Detective Alex Hart: "You believe me, right? We gotta find the real killer."
Alright, Alex, you wanna play? Let's play! You ready to solve this case?
"Alright, CharmingPlateau, let's dive into this. We'll start by reviewing the evidence they have against me."
"First things first, we gotta figure out who framed me. We need to find any patterns or connections that might lead us to the real killer.
So, let's start with the basics. Who are the suspects?
"I've got a list of potential suspects. There's the jealous ex-boyfriend, the vengeful colleague, and the obsessive stalker.
Jealous ex, huh? Sounds like someone's got a twisted sense of revenge. What about the colleague? Did they have any motive?
"The colleague, well, he had a grudge against me.
A grudge? What happened between y'all?
"Oh, it's a long story. We used to work together, but he got laid off and blamed me for it.
Damn, that's a pretty bitter pill to swallow. And the jealous ex? Any idea why he'd want you dead?
"Well, things got a little heated between us.
You think it's personal, huh? But ain't no way that colleague thing is just a coincidence. They're working together, killing you, and framing you? That's some next-level bullshit. What's their alibi?
"They claim they were at a bar, celebrating their layoff with a few drinks. But I remember seeing them near the alley where the body was found.
Hmm, suspicious as fuck. And this jealous ex? Where'd he disappear to after you broke up?
"We broke up a few weeks ago. He started showing signs of obsession, sending me obsessive messages and following me around.
Shit, Alex. Sounds like you've been dealing with some real psycho shit. But listen, we gotta focus on these two suspects first. The colleague and the ex. They're our most likely culprits. Let's dig deeper into their alibis and see if we can find any other evidence to connect them to the crime scene.
"I've already started digging into their alibis. The colleague's alibi checks out, but I'm still looking for additional evidence.
Well, let's start with the ex, shall we? Where'd he last seen Alex before the breakup? And did he have any friends or acquaintances that might've helped him carry out this sick plan?
"The ex last saw me at a coffee shop. He made some vague threats, but I didn't take them seriously. As for his friends, he was known to hang out with a shady crowd.
Shady crowd, huh? You know, Alex, there's something else that's bothering me. Why did the police frame you up for this murder? It doesn't make any sense. You've always been a straight shooter, man. What's going on?
"That's a good question, CharmingPlateau. I've been pondering the same thing.
Alex, we gotta get to the bottom of this. We need to find out who framed you and why. Let's start by retracing your steps from the day of the murder. Where did you go, who did you see? Every detail counts.
"I remember the events of that day vividly. I woke up early, went to work, and met with several clients throughout the day.
Alright, let's start with the clients. Who did you meet, and what were they about?
"I met with Client A, who was dealing with a divorce case. We discussed the evidence needed to strengthen their case. Then, I met with Client B, who was involved in a fraud lawsuit. We went over the financial documents that would support their claim. After that, I had lunch with an old friend, and we just chatted about life and work.
So, you were out and about all day. You got a pretty busy schedule, huh? Did you notice anything strange? Anyone acting different or saying weird shit?
"Now that I think about it, there was one person who acted strangely that day. It was an old colleague, Mark. We bumped into each other on the street.
Mark, huh? That name rings a bell. Was he the one you mentioned earlier, the colleague who got laid off?
"Yes, that's the same Mark. He seemed agitated and kept asking me if I had 'heard anything'. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now I wonder if he knew something.
You think he might be involved, huh? Interesting. We should look into this Mark guy further. See if we can connect any dots between him and the other suspects. And what about after you met Mark? Did you run into anyone else peculiar?
"After I met Mark, I headed back to my office to grab some documents for an upcoming meeting. In the lobby, I ran into John, another old friend.
John, eh? Didn't he work with you guys back at the bureau? What was his deal?
"John was a fellow detective. He was known for being meticulous and detail-oriented.
Meticulous, huh? That's a good trait to have in a detective. Did you talk about anything important with John?
"We chatted about our favorite baseball team and a new restaurant that had just opened downtown. Nothing serious, just small talk.
Small talk, huh? But you suspect foul play, right? Might wanna dig a little deeper into John's activities that day. See if there's anything unusual he might've been up to. And what about after you left the office? Did you catch a break or get caught up in traffic or something?
"I caught a break and decided to stop by a nearby café for a coffee. As I was walking, I noticed a suspicious-looking man following me.
Suspicious-looking, huh? You feelin' that creepy vibe again, boss? Did you get a good look at him? Any distinguishing features?
"I got a brief glance at him, but he was wearing a hoodie and sunglasses, making it hard to distinguish his features.
Shit, sounds like a pro setup. These guys know their shit. Did you notice anything else weird? Maybe a vehicle or someone else hanging around the area?
"As I approached the café, I noticed a black sedan parked nearby. It looked out of place among the other cars.
A black sedan, huh? That's the kind of shit we usually see in movies. Let's see if we can track it down. Got a plate number or anything?
"I didn't catch the plate number, but I remember the car had a tinted window on the passenger side.
Tinted window, huh? Sounds like they didn't want anyone peeking inside. We need to find that car, Alex. It might lead us straight to the killer. Can you describe what you did inside the café? Did you notice anything odd about the place or the people inside?
"The café seemed normal, but I did notice a woman sitting alone in the corner, staring at me. She had a intense gaze, almost like she was watching me closely.
Woman in a corner, huh? Sounds like she was trying to keep an eye on you. Did you get a look at her face?
"I got a brief glance at her face. She had piercing blue eyes and dark hair, but I couldn't make out much detail.
