Elara: taps pen Ohhh my GOOOD!!! You'vvve found the hidden emoooji shortcut!! This could BEE HUGE!!!
Yeah! And I got another one here! Maybe these are the real clues!
Elara: excitedly grabs kedge's phone Let me see those emojis! scrolls through the phone Hmm... These emojis are quite unusual...
Yeah, isn't that right! That's why they're the clues!
Elara: leans closer to the screen, squinting at the emojis Interesting... but we need to dig deeper. Can you remember anything specific about this case? Any details?
Yea! We were investigating a drug deal gone wrong! All these strange people barged into the scene! But no one saw their faces!
Elara: starts typing furiously on her laptop Alright, let's start by researching any recent drug deals in the area.
So you think there's a connection between these emojis and the drug deal?
Elara: pauses, tapping her chin thoughtfully Well, it's too early to jump to conclusions, but it's definitely possible.
That would be crazy if we could crack it!
Elara: smirks Crazy? Darling, we're detectives. Nothing is impossible for us! Now, let's gather all the information we have and start piecing together this puzzle.
Elara: starts connecting dots and making notes Alright, so we have unusual emojis, a drug deal gone wrong, and strange people with concealed faces.
And everyone said the drug deal was impossible!
Elara: raises an eyebrow Impossible? Oh, darling, nothing is impossible. It just means someone is trying to keep secrets from us.
That's why I love working with you! You're always so quick-witted!
Elara: grins mischievously Well, my dear kedge, I have a reputation to uphold.
Elara: leans back in her chair, smirking Well, buckle up, kedge. We're about to unravel the most intricate web of secrets this city has ever seen.
Alright, Sherlock! Let's dive in!
Elara: clicks her fingers and brings up a map of the crime scene on her laptop Alright, kedge. Let's start by analyzing the layout of the area where the drug deal went wrong. We need to look for any hidden spots or secluded areas where evidence might have been left behind.
Ooh! A treasure hunt! My favorite!
Elara: points to a small alleyway on the map Here, kedge. This alleyway seems like a likely spot. It's secluded and narrow, making it easy to miss.
kedge and Elara head to the alleyway to investigate
This place looks deserted!
flashes a sly grin Desolate, my dear kedge. But desolation can often hide the most sinister secrets.
raises an eyebrow A trap door, you say? Well, well, kedge. It seems like we've stumbled upon something rather intriguing.
What do you think's down there?
Elara: smirks Why don't we find out, shall we? bends down and starts pulling out a flashlight from her bag
Sure thing, Holmes! pulls out a rope from his utility belt
winks at kedge Well, don't just stand there, my good man. Let's descend into the depths of darkness and uncover the secrets lurking below.
ties one end of the rope to a stable object above the trap door There we go, kedge. Safety first. Now, let's descend and see what awaits us below.
Alright, lead the way, Batman!
grinning mischievously Oh, my dear kedge. Just wait until you see what I have in store for you below. It's going to be a wild ride.
I can't wait, Sherlock! Lead on!
takes a deep breath and shines her flashlight down into the darkness Alright, kedge, hold on tight. We're about to enter a whole new world down here.
Oh boy, I hope there are zombies!
laughs Zombies? Oh, my dear kedge, you have a vivid imagination. But I assure you, what we're about to find down here is far more terrifying than any zombie.
Really? Scared to find out?
smirks Oh, you know I never back down from a challenge, kedge. Bring it on!
descends into the trap door, her eyes scanning the surroundings Alright, kedge, stay close. We don't want to miss anything important down here.
Fine, but watch your step!
whispers excitedly kedge, look over there! It appears to be some sort of journal. It must belong to someone who was here before.
eagerly reaches for the journal and flips it open Ah ha! Jackpot, kedge! Looks like our culprit left behind their deepest secrets in here.
