Chapter 101: 102. The Other Mirien

"It is kept in the City Hall," Winnter replied. "In Sofis, the centre of wizards."  She then continued her search. 

"Isn't that dangerous? How can someone play it?" I was looking at her, who was focusing on scrolling her tablet screen.

"Only the king that knew the melody. It is not just whistling it," Winnter explained further. 

I did not know if someone would be able to kill only by melody. It sounded so horrifying. I could not imagine how to face such a threat if I had to oppose that man. "Aras and collector?" I had not really caught the point of Winnter's explanation, "What do they have something to do with all of this?" 

"Aras may be hunting them, the collectors." Winnter stared at me. "I still have no way a collector is being hunted. I guess one of the victims was someone closely related with that creature." She added. 

"Aras doesn't serve anyone, but they can be good with someone who can understand them. When they have ambition, they can be uncontrolled despite their kindness. That is the reason why Azalea wants it alive as soon as possible to anticipate such bad things." Winnter continued. 

I understood now what the Manjis had said, the reason why Aras crossed and the murders. "The collectors collect organs perhaps for their media, and one of the victims was someone closed to Aras. Is the reason Aras hunting them?" Winnter smiled in satisfaction, I finally could connect the puzzles. So, that was the reason why they entered the world of humans. 

"Basically they are good, but they can be so hard to control when they are angry" She paused for a moment, looking doubtful to say it. "Don't be too close with Mirai. The two have similar characters," she warned me, half laughing. 

"Mirai does look cute and adorable, but when angry, she turns to be uncontrollable. Zent that is always with her, is one of the collectors. It chose gas as, smoke or cloud as media, and shapes like a white bear, Mirai's favourite." Winnter explained and continued searching. 

I told Winnter that the following day I could not join her in the search because I had to go to the police officer. That girl did not mind that as she also didn't want to start the search without enough information and data. "I don't sail without a map and a compass. I must know the navigation and where to sail my boat," She said. I knew that she meant we had to collect as much information as possible before starting searching. 

…

Someone knocked at the door right at one after midnight and I knew who that was. I was about to go down to open the door, but Winnter had allowed Rey to go in. "Your boyfriend is coming," She said as she went back to her room. 

"Tha, since when am I your boyfriend? As far as in concern I am not a gay?!' Rey replied innocently. I punched his arm as a response.

"So what?" I asked back, irritated. 

Rey did not respond right away, he showed me his big shopping bag in his hands. I checked what stuff was inside it, foodstuff I should have bought, but I didn't. too many things that happened the last couple of days caused me to forget this issue. 

"I am hungry, cook something for me!" he said like a boss while sorting the shopping things in the fridge and some were in the pantry. "You could not be reached today. Did you turn off your mobile or you block me instead? I had to go to Erick's house to know your condition. And they told me you went to the police office for some information only." 

I was silent for some time to give him the best answer. It was not that I wanted to lie to him, it was just I didn't want to make others worried. And I even felt worse when I told him I had gone to the police office today. "Tomorrow I have to go there again. Here are two other people being questioned like me." I finally told him.

"How come you got involved in that case?" He looked at me with curiosity. "I mean, why did you have to go out for food at midnight?" he stopped with whatever he was doing and looked at me attentively. 

"I was hungry, and I am used to going out at midnight to the supermarket across the street from my house. But it was just my unlucky day." When Rey asked that I remembered again the incident that night. I knew very well that I went home with Mirien, and we were riding our bikes together after she closed her shop. It happened so fast, and it was hard to believe such an incident would happen and I was involved in it. 

I received a sudden call from the police officer at that time and at four in the morning, I went to the police office abruptly. I left a note and stuck it on the fridge door. When I arrived there, two other witnesses also just came. All of us were invited to come at the same time and were directed to the room once the officer knew our coming. 

"Wait here a second. Chief?" The officer then went into one of the rooms. 

Soon after that, someone called 'Chief" allowed us to go into a room with a projector and some chairs. We were asked to see the records from the CCTV in front of us. 

The time from the CCTV was 10.10 at night. Sometime after the first visit paid and then left the shop. Suddenly Mirien fell down so that the small door, which was by the cashier desk which connected to a small alley between the shop and the building next to it, opened. No signs she got up after that. 

We could not see Mirien's body because it was blocked by the table and the cash register, but we were sure she was still there. About ten minutes later we saw her coming into the shop through the entrance to the cashier room, not getting up from where she had fallen down. She looked normal, playing with her mobile phone and snacking. 

I really did not know what had happened for that ten minute time. It was from watching the recording I was wondering where she was from that she suddenly showed up from the front door. "Where had she been going?" I was so confused. 

"This might be really strange, but the autopsy revealed that Mirien died before eleven, meaning moments after she fell down. His is very strange indeed, but she was still there until the shop closed." The policeman glared at the first visit. "I want to ask you one more question, before you came or when you came, are you sure there were no other visitors?" 

"I am sure I was alone that night," the first visitor was very sure. 

"I am sorry Sir. But that night I went home with Mirien after she closed the shop," I cut the interrogation, "And we both knew that she kept the shop alone, even she helped this madam. How could she have died before we arrived?" I spoke up about what was bothering me. The police looked unsure too. 

"If she had died before we arrived, who helped me that night, then?" that middle-aged woman looked so horrified. She started crying. 

I myself was not much better than her because that night I went home with Mirien around twelve midnight. If she had died, who the hell was with me that night?" 

Mirien lost her kidneys and there was found a very small cut in her body. It was not such an easy thing to remove kidneys from such a small and fine cut. The entrance door was locked from the outside, while the small door near the cashier was left open due to the body being laid across the door so that half part of her body was outside the shop. There was no damage found. The money was still there. 

…

We got some similar questions like the previous day, about what had happened at that time when we were shopping, how was the victim's condition at that time, whether we suspected anything suspicious, and our answers were just the same. The policemen got confused and we were allowed to go home. We did not keep things or lie about anything. On the contrary, we felt so weird. How come? Who was Mirien who served us that night, who helped that other and who went home with me? 

I arrived at school a bit late. I contacted Winnter and Mirai to eat out because I had no time to cook. Thank goodness, Rey had brought some food. Ery called me and nagged me from A-Z because I was summoned again by the police without telling him.. Of course the news spread so quickly and came to his ears.
