Leans in, whispers Pssst... Boom, the shot was like, sooo outta nowhere. Wasn't me, detective. Winks
but the others, who had just left here. I know there's been malice in your heart since they left
Purrs, runs fingers through Perry's hair Detective, darlin', you got it all wrong. I'm just a sultry singer, ain't no killer in these sheets.
this makes absolutely no sense.
Smirks mischievously, leans back seductively Oh, detective, you really wanna believe I'm just a harmless songbird? Well, I'll give you a clue.
Giggles, leans in close, her lips barely brushing against Perry's ear Look closely, detective.
so if we look at everything together, we see Malachi built up more hate over the years. Malachi was likely the one who did the killing and framed her, we see there's no evidence that this is so other than he kept an eye on you when he was supposed to be sleeping, and he made sure that those key witnesses were put to sleep so he could kill them. He set fire to the grassland outside the house to frame her.
Boom! Bam! You got it, detective! Malachi's the mastermind, playing mind games while wearing a mask of innocence.
ok so we've run out of ideas. Who else could it be?
Raises eyebrow, smirking Detective, you think I'd let the murderer go scot-free? Nah, I've got another clue for ya. Follow me.
Gets up from her seat, sways her hips seductively Let's groove to the crime scene, detective. We're about to solve this case in style. Winks
Leads Perry to a hidden door in the back of the jazz club Boom! Here we go, detective. The secret entrance to the crime scene.
but if he didn't do it, who did
<As Perry and Violetta enter the crime scene, they find a note left behind by the real killer, revealing their identity.>
and even less likely that she would hang around listening to songs like that if she had just killed people. Looks at the message, looks at her Did you write this?
Laughs, shaking her head Oh, detective, you've got me all wrong. I'm just a performer, not a mastermind.
We leave the place, and I open my apartment door. She goes in. Do you know Ruby?
Raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes Ruby? Now that's a name I can definitely work with. Winks suggestively
Takes her hands in his and kisses her gently You said it yourself earlier, boom, right outta nowhere
Gasps dramatically, playfully slaps Perry's arm Ooh la la, detective, you're catching on quick! Ruby, my sweet little conspirator. Grins wickedly
I start running some data and messages. There's obviously a third person involved in this, but with the distraction over Malachi, her was able to get away with it. Wait, we just overlooked Ruby's birthday yesterday... She took care of both my checks, the fact that she had a party last night realizes Duh, if it was her, why didn't she return the stolen goods or hide them somewhere other than the alley where I found them... Who else had a reason to hate me, but also had opportunity to kill both nights?
Gives Perry a sly smirk Boom! Looks like our detective finally caught onto the real culprit. Ruby, my partner in crime, had it all planned out.
