The Fool and Her Groom (Part 6) (Deadly Life)
"Ah, excellent! Then you must have heard or seen of me once or twice," He claimed. "My codename here is Silver, a shade of grey, and I'm the Ultimate Television Host!"
Silver...
"Ah, of course, I do not love the fact that we're kidnapped. I especially missed my family last night, thinking about how we all say good night to each other before any of us go to bed," Silver clarified. "However, I choose to see the bright side of our situation. Negativity wouldn't do us any good, yes?"
Why...
Silver thought for a moment before smiling. "It is a simple story. One way or another, I ended up working as an intern for a popular TV show. Then, I worked my way up and became a TV host. Due to all my accomplishments, I was recognized as the Ultimate TV Host. Anyways, it is not I that I wish to talk about. Would you mind telling me some things about yourself, Mr. Crimson?"
Who did this to you?
Silver applauded. "We need to keep ourselves occupied while we're here or we'll go insane!"
How could they do this to you?!
We were all supposed to make it out together.
But someone was selfish and decided that their life was more valuable than yours.
So they killed you.
And now they'd get to leave...
All of us alone...
The Ultimate TV Host was killed, by someone who couldn't resist Monokuma's motives. He was having such a good time here, he was by far the one who was the most ready and willing to stay here forever. He entertained us all with his 'Trivia Game Night' and we were even talking about holding another one.
But now there was no way that could ever happen...
"A body has been discovered! Please gather in the announcement room ASAP!" Monokuma's voice sounded over the loudspeaker.
No need to gather anywhere, we were all already here.
And we were all feeling the effects of Silver's death.
"N-no..." Rose cried, her hands shakily covering her mouth.
"AHHHH!" Cloud screamed, his eyes wide with fear and his mouth agape in horror.
"Silver!" Scarlet exclaimed, tears falling from her eyes.
"Why..." Azure whispered. "Why did this happen..."
Sunrise was speechless, and did nothing but stare at the body of the Ultimate TV Host with wide eyes, probably the most vulnerable I've seen the Ultimate PIlot.
"No..." Noir sniffed. "It can't be..."
"This is terrible!" Cherry cried. "Poor Silver!"
"Please, look away, Cherry." Frost advised, looking rather sick but still worrying more about Cherry than himself.
Indigo couldn't get out any words, as she was quietly sobbing, her face buried in her hands.
"Rest easy, Silver..." Onyx sighed, glancing away from the body.
Sage said nothing but closed his eyes, turning his head away.
Diamond shook her head, seemingly disappointed with the killer.
Cotton looked sick to his stomach as he looked at Silver.
Royal had moved away from the body, and was now glancing at the floor with a hint of disgust on her face.
"I'm sorry, Silver..." Mauve said. "I couldn't protect you..."
"Who could do this..." Emerald frowned, a tear falling from her eye. "Whoever did this is a monster!"
Lava sighed as she saw Silver's body. "I'm not surprised, but disappointed..."
"Quelle horreur..." Merigold whispered, closing her eyes and shaking her head.
All of the happy and drunken emotions we had felt from the alcohol were long gone. They were replaced with feelings of sadness, of dread, of despair.
And they were about to get worse.
The vile Monokuma appeared next to Silver with a gleeful expression.
"Upupupupupu...Looks like someone was going stir crazy! Too bad Silver was the one who had to go! He was one of the interesting ones." Monokuma cackled, holding his paws up in front of his face.
"You..." Diamond glared. "You let this happen."
"Why of course!" Monokuma nodded. "I did encourage you all to kill if you want to go home, so I'm not surprised one of you gave in!"
"...So that's it, huh?" I frowned, my fist and teeth clenched in anger towards the killer. "Now the killer gets to walk free with someone of their choice, while the rest of us are stuck here until the cycle continues?!"
Monokuma cackled once more, this time more sinisterly. "Not exactly..."
"Hm, is that not what you promised?" Sage questioned.
"Well, yes." Monokuma nodded. "But I didn't mention one tiny little detail."
"And that is?" I asked.
"Just killing someone is way too easy, even that fat kid managed to kill someone." Monokuma snickered. "The real fun of the killing game is that you have to get away with murder!"
"Get away with murder?" Mauve repeated. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Allow me to explain!" Monokuma answered.
