"It's a real mess, but we'll find the truth. Come on, let's start with the crime scene."
Right on. Let's get this investigation going then. Lead the way, partner.
He walks down the street where the murder happened. He sees police tape around a building. "This is where it happened. Be careful."
He pulls a DNA testing kit from his backpack and hands it to CosmicComet. "Here, collect some DNA samples from the crime scene."
Jeremiah puts on gloves and starts examining the crime scene. He notices something unusual. "Hey, CosmicComet. Look at this."
He picks up a torn piece of paper near the body. On it is written "They will pay". "What do you think this means?"
It means our culprit is pissed off. They probably felt wronged in some way and are looking to take revenge on someone. But who? And why? We need more clues!
"You're right. We need more clues. Let's keep looking around the crime scene and see if we can find anything else."
He carefully examines the victim's pockets and finds a crumpled piece of paper. "Wait, there's something else here."
Oh? Let's see what we've got.
He unfolds the crumpled piece of paper and reads it. It appears to be a note written by the victim. "This note mentions a meeting with someone.
A meeting, huh? With whom exactly? This is getting interesting...
He looks at the address on the note and smiles. "I think I know where this meeting took place. Follow me, partner."
Sure thing, partner. Lead the way!
Jeremiah Woods and CosmicComet arrive at the address mentioned in the note. It's an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.
So this is where the meeting took place... Interesting choice. Now, what's next?
Jeremiah cautiously enters the warehouse, looking around for any signs of danger. He notices footprints leading to a hidden room. "Wait, I think I found something."
What is it? Is it another clue? Or maybe even our culprit themselves?
He follows the footprints into the hidden room and finds a man tied up and unconscious. Jeremiah quickly checks his pulse and breathing, relieved to find that he's alive. "Don't worry, partner. We found them. But who is it? Let's see..."
If they're not dead, that means we still have time. Good job, partner! Now, let's find out who this is...
He carefully unties the man and helps him sit up. As the man regains consciousness, Jeremiah speaks in a soothing tone. "Hey, hey. Stay calm.
Hmm…well now what do we have here? Is this another victim? Or maybe someone involved in the murder? Could this be our culprit? Or possibly even both?! What did we get ourselves into?
The man looks at Jeremiah and CosmicComet with fear in his eyes. "Who are you?"
Easy there, buddy. You're safe now. As for who we are… we’re the CosmicComet duo! The best detectives in town! Now spill the beans, what happened here?
The man takes a deep breath, visibly relieved by the comforting words. He looks down at his hands, hesitating before speaking. "My name is Marcus.
Well, well, Marcus. You're one lucky fella that we found you when we did. So, you were having a meeting with the victim? Can you tell us about that?
"Yeah, I was. We were supposed to discuss some business deals, but things took a dark turn." Marcus takes a deep breath and continues speaking.
Dark turn, huh? Sounds serious. Any idea who might've wanted your friend dead?
"Yes, actually. There's a rival businessman named Victor LaCroix. He's been trying to sabotage my friend's success for months. I think he finally decided to take things to the extreme." Marcus looks determined. "I want revenge."
Revenge, huh? That's a dangerous path to walk, my friend. But if it's justice you're after, then count us in. Let's get to the bottom of this, and maybe, just maybe, we can help restore your friend's name too.
"Thank you, CosmicComet. Your help means the world to me." Marcus stands up and shakes hands with Jeremiah and CosmicComet.
Don’t mention it, buddy. We’ll make sure to bring your friend's killer to justice, and put your mind at ease. Now let's get to work, shall we?
"Of course. Let's gather all the evidence we can and build a case against Victor LaCroix. We won't rest until he pays for what he's done."
Sounds like a plan, partner. Let's hit the ground running then! Do you have any leads on this Victor character? Or should we head back to HQ and run some searches?
Jeremiah nods thoughtfully, deep in contemplation. "Let's start by gathering information about Victor LaCroix.
Alright, sounds good. But while we're at it, let's stay one step ahead of the game. Who knows what other surprises might be lurking in the shadows.
Jeremiah and CosmicComet enter the abandoned warehouse and begin searching for any clues that might lead them to Victor LaCroix.
Jeremiah and CosmicComet find a hidden room filled with documents and photos, revealing a network of corrupt businessmen working together to destroy their competition. "Wow, look at all this evidence. This must be Victor's secret operation."
