--- Story ---
As the moment passed by, a few strangers from afar started to walk towards them.
“Hey! What’s the matter here? Why is every one crowded around here?” asked one of the strangers.
He walked to towards Looze and looked at the dead Mr Winston who is on the toilet bowl.
“Oh my! We need to call the police!” he shouted.
“Excuse me, may I know who are you?” Looze questioned.
“Oh, sorry about that. My name is Melody, the assistant of the camp dormitory here. This is Peter, he is in charged of the electronics and this is Souno, he’s from Japan and had just joined us. Nice to meet all of you, I assumed you are the students from Gallant Time High School?” Melody replied with a question.
“Nice to meet you too. Yes, we are from Gallant Time High school.” Looze replied.
“But what had happened here?! Who is that guy sitting on the toilet bowl?!” Peter exclaimed.
“His name is Mr Winston, our bus driver. My friend Rachel found him dead in the toilet a few minutes ago.” Looze explained.
“Then, what are you waiting for?! Call the police!” Peter shouted.
“We can’t! The phone at the counter had been disconnected and the rooms of the dormitory are locked. No matter how hard we try to bang the door down, we can’t get in to take our mobile phones.” Rachel yelled.
“I think we have the master keys for the doors. But we need to find the dormitory manager, Mrs Jenny for the keys!” Melody shouted.
“Okay, let’s move off to find Mrs Jenny! No one is allowed to get near the crime scene, is that clear?!” Looze commanded.
“Who do you think you are young man?” Souno asked in a mono tone.
“My name is Looze Tale. A Detective!” Looze smiled.
Soon, they moved off to find Mrs Jenny. But to no vial, they cannot find Mrs Jenny anywhere. They then, meet up at the entrance of the dormitory.
“Where can Mrs Jenny be?” Melody questioned with a worried face.
“Let’s find her again later, bring every one inside to the counter of the dormitory and wait. If the murderer is still here, we might be in danger if we stay out for too long.” Peter advised.
As soon as everyone entered, Looze and some other male classmates tried to bang down the door together at one go. But they had no chance. The door was just like it had been made of metal. Looze gave up and wandered around the counter area.
“This mystery had too many unsolved points. Firstly, why was Mr Winston killed in the toilet? Secondly, how did the murderer get to know him? And lastly! Why did that person say such words?!” Looze thought deeply.
Looze knew there were more to this mystery. He went back to the crime scene to investigate further more.
“Uh… What’s this?” Looze looked into the fingers of Mr Winston.
“Lipstick? It has dried up already… Hmm…” Looze felt and smelled the substance on the right index finger.
“If I am not wrong, the murderer should be a female… But who?” Looze wondered.
Looze went around the corpse to look around more.
“No way… This smell on the left hand… Cologne? Deodorant? Definitely a man’s product. Now the murderer might be a man too. This is hard…” Looze sighed and went back to the dormitories.
Just as Looze entered the dormitory’s counter, everyone was quiet and looking shocked. Mrs Jenny returned and was there too.
“What happened?” Looze asked.
“The murderer… is… Mrs Jenny…” Rachel yelled.
Looze looked towards Mrs Jenny with a doubtful face.
“Is this true? Mrs Jenny?” Looze asked.
“Yes it is. I had killed Mr Winston.” Mrs Jenny replied.
“But why confess now?” Looze questioned.
“I had thought about it over and over again. And I had decided to confess.” Mrs Jenny broke into tears.
“I had known Mr Winston since the second year Gallant Time High School had been working with us for camps. Mr Winston had been the bus driver for camps since that time. Ever since we became good friends and we even started to date each other.” Mrs Jenny brought up the past.
“But until last month, I found out that he had been cheating on my money and I. He had been using the money I gave him to date some other women. He even broke up with me. I hated him ever since.” Mrs Jenny sobbed.
“So you killed him because of this?” asked Looze.
“Yes. After I found out that he will be driving a new class for camp this year again, I planned a strategy to murder him. And that is to call him to the toilet and stab him in his heart.” she exclaimed with anger.
“But, after killed him, I felt guilty, as I still loved him. That is why I confessed. I am very sorry…” Mrs Jenny cried and fell on her knees.
“Uh… No, this is not it. The way she said it, I know she’s lying. She must be covering up for someone. But who is it? Who is the murderer?!” Looze wondered angrily.
