In Today's Case: Beach Murder!

Rachel, Conan and Tess came bursting out of the car. Rachel and Tess wore bikinis as Conan wore white swimming trunks. Richard got out of the car wearing dark blue swimming trunks.

"You guys are just going to leave to carry everything?" Richard asked. Rachel turned around as she ran backward.

"Just because we're on vacation doesn't mean you can't carry everything!" Rachel yelled. She turned around as she followed Tess and Conan to find a spot. Richard sighed as he walked to the trunk. He popped it open and pulled out a beach umbrella and a small hand cooler and some chairs. When he grabbed everything and shut the trunk he saw Tess gun lying on the back seat where she sat. Richard sighed as he walked over toward Tess, Rachel, and Conan as he started to set up.

"Tess do you always have to bring you're gun with you everywhere you go?" Richard asked. Tess pulled out her hair from her pony tail as she fixed her white bikini. She nodded her head.

"Yeah you never know what will happen." Tess answered. Tess looked over at Rachel as she fixed her light pink bikini. "Let's go swimming." Tess said. Rachel looked at Tess and she nodded her head.

"Okay!" Rachel yelled as they ran toward the water. Conan watched them as Richard set up behind him.

'True, you never know what's going to happen.' Conan thought. Then something hard came down on Conan's head. Conan rubbed his head as he turned around to see Richard holding the umbrella in his hand.

"Go swimming and leave me alone!" Richard yelled. Conan took toward the water. When he got there he saw Tess and Rachel driving into the water. When they came up they were holding sea shells and some string. Conan walked into the water as his feet touched the water. He jumped right out.

"AH! THAT'S COLD!" Conan yelled. Rachel and Tess smiled as they looked at him.

"It's the beach Conan it's going to be cold." Rachel stated. Tess nodded her head.

"Yeah so stop being a baby and some in already." Tess said waving him over. Conan walked into the water as he tried to stand the cold water. He swam over to them.

"What are you doing anyway?" Conan asked. Tess looked at Conan. She showed him a necklace that was done in sea shells.

"We're making sea shell necklaces." Tess answered as she placed the necklace of his head. Conan looked at the necklace as Rachel placed hers over Tess neck. Rachel handed her more string as Tess went diving into the water again making a necklace.

An hour later Rachel, Tess, and Conan were wearing sea shell necklaces. Tess ran up to Richard all wet as she got to her knees on the blanket.

"Hey Uncle." Tess called. Richard lifted his head off the blanket as he raised his sun glasses up onto his head.

"Yeah?"

"Did you bring the surfboard?" Tess asked. Richard nodded his head.

"Yeah it's in the trunk I didn't take it out." Richard answered as he laid back down. Tess stood up and ran off toward the car. She popped the trunk open pulling out the surfboard. She ran back down toward the water as she spotted Conan and Rachel watching the surfboarders surf.

"Hey!" Tess yelled. Conan and Rachel turned around to look at Tess. "I'm heading out." Conan looked at Tess.

"Can I come?" Conan asked. Tess nodded her head as she placed the surfboard onto the water. Conan got on and sat at the tip. Tess paddled out as a wave came toward them. Tess stood up as she started to surf with Conan on the end.

After that they went up to the ice cream stand. Tess brought a chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. She handed the strawberry to Conan and the vanilla to Rachel. They started to eat their ice cream. When they finish someone had screamed. Tess and Conan ran over toward a girl wear a blue bikini. She had her hands on her face.

"What's wrong?" Tess asked. The girl pointed to someone out far in the water. Tess ran into the water and dove right in. she swam toward a large man floating on his stomach. She turned him over to see the man missing an eye, Tess placed her hand over her mouth.

"TESS!!" Rachel yelled. Tess turned around to look at Rachel; she was just a small dot. Tess brought up her hands making a horn with thme.

"RACHEL! GET RICHARD! TELL HIM TO CALL THE POLICE!!! I FOUND A BODY!!!" Tess yelled. Rachel nodded her head as she ran toward her dad. Conan watched her as he turned back to watch Tess. He watched Tess as she grabbed the body by the swimming trunks and swam over toward a rock. She climbed up keeping the body near her.

When the police arrive they took out boat to pick up Tess and the body they went back to shore where Inspector Maguire, Richard, Rachel, and Conan waited. Tess jumped out of the boat. She walked over to Inspector Maguire.

"Inspector."

"Tess." The officers pulled out the body. Conan looked at it to see that he died of someone digging out his eye. It was weird. The only eye that was dug out was his left eyes, he right eye which was blue was still there.

"It looks like he died from someone digging out his eye." Conan stated. Richard picked him up about to boot in him in butt when Tess placed her hands on Conan pulling her away.

"Conan is right so don't you DARE kick him." Tess said putting Conan down onto the ground. Conan looked at Richard. Tess looked at the body. There was nothing wrong with him; the only thing wrong with him was that his eye was missing. Conan then found a rope mark around his neck. Conan pointed.

"Look there's a rope mark around his neck." Conan stated Inspector Maguire and Richard looked over to see the rope mark.

"The kid is right Richard."

"Maybe he was straggled then some dug out his eye." Tess stated. Conan looked at Tess. He looked back at the body.

"Sir." An officer called. Inspector Maguire looked at him. "We found to main suspects. The man's girlfriend and his best friend they each seem to have the motive."

"What is the motive?" Richard asked.

"Well he has good insurance." The cop answered. Tess and Conan looked at the cop kind of funny. Tess and Conan looked at each other. They looked back at the officer.

"Insurance... that's a low motive, but good enough for a murder." Tess stated.

'No. No there's something more to that. If it was just insurance then why would the killer dig out his eye?' Conan thought. Tess sighed.

"Well are they here?" Tess asked. The officer nodded his head.

"Yes. They're over there." The officer pointed. Tess walked over with Conan following her. Tess walked over to a woman wearing a one piece brown bathing suit she had blonde hair and she was really pretty. The man was wearing black swimming trunks his hair was black.

"May I please have our names?" Tess asked. The woman crossed her arms.

"Hmp. I don't have to give you my name!" The woman yelled.

"Um... yes you do." Tess said nodding her head. The woman turned her back. "Okay, who are you?" The man smiled.

"I'm Scott and this is Tiffany." The man told her. Tess nodded her head.

"I believe that you were told that you're main suspects about that man's death over there." Tess said. The woman spun around and started to yell.

"THAT MAN IS ALEXANDER!!! AND HE'S MY BOY FRIEND!" Tiffany yelled. Tess gave her a serious look.

"Well, you don't have to yell!" Tess yelled. Conan stared at the woman.

'She's hiding something but what?'
