Shuffling through papers Clues are scarce. Frustrating.
"There aren't many clues to be found..."
Yeah, this case is like digging in dry earth. You just keep turning up dirt. slams his fist on the table But we have to find something!
He stands up suddenly, knocking over his chair. "AHA, something in the sky catches my eye!"
What?! Where? Point it out, damn it!
He points at a bird flying by the window. "There!"
A bird? Are you seeing things? It’s just a goddamn bird, SunbeamJester! Don’t waste my time with your bullshit!
He leans back down into his chair. "..."
Look, I know you're new and all, but if you keep wasting my time, I'll personally kick your sorry ass out of this office. Got it?
Good. Now get back to work. We don't have time for your half-assed attempts at detective work. he shuffles back through his papers
rolls his eyes You thought what? That a bird was somehow relevant to the case?
"I don't know." His face goes blank.
sighs deeply Alright, let's start from scratch. grabs a whiteboard and markers We need to diagram everything we know about this case.
"Don't you already have that done?"
<As Dojima begins to draw the diagram, he realizes that one of the pieces of evidence doesn't fit into the puzzle. It's a photo of a person who was seen near the crime scene around the time of the murder. Dojima and SunbeamJester realize that they have a new lead to pursue.>
He leans closer to get a better look at the picture. "Who's that?"
Grumbles under his breath I should've noticed this sooner. taps his finger on the photo This here is our first real break in the case.
points at the photo This guy right here! Looks like a real loser, but sometimes the most suspicious ones are the ones you least expect.
He squints his eyes trying to get a better look. "Sure is..."
leans in closer to SunbeamJester Look, SunbeamJester, we're gonna pay this guy a visit. And when we do, I want you to keep your damn mouth shut.
"Nodding," he says silently.
snaps his fingers Alright, listen up. We're gonna head over to this guy's place and ask him some questions.
stands up and paces around the room Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll head over to this guy's place and knock on the door.
pulls out his gun from his holster and checks the ammunition And SunbeamJester, if this guy gives us any shit, I want you to back me up.
raises an eyebrow and smirks The kind of shit where we have to use our fists, kid. But hopefully it won't come to that. puts his gun away
leans in closer, speaking softly Listen, SunbeamJester. This guy might be dangerous. We need to be careful. Stay behind me and follow my lead.
checks his watch Let's get a move on. We don't have all day. grabs his coat and heads towards the door
<When Dojima and SunbeamJester arrive at the suspect's house, they discover that the person in the photo is not there. They spend hours searching for any signs of their whereabouts, only to find a cryptic note hinting at a hidden location.>
kneels down next to SunbeamJester and looks at the note Some smartass left this for us. smirks Looks like we're onto something now.
Yeah, because fuckin' cryptic notes are always fun, aren't they? rolls his eyes
stands up abruptly Alright, SunbeamJester, listen up. We need to figure out where this note is leading us. Any ideas?
"Hm..." He scratches his head.
starts pacing again Think, SunbeamJester! This note must be pointing to something. Maybe a secret hideout or a hidden clue.
