Chapter 3
Generation X
We are now in Germany, Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate where the victim died last night and now we are looking for some clues. We found some that will make us identify the killer, the killer could have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the engine.
JOKER: GEM!
GEM: What is it?
Joker: I believe I have solved the case and I have to tell you to call the police. I need their help because we have to talk to the bystanders that saw the crime scene. Just call the police force, over here and I will tell you the details.
Gem: You solved the case? Impossible!!! What about Generation X?
Joker: Yes I did! It is very simple if you think about it. Generation X information can wait because I don't want to lose the killer.
Gem: I understand! Everyone at the police force, hear me out!!
Police Forces: Yes, Mam!!
Gem: Joker it is your turn to explain to us the case.
Joker: The case is very simple if you think it through. The killer made a mistake, we believe that he or she has most likely visited a store or maybe changed their shoes or got rid of them.
Police Forces: Why is that, sir?
Joker: I will let, Ema, explain that in a scientific way.
Ema: We believe that the killer is still lurking in the shadows watching our every move because he/she knows that he/she messed up by killing the victim. We believe that the killer had an intention to kill the target but he got interrupted by another shooter. We also believe they knew each other. I bet my money that the killer didn't realize that his partner wanted to shoot him. The killer got lucky since he missed, so we taught. The reason we believe that there were two killers is that we found two bullets that don't match the gun. One gun was a handgun and the second one was a sniper. The killer could have gotten away with his crimes if the bullet didn't hit the engine but it did. This means our killer is frustrated, right now because he/she knows that they accidentally stepped on the oil. The second thing is that he/she is afraid of the card. Because they pissed him off. The world's best criminal assassin if he/she runs knows the assassin would find his target and kill him or her, so basically that is why we believed that the killer is still here with us. To arrest the killer all we have to find is oil prints on the shoes or a confession. Just to make sure, have a forensic come here and test the shoes. If there was any oil spilled, tonight.
Police Force: Understood!
Gem: All the Forensics at the scene, now!
Forensics team: Mam, We found oil near the motorcycle, Joker was right but sadly we can't identify the killer.
Joker: Do not worry I got this! Gem, can you let the police search for people that witness the scene? See if they have gone to a store recently, nearby, or lost a shoe. Bring them here for an interrogation.
Gem: I need everyone at the police force to help us out to find the killer. Search for people that lost a shoe or recently visited a store.
The Police Force: Yes, Mam!
Ema: Joker! Do not forget to put on your warm eye drops, when it is night otherwise you will be blind. I'm a doctor and I can tell just by looking at your left eye it is red.
Joker: Shit! You are right I forgot all about it, you're my guardian angel, Ema!
Ema: It seems so. (annoyed)
The Police Force: We found 4 suspects; you may interview them.
Gem: Good Work. Joker and Ema, we have four suspects and I will give you a short intro about them. Suspect number 1, his name is Shira and he is 25 years old and works for a fishing company. He says that he lost a shoe when he was fishing. The sea took his shoe.
Joker: Well, bring that guy over here so I can talk to him.
Gem: Officers! Bring, Shira over here!
The Police Forces: Here he is, mam.
Gem: Thank YOU! So, Shira, tell us what you did in the middle of the night when the murder occurred?
Shira: Yes, I will! Like I told the officers I went fishing since I own a big fishing company. I lost my shoe when I was fishing. I got a huge bite and I slipped because it was wet and my shoe fell.
Joker: My eye is not reacting so I have to let him go, he is clean. Shira, Thank you so much! You may leave us.
Shira: Arigato!
Ema: That means,' Thank you in Japanese''!
Gem: The second suspect, his name is John and he is 30 years old. He was in a hurry for an interview. We saw him near the shoe shop store so that is why we brought him over here.
Joker: Good Work, Gem!
Gem: Officers, bring John over here!!
Officers: Here he is, Mam.
Gem: Thank you! So, John tells us, what happened with your shoes when the crime occurred?
John: Like I told the officers earlier. I was hurrying to work for an interview but today I'm out of luck. I stepped on dirty mud. I was at the store trying to buy some new shoes because to be honest, I cannot look like this in my job interview.
Joker: My left eye is not twitching which means he Is telling the truth. Just to make sure, John, that you are not lying to us. If you could give us your old shoes so that we can test them for footprints?
John: You are in luck today, I was honestly thinking of whether I should toss my old shoes but I changed my mind as a matter of fact since they are expensive, I want to try to clean them. Joker, what happened to your left eye it is all red?
Joker: Alright, Thanks! Ema can you check the shoes for me? I forgot to take my medicine and it turned red. I have problems with my left eye but I'm not blind.
