MURDER AT MAPLE MANOR
POSTED ON Oct 31, 2023 2:49:07 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","enzo"] [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","sideinfo"] [attr="class","charimage"] [attr="class","pkmn"] [attr="class","text"]The buzz of the error light blinks on as the three of them watch. How strange.. His head tilts to the side as Cillian Quinn holds up the cracked TR. “It’s kind of odd that they left this with the rest. Why not toss it out?” It seems to be a moot point, though, because where does it lead them? How was it used? Those are questions that can’t be answered standing there at the case. So when Cillian suggests they take their investigation elsewhere, Hazel agrees with no protest.[break][break] As he heads toward the hall, however, he pauses when he notices the strange man from earlier sorting through foul laundry with someone else. “You go on ahead, I’ll be right there.” He nods to the underboss, and shifts directions.[break][break] He doesn’t know what possesses him to stop and assist Grigori Sokolov and howard slayte as they rifle through the disgusting heap, because it’s positively rank. Perhaps it’s the slip of paper that flutters to the ground unnoticed, which he stoops and picks up with careful fingers as his nose wrinkles in distaste. “Here, I think one of you must’ve dropped this,”[break][break] Hazel holds the paper out, willing one of them to take it from him. Once it’s relinquished, he picks through the remaining heap— curious as to whether or not any more of these notes might be found within the confines of stiffened, sweaty fabric. [attr="class","ooc"] At least rifling through disgusting laundry proves insightful, in the end. The pockets of sweaty, discarded clothing yields yet another crumpled note. And not one to be taken lightly. As thunder cracks and then begins to wane outdoors, Hazel sighs and attempts to re-fold the paper into neater fashion before following his fellow rummagers out in the main hall.[break][break] And seriously— where on earth had howard slayte produced that detective’s cap from? Had he had one on his person the entire time for absolutely no reason at all. He nudges the archaeologist with an elbow as he passes, an amused huff at the way Howard deflates once the theory is offered before he can make his own grand reveal. “Next time, bring a wooden pipe along too. Maybe you’ll deduce quicker.”[break][break] All the same, though, he nods his agreement with the rest and then offers the notes for further examination, pulled from his pockets and offered with much less panache or flourish. “I’m inclined to agree. These notes and the spent TR doesn’t bode well for Andrea, when held up next to everything else.”[break][break] Hazel shrugs, unbothered. It is easy to agree, because he didn’t puzzle it out quite as quickly. Regardless, it seems the most credible theory by far, and it would do them little good to suggest any other alternative. — [break] NOTES - murderer: andrea[break] - method: an electric-move on, then a poison-move on peacock after that[break] - motive: all those stinky smelly gambling debts and threats[googlefont=Poppins] [newclass=.enzo]--accent:#b0a7db;[/newclass] [newclass=.enzo]font:12px Poppins;letter-spacing:.2px;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo.body"]background-image:url("https://image.ibb.co/cpf8Wc/flower_patt.png");background-position:bottom;background-repeat:no-repeat;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo a"]font:12px Poppins;color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo b"]color:var(--accent);font:bold 14px Roboto;letter-spacing:.1px;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo i"]color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo u"]text-underline-offset:3px;text-decoration-color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo h1"]font:bold 16px Poppins;color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo h2"]font:bold 15px Poppins;color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .sideinfo"]width:150px;padding:20px 0px;float:left;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .text"]padding:20px 40px;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .charimage img"]border:8px solid var(--accent);border-radius:50%;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .ooc a"]font:bold 15px Poppins;color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .pkmn div"]background-color:var(--accent);[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .pkmn img"]margin:5px -10px -10px -10px;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .credit"]font:10px Poppins;text-align:center;[/newclass] [newclass=".enzo .credit a"]font:10px Poppins;[/newclass]