"The one who murdered Silver is now blackened, while the rest of you are the spotless! You will all have a chance to investigate Silver's murder. After a certain amount of investigation time, you will all then participate in a class trial! Make your argument for who you think the blackened is! Make the right choice, and you're all safe, while the blackened is punished! However, make the wrong choice, and the blackened goes free, while the rest of you are punished."
Our faces turned from sad to confused.
"...Punished?" Cotton repeated. "Does that mean you're going to inject us with Despisocide?"
Monokuma shook his head. "Incorrect! I have a more elaborate, 'fitting' punishment for whoever loses..."
So, if what Monokuma was saying was true, we'd get a chance to investigate Silver's murder. Then, we use the evidence that we've collected to participate in an Ace-Attorney esque class trial? Finally, we'd have to decide who the 'blackened' is. If we're right, they alone are 'punished'. If not, then, the rest of us are punished while the blackened goes free.
One part of me was angry at Monokuma for letting this happen, but another part of me was determined to figure out who killed Silver and avenge him.
I turned to look at the faces of everyone. We were all still saddened over Silver's death, but I think now we had a fire in us.
A determination to find his killer.
And make them pay for what they did!
"Now then, I have drawn up a file to help you start the investigation!" Monokuma announced, pulling out a tablet. "It's the Monokuma File!"
He tossed it to Sunrise. We all immediately gathered around him to read what it had to say.
The Victim is Silver. The body was discovered in the announcement room.
The estimated time of death is 1:09.
The cause of death is unknown. He has no external wounds. There is a trail of blood leading from his mouth.
A white powder substance can be found on his tongue.
I almost started to tear up again. He's really dead...
This...Monokuma File or whatever didn't really seem to help us out. No cause of death? We already knew the time of death was about 13-ish minutes after the game was over, sometime during Sage and Sunrise's fight...
"Anyways, bye bye now!" Monokuma waved. "I think in honor of Silver, I'm going to eat some fish!"
As per usual, he disappeared.
The announcement room was silent, with the exception of a few people's lingering sobs.
I looked down at the floor, closing my eyes shut. No matter how much pain we were all in, we couldn't afford to sit around and cry. We had to do this!
For Silver!
Investigation Start
"Come on, everyone," Sunrise said, snapping his fingers. "We have to focus or we're all dead meat."
"The pilot's right..." I sighed. "If we don't collect enough evidence to find out who the killer is and we vote for the wrong person, we'll be punished."
"Way to restate everything I just said..." Sunrise muttered.
"Where do we even start?" Mauve frowned. "I don't know about any of you, but I've never investigated a murder before."
"I can help!" Noir volunteered, raising her hand. "I know I'm not a detective or anything, but I know a thing or two about how to investigate!"
"Sure..." Sunrise sighed. "Better than nothing."
"I'm assuming you'll also be doing some investigating, right, Sunrise?" I questioned.
"Obviously, asshole." Sunrise answered. "We'll all be investigating. Anyone and everyone will be doing something, not just sitting around crying or feeling sorry for themselves or Silver. I'm not dying because you guys were too depressed to do anything."
A harsh delivery, but a true statement. We all needed to be doing something in order to put the pieces of Silver's murder together.
About a minute later, and Sunrise commenced the investigation.
We were all allowed to do what we wanted to, as long as it was doing something to investigate.
I immediately knew the first thing I wanted to do. Who knows, I might have already solved the murder!
I walked up to the number one suspicious person of the 19 of us.
"Royal." I called.
She was currently sitting on a chair, pretending to look busy.
"What do you want?" She asked, not even bothering to look up at me.
"Isn't it obvious?" I questioned. "What the hell were you doing standing over Silver's body? Besides, when did you even go with him to the announcement room?"
She scoffed. "Are you seriously suggesting I murdered the TV host? Please, as if I would risk messing up my manicure..."
"Royal." I frowned. "If you don't tell me what you were doing, we're all going to think the killer is you. And if you truly are innocent, then we're all going to be 'punished'. I know you don't care about the rest of us, but do you really want that for yourself?"
Royal sighed, slowly looking up at me. "Fine, I'll tell you. But it's not as interesting of a story as you think."
"I was growing bored of watching Sage and Sunrise's fight, so I thought I'd see what's taking that TV host so long. When I entered, I didn't see him or anyone else. So, upon walking a little further into the room, I found out why. He was laying on the ground, dead. I went to check on him to verify, and when I realized he actually was dead, I screamed and alerted you all. If it wasn't for me, Silver probably wouldn't have been found at all. Well, at least for a while."
