Year: 1984

A young girl watches TV with her parental figure , the show on the TV was "super galactic defensers" , a tokusatsu very popular back then

— Um.... dad , why heroes always wears weird outlifts? Like.... are they trying to save our lifes or blind us with their shining helmets?

The man in the couch laughs a bit

— You see Humui , there are many types of heroes, those we see on TV are powerfull beings who can destroy giant robots with their own fists , but they need to wear their outlifts to use their power , meanwhile.... we have our ordinary heroes , who leave their home often to rescue someone mentally, physically among others, in fact those heroes exists

— THEY DO? AND WHERE THEY ARE?

— You are looking into one right now

— Dad? DAD IS A HERO?

— a hero who saves people mentally Humui , a psychologist , my dream since i was a kid was to help others as much as i can , i wasn't very good with the police tests so i tried something simple , and man.... what a good decision

— Can i be a hero?!?! Can i be like you?

— Humui.... nothing is impossible, you might be able to save more people than i do one day.....

— YAAAAY I WILL SAVE EVERYONE FROM THE DARKNESS

the girl starts punching the air excited for her future..... only if she knows.....

Year: 1995

— Dad...

— Hey Humui!

— U-uh?

I think i lost my self in my past again , this happen sometimes when i'm bored, me and Ryonada just finished our day in school at the moment, we both study at some local Nagasaki school , decent teaching to be honest, I was just waiting for her to come back , she went to the bathrooms

— Ryonada , you are back... why you took so long?

— Well you see..... THIS , stole my time

Ryonada shows me a pamphlet, it was a Glock in promotion , I think someone gave it to her.... as much as Ryonada is a bit Silly and dumb, she has a love and a huge knowledge about fire weapons, i prefer to use only Berreta 92 in my cases, simple but elegant

— I see.... gonna buy it?

— Well..... hehe.... you.... got money?

Why i'm not suprised

— Sorry , I had to give you money recently with the payment of your rent

— C'mon Humui just a little bit , the promotion will end soon

— There will be more for sure , just be patient

Our conversation was cut when Ryonada phone started to ring , it was our boss Josef , a very smart and old man with a big police career, Ryonada answer the phone

— Hello bossu?.... hm? Tonight? Ok i got it

She ends the call and looks at me

— an investigation on Angelo Caio house confirmed , we will be there tonight at 10 p.m.

— ...got it , I still have my doubts about him , but i guess it worth checking him anyways

— That's the spirit

Little do i know... this simple task would lead me to the most weird experience i had in years, i had seen..... dismembered people , dead animals... everything, but..... this day takes the first spot

We had arrived at the local a bit early , Angelo house was located in the middle of some mountains , far away from the City, the school buss couldn't go there due to the complexity of the environment and the long trees , so he used to go to the academy all by him self with a bike , pretty risky i would say , somehow he dind't died before the victim at that environment , waiting for us at the main door of the house among other cops , was Kilryin , an veteran and young cop , good friend of us

— Sooooo the ladies are used to ghost movies?

— Hm? Why the question?

— Heh , you will found out soon , but before you two enter the house , there is something we found in the woods , I would like you two to follow me

We go after him , while we follow him , me and Ryonada we noticed that it was starting to rain little by little Kilryin then says

— Jeez , now? It will ruin the suprise

At the moment we arrive , we saw a paper stuck in a tree , i go check it and i realize it was a paper that was cut in half

— You see Humui , i'm not very good with different languages , that's why I brought you here

It was a binary code , it was written "/ .... . .-.. .-.." , with my knowledge on morse codes i quicly figured out

— .....Hell... it is written hell.....

— Jeez..... well uh.... huh?

Kilryin looked up in the sky , it started to rain

— Let's get back, oh and don't let this paper get wet

— ... Hell.....

Ryonada takes a look at the paper

— This is creepy... where did you learned Morse codes anyways?

— Long history , tell you later

We three return to the house

— So, ready now girls?

— You know we both had seen everything right?

