A/n: To all the writers, do you ever worry that a YouTuber will find you fanfic? Cause I do.

So just like Jeremy said. After dinner he would explain the case. You could tell the dude in white was paying extra close attention. "No need to rush. As I said before I will require the earls assistance." He said. "What is it you need me to do?" He asked. You smirked. "I know. It's not really that much... all we need you to do is take off all your clothes😁"
"Pardon!?!?!"

————————————————————————

"Now listen carefully. You mustn't speak or move a muscle, no matter what. Close your eyes and stay still, do no more then breathe until your given the word."

You already knew what the plan was so you didn't need an explanation. So Jeremy, Arthur, the dude in white and you were all steaking out the killer. You all soon heard a noise. "He's coming. Wait, is that..." Arthur muttered. "Now!" You yelled. Ran-Mau then threw the covers on the culprit. "I have them!!" The dude in white then tried to stab them but you blocked him. "That will be quite enough please. Can't have you killing a witness." Jeremy said. You then sent Tanaka to tell the others you all found the killer. You all then made it there too. "Meet the killer!" You said happily. You then held up a long grey snake. He was tied up in a knot a bit though.
"A snake!?"
"You must be joking!"

"I realize how incredible it may sound...but the creature truly did attack the lady here when she was wearing your clothing." Arthur said. She nodded. "A black *what?* It is native to Southern Africa. And it's venom contains potent neurotoxins. The true killer gave it a whiff of the earls scent and trained it to kill based on that. But in the end, a snake is a snake. It could follow the earls scent to his bed," Jeremy said. "But it had no idea if the person it killed was him." You finished. "Fascinating. That be indicates that the killer was unaware that lord Phantomhive was sleeping elsewhere." Arthur said. Ciel pulled the hood part of the coat he wore down. "So it went to my room, and Patrick Phelps paid the price. A high price indeed." Ciel said. "The effects of long training are not easily cast aside. I set a trap because I was certain it would return. And it appears I was correct in that. My thanks to the lady, the rest of us would have been to large to play the part." He said looking at Ran-Mau. She walked over to him. "I'm glad your not dead." She said before hugging him. Unintentionally shoving his face in chest. (Can't this dude get a break. First Freckles and now Ran-Mau?) "Ah! Can't you put on something more decent. You and Jeremy chuckled at this.

He cleared his throat even though he was blushing really hard. "And as for my attire, I assume you put me in my butlers coat to disguise my sent from the snake?" A bunch more talking happened and you just stopped listening. At least until they all pointed fingers at someone. "No! Hold on a moment! It wasn't me! What about them! They're a trading company!" He said. "Ah yes we are. But our business never takes us to the African continent so..." Lau said. "But having connections to Africa isn't enough to prove he's a murderer." The dude in white said. "Yes that's right. And what about siemens murder, I have an alibi if you recall." He defended. "But that may be useless." You said. "What do you mean by that?" "The corpse the other servants and I found when I KO'd the door...it may not have been a dead person at all." You cracked your knuckles getting ready to be smart. "In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet drinks a certain potion..."
"Your suggesting...!?"
"You bet. It actually exists. So there's this thing called....something..."
*Sigh*
Jeremy continued. "Scientists recently discovered something called tetrodotoxin. I'm told if you refine in a way..." "You play dead." You finished.

So the guy meant to fake his murder and was actually killed. They talked for a while but Woodley ended up being the prime suspect. "Wait anyone could have put him up to it! Not just me! This makes everybody's alibi worthless!" He said. "True. But you have a good motive and had a great opportunity. So why would we think you didn't do it? I mean your a liar if you say you've never lied." You said. The dude in white questioned the bottle but Ciel said it was in the fire. Bard made a comment to back him up. So he was going to retrieve the bottle back but Sebastian got in the way. So that's how he was killed. Then he got the bottle and went back to his room. That's what they concluded.

"In that case whoever killed him must have the bottle!" He said. Ciel said we all checked everywhere it the fireplace. After a quick search you could see shards of glass. "Still not proof. We can't tell what their from." Arthur said. Jeremy then put the pieces together and sure enough it was the bottle. "I knew it! It was you all along!"
"No! I've never seen that before I swear it!"
"You framed a child for a grimsly murder? That's despicable."
"Why would I do that!?!?"
"Diamonds. The rose company is the largest and whole diamond industry. There was a highly secret plan in place for them to start a jewelry venture along with my own company. If it panned out as expected, Mr. Woodley's company was sure to see a drop in sales. A few days ago however, The rose company president was murdered. And the plan was temporarily suspended. I assume you intended to kill me too before the venture could go forward."
"You must believe me! On my honor I'm innocent! I'm the one who's being framed! It's him! He's responsible! He's the queen's guard-

He got cut off by a sword to his neck. "That will be enough. Make no excuses now. You can have your say once your in a cell." The dude in white said. "Stop I'm not the one you want. Please I honestly didn't do this." He pleaded. "Save your breath. I'm not interested. I find myself in a particularly foul mood." He said. "If you'd like I have just the thing for our friend here." Ciel said holding chains. So case closed.

Everyone then started to leave. Arthur was last. Jeremy knocked on his carriage window.
"Oh hello Jeremy."
"The case is closed is it not? And yet there is a Ttroubled look on your brow."
" I don't know how we would have managed to fight your help vicar thank you for everything you did here."
" no thanks to you I don't want it again but I wish you well in all things. *insert French I don't know*"

He went back inside and the three of you were about to do your own thing when Arthur came back. "So we are meeting again what brings you back? Did you forget something?" Jeremy asked. " I decided my investigation was not quite complete. I came for the truth Jeremy the vicar or is it, Sebastian the butler?"

"Oh my well done. It seems they are rather we underestimated you..." He then pulled his face mask off. "Yes we did indeed." He dropped the fake voice. "Dr. Arthur." Sebastian said.
