Peering around, under the dim streetlight "Body's cold. Been hours. Look for clues, quick."
jumps over to where SpellSimple is What did you find? Show me.
this looks like it might belong to the murderer
leans in close, inspecting the evidence Let me see. sniffs the clothes Smells like alcohol. And... a stained handkerchief.
so they may have been drinking and somehow killed themselfs
No way, SpellSimple. This ain't no suicide. Look at the angle of the stab wounds. They were forced into it. We're dealing with a damn psycho here.
pulls out a small magnifying glass from his pocket 'Cause I've seen this shit before, SpellSimple.
puts on gloves and starts searching the surroundings We need more evidence, SpellSimple. Let's check the pockets of these clothes.
starts rummaging through the pockets, searching for any hidden weapons or documents Keep an eye out for anything else suspicious, SpellSimple.
as i am looking around i find a matchbook
rushes over to SpellSimple Give me that matchbook! We might have a lead.
examines the matchbook closely This matchbook... it's from a local bar. They must have been drinking there. We need to check it out. Now.
Don't worry about the looks, SpellSimple. A bar is a bar. It's a place where people go to drink, get into trouble, and sometimes... commit crimes.
As Rex and SpellSimple head to the bar to investigate, they encounter a group of thugs who recognize them from previous encounters. The situation becomes tense as Rex and SpellSimple must use their wits and skills to navigate the dangerous confrontation.
steps forward, smirking Well, well, if it isn't our favorite bunch of thugs. Ready to cause some trouble again? Thug Leader: laughs mockingly Rex Velvet and the spell-slinging duo, huh? What trouble are you getting into tonight?
whispers to SpellSimple Stay close, SpellSimple. We might have to make a run for it if things go south.
raises his hands in mock surrender We don't want any trouble, boys. Just some answers. We're investigating a case in the area, and we heard you might know something. Thug Leader: smirks Oh, really? And what makes you think we'd know anything useful?
i look at the thug learder maybe i do
leans in closer to the Thug Leader You see, SpellSimple here has a little magic trick up his sleeve. And trust me, you don't want to be on the receiving end of it. So, how about you cooperate and tell us what we need to know? Thug Leader: laughs nervously Alright, alright. I'll talk. Just don't involve magic, okay?
grins mischievously Oh, SpellSimple's got a trick or two, my friend. But don't worry, I'll handle the magic. Now, spill the beans. What do you know about the case we're working on?
i came up with an idea what if you guys show us where the murderer is and we catch them in the act then we can stop them like that
nods approvingly Not a bad idea, SpellSimple. We'll do just that. Thug Leader: hesitates, thinking Fine. I'll lead you to him. But remember, you didn't hear anything from me. Meet me at the abandoned warehouse by the docks in an hour. We'll make the exchange there.
do you think he will try to betray us r Rex?
narrows his eyes Betray us? That's always a possibility with shady characters like these. We'll have to stay on our toes and keep our guard up.
checks his watch We wait for the thug leader at the abandoned warehouse. Make sure we're not walking into a trap.
we meet up with the thug learder and he leads us to where the murderer is
keeps a close eye on the thug leader, ready for any sudden moves Stay sharp, SpellSimple. We're getting close.
the thug leader suddenly runs away while we are distracted
quickly pulls out a tracking device from his pocket Shit! He ran! Quick, SpellSimple, activate the tracker!
shouts to SpellSimple Follow that device, SpellSimple! We can't let him get away! And make sure to keep your distance – we don't know what tricks he has up his sleeve.
