Luminous memories: Vial 3

"Here you go, "the undertaker came out from the back of his shop and placed some circular objects on the table. "the evidence as promised."

"Pill cases?" you opened up a round porcelain case and found that it had a lingering scent of medicine.

"Exactly~" the undertaker spoke unconcernedly as if he wasn't takig part in a murder investigation.

"That means that the girls took the medicine willingly then." The dark haired male spoke reflectively.
"We should probably start suspecting doctors and pharmacists."

Mary-Anne let out a small high- pitched exclamation when Ciel lifted up a medicine case into the light.

"What's wrong?" you asked your maid. The pill cases were less scary than the undertaker in your opinion and the tawny haired girl had no problem staying quiet before.

"Its just that I got one of those cases from a man at the festival today..." she spoke nervously as she protruded a decorated pill case from her pocket.

"He said that they were samples of a new kind of medicine."

Sebastion swiftly took out the case from the young woman's palm and opened the lid to reveal a number of tablets inside.

The shop remained in absolute silence until the silver haired male broke it.

"My, my," the undertaker spoke almost playfully. "I nearly had another customer on my hands."

You couldn't help but be shocked by this insensitive statement, but the Earl was not to be put of track.

"What did he say the pills were for exactly?"

"I think he mentioned something about beautification," Mary-Anne scrunched up her face as she tried to remember. "He had a most peculiar outfit on so I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention to his words."

"A peculiar outfit?" the Earl continued to interrogate the tawny haired girl.

"Yes, it covered up his face completely and he had a heavy coat on despite the weather."

"I suppose he took measures to ensure that he wouldn't be recognised."

You bit your lip worriedly as the scene unfolded in front of you. Mary-Anne had been with you for ages but she'd never been targeted in any of the investigations before.

"I suppose we won't be able to know his identity by sight then."

"Yeah..." you spoke without energy, not noticing the worried way Ciel was looking at you due to your weak reply.

"Sebastian, make me a list of suspects, will you?" the dark haired male ordered his Butler.

"Yes my lord."

"Are you feeling okay?" Ciel ask you worriedly when Sebastian left.

You opened your mouth to answer but the black clad man had come back into the shop holding a slip of paper.

"Wasn't that a bit too quick even for you?"

"I found something that I thought you would be interested in." he handed you a slip of paper and you felt your pulse quicken at an unnatural speed when you read its contents.
"It appeared to have been left in front of the shop while we were inside."

It seems like you've found out about my little trick. That's a shame. But don't fret, I've never failed to obtain a victim before. I'll get you yet, my dear.
