The Butcher Code: Floating Sail of Voyage

Start from the beginning
                                        

"At doon na nga papasok ang table method, ladies and gents," at last Henry started his deducting show, "Kung saan ay ipinapatugtog ng murderer ang rock music between 12 to 1 am or 1 am to 2 am to essentially hide the noise that the table (where there's part of the body) makes after it is removed by somebody or let me call, the customers of the murderer.

"Let me have a brief discussion, though. Since Miss Flyer Girl is working outside the restaurant premises during work, people won't see her true actions while she's out. Who knows in reality what she really do kung kaunti lamang ang empleyado ng restaurant to check upon her deeds, walang masyadong tao na gumagala around the area of the restaurant to see if she's really on her work or not and importantly as an employee and a flyer girl, she really had no purpose on going outside to give flyers and advertisement at the given hour of between late at night and dawn.

"Wala siyang pagbibigyan ng flyers at that hour. Someone said that the restaurant doesn't just put its advertisement on flyers but it also, well let's say occasionally since the opening of the restaurant, endorse its services via word-of-mouth, posters and social media. Now I'm thinking that it's quite weird that the restaurant had to recruit a flyer girl in the first place even though it's a position that any employees can multitask on, if we are talking about the restaurant's ad.

"Given the circumstance that the restaurant only opens at dark hours, the endorsement of the restaurant through a flyer girl that comes out to display the ad is not of prevalent necessity. The flyer girl's job can be done by other employees. I wonder what's the reason for recruiting this position?"

Henry paused and stared on the Manager but the latter didn't budge. Henry continued, "The acts of the flyer girl are also peculiar. Ah, no. This is not only about her. Everything in the restaurant seems peculiar, including the other employees."

His lips put a smile of pride while his eyes move to every employee of the restaurant until it rested on the flyer girl in the end, "But let's emphasize how the flyer girl manage to deceive us with 'his' talents," he really emphasized that pronoun, "Kaduda-duda that when my companion and I went to this mysterious rural-like community because we're quite roaming it yesterday, agad kaming sinalubong ng 'flyer girl' of your restaurant.

"Kaduda-duda that this 'girl' is not interested on what we're voluntarily saying to her but instead, pinipilit niya kaming papasukin sa restaurant using her persuasion of 'free food' and a bit of 'forcing advertisement'. It's also suspicious na kababae niyang tao, ay non-conservative siya on her dangerous work but that can be possibly because she just came from New York just like what she told us when we asked her about it.

"During our conversation, I noticed that she's quick to change topic, mostly repeats her attitude towards us and wanted to left us eventually that time. Also at that time, right!" Henry enlarged his eyes that made him look like he already had an idea, "The crazy guy who is in possession of a corpse part is outside where the flyer girl also works. Therefore, at that time, the alibi of the flyer girl having an affair with the part of the corpse that a crazy man gave to us, can be removed now.

"I could remember the crazy man's face yesterday, he's running away from someone. Who could that someone be? It's quite impossible na nanggaling ang parte ng bangkay sa crazy man na iyon because what do crazy people know about formaldehyde? A person who is only knowledgeable about preservation could get a grasp of that in the first place. It's also impossible that the crazy man is in disguise. Like what I'm saying, he is already putting a trap around his neck just by giving that death hand to us with lots of his fingerprint."

"So you are suggesting na siya ang murderer just because nasa labas siya kagabi kung saan siya lang ang pwedeng tao na makasalubong ng baliw na nagbigay sa inyo ng isang parte ng patay? Na ang mga misteryosong gawa niya para i-advertise ang restaurant ang naging foundation niyo para sabihing siya ang may gawa ng krimen? Na sa kanya galing 'yung kung anumang nakita niyo kahapon at kung ano ang nasa ilalim ng lamesa ng resto ngayon? O baka naman gumagawa kayo ng kwento para may maipakitang-gilas lang kayong mga pulis sa amin? Siguro hindi na kayo sumisikat kaya nag-iimbento na lang kayo ng mga ebidensya kuno para magkasweldo kayo? Imposible 'yang mga sinasabi mo!" the waitress bursted.
