Rei: The first thing we should all do is stick together. Everywhere you go, have at least one other person with you. Also, every team should stay in one room tonight at least until morning when the real police arrive. Is this okay with everyone?
Tyson: Yes, uh, I agree with Rei.
Every team agrees and returns to one room to try and sleep. The Bladebreakers remain behind.
Kai: Idiot.
Tyson: Hey! I thought that went pretty well.
Max: Now what? Should we just go to bed as well?
Tyson: No, we have a case to solve.
Rei: Shouldn't we just leave everything to the police? So the crime scene isn't tampered with?
Tyson: True, but the killer could return to the scene to clean up any evidence left behind. (Everyone stares at him) What?
Kenny: I… I can't believe Tyson actually said something intelligent.
Rei: Yeah. That's pretty rare.
Tyson: Hey!
Max: I'm in. If Tyson is determined to find the killer, I'll be glad to help. It's not like him to get so excited and smart at the same time.
Tyson: Hey!
Kai: Whatever.
Rei: So where should we start Tyson?
Tyson: Hmm… don't know.
Kenny: Don't know!
Kai: Waste of time.
Rei: Probably the crime scene first to check for evidence. Afterwards we should question everyone about their alibis. Sound good?
Kai: How did Idiot become the detective when Rei's doing all the work?
Tyson: I'm working and the detective! Now let's do what Rei said.
Max (whispers to Kenny): I don't know about Tyson being detective. This case will never be solved.
Kenny (whispers back): With all of us, even Tyson can't screw up.
Max and Kenny follow behind Rei and Tyson while Kai takes the rear. They arrive at Mr. Dickenson's office.
Rei: Now remember, don't touch or move anything. If you notice something bring it to everyone's attention. Okay, let's go.
The Bladebreakers follow Rei into Mr. Dickenson's office. Inside the office, a bunch of disheveled books lay on Mr. Dickenson's desk and shelves. Papers were scattered everywhere, some stained with their manager's blood. Without touching anything, The Bladebreakers were getting nowhere.
Tyson (frustrated): I can't work like this! I need to get closer but that'll ruin evidence!
Kai: Tyson, if you can get some rubber gloves, powder and clear tape, I could help find out the killer's fingerprints.
Kenny: Well, I have some rubber gloves, paper, and tape but no powder.
They all look towards Max.
Max (getting nervous): What?
Tyson: Hand it over, Max. We all know you must have powdered sugar.
Kenny: Yes. You practically always bring mustard and sugar everywhere you go.
Max (gives up): Fine.
Max hands over a big bag of sugar and gives it to Tyson.
Tyson: So, what do I do with this?
Kai: Open it and spread it over some things.
Tyson (excited): Okay!
Rei: That was a good call on the powdered sugar, but how come you know what to do? I don't think that's common knowledge.
Kai (whispers): I was at a murder investigation once.
Kai looks away from Rei. Meanwhile, Tyson and Max are fighting over the sugar.
Tyson (complaining as he pulls the bag): Let go!
Max (complaining too as he pulls the bag in the opposite direction): I want to put it on something!
Kenny: You guys should really stop before… (but before Chief could finish, the bag ripped apart and powder went everywhere) before the bag breaks. (Annoyed) Ugh.
Max (laughing): Ha ha Tyson, you look like a ghost.
Tyson (annoyed, then laughs): Well so do you.
Kenny: Well, now what?
Rei (holding a laugh): Max and Tyson should get cleaned up.
Kai: Yes, go get clean. Rei, Kenny and I will dust all the powder away.
With that said, they all went to do their jobs. Max and Tyson returned ten minutes later all clean to see most of the powder gone.
Tyson (looks around, excited): Wow, it really worked. I can see some fingerprints!
Rei: Yeah, but now we need to tape them.
Kenny: There are two sets of fingerprints in this room.
Rei: Okay. Get one of the smaller prints and one of the bigger.
Kenny (gets the fingerprints): Okay, got them. Now what?
