"Bakura, go for it." Croquet said, looking very bored.
Bakura stepped forward and began his story, "I was in the conservatory. I'd been there for quite a while too. I stayed there until I heard tea scream."
"Hmm. Well, why were you in the conservatory?" Croquet asked.
"I was thinking." Bakura answered. "And in case you care, I have no motive. I already have what I wanted from Pegasus. His millennium eye. I don't need him any more. He's not worth my time. I wouldn't bother killing him."
Croquet sighed, "Yeah, I know. But still. You could have done it. No one knows where you were. Perhaps, you thought that Pegasus was trying to get his item back and you wanted to get rid of him for good. You left the conservatory and went into my room where you knew my gun was kept. I remember you seeing when I last put it away. You broke the lock open and took the gun. You then went to the billiard room to kill Pegasus. You shot him and threw the gun next to him. You then left and went back to the conservatory where you waited for someone to discover the murder."
Bakura smirked, "Nice try Croquet but why would I break the lock when I've had the key all along." He held up a little silver key, the one that opened the lock box.
"Where did you get that?!" Croquet stammered.
"I grabbed it from your pocket." Bakura answered.
"Fine. So you have the key. But that doesn't mean you didn't break the box open. IN fact, it makes since that you have the key. You planned to use that in your excuse for not doing it. You broke the lock in order to fool us. You stole the key earlier when I set it down on the table. You hid in the conservatory until I was gone. You then went back into my room. You were about to open the box with the key but you realized how easy that would be to figure out. You left the room and found the lead pipe. You went back to my room and broke the lock the old fashion way. You took the gun and killed Pegasus." Croquet said, finishing his story.
"Your forgetting that Joey opened the box." Bakura reminded him.
Croquet thought for a moment. "Then I suppose you were headed to get the gun out of the box when you saw in on the floor and decided that someone had already done it for you. You took the gun and shot him, assuming the other person would admit to the crime."
"It makes a bit more sense than the last two stories but it's wrong. I didn't leave the conservatory. But where were you during this time? You still haven't been accounted for and what should make us think you wouldn't kill your own boss. In fact, it would make sense if you had killed him. He was always putting your life in danger and he never seamed to care about anyone but himself. Why couldn't you have killed him?" "That's ridiculous. I was with Master Pegasus almost the entire time. I left only to get him a drink and then I came right back." Croquet said calmly.
Bakura shook his head some, "Fine. If none of us did it, then who did? One of us must be lying. Which one is it?"
They all looked around at each other, trying to figure out who had lied about where they were or what they had done.
