Gravity Falls - Crescent mystery - (Dipper x OC)

Chapter 7

After the boys learned that woodcutter Den was not involved in the murder, they made a rough plan of suspects and began an investigation. They interviewed a lot of people, found out if they were left-handed or not, but unfortunately, so far they have not found anything. But there was one suspect, who, in addition, wore a Shoe with a hole. There could be no doubt it was the culprit. They called the police and broke into his house, the perpetrator was Toby Resolute, he was one of those who attended the opening and could well be the killer.

"Toby resolute, you're under arrest for the murder of wax Stan. Dipper said as they burst into the house.

— I can't believe you did that. I thought you were a good person. the brunette said sadly, and Mabel patted her on the shoulder.

— Not upset. But we were able to solve this case. Dipper said cheerfully, and high-fived Mabel and Emily before showing her how it was done.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Toby exclaimed in surprise, to which Dipper immediately explained how It all happened — you hoped that during the opening you could make a report that would save your newspaper. After the failure of the event, you decided to organize another sensation. But there were footprints that led us to a journalist with holes in his shoes, and writing with his left hand. —

"You're a genius." So much detail to describe this case. Dipper winked at her, causing her to blush. But, unfortunately, it turned out that Toby wasn't the killer during the murder, he was doing a very strange thing, kissing a cardboard figure of the journalist. All of this, guys saw on records, that Toby them showed. This made Dipper and Mabel's disgust, and Emily's lack of understanding.

"Yes, you have an alibi. You're innocent, you old pervert. the policeman said grimly. The children did their best to prove it was him, even checking the axe for prints, but they were not there, which put the young detectives in a stupor. The adults, meanwhile, began taunting them again, already coming up with a name for the newspaper's headline. Dipper, Mabel and Emily, was very ashamed of this, the brunette even tried to apologize, but it caused the adults another fit of laughter and affection.

When they got home, Stan was holding a funeral for wax's "self." There were children, SOOS, and wax figures. Stan looked terribly sad and almost cried, the whole room echoed with SOOS blowing his nose and Emily sobbing, she was also very sad and ashamed, because they accused an innocent person. The boys tried to comfort her, but she continued to cry quietly, burying her nose in a handkerchief. The walls, meanwhile, began his speech — the Kids, SOOS, wax figures, thank you for coming. Someone will say that a person should not love a wax copy of himself. —

- Wrong! SOOS exclaimed, jumping to his feet.

- Wrong! Emily echoed, then buried her face in her handkerchief. She continued to shake, not from tears, but from a very unpleasant feeling that tried to take possession of her. She warily looked out the window at the dark sky shone a full moon, she took one look at her to shrink into a ball and tremble from the terrible pain that began to tear her body from the inside. It had happened to her every time the full moon had risen, last night, the moon had been half obscured by clouds, which was why it hadn't happened to her. But now, she was horrified and looked at his fingers, which started to get claws and then hid them behind his back. She was no longer listening to Stan or Dipper or Mabel trying to comfort her. She only hoped that she would get the chance to leave the cabin and spend the night somewhere in the woods. And this chance appeared, the Wall eventually gave way, and ran out of the room, behind him ran SOOS, and then Emily, having to shout at the same time "Sorry."

***

She ran outside and hid in the bushes. The that the beginning of occur with it further, was quite macabre spectacle. She watched squarely on moon and could not distract the from it eye, then she again felt savage pain around the the body, bears on its detail by fully rose, and their guise of reminded hooks, struggle cavity crawled out long and thorny fangs, dense wool starters cover its body, which here same has increased in size. The dead silence was broken at the same moment by an eerie howl that startled the birds in the trees and startled the occupants of the hut. Inside her, at the same time, something incredible was happening.

The killer was a wax figure — Sherlock Holmes, who was also alive, like all the other figures. According to him, they were cursed, and every night they came to life. Stan had bought them years ago, at a damned sale, and then he'd set them up as a Museum, and as soon as night fell, they'd come alive and had fun. But when the Museum ceased to generate income, Stan locked the figures in the closet and completely forgot about them. Ever since then they had dreamed of taking revenge on him, and when they got the chance they killed him, but they were wrong, and they killed wax Stan. The realization that they wanted to kill the real Stan horrified the twins. And now, these figures wanted to kill them.

But Dipper quickly found a weapon against them, as with any wax, they melted from all the hot, so the guys began to use them against the candles. They melted many pieces, but unfortunately they failed to melt "Sherlock Holmes", which knocked the candle out of Dipper's hands, and he had to fight against him with a poker. In the end, their fight moved to the roof, where they fought as if in a joust. Little did they know that the blood-red eyes were watching them intently. These eyes belonged to Emily, who is now in the form of the big black wolf.

She looked at them with admiration, her eyes mostly on dipper, who reminded Her very much of the knight in the fairy tale. As it was almost dawn, she began slowly but surely to assume her human form. There was a flush on her pale cheeks as dipper lunged again, a look of genuine admiration and some other warm emotion in Her eyes, but it was soon replaced by fear as Dipper was pinned to the roof by a sword and in mortal danger.

The girl did not know what to do, how to help him, but a sudden idea came into her head, although she was afraid that she will scold. She went to the wall, and with all her strength struck it with her fist, the wall immediately trembled, and it ran cracks. When they reached the spot where the Sherlock Holmes was now parked, the roof collapsed beneath it and it fell down, melting rapidly. Dipper stared at Emily, who was standing below, staring at the puddle of wax.

Emily, thank you, you're basically a life saver. — come on, " he said, coming down from the roof.

- "Dipper, did I kill him?" Emily asked, pointing at the puddle.

— No. He was already dead, so he wasn't alive. So that's all right. You, on the other hand, should be proud of yourself, because you've been helping me and Mabel for the umpteenth time. "well," he said happily, smiling, " I can declare this case closed." he shook his hands and sneezed.

— You do sneeze like a kitten." "I'm sorry," Emily said softly, then blushed deeply, " I mean, you don't like people to say that." But it's really very nice. You're very nice. "what?" she said, blushing even more.

Thanks for the compliment." From you, I think, his accurately will accept. he scratched his head and blushed a little too.

After that, they returned to the house, where Mabel was waiting for them. She was very glad that they were all right, from wax figures remained only wax, which plastered all the walls and even the ceiling. When uncle Stan came, he was shocked by this mess, he certainly did not believe the guys, but despite this, the man is glad that they found "his" wax head, for this, he gently patted them on the head.

The police immediately arrived at the" crime scene", the police began to taunt them again, but their laughter quickly stopped when Dipper said that he had solved the crime. This gave the police such a shock that they spat hot coffee in each other's faces for a long time, and then finally drove off, leaving the boys, who laughed loudly as they saw them off.
