Another day have passed, another body was found, another family was broken, and a new case was born.
Kinabukasa'y napuno nanaman ng napaka-raming pulisya ang buong campus ng Annex University.
They've been there since the day of the latest incident.
Unang buwan palamang ng klase at mayroon nanamang naganap na nagpagimbal sa buong eskwelahan.
Ngunit kagaya no'ng nauna ay minabuti ng mga may-ari ng Annex University, na huwag na munang iparating sa mga media ang kung ano mang panibagong sakuna na tumama sa kanila.
Dahil ayaw ng mga ito na mabahiran nanamang muli ng napakalaking kontrobersya ang kanilang pinaka iniingat-ingatang paaralan, even though rumors have already spread throughout the whole city about what have happened.

"Victim name, Clariza Angelio. Gender, female. Age, 16. Time of death, 8:35 in the morning. Cause of death, a bullet through the head," iyon ang mga sinabi ng isa sa mga imbestigador mula sa kanyang kasamahang pulis, habang binabasa sa kanyang maliit na notebook ang mga naisulat niyang impormasyon mula sa nangyaring krimen.
"It turns out, na mayroon palang naka-kabit na malitt na baril mula doon sa kamerang kanilang ginagamit bago mangyari ang insidente," wikang muli nito. "How it got there was easy. Ipinasok ito no'ng salarin sa mismong loob ng camera, and after 30 shots, the trigger was pulled, killing the victim instantly. The only problem is, whoever put it there is still a mystery."
"Just like from before," wika naman noong babaeng pulis. "At tsaka, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, pangalawang katawan na toh mula sa same school hindi ba, sir?" She asked.
The man sighs.
"Yep! At hindi lang yo'n.
Kagaya no'ng na-unang estudyante, eh galing rin itong si Ms. Angelio sa same class kung saan naka-enroll si Mr. Guantero. Coincidence? I don't think so," aniya pa.
"So, posible nga kayang... Kung sino man ang may gawa nito ay may intensyong isa-isahin ang mga estudyanteng galing lamang sa iisang section?" Tanong nitong muli.
"Probably. If another one of them bit the dust, this theory might get confirmed. Siguro mas maigi yata munang bigyan ng proteksyon iyong mga bata. Because whoever's doing this is not just some kind of normal citizen living in our city," he says in monologue.

Every single one of the students from the same class we're asked questions one by one, interviewing them about what happened.
Ngunit paulit-ulit lamang ang sinasagot ng mga ito.
Na wala silang alam sa kung ano man ang biglaang nangyari.
They were just shooting for their class picture, and none of them were aware that one of them'll be shot literally straight through the head and die.
Nalulungkot ang mga ito dahil sa katutohanang nabawasan nanaman sila ng isang kaibigan, ngunit gayo'n pa ma'y nagpapasalamat rin silang hindi sa kanila tumama iyong bala.

Matapos ang ilang oras ng pag-iimbistiga ay naidiklarang, hanggang sa ngayon ay misteryoso pa rin ang pagkamatay ng dalaga, same case as the last one.
It was dubbed as another one of the new mysterious butcher case made by the San Pawing murderer who goes by the name Jarface.
A mysterious person who's motives are still blurry.
