Murder Charges Over a Missing Order Chapter 9
Jacob looked confused. "The administration inspection?"Mr. Vale stared straight at me. "Why don't you ask your good friend about that? Make him tell you what he said to the administrators!"I felt the blood drain from my face. I'd almost forgotten about that incident."Because of one thing he said, I lost my shot at being named an outstanding teacher, lost my promotion, and lost my girlfriend!" Mr. Vale's voice grew more and more agitated. "My mom's dying wish was to meet my girlfriend. We'd already planned everything, but the day before we went to see her, my girlfriend dumped me."The next day, my mom died from the shock. He ruined my whole life! That's why I wanted to give him a taste of what it's like to lose everything!"Jacob stared at me in disbelief. "Jeremiah, is that true?"I wanted to explain, but the words stuck in my throat."I started with the people around him. I killed them one by one so everyone would suspect him. I wanted him to know what it was like to be com

The doorbell rang at 7:00 pm. I looked through the peephole and saw Jacob standing outside, holding a bag of fruit. He looked like he always did—friendly and harmless.If I didn't know the truth, I would never have believed he'd killed three people."Jeremiah, open up," he called, sounding relaxed.I took a deep breath and opened the door. I said, "Hey, you're here.""I brought you some fruit." He walked in with a smile. "You look a lot better."We sat on the couch and made small talk, drifting from school to everyday life. On the surface, everything felt normal, but I could feel a strange tension hanging in the air. Every now and then, the way Jacob looked at me had a depth I couldn't quite describe.After a while, he suddenly asked, "Jeremiah, do you believe in fate?""What?""I mean, do you believe some people are meant to meet and meant to be together?"His words made my skin crawl. "Jacob, what are you getting at?"He stared at me, his eyes burning with intensity. "I'm s

Captain Colson asked, "Thought of anything?"I shook my head. "Nothing yet."But inside, doubt was already creeping in. Was it really Jacob?After I got back from the station, I started replaying every moment I'd spent with him. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.Jacob really did care about me—but maybe he cared a little too much. He was always the first to know when something went wrong in my life, the first to show up and comfort me. And for all three incidents, he conveniently had a reason not to be in the dorm.That night, I remembered something. The night Louis died, I'd woken up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and noticed Jacob's bed was empty.Back then, I'd just assumed he'd gone to the restroom. But now that I thought about it, I had no idea how long he'd been gone.And the night Fred had died, Jacob had said he was going to the library to look something up. But the next day, when I'd asked the librarian about it, she said she'd n

That night, when I was packing up my things, only Jacob came over to help. He said, "Jeremiah, don't be too upset. I believe you're innocent."His words made my eyes sting. "Thanks, Jacob. You're the only one who still believes me.""Come on, we're friends. No need to thank me." He patted my back. "Go home and get some rest. I'll stay in touch."Then, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right. Be careful on your way home. It hasn't been safe around campus lately."I nodded and dragged my suitcase out of the dorm. The hallway was empty. Everyone else was hiding in their rooms, and not a single person came out to see me off.I felt a kind of loneliness and despair I'd never known before. And yet, deep down, there was still a faint sense of anticipation, a twisted hope that someone would pay for what I'd been through.The thought scared me. Had I really turned into some kind of monster?…The third day after I went home, I received a call from Captain Colson."Jeremiah, we've

"Everyone who died had beef with Jeremiah," someone said."Yeah. Louis stole his food delivery, Fred made fun of him, and John talked trash about him. Now, they're all dead," another person chimed in."You think he did it?""No way. He's so skinny and small. How could he kill guys like Louis and the others?""Maybe he hired someone to do it or had an accomplice.""I just think it's creepy. I'm staying away from him from now on."My heart sank. It seemed my classmates were starting to suspect me.…That afternoon, Captain Colson came to the school for the third time. This time, he called me straight into the administrative office."Jeremiah, I need to verify a few things again." His tone was much stricter than before. "All three victims had direct conflicts with you. Do you really think that's a coincidence?"I tried to stay calm. "I don't know why things have turned out like this, but I really didn't kill anyone.""Then who do you think would murder for you?"The question s

At lunch, Micah leaned over to me and whispered, "Jeremiah, don't you feel like the cops are paying extra attention to you?"I tried to sound calm. "It's probably because I'm the victim in all this.""But think about it. The two people who died are the ones who fought with you that day." Rita joined in. "Doesn't that feel a little too coincidental?""Coincidental? Come on, it's obvious someone's out there getting revenge for Jeremiah," Micah muttered, keeping his voice low. "Could it be some relative or friend of yours?"I shook my head. "No way. My family's super straight-laced. They would never do something like this. And I don't have any friends that vicious."Even so, a deep sense of fear crept over me. If the killer kept going, would I eventually become a suspect?The thought killed my appetite.…Three more days passed, and the horror made another appearance. This time, the one who died was John Moore from the class next door.I was in math class when the news broke. My
