Project 6: Photo Nº1: The third one.

  

         Detective Smith was standing quietly watching the horrifying scene that was in front of her, there was fear in her eyes as she was turning to me, “It Is the third,” she said, then I took a look at what she was saying, the extra awfulness of that scene, to the dog that was being held by the dead arms of the corpse, "the Taxidermian" had murdered again. I don´t like the word, but it was the name that the papers had nicknamed the killer.

             The first one was an old lady in her old-fashioned Victorian house and a dissected raven was found near the victim, we thought then that the raven was part of the house but then, a week afterwards an old fat train driver was found dead with a dissected snake around his neck. The papers started having "The Taxidermian" as headlines that week, I can even imagine tomorrow´s headlines "The taxidermian hits again" in the papers, and something like "Are the police as dissected as the animals founded with the victims?" in the tabloids.

             Detective Smith called me out of my thoughts when she moved the dog to let the forensics examine the victim, “Like the other two, this gentleman doesn´t seem to have any remarkable bruise or sings of a fight, it seems like you are going to have to wait for the autopsy to establish the cause of death,” the forensic said. "Yeah, like the other two,” I replied.

            I wasn’t very happy with the work that the forensics were doing, all my team in general, all of them were so dumb, so average, none of them found or were following any of the clues that I was leaving on the corpses.
