Amelia's mind raced as she tried to process the revelations. She knew she had to escape, but as she turned to run, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
It was Veron.
"Don't trust anyone," he whispered, his eyes scanning the room. "Not even me."
Amelia's heart skipped a beat as she realized Veron might be playing both sides. Was he a pawn or a player?
Suddenly, the mayor's eyes widened in shock, and he stumbled backward, clutching his chest.
"Impossible," he gasped, before collapsing to the ground.
Amelia's eyes darted around the room, searching for answers. That's when she saw it - a small needle lodged in the mayor's neck.
Veron's eyes met hers, and for a moment, Amelia thought she saw a glimmer of guilt.
But then, he spoke, his voice cold and detached. "I didn't do it. But I think I know who did."
Amelia's mind reeled as Veron revealed a shocking truth - the mayor was not the puppet master, but a pawn himself.
The real mastermind was still at large, pulling the strings from the shadows.
And then, just as Amelia thought she had a handle on the situation, Veron dropped another bombshell.
"The killer... it's not me. It's you, Amelia."
Amelia's world turned upside down as she stared at Veron in horror. What did he mean? Was she somehow involved in the murders?
