Chapter 26: Chapter 17 - Back To The University II

Joker and Emma - Sinful MindplaceWords: 10361

Ema: Eleven people had a strong motive to kill him and god knows how many in the other class had the same mindset.

Joker: True! This case is totally confusing me.

Ema: Me too.

Joker: I hope some of these kids will lie to me.

Ema: Why?

Joker: I think I need help from my eye.

Ema: Oh! That phenomenon you have, I almost forgot about that.

Joker: Students! I want to ask you about your one hour break, what were you doing? ( Yelling at them).

Student 1: I just eat my lunch and I was panicking about my future and grades.

Joker: Kids these days do not know anything about struggles. They believe in their own illusions, if they fail a grade their lives are over. (thinking)

Joker: Anything else?

Student: I was talking with some friends and that was all I did.

Joker: Next, Student.

Student 2: I was having lunch with the guy you just talked to and we talked about our test score.

Joker: Nothing, odd happened?

Student2: No!

Joker: Next

Student 3: I was trying to cheat during the break because the tests are complicated, beyond words even for an A student like me.

Joker: He is not lying. (thinking)

Joker: Next!

Student 4: I did not kill him even tho I did not like him as a person.

Joker: She is not lying. (thinking)

After many hours of interrogation

Joker: Nobody lied to me. (thinking)

Joker: Did you take notes, Emila?

Ema: ...................

Joker: Answer me?

Ema: Yes! Sorry, I spaced out.

Joker: Geez!

Ema: I still have to get used to my fake names. (thinking)

Joker: Did you notice anything strange, when I talked to the suspects?

Ema: They sounded a bit nervous,  or it might be that their teacher is dead.

Joker: No! Because more than half of the class hated this guy so I cannot see them having any compassion towards him.

Ema: Then, what?

Joker: The case just got larger, Ema.

Ema: Great now he is going to start blabbering yet again. I hate his amusing state zon. (thinking)

Joker: I think everyone knows what just happened. We just need to ask them the right questions.

Joker: Thinking...

Joker: Murder= Maybe? = Teacher's death? = Students nervous but why? Students = Same alibi = Relationship problems with the teacher? = No Injuries or violence = Air went does it have a purpose with the killing? = Toxic Plant may be a killing method. 1-hour break = Clean statements. = Labroom= a location of deaths.....

Ema: Joker, Joker!

Joker: ..................!

Ema: Do you listen?

Joker: Sorry! I just spaced out because I was thinking.

Joker: What is it?

Ema: Eric is here with Amanda and they are done with their investigation.

Eric: Did you find anything?

Joker: Everyone had almost the same statement during the break but what worries me is that they are nervous for some reason

Eric: We noticed that too but we think they are just petrified about the death of their teacher.

Joker: Officer your thinking too small.

Eric: How so?

Joker: Nobody liked him, I cannot actually see that someone cared about him,  maybe just the nerds.

Eric: Whatever, I will close the case because we do not have any more evidence to support our claims.

Joker: You cannot be that small-minded, officers.

Eric: We have to sometimes give up and be realistic.

Ema: ''This detective made me realize that observation and thinking, outside the box, could be beneficial to solve any case. You should not give up no matter how hard it might be because somehow a clue will be presented to you.

Joker: Do you hear my assistant, she sure has a bigger heart than you guys.

Amanda: Will you just shut up! There comes a time when you just cannot solve a case. Then you just realize you just have to give up.

Joker: You are so noisy! Please elaborate on your thinking and the case, Amanda.

Eric; Amanda is a rookie therefore she cannot have her own opinion.

Amanda: Like, Eric just said about me. I have no experience so I cannot talk just yet. (Insecure voice).

Eric: Listen to, Amanda you have to follow the rules. If the clues are not there we cannot make them up.

Joker: So, what! I had also plenty of cases I could not solve but this girl taught me the power of friendship and thanks to her I solved many cases.

Joker: Detective, I was just like you once upon a time but you gotta have some faith with your partner more.

Amanda: We will give you two days to solve this case and after that, the case is closed.

Eric: Amanda are you disobeying orders? (Angry)

Amanda: Why not? Let them show us if they are real or fake.

Ema: I like this girl even more now. (thinking)

Joker: Girls are scary when they fight each other. (thinking)

Eric ( Great I cannot stop these girls from arguing otherwise we will stay here the whole night. (thinking)

Joker: What do you say, officer?

Joker: I must know who the killer is no matter what. It feels like I entered a virtual world of Sherlock Holmes. (Thinking)

Eric: Fine I will be generous and give you three days to solve this case.

Joker: Before you go, guys, can we go with you? We need to see the body.

Eric: Sure!

At New York Police HQ

Maricia: Chief please come with me?

Chief: Why?

Maricia: Liam and I find some strict evidence in the victim's body that suggests it was not from a bombing attack nor terrorism.

Chief: What! Show me.

