Chapter 23

"Hmm... You're late idiots."
"Guys," Jevan commands. All of them ran toward him. That guy didn't even move when three of them were about to attack him.
Dane pulled his collar. He was about to punch him but all of them stopped and suddenly passed out.
"Dane!" Lay and Jevan shout before throwing away their weapons and going to Dane.
Dane was hardly breathing. The man stood up before carrying him and put it on the sofa.
He didn't even say a word and fin a first aid kit in Jevan's drawer. After a few minutes, he came out from the living room with a medicine kit in his hand.
Jevan and Lay couldn't let out a word when he sat beside Dane. They're watching him flip Dane before he starts to clean his wound.
After that, he put a bandage on his injury.
"Who are you?" Lay and Jevan sked after he cleaned Dane's wound.
That guy smiles at them before he offers his hand to Jevan and Lay. "Chief Superintendent Riggs Dinsmore." Jevan and Lay stare at his hand before accepting it.
"What are you doing here officer?" They asked calmly but inside they were now panicking if he would arrest them.
"Well I have something to discuss with the three of you," he said still smiling. Lay slowly and pull Jevan's clothes without Riggs knowing.
Lay lean at him. "Jevan do you think he will arrest us?" He whispered but Jevan didn't answer. He was asking the same question in his mind too.
That guy sat properly before he crossed his leg. "Of course, I won't arrest you. I know you're the one who did the last cases. I'm impressed that you did it in just 3 days." Lay and Jevan widened their eyes
"W-what do you want?" Lay asked. They couldn't hear how his voice was shaking.
"Well, I'll explain when this guy woke up. For now, let's wait for him." Jevan looked at Dane his eyebrows were frowning like he was suffering from pain.
"We can't trust you. What if you do something to us!" Lay was about to lift the baseball bat but Jeban put it down.
"Don't... he help Dane, we just need to listen," Jevan said looking at Dane who was breathing hard.
"Don't worry, this guy has a strong body, he won't die in just a stab like that. You see their knife has poison hahaha." Lay and Jevan frown when he laughs they hate the way he jokes like that.
"Stop joking!" Jevn shouted. Riggs was stunned but then a smile fell on his lips.
"Ok, I won't, he stood up from where he was sitting, "Do you have wine here?"
"I don't have," Jean said. That guy shook his head before facing them again. Dane slowly moves his hand and opens his eyes.
"Dane, are you ok?" Lay asked he finally walked near him. Dane didn't stand up but he moved his head to look at them then when he saw Riggs he was about to stand up but Jevn pushed him to lay on the couch again.
"Well he's finally woken up let me tell you what my purpose here is," he said as he let out his cigarette and his lighter.
The fire in his lighter blows up making them stare at it.
"I'm Riggs, Diwei's friend," he said but the three of them didn't even know what he was talking about.
"Dewie? Who is that?" Now Jevan was the one who asked. They support Dane to sit beside them.
"Dewie, the detective you saw in the mountain." Jevan, Dane and Lay look at each other.
"W-what?"
"You heard it right. I was here to give you something but before that, I was thinking how you prove yourself to me. Dewie kept talking about you before he died." Jevan can't understand why this guy approaches them, and what.
"If you're his friend, why you didn't help him? Why did let him die?" Lay asked with a glare. They know Riggs knows how they met him that's why they're confused why Riggs didn't do anything to stop that from happening to him.
"I don't have to explain that to you right? It's our matter." The smile on his face didn't even fade away and that made them annoyed.
"What? It's our concern! Why did he suddenly want us to continue the cases? We're strangers, we just help him with food, it's not like we save him!" Jevan shouted. Rigg's expression changes. His eyes stared at them.
"He chose to die and he found a relative case about your brother that's why he wants the three of you to continue the job he left," he said. Jevan's eyes widened for some reason a little answer about why the detective chose them was finally answered.
"What do you mean? Do you know that case? Do you know why someone kidnaps my brother?" He asked. Lay clenched his fist until now he was confused about what happening.
That guy nodded but after that, he shook his head. "I don't know but he gave me the vault where the three of you can open."
"Then where is it?" Dane asked. Riggs was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
He gets his phone from his pocket before answering the call.
"Hello?"
"Chief. There's a new case." The voice from another line.
"What is it?"
"A murder case," he asked. Riggs looks at Jevan Dane and Lay.
"Send me the details. I'll be the only one who inspects everything." After he said that he put down his phone.
"Where is the vault?" Lay asked again changing the topic. Riggs didn't even say anything after that call and kept staring at them.
"Where? I have it but first I want you to resolve this case," he said. He also wants to know that case. Dewie doesn't' let him not until Jevan, Dane, and Lay open it so he will know everything.
Dewie was a mysterious person.
"Just like what we heard from the other guy you're talking about?" Jevan said. Riggs nods before he chuckles.
"Yes, it is. So get ready, I only give you a week to solve this case, after that I will give you the vault you need."
