Chapter 71 Witnessed

I covered my mouth while gasping, and my eyes were widened. I don't know what to feel, and what to say.
It feels like I witnessed some terrible things at the crime scenes. I'm currently walking in the hallway when I saw this corpse of a student.
There's a lot of police lines, and some of the students were capturing every side of the body.
“Sammy!” Someone pulled me out from the crowd. He hugs me tightly, and he was mumbling something.
“Let's get out of here, Zhian was waiting for us inside of the office, let the police officers, and investigators investigate the crime scene,” he said with an authoritative voice.
We arrived at the front door of the office, Harvey was still holding my hand, and he knocked on the door.
After a few minutes, someone opened the door, and it was Zhian Azrael. My eyes widened, but he's still wearing a mask.
He looked at me with a blank stare, however, I chose to avoid his gaze. I noticed that Harvey was still giving him a death glare.
We entered the room, and I sat on the couch. Sapphire was sitting at her usual spot while reading some article.
“Are we completed? Shall we begin?” She looks intently into my eyes. She looked around, and when she's satisfied, she glances once again at the paper.
“I asked some officers, and gather all the interview statements of each suspect to the different cases that were connected to all of us,” she started to discuss.
“Based on the statements of the suspects from the arson cases of Santiago's residence, someone ordered her to lit up the fire to the house, until your parents were already gone by that,” she lows her voice.
I looked at the ground, while Harvey squeezed my hand.
“I'm sorry for this, but we need to discuss it because it's all connected to our life in the past, I hate to admit it, but we need the memories of the past to gather all the information to catch the people or person behind these crimes.”
I gasped, I glanced in Zhian's direction, but he's just leaning to the wall at the corner of this office.
He closed his eyes, and he's still keeping the mask on, I wonder what's behind that mask.
“The culprit from the arson case was named, Amara Garcia.” My eyes widened, and my heart automatically races like I ran a thousand miles.
The rage from the past came back to my heart and mind. I clenched my other fist.
“Next, proceed to the next crime cases, the cyanide gas that was spread to the whole University...” she stopped for a moment to clear her throat.
“The cyanide gas was inhaled by the students, and the students were late to receive the immediate health assistance that caused them to die.” I'm observing Harvey's reaction.
He's just looking at the ground without saying a word. I can't blame him, because I heard that he saved Zoe that day.
“The culprit behind that case was Charlotte Kim.” Harvey's eyes were widened. I assumed that he knew that girl.
“Next is... The case of Azalea Grayson,” she announced. I turned my head to Zhian, but as usual, he's just leaning, and he didn't move from his position.
“Azalea Grayson was shot multiple times that caused her to lose all the blood from her body, the suspect was named Shun Villamor,” she added.
I saw Zhian's fist, it's clenching. When it comes to his mother, his reaction was anger. Like, who's going to be happy if you lose your parents.
“Oh, I forgot something, do you know where are the teachers or professors when the school was having cyanide gas? Where do you think?” she said. She puts all the papers at the top of her desk.
“They were all killed in the woods,” She muttered. She's looking at me, “What's does the reason? Sammy?” My heart was pounding.
“Huh? I think the people or a person behind these crimes were had something to cover up, and to maintain their beautiful image,” I suggested.
I feel like, my heart is going to throw up from my chest. She nodded, and ask for a little time for thinking.
“What else? Harvey?” He gulped, and released my hand, “In my opinion, all the witnesses, whether it's a student or not, they are going to end all their lives just to maintain their own life,” Harvey replied.
“How about you? Zhian Azrael?” He stared at Sapphire while having a bewildered look on his face.
“I agree with Harvey, and Sammy, maybe they are right because I know, my mother was not a bad human, she doesn't deserve what she got.” He walked in my direction while his one hand was inside of his pocket.
“They were killed because they witnessed something, and they are not cooperating with that someone, the crime between them was not televised.” While Sapphire was talking, Zhian sat beside me.
Zhian became silent for a moment, “Amethyst!” he shouted while looking at me, my shoulder slumped down.
He's always thinking about Zoe Amethyst, she's already gone, but Zhian's was always looking for her.
“She's not Amethyst, how many times do I have to tell you that she's not Amethyst! She's Sammy!” Harvey yelled.
“Stop! Enough with the nonsense!” a sudden hit by the small wood plank echoes together with her voice.
“We're here to investigate, and gather some information, we are not here just to flirt with each other, or yell to each other! Be mature! Don't talk, or shout if you're not the one who was asking for your suggestions.” She crossed her arms, and throw some ballpen at the door.
“Next time, I will not be going to throw it to the door, instead, I'm going to throw it to you if one of you are not listening, from now on, until the last day of our school,” she added. She looked serious.
She was tapping her fingers on the desk, she couldn't help herself but yawn, and her eyes were half-closed.
“I'm exhausted, just for those files that I need to find, and gathered all the papers, can we sleep? I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep just for a moment, please?” Sapphire pleaded.
Looks like no one will disagree with these, she put her head on the table, and cover it with her arms.
I moved closer to Harvey's ear, “Let's go outside, for sure, the body was already surrendered to the forensic team, let's go?” I asked. He grabbed my hand, and slowly walked away from the office.
“Where are we going?” he questioned. I didn't respond, instead, we went to the rooftop, even though it's prohibited because the rooftop was dangerous to all of the students.
That's why they are not allowing someone who will climb up to this rooftop.
All of a sudden, my vision became blurry and black.
