SKULDUGGERY AND VALKYRIE 12

VCPOV

I can't believe Gordon. But I have no other choice, his facts are always right. Vendetta doesn't seem like a bad guy at all. She's awesome, kind and cool.

"w-wait vendetta? How than that be?"

"yes, but that's all I have. Maybe you should go and see chi- never mind"

"damn, right when you need to find out who the killer is when this specific victim is dead"

"or maybe it was foul play"

"but who would commit foul play."

"I don't know, yet. Who wanted china dead? And Valkyrie, find out in how china died."

"ok I'll text Vendett-"

"don't ask her, she's the prime suspect for my 1943 case. She knows that I've worked on that case. Ask ghastly."

"alright, uh… done"

"good now back to the crux of the matter, do we have any possible suspects?"

"well there's Jaron Gallow, Murder Rose, there might be vendetta or-"

I stopped because we both thought of the same person.

At the same time we said, "Scorn"

To ruin the moment, I got a text from Ghastly it read, "I don't even know. The autopsy is still in progress. I'll send a pic of the crime scene. G2g"

The picture was of china laying face-down with a few books near by. There's a few scorches on the wall, indicating that there was fire, the blood splatter reached the ceilings in an almost-straight line, I always forget what that meant but its crucial to discovered how she died. The corpse had no sign of punctures. The only hint on how she died was that the blood swarmed around her neck and abdominal area. There was also a small black dot but I couldn't make up what it is.

Seeing my sisters body in a 2-3 inch screen is a first. I never thought that china would die in such a normal way. I always imagined of her dying in a great battle, but no there's nothing wrong.

"so we know what the crime scene looks like, but what does this tell us?"

God, that remark. Why cant she think for her self? Eh. Maybe she's letting me be in the spot light. Or maybe she wants to know if I'm on the same page? I wonder…

"The blood spatter tells us that china was caught from behind"

"but there's no sign of damage on her back. Or maybe it's not her"

"hmm? that's a possibility. China is not the easiest person to take down. That is a large amount of blood on the wall I don't think that a person could battle from that wound."

"you're right, so there was another person?"

"that's what it looks like but where's the body?"

"maybe they shadowed walk. If so they couldn't have gone long, but this happened 4 days ago they're probably far from here now, though."

"true so lets think; who could do a clean cut creating a blood splatter. And who can travel fast?"

"what do u mean when saying 'travel fast'?"

"I mean that there are other ways of transport"

"ummm… I cant think of any one"

"well I thought of 2 people who fit. Tanith an sanguine."

On that brilliant thought Gordon was getting bored of listening so he returned to be a rock. I don't think Val noticed. On our way out through the corridors I thought now was a good time.
