Son of a submariner! When will this end?


Gregory's Theory

"The key here, Your Honor, is time. Two gunshots were heard, two bullets were fired, but neither hit the victim. Because he had already been shot and killed earlier!"

"Oh… oh!" The Judge's eyes widened, the stands becoming abuzz with chatter.

"Yes. Or possibly later, though my personal bet is it happened earlier."

"Why yes," the Judge nodded. "That does make sense."

Manfred opened his eyes from where he'd stood in silence, and gazed about contemptuously. "… what is your point?"

Gregory blinked. "What do you mean?"

"Whether there were three bullets fired that night or not, it has no impact on the defendant's guilt." Yet another fingersnap (Gregory was developing a migraine from them).

"But this entire set-up is pointless if Miles is the killer! Who'd be crazy enough to try to frame themselves?"

Manfred smirked. "Crazy? Since when is murder a sane act?"


Fifty down, who knows how many to go... ah, for the days when I thought this would end around 20.
