Chapter 2: 2: Progress

In a restaurant, Noah was sitting while reading the papers handed to him by the policemen, He read them carefully and slowly understood the progress of the investigation. 

 

According to the paper, in the past few weeks, certain reports were sent to the police station. The contents of the reports were about missing children. 

 

Then in the past few days, the number of reports went higher and the government decided to pay more attention to this matter. After all, it could cause panic among parents if they didn't take any action. 

 

Noah grab the coffee from the table and took a few sips, he thought of the latest reports and the clues that were thought of by other detectives.

 

The first clue was that the suspect may not be alone, and it is suspected to be an organization. The proof that was sent by a certain detective was a data graph and it shows the rising frequency of disappearing children within a day which tells that one man can't kidnap such amount of kids in a certain day. 

 

The next clue was that this organization may be a new one and maybe provoking the government by kidnapping children. There are a lot of conflicts among detectives about this clue as to who would be so fearless that he would fight a government?

 

Other detectives believed that if the said organization is provoking the government, then they would likely have the strength to back it up or even someone stronger is backing them up. 

 

And lastly, the house earlier is said to be the hideout of the suspects. Because one of the children who disappear happened to have a phone in his bag, which was detected by the polices and was found near the house.

 

Noah put the coffee down and touched his adam’s apple. He recalled that when he woke up in the basement, he found a lot of rusted swords. This means that the owner of the house or someone that he knew had a hobby in swords. 

 

Noah looked at the policemen in front of him and said; “What is your name?” The policeman who was eating a burger looked at him and coughed for a second and replied, “Sir, my name is John!” 

 

Noah nodded and stood up, “Do you know anyone who is selling swords?” John quickly nodded his head and replied; “Yes there are three stores that specialize in selling swords, but their business is not that good, I went there a few times and their swords are good looking but they are expensive!”

 

“That’s enough, let’s go,” Noah replied and walked out of the restaurant, John who had a lot more to say, shut his mouth and took a quick drink, and followed Noah. 

 

. . . 

 

After an hour, Noah arrived at the first store that sells swords. The store is indeed weak in business as there are no people around it, John on the other side had already gone to the store. 

 

Noah fixed his hair and entered the door, earlier in the car he told John what to do so he just need to wait. After all, it would be bad if the seller ask his name. Although he was curious about his rule, the mission is important.

 

I had to say that John had a talent for talking, as the seller kept waving his hands as though saying that’s enough. 

 

And sure enough, John waved his hands to Noah and Noah followed him to the back of the store, there are three monitors here and after explaining where the folders are, the seller walks away. 

 

“Sir, the task is complete. We can now check the CCTV!” John said with a smile on his face, Noah nodded and look through the dates of the folders. 

 

After choosing the folder, he opened it and watched the footage. It was night and around midnight, a man with spikey hair entered the store and looked at all the swords in the store. 

 

It could be said that this man with spikey hair loved swords, as Noah and John watched this man with spikey hair, they saw that the man even kiss the scabbard of the sword as though it was his lover.

Noah had a calm expression on his face, after all in his previous life he saw a lot of movies such as the swordsman who loves their sword. But John who was beside him had an incredulous expression on his face. 

 

“Sir, this man is weird. I think he is the suspect!” John whispered to Noah while pointing toward the man with spikey hair and Noah glanced at him and continued to watch the footage. After a few fast forward, they found that only this man entered the store. 

 

After finishing the footage, Noah walks away and said, “Ask the seller, how many swords did that man buy.” Then he walked out of the store. 

 

After waiting a few minutes, John walked out of the store and said, “The seller told me that the man bought five swords.” Noah nodded and entered the car. 

 

“Let’s go to the other stores,” Noah said and John quickly entered the car and they headed into the two stores that sell swords. Along the way, Noah touched his adam’s apple and fell into deep thought. 

 

After a few hours, the two went into the two stores and check the security surveillance. Then they found out that the man with spikey hair appeared in two stores and bought five swords, Noah then told John to go to the police station. 

 

. . . 

 

In a room, Noah was sitting with his leg crossed and in front of him was a report. He already knew the content of the report and it was about the disappearing children. 

 

“Where is that man now?” Noah touched his adam’s apple and knew that he could not solve the mission tonight, that man with spikey hair is suspicious and he could be the key to continuing the progress of solving the case. 

 

But that man couldn’t be found, Noah already ask John to find that man and the results were that the man couldn’t be found. 

 

The man with spikey hair didn’t even leave his contact number to the stores that he went into, not even his name which is also somewhat suspicious.

 

Since he couldn’t be found then we don’t need to look for him, but rather have him come to us. Since that man likes swords, then give him an attractive one. 

 

Noah stood up and fixed his har, then he walked out of the room and happened to see John who was chatting with others. 

 

“John, let’s go,” Noah said and walked out of the police station, John who was chatting with his friends, turned his head and saw the back of Noah. Thinking that this detective may have found something, John quickly stood up and said a few words to his friends, and followed Noah.

 

. . . 

 

 Noah looked at John inside the car and said, “Do you have a beautiful sword?” John who just put on his seatbelt replied, “Yes and that was a gift from my grandfather who worked overseas, and that sword is really beautiful that I decided to apply for a sword fighting course.” 

 

“We need that sword, it may help us in this case.” Noah replied and John stared at Noah and said with a painful expression on his face, “Really?” 

 

Noah glanced at him and replied, “Just go.” John sighed, this night he found out that this new detective is a bit cold. After saying sorry to the beautiful sword in his mind, John started the engine and the car quickly left the police station.