At the forensic room

Liam: Miss, We used a metal detector because we found a weird object in their bodies.

Chief: Give me something more?

Liam: It turns out to be a nanobot.

Chief: That means nothing?

Maricia: We found pieces of evidence of explosives.

Chief: So wait you mean that the victims were forced to complete a mission and if they failed they got blown up.

Chief: But that thing, it is so tiny, how could it blow up from at least 30 radii?

Liam & Maricia: We have no idea but it just did happen, chief.

Chief: These poor souls!

Chief: Can you identify the bodies?

Maricia: Would be impossible.

Chief: I see!

Chief: These criminal syndicates are more dangerous than we were taught.

Maricia: Seems so!

At San Francisco Police HQ

At the Forensic room

Eric: Please, help our fellow cops with the forensic autopsy.

Person: Of course, Sir!

Joker: You must be an exchange student.

Person: How did you know?

Joker: American does not say, sir. So you must come from, England.

Person: I'm from, London.

Joker: We also have a person that is from England that works as a lab technician.

Person: Are you planning to matchmake us?

Ema: Wow! She must be a weirdo or some British humor. (thinking)

Joker: Well,  I did not mean like that.  What is your name?

Person: My name is, Lina.

Ema: Nice to meet you, Lina...

Joker: We want to look at the victim's lungs and heart.

Lina: Sure!!!

Lina: Examining....................................

Ema: Helping, Lina.........................

After some time.........

Lina & Ema: We did all kinds of autopsies and we even used microscopes. We find nothing but we find something that suggests he was sick.

Joker: Look harder!

Lina: Do you read, Sherlock Holmes?

Joker: What about it?

Lina: Me too and you most likely think it resembles the garden case.

Joker:...............

Lina: You look, speechless detective!

Ema: My God you two should already get married. I would start fundraising online would not mind paying you a hotel because we need to focus guys.

Joker: Smirking.......

Lina: Did you find that amusing detective or are you sexually attracted towards me?

Joker: Looking at the screen...

Joker: Can you turn the heart towards the left and switched the lights off.

Lina: You are not listening to me at all. (Angry)

Ema: What is that screen, Joker is looking.

Lina: Oh I forgot to tell you guys it is our new tech, meaning you can watch me using any tech and you might see the same way as I do.

Ema: So you have a camera lens in your eye that is so cool.

Lina: Correct!

Joker: Switch the lights, please.

Lina: Is he always that grumpy with you?

Ema: He hates small talk.

Lina: Switched the light......

Joker: Try to minimize your microscope at max.

Lina: But our view would be blurry.

Ema: Just do as he says usually he is right.

Ema & Lina: Looking through the heart and lungs.............

Joker: Watching the screen...

Lina: Can we stop?

Lina: It is pointless we looked at every angle.

Joker: No!!!!!

Joker: Splash some water in the lungs and the heart.

Lina: Are you mad, Sir! Do you actually think this is a Sherlock case and our victim was infected with spores?

Joker: Nods!

Ema: Well he is right about something, spores love water and if we add liquid to it the disease would spread.

Lina: But that is like 1000million of 0 that this case is the same as Sherlocks.

Ema: They did have exams with poisonous flowers so it would not harm if we tried.

Lina: Pouring water on the victim's organs.

Joker: How much time would it take for the spores to reveal it selfs to us?

Lina: 1min to 30min depends on which flower is it.

Some time has passed......

Lina and Ema: Exames every angle........

Joker: watching............

Joker: Sees something shiny.....

Joker: Stooooop!!!!!!!

Lina & Ema: We just saw blood vessels and a dot, Joker...

Joker: Can you save the image?

Lina: Sure, I can even add the file to the computer.

Joker: Good!

Lina: Looking at the picture of the victim's heart.

Lina: You are right, Joker!

Lina: There is a shining dot on his heart...

Lina: Let me edit and enlarge it with the best HD resolution we have.

Lina: Saves it and printed the image...

Lina: Joker was right our victim died of spore poisoning.  I  just do not get it, how come we could not have realized it before?

Joker: Sometimes when we assume too much, it turns out as a blunder. It is harder for us humans to see things that are right in front of us, Lina.

Lina: Maybe but it did not make me feel any better. You were just boosting your very own ego!

Ema: Do not worry, Lina it was not your fault. He is just super observant.

Lina: I guess so.

Joker: Can we have a  copy.....

Lina: Gives the copy of the autopsy result to, Ema and Joker.

Joker: The crime is unraveling before us very soon, Ema.

Joker: All we need to do is to recreate the crime scene and learn how the killer did the crime & His/Her motive?

Ema: Do not forget we need to wait about one day for the results of the spores to see which flower killed him.

Joker: I forgot about it.

Ema: I say we take one day rest it has been a  very long day, Joker.

Joker: My head is spinning. So let us take a break.

Ema; I'm going to sleep.

Ema: Is walking towards her office and she is sleeping on her sofa.
