In Today's Case: Casle's Murdered Daughter Part 2

"Maybe some washed the blood stain or something." Richard stated. Tess looked at Richard shaking her head then looking back at the floor. Conan rolled his eyes.
'That wouldn't make any since. Why would someone wash the stain?' Conan thought.
"No." Tess said. Conan looked at Tess. "No one would wash the blood stain on the floor but not on the desk. There was something laying here." Tess added. Conan looked over at spotted something on the floor.
'What's this?' Conan thought. He picked it up. 'It's dog hair. What is dog hair doing here?'
"What did you find Conan?" Tess asked. Conan looked at Tess who was standing behind him. Conan turned around to look at Tess. He handed Tess the dog hair.
"I found some dog hair lying on the floor next to the desk." Conan answered. Tess went to take the dog hair when Richard snatched the dog hair. He grabbed Conan by the back of his shirt and then tossed him out of the room.
"I SAID GO DOWN STAIRS!" Richard yelled. Rachel looked up at the cat walk where Conan hit the bars. Rachel looked at Mrs. Casle and Maxi.
"Mrs. Casle, where's Mr. Casle?" Rachel asked. Mrs. Casle's dog jumped out of her hands.
"He hasn't returned from work yet." She answered. Maxi looked at Mrs. Casle.
"Why didn't you call him to tell him what happened?" Maxi asked. Mrs. Casle looked at Maxi with a dirty look.
"I did."
"Sure."
"Maxi, why do you dislike Mrs. Casle?" Rachel asked. Maxi looked at Rachel.
"Because every time Keya..."
"Her name is Keya?" Rachel asked.
"Yes I told them already. Back to what I was saying. Every time Keya would go out with her dad Mrs. Casle would get jealous. Mrs. Casle is Keya's step mother. They would argue a lot." Maxi said. Rachel nodded her head.
Conan stood up to look at Richard. Tess smacked Richard then grabbed the dog hair out of his hand.
"Don't be so mean! Conan was the one who found the dog hair! Not you!" Tess yelled. Tess looked at Conan. "Come on in Conan, don't mind him." Tess added. Conan smiled then entered the room. He stuck his tongue out at Richard. Richard pulled out his fist. Tess looked at him with her arms crossed. Richard lowered his fist. Tess looked at the dog hair. She looked at the stainless floor. Tess smiled. Inspector Maguire looked at Tess.
"What are you smiling about?" he asked. Tess looked at Inspector Maguire and smiled.
"I know who the killer is." Tess said. Conan looked at Tess surprised. "Come on. I'll tell everyone who it is down stairs." Tess added walking down the stairs. Conan watched her as she stuck her hands in the pockets of her jacket walking out of the room.
'She's fast. And good. Just a little too good.' Conan thought. Conan left the room when everyone was gone. He walked down stairs then took a seat next to Rachel. Rachel looked at him then at Tess. Once everyone was seated Tess stood at the sides of the two couches. She looked at the floor then up at everyone. She smiled.
"The killer is Mrs. Casle." Tess said. Mrs. Casle stood up from her seat.
"I wouldn't kill my own step daughter!" she yelled. Tess looked at Mrs. Casle.
"Sit down and let me explain." Tess hissed. Mrs. Casle sat down. Tess looked at everyone. "Mrs. Casle murdered her step daughter. Whatever was going on with her and her daughter, she didn't like it. So... she decided to kill her. When she killed her daughter she forgot to let out her dog from the room. Since her dog was sleeping at the side of the desk when the blood poured over it go onto her dog." Inspector Maguire stood up.
"Tess, you don't have any proof." He said. Mrs. Casle stood back up.
"Yeah you don't have any proof if I killed Keya!" Mrs. Casle yelled. Tess smiled. She opened her hand to show the Inspector.
"I have proof right here." Tess stated. Inspector Maguire looked at the dog hair. "Conan found it." Everyone looked at Conan and back at the dog hair. "Your dog is also another clue. Since the fur is so thick the blood would still be wet after 3 hours. Go ahead Inspector pet the dog." Tess added. Inspector Maguire walked over to the dog. He bent down and looked at the dog. He reached then he started to pet the dog. When he removed his hand he saw that there was blood on his white glove. He looked at Tess then he looked at Mrs. Casle. "This dog hair was lying right next to the desk."
"All right! I'll admit it! I did kill Keya." Mrs. Casle said. Maxi jumped up off the couch.
"How dare you! Why would you do that?!" Maxi yelled. Rachel and Richard held back Maxi as Maxi struggled to get to Mrs. Casle. Mrs. Casle looked down.
"I was sick and tired of Keya trying to take away my husband. She was always with him and he was always with her. I couldn't take it. So I killed her." Mrs. Casle said as a tear fell down her face. Maxi pushed away Richard and Rachel.
"She was you're step daughter!" Maxi yelled. Mrs. Casle looked at Maxi.
"She's right you know." Tess stated. Mrs. Casle looked at Tess. "You're supposed to take care of your children even if they're not yours. You're not supposed to kill them. You're supposed to be loyal to them, love them not kill them." Tess added. Inspector Maguire hand cuffed Mrs. Casle.
"All right come on." Inspector Maguire looked at Tess and smiled.
"You're pretty good. Richard you should bring her along with all of your cases she could help you." Inspector Maguire said walking out of the house. Tess took her hands out of her pockets. Richard walked over to Tess. He then put her in a head lock.
"You need to be thinking about school!" Richard said. Tess grabbed Richard's arms. She flipped him over her body slamming him on the ground. Rachel and Conan walked over.
'Great. Another person who can do karate.' Conan thought.

'Someone needed to tell Mr. Casle what had happened while he was gone for the day. Mrs. Casle got life in jail. That goes to show you that you should never murdered your step kids.'