— I mean... yea , but i like a bit of suspense , anyways

He opens the door , the image we saw is typical from depressive people or insane people , Angelo Caio head was exploded by a shotgun shot , his brain parts was in the wall behind him , along with other parts of his head , and mostly , he was holding the shotgun that ended his life

— ..... I see.... you and the boys already searched the entire house?

— Everything already , we couldn't find anything and his phone messages was very normal for us , but now... we are letting the experts do the job

— Well uuhhh... i don't think i can call my self an exp-

— Let's go Ryonada , we got work to do

Our task was simple , identify the cause of death , look for any DNA left behind and find a possible answer for the code morse, I won't waste your time so i will just say we couldn't get anything usefull , but there was one thing....

— .....?

— Something wrong Humui?

— ... Knife now

— Sure

I was in the kicthen , and the floor i was standing was pretty senstive for me..... it was made of wood , so it would be easy to see what was under it , the moment i could remove that floor part.... nothing , it was nothing..... maybe it was a broken part of the floor or something....

— Well , you tried Humui , but at least your instincts are always up

— Huff.... do me a favor Ryonada.... don't tell anyone about this moment?

The case was considered a suicide , but there were still things that didn't add up, me and the others wanted answers , but it were out of our reach , We left the crime scene, gave our report to Josef and the shift ended , me and Ryonada went to our homes

Humui hotel

??? P.m

— Well if isn't our Detective Konan , Humui! how was your day my dear?

— Same , blood and dead people

— You sure has a iron stomach girl , i'm happy to know you can face scenes like that and stand still

This is Oliver , he is my hotel doorman , a old man who works here for years , he is very kind and gentle , like a uncle for me.... sometimes he reminds me of my father , but i prefer him as a uncle for several reassons , after greet him , i went to my room , an empty room with only a bed , a closet and a table with a computer , I don't see the need to decorate my room, such material items are temporary or simply useless, so I only have the essentials , oh there is also a bathroom in my room , empty as well with only the basic things such as the shower and the sink , after taking a good shower, I get ready to sleep..m but then

— ..... mmm.... uh.... mmmmn...

headache , what is pretty weird.... it never happend to me , at first i thought it related to my job , so i figured out sleeping was a good way to relax my self....

— ....uh... the rain is getting Harder...hm.....mmmmm.....

It was hard but i finally could sleep while i was dreaming , i was at my office everyone and everything was weird , nothing really made sense there , i was a bit afraid since i never had dreams like that... and then Josef showed up

— Humui! We need you now!

— ....What?

— He has been killed! He has been killed!

— ....Who?

— He has been killed!

— He has been killed!

— ....

Josef was repeating this tirelessly , but he had a paper on his hands , I was out of patience so i took the paper..... i wish i dind't, there was a face of a man , a strangely familiar man , i can't tell who he was since i forgot what face i saw when i woke up , his face made my body freeze.... i couldn't move , and then a scene appeared in front of me , it was the Angelo Caio "suicide scene" there was a man holding a woman with a knife on her neck , Angelo was sitting on the same sofa he killed him self , the man then screamed

— WOULD YOU REALIZE HOW PATHETIC YOU ARE???? PULL THE TRIGGER NOW OR THE BITCH GETS CUT

— ANGELO NO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM , HE IS JUST MANIPULATING YOU , PLEASE JUST SHOOT HIM AND SAVE ME

— .....i'm.... i'm..... sorry... i couldn't keep the promise..... so that was my fate anyways... i deserve this..... and you deserve a life longer than mine

At the moment Angelo puts the shotgun in his mouth and pulls the trigger i woke up

— HUH?!...

i couldn't process what was happening , since i noticed blood was falling for my eyes , i went to the bathroom quickly and washed my face several times , it wasn't going away... until out of nowhere , the blood on my eyes vanished... it was like.... a illusion , i sit down on the bathroom floor and started to process what had happened, but everything seemed so jumbled at that moment.... my headache still continued, but weakly.... out of all of that , one thing was clear.....

— ... I need to go back there.
