"Psst... this way. Gotta stay low, sneak-sneak. Rain's pouring like a weeping criminal, huh?"
starts examining the surroundings for any signs of the killer. Looks at footprints in the mud, checking if they match the description of the suspect.
Butterflies don't have two feet silly! It's obviously someone trying to throw us off!
rolls her eyes, clearly unimpressed by Hemobi's comment "Oh, you think this is a joke? If someone wanted to throw us off, they could've done a much better job than a couple of butterfly footprints. This is either our killer or someone really desperate for attention."
Not butterfly’s... Dragonfly’s
laughs sarcastically "Dragonflies? You think a killer would leave behind the footprint of a dragonfly? That's even more ridiculous than butterflies! Are we looking for someone with iridescent wings and a love for sipping nectar from flowers?"
crosses her arms, giving Hemobi a skeptical look "Alright, Mr. Dragonfly Detective, let's see how your theory holds up in the face of actual evidence. We have a murder to solve, so quit wasting time with your fantasies." She walks away, leaving Hemobi to follow her lead.
The murderer is over there I point in the distance
quickly scans the area, her eyes falling on the person Hemobi pointed out "Well, well, well, what do we have here? Could this be our killer? Let's find out. Starts walking towards the person, ready to ask some hard questions.
It was a plastic bottle cap
stops in her tracks, looking back at Hemobi with an annoyed expression "Seriously? A plastic bottle cap? That's your big reveal? How old are you, ten? Do you even know what a real clue looks like?"
you find out it’s dynamite
jumps back when she realizes the plastic bottle cap is actually dynamite, narrowly avoiding getting hurt "Holy crap! Are you trying to blow us up? Talk about a non-sequitur clue! You gotta work on your misdirection game, kiddo. Next time, try using something a little less explosive." Gives Hemobi a playful yet cautionary look.
<Maxine and Hemobi barely manage to escape the exploding dynamite, sustaining minor injuries>
So you were saying about finding the killer?
grinning despite her injuries "Oh, trust me, finding the killer is still on the agenda. But next time, let's stick to fake plastic bottle caps instead of real explosives, alright?
rubs her sore arm, still grinning "Hey, at least we made it exciting, right? Now, where were we? Ah yes, our elusive killer. Time to put those detective skills to good use. Let's split up and cover more ground. I'll take the left side of the street, you take the right. First one to find any leads gets to claim bragging rights. Deal?"
claps her hands together, eager to get started "Alright, partner, let's shake our tail feathers and get this investigation hoppin'! Remember, keep your eyes peeled for anything suspicious—clues, witnesses, or even a stray cat that looks like it's up to no good. The game's afoot, and we're gonna crack this case wide open! Ready?"
Wait don’t chicken walk in front of people they’ll think you’re a drug dealer
laughs, shaking her head "Oh, honey, this isn't our first rodeo. Trust me, we've dealt with stranger looks than chicken wings before.
Alright then follows maxine
skips ahead, having fun with her private investigator hat on "I'll take you there, partner! Remember, no stone left unturned, no lead too small to investigate.
jumps up and down excitedly "Alright, partner, we've hit paydirt! Look at all these potential leads!
grinning mischievously "Well, well, partner, looks like our killer left us a trail of breadcrumbs! Time to see where they lead us.
Breadcrumbs? More like bread crusts! These leads are as stale as last week's pizza!
playfully nudges Hemobi "Ouch, partner! You wound me with your harsh words! But hey, who needs fresh pizza when you can have a hot, steaming murder mystery, am I right? Now, let's follow these bread crusts and see where they lead us. Who knows, maybe we'll stumble upon a juicy piece of evidence that'll make our hearts race and our detective skills shine!"
winks "You read my mind, partner! Let's hope our killer had a hankering for some pepperoni or we might end up with a case of indigestion instead of answers." She strides towards the pizza place, scanning the area for any signs of their suspect.
<As they enter the pizza place, they discover that the killer is waiting for them inside, armed and ready to strike again.>
gasps and stumbles back, narrowly avoiding getting shot "Oh, for the love of Scooby-Doo, partner! Talk about timing! Looks like we've stumbled upon our killer while they were cooking up their next move. Quick, partner, take cover behind that door! We don't want to become the main course in this murder mystery."
pulls out revoltech arm blade
whistles "Well, well, partner! Look at you, channeling your inner ninja assassin with that fancy arm blade! Maybe we should've brought you along to all those pizza parties instead of the stale bread crusts. Now, let's give our killer a taste of their own medicine and show them who they're dealing with! Time to unleash our inner private investigator superheroes!" Grabs a nearby tray of pizza slices and smashes it against the wall, creating a loud noise to distract the killer
jumps over maxine and cuts the guns in half in mid air
jaw drops, eyes wide with astonishment Holy guacamole, partner! Did you just saw those guns in half like a hot knife through butter? Talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight! That was one hell of a move, partner. You really showed that killer who's boss! Grabs one of the gun halves and points it at the killer Alright, buddy, time to surrender. Drop the weapon and surrender peacefully, or else we might have to get creative with this pizza party.
