Cut in two // Murder Mystery AU // Discontinued

Jazz and Shots

at trial, nobody had died again. I saw it coming from a mile away. any who, I had something planned for that day. I decided that today would be the perfect day to meet the local doctors. I was directed by OJ and paper too their house.

the building was small, one story, made of painted cream bricks. it had a brown roof. the rest was decorated with colors of red and green.

"damn, that's one festive building" I said to myself, walking up to the front door, and knocking on the door...

a woman opened the door, made of glass and a mystery liquid that I had never seen before... but, either way, I introduced myself.

"hi! I just moved in here a few days back, and I don't think we've met before. I'm void"

she glared at me, then stuck her hand out for a hand shake "test tube"

I shook her hand, and she soon invited me in.

"So, what brings you to this part of the country?" she said, making some cups of tea. she was looking over her shoulder at me.

"Jobs." I responded.

She walked over and set a cup of tea in front of me, sitting across from me.

"I've heard a little bit about you from OJ and Paper, how you're a... doctor? or a scientist? or something like that?" I continued, taking a sip of the tea

"Scientist, yes. My roommate is a doctor. we're very close friends, actually." Test tube said, looking down at her tea. "that's kinda why we're roommates. we also work in our own company together" she continued, "why do you ask?" she finished. giving me a slight glare.

"just curious, is all." I said, placing the tea back down on the table.

Before any of us could continue speaking, someone opened the door, holding boxes of stuff

"s-sorry I didn't tel you I was out, T." he said, placing the boxes down in a corner with some other stacked boxes.

"Its alright, fan"

"Oh, who's this?" he said, as he walked towards up. pointing at me.

"void, the new girl" Test tube said, motioning to me.

after some minutes of some honestly boring conversation, fan left to another room. thats when Test tube went a bit serious...

She sipped her tea, then placed it down on the table "okay, honestly, Ive been meaning to take this off my chest, but... I kinda..." her voice trailed off slightly.

"Kinda... what?" I said. I was honestly curious what she was getting at.

"I kinda hate fan in a way."

I was confused. "then why do you live with him?"

"well, hate is a strong word... I just have a grudge against him."

"what'd he do?"

"...I'd much rather not say, Its not really his fault anyways."

Hours passed. I left, slightly uneasy.

That night, I walked into the local pub once more. for once, it was actually jam packed. all because two of the local musicians, had a show going on at the bar. the style was very Vintage New Orleans. they were singing seven nation army, by the white stripes. the girl was a salt shaker, she was singing, with, who I believe was her friend, was playing the backround music from her computer, cause, she was sitting behind it, with speakers hooked up into the PC.

Once the two girls had finished they walked off stage, and started to talk with paper and OJ. I decided to listen in. the friend, who I believe is pepper, was sassing a little.

everyone seemed strangely... happy.

Suddenly, in the middle of the party, a gunshot was heard. silencing the entire pub. a scream was heard, followed with the sound of something metal hitting the ground.

Knife had been shot and killed.

his dead corpse lay on the hard-wood floor. his face in an eternal shock, eternal fear, he looked mortified.

the gun was nearby his body.

there's no way this could be a suicide, no way.

I thought to myself, as I stepped closer to the body. I observed what was around it.

I started taking note of what I had seen:

July 21st, Year 20XX

Victim, Knife.

Killed by bullet wound to the skull.

gun used, Pistol.

This'll be discussed at trial tonight. I know it.

Someone here must've done it, though.

I started walking around, noting who I saw.

Everyone but yinyang, test tube and fan we're at the scene.

I left the scene a few minutes later. I had an idea.

"it Must be one of those tree."

Tonight's trail was different for once, no, no one died.  It was because some people didn't come. that included my main suspects. In the middle of the trial, I decided to leave. I wanted to see what those three were up to.

I head to Test tube and Fan's house first, they must be up to something big if they missed the trial. I walked up to their house and knocked on their door.

Fan opened the door.

"Oh, Hi void!" he said, he didn't seem suspicious...

"wanna come inside? my favorite show is actually on right now." he said, pointing to the tv, with an anime intro playing.

"oh- no thank you. I just wanted to ask why you and test tube missed the trial tonight."

"we missed it? oh geeze, I must've forgotten, test tube went into the forest to find something. some sort of metal that she needed for her newest invention."

"ah, I see. which way is the forest?"

He pointed me in the direction, and then closed the door.

I followed his directions, it took longer than you'd ever imagine, actually.

there, in the front of the forest, there was a small puddle of dry blood, that led to a trail of blood. I followed it. It lead to where soap's murder must've taken place, cause there was no body.

once that was resolved, I starting looking for test tube once more. I soon found her using a metal detector. I caught her just in time, cause I saw her find what she was looking for. she digged it up. I didn't see what it was, and I didn't want to ask.

so, I just left.
