Murder in the City of Film

II: The Investigation

The FBI came out and handed the house over to Joe and Jenkins. Jenkins noticed a lot right away.

"So there is a hole from that window, small enough for a bullet. Came through, broke down the door, tied him up with rubber bands, dragged him across the floor, see the blood path there? Hung him to make it look like a suicide. A lot of this went wrong though, first off, the hole in the window coming from the neighbor's backyard, a bullet shell casing in the neighbor's backyard, why would you have rubber bands tied up to hang yourself? Also, no chair so that means, a count of murder, trespassing, and illegal use of firearms since the bullet casing came back unregistered. A very unplanned murder and a very unintelligent murderer," said Jenkins.

"HOW THE-" yelled Joe

"Ap-ap-ap, this is the school version, no cussing, the editor said that."

"I was gonna say heck but you thought something else. Also, there was no need for a fourth wall break but whatever. But HOW?! LIKE WHA-?! HUH?! LIKE WHAT IN THE SHERLOCK HOLMES JUST HAPPENED?!"

"Anyway, follow me, check on Arel and Karl. I'll ask for CCTV footage from the neighbor's house and Tom's house."

"Uh, sure? Wait, so we are just gonna ignore what just happ- and you're gone. Great."

Joe was still absolutely flabbergasted about what had just happened. By this point, Arel and Karl are worn out from crying so much that they just full on passed out. Jenkins gave Joe the description of the killer as 5'9", skinny, with black hair and white skin.

"That's weird," said Joe.

"Why?" asked Jenkins with a suspicious tone then changed to a gossipy tone and said, "Oh my god you know who did it please tell me!"

Joe looked at Jenkins weirdly with the tone he just did. "No, that's the same description as his younger brother Zeke. Also please never use that tone again."

Jenkins looked at Joe sadly, paused, then said, "You're no fun."
