Berlins Night

Berlin, middle of the night at police headquarters.

Joker: Ema we have finally arrived!!!

Ema: Finally, the trip was really long.

Chief: The new guys come to my office at once.

Joker & Ema; Yes, mam!

Chief: I heard you were good and you have solved a lot of cases in the past, so we need your help. Meet your squad leader general, Gem. She is the best and highest-ranked general in Germany. You guys will follow her to the crime scene and together you will solve this case.

General, Gem: Let me review this case for you!

There was a man on a motorcycle that was shot and killed with one bullet but the killer fired 2 shots, the other bullet got stuck in the fuel tank which indicates that the killer wanted him to stop in a certain place. We believe that the killer knew the victim. As you may know, Joker the case is connected to yours because we found a card next to the victim. So that is why we called you because you know more about the killer than we do... After I answered all of your questions, we have to go to Branden Burg Gate where the victim was killed. We also believed that the killer was the same criminal who killed your brother and nearly you because the cases are linked. 1. The killer is a professional assassin, 2. The bullets prove that he is good at shooting from a long range. 3. The card.

Ema: I feel that this case is definitely weird from a scientific point of view because you found 2 bullets, right?

Gem: Yes, I Agree with you!

Ema: You guys said that the killer was a professional, in a scientific way I feel that you are wrong because a highly-skilled assassin would have killed his target and my second point of view is he wouldn't leave bullet traces behind. I'm just saying that there was another person at the scene and that the case is more complicated.

Joker: I believe in Ema 99% Ema: Whaaat!!!! I taught you meant 100% You oldy... Joker: Do you see that Gem? When it comes to science she must always have right, hahaahhaahhaha.

Gem: HAHHAHAHAHAH! I guess so.

Chief: What I'm worried about is the card and if it was a second person that means the case is more dangerous than we thought.

Joker: Indeed, Boss, it seems that we caught ourselves in a weird case.

Gem: Let's go now to the place where the crime occurred.

Ema: So this is the crime scene!

Gem: It is correct! As you can see the victim fell off the motorcycle and later the victim fell on the ground but the question is, whether he did not get any scratch marks from the fall. He is completely clean... The victim fell near the big gate. What we believe is that the killer used a sniper rifle to kill the victim...

Joker: Ema, can you please take a look at the crime scene I trust your judgment.

Ema: Yes, I can! I Found something that you guys overlooked, the victim had been shot in the head but the tricky part is, there was not a lot of impact since snipers have very hard and strong calibers but this bullet gave the victim a small wound and a lot of blood. I also saw a second bullet hole, it was a small one, So I say there were two shooters on that day.

Gem: Scientists:!!!! Come over here! How did you miss that? Answer me!

Scientists: We believe that the killer used two guns, one long-range and one short-range, we also believe that he wanted to make it a personal kill.

Joker: It might sound logical, but if you think like that. The killer could escape really easily since a sniper needs to be far away to kill their targets. The killer would have escaped easily or would have more bullet wounds and to me, he doesn't sound so sloppy.

Scientists: We believe that the killer was nearby the victim because he could have been on the roof, of Brandenburgs Gate.

Joker: That might be true but the killer would have seen him or heard the shot ... If the killer did that it would indicate that he was unprofessional and that ruins the German police force's claim that the killer was professional ...

Gem: I'm going to cut down your salaries short if you keep on humiliating me like that!!!!

Scientists: We are sorry!

Ema: Gem & Joker: I found something there is a card near the body and it says X on it and if you turn it down it says, ''Catch me''

Joker: Whaaat!!!!! I started to hear how my heart pounded quickly in pain I felt really anxious, it seems your police force made a good find, Gem.

Gem: Of course, we did!

I watched how the police officers panicked and they wanted to calm down the people and stop them from running away. All I know about the killer is that he left me a card near my brother's body that said,'' Catch me'' So this is new for me and very strange, or perhaps the killer wanted to help us but why? Whenever I solve a case, I put my own card next to the victim with my own sign to attract the killer that murdered my brother. I want him to feel that I'm catching up to him and perhaps he would start making mistakes.

Ema: Joker while you were thinking I was searching for the meaning X in my Ipad and the symbol X stands for a criminal syndicate called,

''Generation X'' Gem I need your help to call the police headquarters so that they can inform us about them.

Gem: Alright, nice work! I'm going to call an old friend of mine his name is, Axel and he is our very own professional informer.

Hi, There!!! Is it, Alex I'm talking to?

Alex: Yes, it is! Long time no see, GEM! I have known you for a long time so I know when you call it is urgent.

GEM: I need information on, ''GX'' I'm counting on you!

Alex: OK!

The public: When can we go home? We've been waiting all night long!

Police: Sorry but you have to wait because there has been a murder and we cannot let people go home yet because the killer might be one of you.

The Public: Go to hell! We want to go home, we have waited far enough.

Joker: Ema, can I talk to you? I need you to verify something for me.

Ema: Yes! Joker, what is it?

Joker: Can you analyze the bullets and tell me which bullet was faster the one in the head, or the one stuck in the engine?

Ema: Why do you need that for?

Joker: Just trust me on this!

Ema: Well then,  I think it is time to test my very own invention, I just need to grab my bag pack and use the bullet vision'' The bullet vision helps us to analyze the distance of the bullet and the impact or it can also find a gun powder.

Joker: That is so typical of you, inventing stuff soon you going to invent your very own husband.

Ema: Shut up!

Ema: I almost forgot to tell you, Joker, my Bullet vision can also detect warm and cold bullets.

Joker: I see, so basically you going to scan if the bullet is cold or not.

Ema: That is right! The ballistics said that the shot in the head came first and then in the engine.

JOKER: Ema you are a life savior! I figured the case out and how to catch the killer.

Ema: How?

Joker: Indeed on that day it was two shooters and one victim. I believe that the two shooters knew each other but our first shooter seems that he betrayed his trust. I don't know where the sniper toked the aim but it must be from a tall building far away from this place.

Ema: Just go to the point! You were always like this, explaining everything.

Joker: Fine! You know that the killer had a gun which means he needed to be close to the victim to shoot him in the head because shooting someone from afar with a gun is very complicated, only a few people could pull it off. What does an engine have?

Ema: Ah, I see! Oil, it has oil. This means that our killer must have dirty shoes because they stepped on the oil. How can we find him?  He must have been a long time gone.

Joker: Don't worry the killer is not going anywhere because he fears the note... The second shooter planted it there to pinpoint the criminal.

Ema: How could he do that? He was far away.

Joker: it is simple, Ema. The killer went back because he wanted to dispose of his shoe prints but when he arrived, he saw the note. Our Murderer is scared so he is hiding in the huge mass and watching our every move. He wants to steal that note even if it means he might be killed. If my dedication is correct, he is from Generation X. The killer also would have cleaned his shoe, tossed them, or just bought a new pair of shoes and that is the key to finding the killer.

Joker: Ema goes to tell the police what I just said and bring these people here so that I can talk to them.

Ema: Alright!

Not so far away from the scene

Killer 2: Damn! That traitor! He got what he deserved; he could not follow a simple rule!!!