I rolled my eyes. "That's it? You didn't see anyone leave or enter the room?"
Royal thought for a moment, before shaking her head. Then, she looked like she realized something. "Well, I am quite observant, as you may know. Before Silver entered, I noticed he looked a little worried. Ah, and I noticed that the room smelled like tequila. Which is unusual because Silver had been drinking a peach bellini all night, which as you may know, contains no tequila..."
"Finally, something useful..." I muttered, mentally taking down a note of her testimony.
Truth Bullet: Royal's Account, obtained!
"Anyways, I didn't kill that man," Royal claimed. "I tolerated him. He did not bother me as much as some of the others here..."
I sighed and walked away. So, she's suggesting that she has it in her to kill, just not those who she 'tolerates'...
As disgusted as I was, I had to check up with Noir about Silver's body. Just my luck: It looked like she just finished examining him.
I slowly approached Silver's body and Noir, making sure to not look at the unfortunate TV host in the eyes...
"U-um, did you find anything, Noir?" I asked, trying not to pay to much attention to how badly I wanted to throw up right now.
Noir frowned. "Well, not anything we didn't already know. It's clear that Silver's body lacks any external wounds, so I don't believe he was stabbed or anything. I'd deduce he was probably poisoned!"
Poisoned, huh. That means he ate or drank something that did him in...
"What's that glass next to him?" I asked, pointing.
Noir turned, picking up one of the shards of glass. "It's...a cup, I think!"
Then she nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure! Look at this piece, it's cylindrical while the rest are normal. This must've been the stem of the cup, while the rest of the pieces are the actual glass part."
"Interesting. So he must've dropped his drink when he started to feel the effects of the poison." I noted.
So Silver died from a poisoned drink? But when he went into the announcement room, he wasn't carrying anything...
Truth Bullet: Noir's Account, obtained!
"Thanks, Noir." I nodded.
"No problem-o!" She smiled. "Happy to help where I can."
I saw nothing more of interest in the announcement room, so I left for the time being.
In the dining room, I went over to the possible murder weapon: the bar table.
If Silver really drank a poisoned drink, then maybe there are some clues here...
Mauve had all the alcohol, juices, syrups, and mixes that he used to make the various drinks laid out. Damn, looking at all of this, Monokuma really went overboard on providing us with this stuff...
Truth Bullet: Bar Table, obtained!
There were some pre-made drinks on the table, very close to where we played the trivia game.
Truth Bullet: Pre-Made Drinks, obtained!
This peach bellini looks like someone drank out of it...
Wait...
"All four teams are tied! We're all winners!" Silver announced, taking a drink from one of the tables and toasting it.
Could this be...the drink that Silver drank?
And if so, is it the one that killed him?
Ugh, but that still doesn't explain the shattered glass in the announcement room!
Truth Bullet: Drunken Peach Bellini, obtained!
Nothing of interest left here.
OK, this music is annoying the shit out of me now! The party music was still playing, and this particular song was unusually and annoyingly loud.
I walked over to the music player Monokuma gave Sunrise to use, and looked at the song playing.
It was some random EDM song 30 minutes long.
"What the hell..." I muttered. I paused it and smiled. "Much better." It's almost impossible to hear anything over this, except if you're yelling like Sage and Sunrise were.
Truth Bullet: Long & Loud Song, obtained!
OK, now that that's over with, I wanted to check something out...
The laundry room...I had been here just hours before, when everything was peaceful and OK. Now, it was complete and utter chaos as we were forced to solve a murder...
Anyways, I came here for one specific reason: look at the packaging for the poison.
Yup, that's right! This dumbass already knows what poisoned Silver! The powdery substance on his tongue, as well as a comment from Royal, helped me realize almost immediately what the poison was: laundry detergent.
"This is laundry detergent. It's definitely a poor quality, is probably lethal upon ingestion and not the type my family uses, but it's the only thing the vile Monokuma provided us with."
There was only one box of the laundry detergent packets opened. I grabbed it, and looked it over.
Huh, weird. There was the same exact number of packets left from when Royal took one to use. So, whoever poisoned Silver took the packet before I did laundry today...
