The city woke the next morning to chaos. News headlines exploded with speculation. The celebration of new leadership was overshadowed by a single, haunting question: *Who killed Ethan Cross?* His body was taken for examination, and within days, the answer surfaced—poison.

“Twenty thousand in credit card debt. Four thousand from online loans. Last week, you mortgaged the house your parents left you, took out one hundred thousand, and put it all into a speculative gaming assets investment. “And that investment collapsed the day before yesterday. “Overnight, you lost everything and ended up buried in debt.” I opened my mouth, but no words came out. Yes, I needed money. But that didn’t mean I killed anyone. “We have reason to believe you planned this murder to secure the ten-thousand-dollar reward and to take revenge on your boss and colleagues. “You know how these escape rooms work. You led them into the trap, then hid yourself in a safe compartment and controll

The teacher scolds us both, but all I can hear and see is his smile. He fixed me, he’s my serotonin, my very own drug. My feeling for him feels illegal, but he’ll still be my favorite crime. “Mr. Alex Sheperd and Mr. Conan Gray, this is not the time for chit chatting, now answer my question or you’ll meet the principal. “ We faced each other with a smile on our faces.

His eyes turned big in shock and forehead start

Slowly, she lowered her hand. "Ah, Jesus, here we at again?" Loftgant asked, completely dismayed at the interruption he received just for some baseless information. "Morsen, whatever you're thinking right now, I just want to remind you that this is an actual murder case, not some puzzle problem in a kindergarten that you must solve for Daddy's candy."

I pulled the rose from behind my ear and turned it slowly between my fingers, studying the deep, saturated red of the petals, thinking about a man downstairs who cut flowers for me with the same hands he’d used, maybe, to end my life once already. He wants me to bring the investigation to me. Everything he has. Fine. I’d take whatever he handed over, and I’d read every single word of it twice, once for what it said, and once for what it very carefully, deliberately left out. Because a man who edits a story that hard isn’t hiding one lie. He’s hiding the whole architecture underneath it. I set the rose down on the nightstand, pulled the cloned phone out of my pocket, and opened the note I’d s

Life is a dark comedy. “Okay, at least we know the victim... What else do we know?” Mrs. De Cassel is the widow of a noble French man who died some years ago in an accident. “Accident? Was it an ‘accident’?” Claude was thinking deeply about the possibility of Mr. De Cassel being murdered. “Could it be? In that case, maybe our murderer and his murderer, are the same person?” The idea seemed attractive, but it lacked evidence. And it kept a lot of questions unanswered: “Why did Mrs. De Cassel get poisoned? And why is she not dead?”

"Police experts found Mahone's fingerprints in the knife, in the doorknob. I'm not allowed to see her autopsy report, so I can't tell about dental floss.

But when the murderer stabs her and Mahone finds her all bloody, exactly in that moment the cops walk in and arrest him, that's clearly a setup. I have to know about Martha. Mom would know about her, but I have to wait until she comes home. I clamber off from my bed and reach to the bookshelf. At the meantime, I learn about The Conditorem.

“So far none of the neighbours that have been spoken to saw or heard anything.” “Any clue’s to why he was murdered?” “He was a bit of a voyeur, it would appear,” I said, trying to attract the attention of the barman. “Had the telescope in his bedroom pointing across the road to the bedroom of a lady who didn’t seem to mind him watching her undress.” “How odd.” I finished my beer. “Same again?” “I’ve hardly started this one.” “Then put it to one side and have a proper drink.
