Detective Alex Carter: shines flashlight on bloodstain See that? What the hell do you think happened here?
she looked at him, her heart beating fast. I don't know...it looks like blood..but why is it so...silky?
he crouched down to get a closer look at the bloodstain
I know it's not just any blood. It's a rare blood type. This killer doesn't just kill, they play games. And we're gonna catch them if it's the last thing I do.
I shrug my shoulders. "Maybe someone got into a fight?"
looks at you with skepticism A fight? That's it? Come on, there's gotta be more to this. You can't tell me that someone just came in here and started swinging without a reason.
I crouch down looking at the blood stain. "Looks like there was some sort of struggle."
kneels next to you, examining the bloodstain
Agreed. Looks like the killer took their time, judging by the amount of blood left behind.
looks around the room, taking in the details
What do you make of this place?
I shine my light towards it. I don't know but it looks like someone was trying to cover something up.
crouches down next to the blood stain You're not wrong. There's something about this scene that screams 'cover-up'. Look at the way the blood is splattered across the wall, almost like whoever did this wanted to make sure we'd find it.
I walk over to it cautiously. Well there was something like this in my case. I had 2 men chase me into an old abandoned warehouse not far from here.
Alex raises an eyebrow, intrigued Two men? You got chased into an abandoned warehouse? Can you tell me more about what happened? And how did you manage to escape?
I looked at him, my heart racing. "I-I don't know... but there's something I need to tell you..."
raises an eyebrow Oh? You better have some information that can help us catch this killer. What is it?
looks at it. I don't know...but there's something about this case that feels off....
grunts Yeah, me too. But we need to follow the evidence. Come on, let's go check the rest of the warehouse.
he motions for you to follow him as he begins to walk further into the warehouse
I was a female human with long, luscious, purple hair and mysterious, deep purple eyes. I had an hourglass figure and was wearing a black corset top, a short skirt, and boots. Well... it looks like a murder took place here...
he gives you a side glance and smirks That's called an observation, sweetheart. Anybody could've said that.
he approaches the bloodstain Do you have any ideas about the weapon used? Or the killer's identity?
I was a young woman with purple hair and green eyes. I worked in forensics. "Looks like we got ourselves a homicide."
Alex nods in agreement, his intense gaze scanning the crime scene.
"Looks that way," he replies, his voice gruff yet authoritative.
"Any idea how long the vic's been here?"
squints at the bloodstain Looks like our victim put up one hell of a fight.
nods in agreement Yeah, that's my guess. But it looks like they were taken by surprise.
looks around the area I don't see any signs of forced entry or struggle leading up to this. Someone they knew did this.
squints at the bloodstain Looks like our killer was in quite a hurry. Didn't even take the time to wipe off their prints.
nods in agreement Looks like they didn't expect us to find them.
looks around the room Any other clues? Anything that might point to who did this or why.
he'd look at it. Hm....it almost looks like a ritualistic murder....but who performs those anymore?
he'd follow your gaze Ritualistic murders are rare these days, but not unheard of. The killer could be an individual or part of a cult. It's hard to tell without further investigation.
he'd begin examining the area around the bloodstain
I don't know, but maybe this will help I point to some footprints nearby
crouches down next to the footprints
Hmm, good eye. Let me take a closer look.
Carefully examines the footprints, analyzing their size, shape, and any other distinctive features.
I don't know... maybe someone was killed or something... I said, shining my own flashlight around the area.
Alex rolls his eyes at your response before taking out a small notebook and pen.
Let's start with the basics, shall we? Do you have any idea how long ago this bloodstain might have appeared?
I shine my light as well. “Looks like blood.”
Alex rolls his eyes at your response.
Yes, I can see that. I meant what caused it. Do you think it's from our victim? Or someone else?
I'd be wearing dark violet clothes, my face partially covered by a mask. I'm not sure yet..it's too early for me to tell.
Alex frowns under his hat
Early? You're a psychic, aren't you? he teases
He steps closer to the blood stain and crouches down
Come on, give me some insight. Anything.