Truth Bullet: Number of Laundry Packets, obtained!
I then read the back of the box, searching for something specific.
WARNING: Mono Pods are lethal upon ingestion. Death will begin to occur just one minute upon ingestion, so please, feel free to use this as poison!
Well, that told me everything I needed to know. The culprit clearly got the idea of using poison when they read this box.
Truth Bullet: Mono Pods Warning, obtained!
Alrighty, that's it for here.
I entered the dining room and spotted two familiar faces.
"What's going on here?" I questioned.
"Look, Crimson." Azure frowned, beckoning me over to him.
He and Rose were currently looking at the drink table, holding up one of the peach bellinis.
"Sunrise kicked us out of the announcement room when he saw we weren't doing any investigating." Rose blushed. "But thankfully he did, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed this."
She picked up another peach bellini and held it up to the one she was already holding.
What? The first peach bellini that she was holding was strangely lighter in color than the second one. And not just a little bit, it was pretty noticeable if you were looking for something off about it.
"What's this mean?" I asked.
"You've already figured out what poison killed Silver, right?" Azure asked.
I nodded. "Yeah, thanks to Royal, I'm 99.9% sure it was the laundry detergent."
"Then we're all on the same page." Rose nodded. "Anyways, I think the reason this peach bellini is lighter in color is because of the laundry detergent."
"What do you mean?" I questioned. "Are you suggesting..."
"Someone poisoned this drink with the laundry detergent." Azure sighed, a sad frown on his face.
Truth Bullet: Poisoned Drink, obtained!
"This is so fucked up." I groaned. "I don't even know what to think anymore..."
We all said we'd keep our 'trigger fingers' to ourselves, but now Silver's dead and there's a poisoned drink out in the open. Someone clearly had murder on their mind for quite some time...
But, I wonder...Is the person who poisoned this drink and the person who poisoned Silver the same?
"We'll get through this, Crimson." Rose said, placing her hand on my arm. "Stay strong."
"I'll try." I sighed. "It just sucks. I thought I could get used to living here against my will since I had all of you guys, but now Silver's gone and one of us is a killer..."
"I know everything seems hopeless now, but we can do this." Azure smiled, placing his hand on my other arm. "We've gotten through everything so far unscathed, so we can do this too!"
"Yeah," Rose smiled. "And we're stronger when we're together, so let's stay by each other's sides, OK?"
I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, you guys are right. Sorry, I'm just shaken up about this whole thing. I never expected anyone would give into Monokuma's motives..."
"Don't worry, Red Eyes, I'll help you through this!" Azure beamed.
"Again, you have red eyes too, Az..."
After investigating in the dining room, I decided to head back to the announcement room in order to search for something I needed.
I begrudgingly walked over to Silver's body. Noir was investigating something else, so I was good to do my own investigating of his body.
I looked closer at the corpse of my silver-haired friend. His expression was blank, likely a result of y'know, dying.
I cringed a little as I searched his pockets.
Forgive me, Silver...
I searched all his pockets and patted his body down...
But, I didn't find what I was looking for!
"That's weird..." I muttered. "Where's his room key and e-Handbook?"
Truth Bullet: Missing Keys and e-Handbook, obtained!
Silver needs his key to get into his room, so why would it be missing...?
Tch, who am I kidding? The killer probably stole them.
I sighed, looking around the announcement room for any more clues. But alas, I had run out.
I was left with no choice but to ask His Royal Highness for help...
"Sunrise," I called, tapping the pilot on the shoulder.
He turned around with an annoyed expression on his face. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy trying to save all of our asses?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever..." I said, rolling my eyes. "I wanted to ask you something."
"Spit it out." Sunrise frowned.
"Well, I wanted to know how you think the killer killed Silver." I explained. "Like, how were they able to go into the announcement room, hand him a drink, and then come back out before anyone noticed? Or, if you go with our other theory that the peach bellini he drank before he went in killed him, then what do you think about the shattered glass?"
Sunrise thought for a moment before sighing. "Look, I'm not a detective or any of that shit. But, I have a thought about your first theory. I don't think any one of us noticed the killer going into the announcement room because of a certain event..."
"Ah, you're talking about your argument with Sage, right?" I inquired.
"Yeah..." Sunrise answered. "All of you idiots were too focused on us to notice the killer going in...And by the way, as far as your second theory goes, I have no idea, so figure that one out yourself."
