Axel left the room to get the tea. As Oliver waited, he sat down and looked around noticing a large table full of surgical tools. Axel came back a few minutes later with a tray with two teacups, a cup of sugar, a small pitcher of milk, and a plate of cookies. He set the tray down on the table. Then he sat down.
"Thank you," Oliver said.
"No worries. I don't get many visitors, so I don't get to do this very often," Axel said.
Oliver took his cup and added three sugar cubes and a splash of milk, then he took a sip. Axel added five sugar cubes, but no milk.
"Well, you already know that each body has a missing heart, and they each have the word Unfaithful carved into the body as well. Correct?" Axel asked.
"Yes, you're correct," Oliver said as he took another sip of his tea, starting to notice a strange taste to the tea. "This tea has a different taste than what I'm used to, what type of tea is it?"
"It's a very rare blend called the Tienchi Flower. It's known to have a very strong and bitter taste to it," Axel said as he took a sip himself.
"That's very interesting," Oliver said.
"Each victim was in their 20s and killed in a public area. Something I found interesting was there was never a report of any screaming before the time of the murder. I found it rather odd, so I tested each of the victim's blood and found high traces of heroin in their system. The victims didn't die from blood loss; they died from an overdose," Axel said.
"What?! How is that possible?!" Oliver said.
