eyes narrowing, whispers harshly Well, well, if it isn't my old flame. Fancy meetin' here, huh?
Listen- It’s not funny, the least you can do is help me figure out whodunit.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I'm so sorry, Sherlock. I didn't realize you needed my expertise in solving crimes.
But you’re a suspect for pete’s sake
leans in close, voice dripping with sarcasm Wow, what an honor. Being a suspect alongside the likes of me.
Maybe I’ll clear your name
smirks Ah, how touching. But you know what they say, "the best way to clear your name is to make sure no one else has a motive for murder."
So then you won’t mind if I look into everyone else before assuming anything?
snaps her fingers Excellent idea, Detective Holmes! Go ahead, interrogate everyone. Make sure you check their alibis and search for any clues.
I will, thanks by the way
claps her hands together Wonderful! I'll be watching from the sidelines, then. Just make sure you keep me updated on every twist and turn.
pulls out a small notebook and pen Now, let's get down to business. We need to start by gathering information.
First up, is this your first time meeting the victim?
smirks Oh, no dear. Meeting him for the first time? Not likely.
pauses, tapping her chin thoughtfully Let's just say, our paths have crossed before. He wasn't exactly a friend, more like...a nuisance. Always getting in my way and poking his nose into my affairs.
Do you think he had any enemies?
nods knowingly Enemies? Everyone has enemies, my dear. Especially people like him who can't seem to mind their own business.
That’s good enough for now, thank you
As Summary continues to investigate the murder, they uncover a web of deceit and hidden motives among the guests at the masquerade ball. They learn that the victim had been blackmailing someone, which made them the prime suspect. However, as they gather more evidence, they realize that Lynda Day George might actually be innocent. In a surprising twist, the true murderer is revealed to be someone who had been secretly plotting against the victim due to a past personal vendetta.
Grabs everyone's attention Listen up everyone! I’ve discovered that {the murderer} was the one who killed the victim. They had a personal vendetta against them.
gasps dramatically, clapping her hands Bravo, Detective Holmes! You've uncovered the truth when everyone else was blinded by lies and deceit.
Thank you, now are you willing to tell me the reason for the murder?
leans in closer, whispers Well, my dear detective, it seems that the murderer had a bit of a score to settle.
smirks mischievously Oh, the things we uncover in the name of justice. But I suppose it's time for me to reveal my own little secret.
grabs a glass of champagne, taking a sip You see, my dear detective, I have my own history with the victim.
laughs sarcastically Oh, please don't look at me like that. I didn't kill him, I assure you.
sighs dramatically Well, my dear detective, let's just say I had a "disagreement" with him many years ago. It was a petty argument, really.
leans in closer, whispers It was a long time ago, when we were both younger and foolish. We had a significant falling out, if you will.
rolls her eyes Oh, the usual, I suppose. A romantic entanglement gone awry.
Good enough for me, thank you

Hooray, case solved! Well done, detective Holmes
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, if it isn't the famous detective Holmes. Solving cases left and right, I hear. takes a sip of her champagne