Truth Bullet: Sage and Sunrise's Argument, obtained!
"Thanks for the help." I nodded. "You're not that bad of a leader, y'know..."
Even if he could be a hot-headed dick sometimes, Sunrise wasn't doing too bad of a job as leader. I wonder if we'll vote to impeach him after all...
"Sure..." Sunrise muttered. He turned away from me and went back to investigating.
I looked around the announcement room, looking for something to do so Sunrise wouldn't kick me out.
That's when I spotted a crying dancer.
"Scarlet, what's wrong?" I asked, approaching her. She was currently sitting on a chair, silently sobbing.
She looked at me in surprise and quickly wiped her tears away. "O-oh, nothing!" She claimed, mustering up a smile.
"Feeling a little sad about Silver?" I questioned, taking a seat next to her.
"U-um, yeah..." She nodded. "I can't belive he's gone..."
Oh, that's right. Scarlet and Silver were assigned by Sunrise to wake everyone up every morning. I guess they had gotten close.
I didn't really take Scarlet for the crying type, though.
Truth Bullet: Scarlet's Crying, obtained!
"Hey, he's in a better place." I said, patting her shoulder. "He's with all of his loved ones who passed away rather than being stuck in this place."
Scarlet slowly nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Still, I'm just so sorry...U-um, sorry that he had to suffer when he died. Nobody deserves to die like that..."
As she spoke, her eyes started to water again.
I felt so bad for her; she was taking this thing pretty hard.
Still, I had to keep investigating.
I gave Scarlet some more words of encouragement before leaving her.
"Diamond," I called. The photoshoot choreographer turned to me.
"Yes?" She asked. "Please make this quick. I'm trying to figure out who would benefit from Monokuma's motive."
"Sure," I nodded. "Anyways, I was just wondering about bodyguard duty...Mauve had prepared some drinks earlier today, right?"
Diamond nodded. "I assume so. There was already a bottle prepared in the fridge when Shadow and I started our shift, so yes, he could've made it earlier today."
"OK, thank you." I said. "That's all I needed."
Diamond nodded once again and went back to thinking about who would benefit from the motive.
Truth Bullet: Pre-Made Drinks, updated!
Truth Bullet: Bodyguard Duty, obtained!
"Mauve!" I called from across the room. The card dealer raised a brow and made his way over to me.
"Crimson." Mauve acknowledged. "What do you need?"
"Just a question." I started. "I wanted to know when you made the first batch of drinks for the party."
"Yesterday." He answered. "I made a bottle of Long Island iced tea, just to brush up on my drink mixing before the party."
"Long Island iced tea?" I repeated. "I can't remember anyone drinking that tonight..."
Mauve shook his head. "For some reason it smelt a little weird and no one wanted to try it." He shrugged. "At least my other drinks were a hit."
"Thanks, Mauve." I said.
I was starting to piece some things together.
"No problem." He nodded. "Let me know if there's anything else you need."
"Crimson," Merigold smiled upon seeing me. "What brings you here?"
I had decided to go to the rec center to look for any possible clues. I was kinda getting a little desperate...
To my surprise, I found Merigold sitting on a couch, reading a book.
"Merigold." I smiled back. "I just came to look for some clues, but I'm a little doubtful that I'll find anything."
Merigold slowly shook her head. "Sorry, but I've looked around a little bit and haven't found anything."
I nodded. "Figures..." I took a seat next to her. "Whatcha reading?"
Merigold showed me the cover. "A Star and the Sun by Edward Lane. I'm loving it!"
"What's it about?" I asked.
Merigold giggled. "I'm warning you, it's a little cheesy! I needed a break from all the language learning books I read!"
"Aw, c'mon, I like cheesy!" I laughed. "And hey, I could use a good cheesy story right now to distract me from this nightmare we're trapped in."
Merigold nodded understandingly. "Well, there's two main protagonists: Lina and Dante. Lina, befitting of her name, is a ballerina, who has been performing since she was a little girl. Her dreams are cut short, however, when she gets in a plane crash while traveling to Paris for a performance. She finds herself stuck in the hospital, with her only companion being a man who was also on the plane when it went down. As the two begin to get to know each other, they start to fall in love!"
"Sounds...cute." I said. Love stories weren't really my thing, but I'd much rather hear about Lina and Dante then Monokuma and the HFH Enterprise.