Kai: Put the prints in a bag. We'll give them to the police tomorrow.
Tyson: Now what?
Kai: You're the detective, you figure it out.
Tyson (getting mad): Why you…
Rei: Hey guys, it looks like the small fingerprints go from the desk to the bookcase.
Tyson: It looks like the killer was searching for something.
Kai: So they were looking for something, huh? That gives them a motive.
Kenny: Hey guys, in one of the books with the killer's fingerprints on it, there were some pictures inside.
Tyson: Hey, how come there's a picture of us circled in red?
Rei: Not just that. Look. (Points to five pictures that are circled in green)
Tyson: Who are these people?
Max: Hey look. There are some names written on the back.
Kenny (flips picture over and reads the back): "Lily, Leon, Stanley, Boris, and Voltaire."
Everyone (shocked): What!
Tyson: Okay, now we know that the killer is one of the Demolition Boys.
Rei: Why would you say that?
Tyson: Because they are getting revenge for Boris and Voltaire.
Kai (blunt): No.
Tyson: What? Why not! It gives them a motive.
Kai: All the Demolition Boys could give a rats ass about Boris and Voltaire, let alone kill for them.
Tyson (suspicious): Oh really? How would you know?
Kai: I use to be on their team, remember?
Tyson: Oh yeah.
Rei: Well, we only know three people in that picture. If we figure out who the other two are that could help us solve this case.
Tyson (excited): Yes, two clues and it's not even midnight!
Kenny (nervous): Tyson, I think we should becareful.
Tyson (confused): What! Why?
Kenny: We were circled in red. Doesn't that make it seem like we're the next targets?
Tyson (blunt): No, not really.
Rei: Besides we don't know if Mr. Dickenson circled us in red or if it was the killer.
Kai (blunt): It was the killer.
Everyone (shocked): What!
Max (confused): What makes you say that?
Kai: There are smaller fingerprints on the red marker.
Tyson: Wow, so we could be targets?
Kai: Yeah.
Kenny (panicking): How can you just stay so calm! We are targets! We could be killed!
Rei: Relax, Kenny. As long as we stay together, the killer can't get to us.
Tyson: Yup, all we have to do is stay together! That shouldn't be too hard for us but... (Glances at Kai)
Kai: I won't go getting myself killed.
Max: Hey guys, looks like this one drawer is stuck. I think it's locked.
Tyson: Well, let's find the key.
Kai: Tyson, we came here searching for a killer, not some treasure hunt. (Punches the drawer as he says this, making a hole large enough to open it)
Tyson: Wow.
Rei (looking in the drawer): Look, Mr. Dickenson has a lot of letters in here.
Max: I see a tape.
Tyson (pulls out a necklace): Hey, what's this?
Kenny: It's a necklace but it's shaped weird. Hold on to it.
Tyson (excited): Okay. (Places the necklace is his pocket.) Now, let's listen to the tape!
Kenny: We can use Dizzy.
Kenny places the tape in Dizzy and they listen. The tape is old so the audio comes out fuzzy.
Woman: "Our baby is so cute."
Man: "Yes. And now that we have a child, we have to leave the research."
Woman: "I know, Leon. It would put our child in too much danger."
Leon: "Yes. I'll call Stanley in the morning and tell him our decision."
Woman: "I'm just worried that because this beyblade is so powerful, it could do so much damage."
Leon: "Lily, don't worry. Everything will be fine. We'll hide it and only Stanley will have the only clues to find it. Even he won't know the location."
(Tape ends)
Rei: So Lily and Leon were married and had a child.
Max: Because of their child, they quit and hid the beyblade.
Tyson: So the killer must be after this blade since they were around this area.
Kenny: Most of these letters are threats from Boris and Voltaire.
Max: Except one. Look this one isn't a letter but a note. It looks like it might be the first clue from Lily and Leon to Mr. Dickerson except it's in some code.
