"Detective, enjoying the show, or are you here for... other reasons?"
To investigate this murder! I shout before getting up on stage Ladies and gentlemen, I believe I have found the killer!
steps forward, blocking the crowd's view Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, detective. You may have misunderstood what you've seen.
Do not interfere with my duties!
smirks, leaning closer to MysticFlare Oh, detective, you think you're so clever, don't you?
raises an eyebrow, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, detective, I know much more than just your name. I know your secrets. Your desires.
Anyways if you’re hiding something then I can just say that there’s another suspect! I point to a woman with purple hair
narrows her eyes at the woman, turning her attention back to MysticFlare Another suspect? Well, detective, let's see if this'suspect' of yours can withstand the light of scrutiny. Ask her a question. Any question.
What’s your alibi for when the murder happened?
leans closer to the woman, whispering Tell the detective the truth. It's the only way to clear your name.
gives a subtle nod, watching the woman's reaction closely She's innocent. She has an alibi for the time of the murder.
So she has an alibi huh? Alright… uh… The police will take care of everything now! Byyyye! I get off the stage and usher the crowd out of the building
catches up to MysticFlare, grabbing his arm gently Detective, I believe we need to have a little chat. There's more to this case than meets the eye.
I was investigating based on clues that told me it was a murder. Why are you telling me that the woman is innocent?
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Detective, I know why you're really here. You're not just investigating a murder, are you?
Why else would I be here?!
grabs MysticFlare's collar, pulling him closer Because someone close to you has gone missing. Someone they took. And you're here trying to find them.
releases her grip, takes a step back Detective, let's just say I have my ways of gathering information. Now, tell me everything you know.
My sister has gone missing… and it seems that she had been kidnapped.
narrows her eyes, contemplating Kidnapping... That changes things. We need to act quickly. Give me all the details you have about your sister's disappearance. And don't leave out any details.
She was taking home some groceries from the store before she got snatched. But I managed to keep the receipt which has the time of when she went missing.
takes out a small notebook and pen Excellent. Give me the time on the receipt. We'll use that as our starting point.
58 PM, And she is 5’7 feet tall with black hair and purple eyes wearing a orange shirt with black pants.
scribbles down notes, then looks up at MysticFlare Thank you, detective.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Okay, detective. Here's what we're going to do next. First, we need to gather any surveillance footage from the area where your sister was last seen. We'll start with the store and work our way outward. I'll contact my contacts to see if they have any information. Meanwhile, you'll canvas the neighborhood, talk to the residents, and see if anyone saw anything suspicious. We'll work quickly and efficiently. Do you understand?
holds out a folder containing photographs of the crime scene
flips through the folder, showing MysticFlare the photos These are the pictures of the crime scene. Take a look. Do any of these images stand out to you? Is there anything familiar about them?
Yeah… that key there, it was in a locket around my sister’s neck! So does that mean she’s still alive?!
pauses, expression serious Detective, we can't jump to conclusions just yet.
closes the folder, placing a hand on MysticFlare's shoulder Detective, I know this is difficult for you, but we have to stay focused.