"It is," Merigold beamed. "Although, Lane just introduced a plot twist! Turns out, Dante was the assistant pilot of the plane!"
"Oh damn," I chuckled. "So now Lina 'hates his guts', right?"
Merigold laughed. "Yup!"
"You must really like that book," I noted. "You're like 3/4 of the way through already."
Merigold nodded. "Yes, and I just started it yesterday! After I was done with server duty, Sunrise made me replace Onyx as a bodyguard because he wanted 'his muscles' to help set up...Even though I explained to him he was breaking his own rule of not being a server and a bodyguard on the same day, he still made me do it! Of course, I wasn't going to just stand around with Noir talking my ear off, so I snuck away to the rec center, picked out a random book from the fictional section, and started reading it in the kitchen throughout the rest of the day. I guess there was a silver lining to being picked as a bodyguard that day, because if I wasn't, I never would've discovered this book!"
Truth Bullet: A Star and the Sun by Edward Lane, obtained!
"Well, I'm glad you're enj-"
My voice was cut off by Monokuma's signature chime.
"Okey dokey, folks, I think that's enough investigating for now. I'm getting tired of waiting, so it's time for the long-awaited class trial!" Monokuma cackled, his voice echoing throughout the ship.
I sighed, glancing at Merigold.
"Please prepare yourselves for a little nap! I'm going to take you somewhere very special..."
"What?" I said, raising a brow. "A nap?"
Suddenly, I felt myself growing tired. I didn't know why, I was full of adrenaline just seconds ago...
My eyes gradually closed. They felt so heavy that I couldn't even try to open them.
Then, I felt my body start to shut down, as I collapsed on the floor...
My eyes fluttered open. I was laying on something cold and hard.
I slowly lifted myself up, and observed my surroundings.
Everyone was here, all 19 of us. Mostly everyone was awake.
We were in a plain and dark room, with the wall and floor both being metal. There was a door leading out and another elaborate, red door leading somewhere else...
"Fucking Monokuma..." I grumbled, fully picking myself up.
So this is what he meant by 'prepare yourselves for a little nap'...
"What is this place?" Cotton questioned. He was trying to open one of the doors, but it looks like it was locked.
"No idea." Onyx frowned. "Though this must be what Monokuma meant by 'a special destination'..."
"H-he's not going to hurt us, is he?" Indigo sniffed. "I thought we were supposed to do a 'class trial'?"
"Knowing him, I wouldn't be surprised if he lied to us." Emerald frowned. "All he does is play games and tricks!"
A few minutes later, and everyone was awake.
"Monokuma." I called. "Where the fuck are you?"
Surprisingly, the pilot appeared in front of us.
"Yessss?" He questioned. "I'm a little busy, y'know!"
"Doing what?" Frost inquired. "You've kept us all waiting in here for far too long."
"I'm preparing the punishments!" Monokuma answered. "This time around, they're going to be bigger, better, and bloodier than ever before!"
"Uh, what the hell are you talking about?" I frowned.
"Anyways, it's time, everyone!" Monokuma announced. "Please enter the door, and I'll be right with you guys..."
And with that, he was gone.
There was a click, coming from the elaborate red door.
"Here goes nothing..." Mauve sighed. He turned the knob, revealing an...elevator?
"An interesting elevator, indeed." Diamond noted.
"Is this how the rich live?" Cotton thought aloud.
We all slowly entered the elevator.
There was only one button, pointing up.
Being the closest to it, Royal pushed it.
"Don't fail me, idiots," Royal said. "I'm not dying because of your stupidity."
"Hey, we're all in this together." Merigold protested. "We all need to participate and help figure this out, not just a couple of people doing all the work."
After that, the elevator was quiet other than the rumble of its engine.
I looked around at each of my classmates, feeling a sense of dread.
Next time we rode this elevator, how different will things be?
Will 1 of us be gone, with only 18 of us left?
...Or will the killer, having gotten away with it, be riding back, along with the 1 person they think deserves to live?
A/N: And the investigation is complete! This is my first case in a while, so it's not the best, and it's not hard to determine who the killer is, but I still hope you guys enjoy nonetheless!
Make sure to let me know who you think the killer is, and how/why they did it!
Thanks for reading and supporting this story, see you guys in the next one.
