At 12 pm in Tokyo.......
Rain falls.....
Tomoko: Is this.......another clue?
Tantei: Maybe.
Ryo: Looks like it.
Genji: Why does it have to be a music box though? Those freak me out.
Tomoko: It's whatever at this point. *touches the handle putting pressure on it*
The music box's handle starts to move on its own while making creepy music at the same time.
Tomoko: *gets shocked and takes a step back*
Tantei: It's moving on its own?
It continues but starts to move and make music faster and faster.
Genji: Oh god! How do we stop it? *takes a step forward*
Ryo: *blocks him with his arm* Wait.
Continues to get louder and faster but then stops.
Tantei: Huh?
Tomoko: Why'd it sto-
Music box: *clicks open and has a colorful pen emerge from it*
Ryo, Tantei, Genji, and Tomoko: *jump in surprise and then realize it's a pen*
Genji: Wait what? Are you serious? All that for a pen?
Ryo: No.
Tomoko: Yeah, take a look.
A red word on the pen says "OPEN".
Genji: It says open..
Tantei: I got it. *steps forward and opens the top part of the pen revealing a black piece of paper folded like a cylinder as he takes it out*
Ryo: What does it say?
Tantei: Looks like another riddle. It says... "What do you call a place that people go as agents?"
Genji: What a weird riddle.
Ryo: Yeah...
Tomoko: I wonder what he means by that.
Tantei: *looks at his other hand/right hand holding the pen* One thing we also have to note is.. Why a pen?
Tomoko: Hmmm.
Tantei: Guys, let's go back.
Ryo: Where?
Tantei: The agency.
Tomoko, Ryo, and Genji: *nod in agreement*
From a distance.....
The Puzzler: *looking on at them as they find a taxi due to the rain, then leaves as well*
.........................
30 minutes later at the agency......
Tantei, Tomoko, Genji, and Ryo: *arrive*
The Boss: Well, look who it is.
The assistant: Did you find something?
Tantei: Yeah we did. *puts the opened music box on a table*
The boss: Another clue...
Tomoko: That's right.
The assistant: But why is there a pen in here?
Ryo: Maybe the person the Puzzler is killing next is a writer?
Tantei: That's possible..
Genji: Or maybe the Puzzler is some sort of magician?