Rei: We'll just have to decifer the code then. Okay, so what's on the note, Max?
Max (reading the note): It says:
1 195,318,520 129,519 239,208 914 208,919 81,521,195 31,221,519
1,185 8,944,514 2,385,185 920 3,114 25 61,521,144
208,919,914,615,181,312,091,514 191,513,515,145 9 3,114 2,018,185 919
23,120,518 2,085,185 919 85,120 22,120 85,185 208,525 3,114 851,216
131,115 1 20,185,120
Tyson (confused): Huh? Why would they use numbers?
Kenny: It's simple. Each number is a letter. So if that's true then it says- a aieaheb abbebcibh iad…
Tyson (still so confused, his head begins to hurt): Okay stop. It's confusing enough!
Kenny: I'm positive that's the way it is, but the letters are all mixed up. Maybe I have to rearrange the letters.
Kai: No. This is complex but simple.
Tyson: Simple! Are you nuts! It's way too confusing.
Max: Quiet Tyson. I think Kai knows what he's talking about.
Rei: Okay so Kai, care to explain?
Kai (annoyed): Fine. Look each number is in the thousands. Well it's obvious that there is not that many letters in the alphabet. Kenny had the right idea, but if you look there is a space between most of the numbers. Each space must mean that one bunch of letters is a word. Now if that's true, the first letter is "a" but the next would be "s".
Tyson (confused): "S"? Why would you use "s" if the number is one. Wouldn't it be an "a"?
Kai: True but think. There are twenty-six letters in the alphabet, which means the 1 and 9 could become 19 which would give us "s". Now if I do this right then the note says, "A secret lies within this house. Clues are hidden where it can be found. This information should only be read by someone who I can trust. First clue- where there is water, there is heat but here they can help make a treat." I believe that's what it says.
Everyone's mouth drops in surprise at how quickly Kai was able to solve the clue.
Max: Okay, works for me.
Rei: So, where is water and heat?
Kenny: My guess is the bathroom. You know, hot water.
Rei: I don't think so…
Tyson (excited): The kitchen!
Max: The kitchen?
Tyson: Yeah. In the kitchen, you boil water on the stove which heats it up. And of course, there is always a treat in the kitchen.
Kenny (sarcastic): Count on Tyson to think with his stomach.
The Bladebreakers walk into the kitchen and begin searching around the stove. All except Tyson, who went straight for the fridge. Rei is the first to find something.
Rei (lifts up the base of the stove): Guys, this is loose. Somebody help me move it. (Kai helps) There's a note.
Max: At least it's not in a code again.
Rei: It reads "Congrats, the chosen child. If not, then quit. This next riddle is at the highest place here, where it's brown and green and where there is a small swing that the Child of blood refused to use."
Tyson: Lily and Leon's child must have come here once.
Max: And there was a swing for their child but they never used it.
Kenny: Mr. Dickenson must have known the child.
Tyson (sarcastic): That's helpful. Mr. D knew about all the bladders before we even met each other.
Rei: So it's one of us bladers here at this house.
Max: It would seem so.
Kai: This riddle leads us outside in the backyard. I saw a swing there before I came to dinner.
Tyson (excited): Okay, outside!
Kenny: Wait Tyson!
Tyson: Ahhh! Cold wet cold wet.
Kenny: Raining outside.
Tyson (comes in wet, sarcastic): Thanks for the warning.
Max: We didn't bring any raincoats.
Kai (walks outside): It's just rain. No big deal.
Rei (yells): Kai, come back!
Tyson: Doesn't he know the rule? The first one to get separated from the group is going to get killed.
Max: Ha ha. You watch too many murder movies, Tyson.
Outside, Kai walks towards a big tree with a wooden seat and rope-made swing. The down pouring rain makes Kai's hair sag and clothes cling to his body, soaked. Ignoring his discomfort, Kai starts to climb the tree. When he gets to the fifth highest branch, he notices something in a mix of blood and mud.
Kai (whispers): It can't be…
