"Hm" Lee said typing on the computer on his desk.
"What you up too" Ellen asked coming to stand behind Lee looking at his computer screen.
"Well, last night I showed the grandfather the picture Jake drew and asked him about it. He tried to pretend he didn't know anything about it but I finally got an answer out of him." Lee explained.
"What he say" Ellen asked.
"That it was an old Chinese legend, he thinks Jake just took the villain of stories he told him about and put it to the face of our killer." Lee stated "But I decided to do a little research."
"What kind of stories are you getting" Ellen asked interested on what would make Jake draw something so odd.
"None" Lee answered. "I've looked for old Chinese folklore with a character like the drawing but none came up. But I found that there's a cult."
"A cult" Ellen asked.
"Yeah," Lee said then went on. "The same symbol and dress code as the picture. There's not a lot of info on them but it said the ancient cult believed that there's a magical realm that hides among the human world. They believe their mission in life is to destroy all magical beings."
"Well a bunch of nutcases, I swear every cult just gets wilder" Ellen said with a little laugh at how ridiculous it sounded.
"There's more," Lee said. "All the members have a birth mark in the shape of a dragon. They believe that the mark is a proof of destiny to slay the most powerful of all magical beings, a dragon. Only by slaying a dragon are you a true member of the clan. They are trained since birth to slay dragons."
"Well, how did a member of a dragon slaying cult change to slaying humans?" Mick asked unknown to the two he was listening to them the whole time.
"I'm not sure but I did a little dragon search" Lee said. "And a few things I pulled up said that dragons can take on the form of a human."
"So our murder is a psycho cult member who thinks our family of victims was a family of dragons and killed them all" Mick asked.
"I guess" Lee answered.
"What I don't get is if he wanted to kill the whole family why are the boy and his grandfather still alive" Ellen thought.
"Well the grandfather said he was out with some old friends till late so he wasn't there." Lee stated "And the boy… you've got me on that one."
"Maybe the boy changed into a dragon and fought our murderer off" Mick said joking.
"This isn't a joking matter" Ellen said.
"Fine," Mick said then went on to say "O and by the way the results of the hair came back."
"And" Lee asked.
"It inconclusive" Mick answered.
"Say what" Ellen replied.
"The test shows it is indeed animal hair but it doesn't match any animal in the world" Mick explained tossing the results and plastic bag on Lee's desk.
"This is getting complicated" Lee said.
The detectives just gave a sighed.
