parted ways, and that’s it. I didn’t see him at all later."

Name: [Kaya Vincent]

Stage: [2nd stage]

Status according to the truth law: [0% falsehood]

Alan: "Thank you, Miss Kaya."

As Alan kept moving from one booth to another, more than 40 minutes later, he exited the last one. He then joined the rest to write the final report.

Alina: "Okay everyone, finally the fun part of the class will begin. You will go one by one as you report your findings. What do you think is true and what do you think is false? Why do you think so? How did you manage to reach such a conclusion? What kind of method do you employ? I want all the juicy stuff as we will discuss it in detail."

No. 9: "May I be the first to report to the instructor?"

Alina: "I’m kind of excited to listen to your report, especially you, number nine, so I will save you for last. Let’s start with number 80."

No. 80: "Instructor, you are so mean; you know that I suck at this kind of thing."

Alina: "Stop bitching, seed number 80."

No. 80: "Yes, ma’am."
