There was once a town filled with different classes of criminals, kidnappers, theft, slanderer, murderer and all that belongs to a crime, name it, they got it. Their court judge had enough of the problems the town was facing. In some cases, few were evicted who have claimed that they were innocent. Some weren’t justified because of lack of evidence.

There was an old man who went to the bakery to buy a piece of bread for his grand daughter. He held with him his counted or budgeted amount of money, when a group of young people came to the bakery with him and have him as a hostage while their other fellow member pointed a gun at the cashier. And they took the money out of the machine and ran away. But the old man tried to fight back. They unmercifully shoot the old man at the back that lead him to spleen bleeding. He died laying down on the floor bathed by his own blood. Until that time, nobody could point out the suspects of the crime. The cashier and security guard didn’t recognized the suspects because they we’re wearing bonnets on their heads and hurriedly went out.

Another crime was a family who were rich and famous were the center of the kidnappers ideal prospect of kidnapping. They had a daughter who was studying on the University near their house, a walking distance away from their house. She would usually just walk in going home to maintain the atmosphere of being humble enough to just take few steps in heading home. His father have taught her not to be boastful of their current status because all will just pass away and they couldn’t bring their riches when they die. At the very day on the morning before she was kidnapped, she bid her mother goodbye with the sweetest kiss on her cheek. They could never have imagined that was the last time their daughter went home. It was already late at night when her parents started to worry and have contacted some of her close friends but she wasn’t with them. The kidnappers then called and asked for 2 million dollars as a ransom for the girl and if they failed she would be brutally killed. The girl’s parents were willing to pay the exact amount of money as asked. So, they both went to give the money and bring their daughter back. They went to an abandoned factory where the kidnappers held their daughter captive. As they headed there, the police officers had already been following them from behind to back up. The representative of the kidnappers went out to get the money from the parents. But when he heard the police patrol that came over he shot the girl at the head and went away.

The girl underwent comatose for quiet a long period of time. A witness have given a statement regarding the suspects who have parked their car just in front of the University during that day. They have waited there for the girl to go home. They have been observing her for few days until the time she was kidnapped. The witness gave the sketch of their faces and the plate number of the car they have been riding on. But the car was retrieved not far away from their town with nobody in it. Until that very time the crime was unresolved.

There was corrupt officer of their town. He would create strategic plan that would lie about their monthly income in the town and have the extra money handed over him to his own pocket. He wasn’t proven guilty because he has posted each of the official of the government their monthly share. But then one honest man stood up by him to prove him wrong and wouldn’t give in to bribery. He went to the court to file against the alleged corrupt official. But the said official fought back at his allegations by telling lies about him that he was under medication of having schizophrenia, the official showed falsified documents at the court with the signature of another bribed psychologist. The case was then closed and pleaded the corrupt official as not guilty because their evidence were strong enough to prove him wrong of the allegations he had at the corrupt official. The honest man was then filed a case of slander and had been imprisoned for few years. Another unfair and unresolved case.

The court judge went to a magician who had been trustworthy of the job the he was making. The court judge asked him to provide a mirror that would indicate each of the suspects on every crime’s face, appearance and of course location. It had to be done to stop the rampant crime the town was facing. But the magician still need to study few of his grandfather’s written books, and it was locked down at the basement of their house. He needed to wait for two more years to have the lock opened. So, they waited and many cases of the court we’re pending and still unresolved. After the long wait, those cases would then be put to justice. Families of the victims would rejoice that their family member would be at last given justice.

The mirror had limitations, it could only accumulate three cases on a week. So, the family members and or owners would be listed on the court’s big book to have their cases scheduled for trial. The listing would be from the oldest to the latest crime or cases. The procedure would be to let the victim stand in front of the mirror and it would bring back the day when the crime happened like a flashback or watching a true story movie at the mirror. It will then indicate the faces of the criminals, each one of them would be pointed out with their basic information, like their names, address ad their physical appearances. It will then conclude which location they are hiding at that very exact time. The police officers will hurriedly come to the said place to jail the criminals without any further court appeals because the mirror was accurate and thought to have told the truth as its purpose.
