Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Early Exit Made the Junior Detective Snap: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

"Everything is ready, sir. We can move out as soon as you give the order."Hearing that familiar voice jolted me out of my daze, and to my shock, I realized I'd actually been reborn."We've been on this case for three whole months! Once it's over, we must go for drinks."My teammates, who were beside me, were buzzing with excitement, their expressions marked with exhaustion and eager anticipation.However, my throat tightened. I didn't know how to respond to their enthusiasm. I knew that we weren't going to be the heroes in this case.However, regardless of that, I quickly checked my watch. It was ten minutes before our scheduled departure."Move out now. We'll take the side path on the west and try to get there as fast as possible!" I commanded.Everyone stared at me in confusion, but I couldn't explain things to them. All I could do was watch the time with growing anxiety.When we reached our target location, my heart sank.Nathan Sloan had already led a team of city police

I could hardly believe my eyes. Hands trembling, I clicked on the link to Nathan's interview.During the interview, Nathan faced the reporters' pressing questions with a calm smile, openly stating that he had a special ability to see things from the murderer's perspective.Using that ability, he was able to identify the unique serrated knife and used that to lock down the culprit.The reporters had a field day."He can actually see things from the murderer's perspective! No wonder Officer Sloan always solves cases first.""The criminals in our city better watch out now. No one can escape Officer Sloan's eyes!"While the other reporters were buzzing over the news, one of them stood up and asked keenly, "Since you entered the police force, Captain Jennings, who had a solid reputation before, hasn't solved a single case. What's your take on that?"My team, who'd noticed my sudden pause, leaned in to see the interview as well, just in time to hear Nathan's response to that question.

After getting back to my rented apartment, I started typing on my computer."City life is far too complicated. I'm going to retire and enjoy a quiet life instead."After emailing my resignation letter to Chief Hudson, I yanked out the SIM card of my work number and tossed it away. Then, I left with my suitcase to catch the last flight back to my hometown.Now that my phone was not buzzing at all hours of the day, I slept on the plane with an eye mask to keep the light out. It was the best and most restful sleep I'd gotten ever since I joined the police force.When I appeared at the doorstep of my family home with my suitcase in tow, Mom was so emotional that she couldn't stop crying.Clutching my hand, she said, "All that matters is you're home safe. Come on, then. Let me take a good look at you!"Due to the nature of my work, Mom was constantly worried about me.Marie Boone, our housekeeper, quickly took the things out of my hands and welcomed me into the house as well.Now th

Everyone watching the livestream was dumbfounded."What happened? Why did the stream cut off?""I thought it was my connection that got cut off, but I did notice the strange looks on the officers' faces."Most people were confused as they tried to understand what was going on. Only some of the more knowledgeable ones realized that something was off."He just said the victim was bound while alive, which is why the body curled up, but high heat alone naturally causes a body to curl.""He also claimed the killer used a flame weeder to burn the body! Was he being serious about that? If that were true, the killer would've had to spend ten to 15 days just sitting there waiting for the body to burn!""Is he really a genius detective? Why does he lack such basic knowledge?""He even insisted he saw the murderer's escape path and claimed the guy lived in the high-end mountainside residential neighborhood in the eastern suburbs. Are you kidding me? Does he know the kinds of big shots that

Over the phone, Nathan sounded frazzled as he growled, "Has Caleb figured out what's going on? Why is it that his last deduction was riddled with so many ridiculous mistakes, compared to his previous ones?"Everyone's chewing me out now. Even my superiors have put me on temporary leave and told me to stay home. What should I do now? Hurry up and help me think of something, Mr. Lowry!"Mr. Lowry quickly calmed him down."I just got in touch with Caleb through his old boss, Chief Hudson. He claims that he hasn't been in the right state of mind ever since the setback he suffered from the recent events. But he's feeling a lot better now and plans to investigate the case properly." Hearing that, Nathan immediately tried to tap into my thoughts about the case. Sure enough, it was different from before. This time, my deductions were logical and meticulous.He was thrilled."See? There's nothing to worry about," Mr. Lowry said. "I told you before. Someone like Caleb will never be able t