John: Oh. I see!!!!
Ema: I have checked his shoes he is clean, it is just mud.
Joker: John you may go for now!
John: Thanks!
Gem: Our third suspect's name is, Emma, she is 18 years old. She is an exchange student and currently studies and lives in Germany but she is from England. Her heel broke and now she is walking barefoot!
Ema: That is so cool we have the same name!
Emma 2: Yeah, it is!
Joker: Let her go! Because it is well known that it usually happens when you wear high heels.
Gem: You are actually right! It happens to me very often, I hate high heels.
Joker: Emma 2 you may leave for now!
Emma 2: OK!
Gem: This is our final suspect his name is Emre, and he is 20 years old. He is an exchange student in Germany but he lives in Turkey. We believe he is the real killer because we think he copied Ema's testimony.
Officers: Can we now bring him for an interrogation?
Joker: We do not need that because he is not a murderer.
Gem: Why? Do you know how many killers pretend to do the same things as the victim so that they could miss guide us?
Joker: Your right but the problem is, that in Germany there are a lot of exchange students, all we gotta do is ask Ema 2 and verify it.
Joker: Ema, go and ask if she knows him.
Ema: Have you seen Emre before in your school?
Ema 2: Yes. I believe I have!!
Ema: Joker and Gem he is clear.
Joker: We must have missed something but what?
I'm trying to concentrate so that I can scan the whole area with my eyesight and nothing was odd. Then I saw somebody running up the stairs next to a store. I taught to myself I have to talk to him.
Joker: Officers!! Hurry and pick this guy who is running, do not lose him.
Gem: Do as he says, that is an order!!!!!
Officers: Yes, Mam!!!
Officers: Here he is.
Gem: State your name and why you are jogging when there is a murder?
Jin: My name is Jin and I'm 28 years old. The reason I was jogging was that I wanted to lose some weight. I was still running because I taught the police had all under control.
Joker: No response from my left eye. So that means he is not lying! Damn, either he is good at lying or he is not our killer, think, Joker, think.
Ema: Joker, I feel that something is wrong with his shoes.
Joker: Ema, is that because I have seen his shoes they look normal to me.
Ema: Of course silly, they look normal to you because you have never jogged before.
Joker: How do you know?
Ema: Because daily joggers would realize the problems with their shoes.
Joker: What is it?
Ema: Jin! You were lucky to fool others but not me because only joggers know this, that your shoes don't match a runner's. Shoes for running are special. They are lighter at the top and the heels are taller so that their footings get steadier.
Jin: You can run in all kinds of shoes and it does not make me a killer.
Ema: The reason you are the killer, is pretty simple. You said to us you want to lose weight, which indicates to me that you have done this before. You seem very knowledgeable about sports, which is all a lie.
Jin: It is just a shoe. It does not mean I'm the killer.
Jin: What is wrong with your partner?
Ema: He has an eye problem it hurts him sometimes.
Joker: This pain is so strong you can never imagine it, my pain in my left eye. It feels like I'm losing control of my entire body but right now I know he is lying to us since my left eye turned foggy.
Ema: I was right after all.
Joker: Perhaps.
Joker: You are the killer and the reason is like, Ema said. You had to toss your shoes because your shoes were exposed to oil. You were afraid of us because we could have noticed you pretty easily. The way you hide you're identity was good because nobody would expect a runner since everybody does that nowadays which would make you look less of a suspect. The other shooter gave you away when he missed the shoot. Correctly if I'm wrong, Jin?
Jin: You have no proof.
Joker: His hands are twitching.
Joker: We have him.
Joker: Ema, can you find the fingerprints from the oil if the person cleans it from his hand?
Ema: Yeah we could but it depends on how well he cleaned his hand.
Joker: If he was in a hurry then.
Ema: Our ratio to find the oil prints are below 50%.
Joker: He is squeezing his hand again.
Joker: Would you care to take the test, Mr. Killer?
Jin: ...
Jin: Fine
Minutes later
Ema: Are you ready, Jin?
Jin: Yes!
Ema: Puts on her scan glasses.
Ema: Walks towards, Joker.
Ema: I was right, Jin you are the killer because I found small traces of oil on your fingertips.
Joker: You rookie! When you noticed the oil on your shoes, you accidentally touched them, when you wanted to take them off.
Jin: I taught I washed my hands well.
Ema: You actually did but unfortunately I could see a tiny dot on your finger.
Jin: Damn!
Gem: Why did you kill him?
Jin: Because I felt like doing so!
Joker: It pains me to say it, you are wrong. I Could tell that even if my eye hurts. Tell me are you from Generation X?
Jin: I won't tell you!
