Interrogation Room

As Xalim and Sheman were about to begin their investigation, Solveig and Addysson have just finished questioning every student from the Chamber of Defense.

"Is that the last of them, Addyson?" Solveig asked

"Yes milady, that was the last person to be questioned. Also, I have noted every crucial statement of each student." Addyson Replied.

"Judging from their claims, it seems that Celia Soone is the only person who could have possibly committed the crime." She added.

"I thought so as wel1, perhaps this case is as good as ours Addyson." Solveig claimed. "Let us head back and review the case at hand." She told Addyson. "Oh, and, good job there. I'm glad to have you as my close friend. It made things easier." She complimented Drews with a smile.

Addyson was overjoyed by Solveig's praise that she was practically quivering with happiness inside. She smiled and they went back to their respective chambers.

Hallway

With Addyson Drews and Solveig Dakshadia finished with their investigation, Xalim Orthomodus and Sherman Locke are still planning on where to start with their investigation.

"Hmm... Where to start? Xalim wondered.

"I'd recommended the school's museum, or I guess the crime scene, Celia's room. That sound good?" Sherman suggested.

"That will do, but how do we open the museum if it's locked?" Xalim asked.

"It would be easier if you were the prosecutor, but we can try asking our schoolmates on the way there," Sherman replied.

"Okay, I'm convinced. Let's go!" Xalim exclaimed

"Whatever you say, Convinced," Sherman said with a chuckle.

Museum Entrance

Xalim and Sherman arrived at the entrance. Unfortunately it was locked, and all of the students they asked on their way had no idea how to open it, or how it was locked.

"Well... Now what?" Xalim asked.

"We're here already. I guess we should try to use force." Sherman concluded

"It won't hurt to try." Xalim said.

As the two were about to try opening the large metal doors, someone came up and said.

"Don't even bother trying, it's a waste of time."

The two were alarmed and were wondering who it was that had warned them, so they turned to the sound of the voice. They saw a guy with slightly chubby physique, and spikey hair.

"Oh hey Ray, we didn't see you there." Sherman told Ray Sparks.

"Well, now you do." Sparks replied in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, so what did you mean by 'a waste of time'?" Xalim asked

Ray Sparks gave the two an annoyed expression, showing how he is easily ticked off at the duo's slight ignorance. Either way, he proceeded to explain.
