Hunted down a new story! Love it! Must write story!
"The murderer was you, Mr. Henoka!" Shinichi pointed his finger at a middle aged man in a brown coat.
"What! It's impossible! I was out having a drink with my friends, there is no way I could have killed Seri-kun! What proof do you have?"
"The evidence is right here!" Shinichi said while pointing at a pile of rope in the corner of the room. "Seira-san, did Henoka-kun leave while he was partying with you?"
"He did once, but just for a few minutes…" Seira said clenching her hand up to her face. "Who are you anyway?"
"Just a detective, this is my second case," The FAMOUS Detective lied. "But that rope and the fact that you left for a few minutes is the evidence! Since you only left for minutes, you would not have been able to leave the building…"
"See, then how could I have murdered Seri-kun?" Henoka protested.
"You had it all set up. This rope is long enough that you could have operated it from the café below. If you had it all set up, you could make it like a trip wire with just one touch. That's why you left, to trigger the attack. You can clearly see that he was shot with a cross-bow. The cross-bow was set to a time that it would shoot, AFTER it was activated. You used the rope like a lasso, turning on the timer there for killing his right at his desk. I bet we can find your finger prints all over that rope."
"Smart, but there is a hole in your little speech," the man smirked. "The murder happened on the second floor, how could I use the rope then huh?"
"Simple, I'll show you," Shinichi said calmly. He walked to the window and wrapped the rope around the 'on' switch and let the other end of the rope dangle. Shinichi walked down to the window on the bottom floor and pulled the rose, turning on the timer. He walked back upstairs once again confronting Henoka. "It was you who murdered Seri!"
"Well, what if he deserved it! He stole my wife away from me, and then shattered her heart! He deserved to die!" Henoka pulled out a gun from his coat and pointed it at Shinichi, "And you do two!"
The sound of gunfire echoed around the room and Shinichi fell to the ground.
"Kudo-kun!" Inspector Megure yelled.
"Kudo!" everyone gasped in surprise. Three policemen ran over to the man with the smoking gun and held him down, placing handcuffs around his wrists.
Everyone else ran to Shinichi. The bullet had hit him in the side, his shirt soaked with blood.
Shinichi looked up once more at everyone's faces that were filled with concern, and then passed out.
Cliff hanger!
