In my teenage days i solve 2 local crimes.
A murder and An extortion, those crimes ---the police never solved them.
I did.
I did not do it by reading.
I did it by doing my own investigating.
My mother was vice mayor of minglanilla then when her trusted assistant was murdered in lower pakigne minglanilla. the police arrested a street bum named Jun.
They said they recovered a knife from him and he was heard confessing to the crime during the victim's wake.
Case closed.
guess what?
I did not believe them.
The victim who is medium build sustained 18 stab wounds of 3 type different weapons
and he was killed by a single person?
how would he do it?
knives on both hands and later add a third weapon to stab the victim?
I examined the dead body, and i found in his clinched hand, a big black button commonly used in military jackets and ROTC uniforms. I went around asking for people who saw somebody wearing a military jacket.
It was a time when it is not safe to wear military jackets.
Either you will be mistaken for an NPA or NPA mistake you as a military and you could be killed either reason.
In my investigation, only two people wore those jackets, one was gay and one works for us.
first i investigated the gay guy but no one sees him as a violent man. the one who works for us isactually my mothers first degree cousin.
He did not report to work after the crime because he has a bad stomach.
He was also seen drinking with 2 other workers on a hut near the scene of the crime.
I found out he has a previous record.
But he and the 2 others never returned for work. He said he has to go to Bohol, the others have shallow reasons to quit their jobs.
What I did, I send our security guard to bohol.
I let him pose as an NPA, with a rifle and a straw hat for effects.
I let him visit the house of the suspect.
When he was there, the father of the suspect was scared and offered the information willingly.
He said his son stabbed a trusted worker of his cousin.
Long story short, I solved it.
So, I'm not the type of person you can tell to read just to solve a problem.
I even solve a problem even if it is not my job to do.
I investigate.
I do the leg work.
In this subject of conspiracy theories, I read all there is to read.
Ive learned a lot, for sure and that is because my mind is open.
I was hoping we all learn can from this thread.
