--- Story ---
“Hey, did you hide the keys to the dormitory rooms?” Souno asked.
“Yea… I had it hidden in the storage room behind this dormitory.” Mrs Jenny replied.
“Can you go and retrieve it? I need to call my mother in Japan!” Souno cried.
“Alright, alright. I shall go and take you now. Will all of you stay here and wait for me?” Mrs Jenny yelled.
“Sure. May I come along?” Looze asked.
At this moment, Rachel mugged Looze and told him something.
“You shouldn’t! I can see that she is feeling very down. Let her go alone” Rachel pleaded.
“Uh… What if she were to run away?” Looze suspects Mrs Jenny.
“I don’t think she will though…” Rachel answered.
“Alright then. I shall not go.” Looze decided.
Looze turned to face Mrs Jenny.
“I don’t think I would follow you. You shall go alone. But be quick.” Looze said with a strict voice.
Just as Looze finished, Mrs Jenny walked out and went to take the keys, while still having tears in her eyes.
“Uh… It’s so stuffy in here. I shall go take a walk outside.” Souno walked off as he said this.
“Give me a moment, I will be back from the washroom.” Melody smiled.
Three minutes past, and soon 15 minutes had gone by.
“Where is Mrs Jenny? Would she take this long to retrieve a bunch of keys?” Rachel shouted.
“Everyone! Let’s go and take a look!” Looze yelled.
Just as they stepped into the storage room, what awaits them is a shocking scene. Mrs Jenny was lying on the floor fully covered with blood, having a dagger stabbed into her chest.
From this shocking crime scene, Miss Winnie let out a loud scream. The supposed murderer has been killed!
“Just as I suspected, Mrs Jenny is not the real murderer.” Looze commented.
“What do you mean?” Melody asked with a doubtful voice.
“The real murderer is someone else. Mrs Jenny must have seen the real murderer killed Mr Winston. Mrs Jenny tried to cover up for the real murderer, but, after hearing her confessed, the real murderer silenced her to prevent her from saying the truth to the police.” Looze deduced.
“Mrs Jenny might have suicide! It may not be the ‘real’ murderer.” Souno yelled.
“That is highly impossible. As you can see the mess of this room, Mrs Jenny must have struggled with the real murderer when he or she tried to kill him” Looze countered.
“Who could have killed her?!” Rachel shouted.
“I don’t know, but I may require some investigating before I know it.” Looze started to walk towards the corpse.
As Looze walked closer and closer towards the corpse, something near the body started to get clearer in sight. Just beside the body, was a dying message left by Mrs Jenny.
“S – O – U – N – O. SOUNO.” Looze read the dying message out.
Upon hearing the message, everyone turned around and faced Souno.
“What?! How can that be? I didn’t do it!” Souno exclaimed.
“But the evidence is just right there! How can you say that it’s not you?!” Melody shouted.
“Hold on, this might not be it. It might be a trick the murderer had used to frame Souno. But Souno, you are our very first suspect!” Looze stared at Souno.
“Alright, I understand. But please believe me, I am not the murderer!” Souno exclaimed.
“At the moment, everyone, let’s get back to the dormitory.” We will discussed everything there” Looze commanded.
“Hey, what about the keys?” Peter asked.
“We will have to leave it there, as it is part of the crime scene. Alright everyone, let’s go. Miss Winnie, please lead everyone.” Looze requested.
“Now, this case is getting much more interesting… But is Souno really the murderer? Or is it someone else who framed him? And also the three things that I wondered just now, it still have not been solved. I need more evidence!” Looze pondered.
... to be continued.
*In the next part! Looze finally solves the case and found out who the murderer is! Do you know who the murderer is? If you don't, stay tuned to find out!
