I got this idea from the Murder mystery game on twitter from like 4 years ago so I'm late but who gives a fuck...right? Haha. Enjoy!
+++++++++++++++++++
Two detectives/ Csi (Clair and Mike) were hanging out at the nearest coffee shop when they Mike got a call from the police department.
"Hello? What? Ok, we'll be right there. Bye." He hung up and Clair looked at him, already knowing he would fill her in. They got up and started walking to the car. Mike said "you know that famous acapella group?" Clair nodded "Pentatonix? Yeah, why?....don't tell my their involved in a murder investigation." Mike sighed "worse. The tenor was found dead at 8:44pm."
Clair's eyes burst out of her head "MITCH GRASSI!? He was my favorite." Mike rolled his eyes "you ready?" Clair nodded and they drove to the crime scene.
When they got their they passed cautionary tale and Clair spoke "what we got?" The paramedic spoke "Mitchell Grassi, 24 year old male, found dead at 8:40. Time of death should be between 7:20-8:38." Clair nodded as Mike went towards the body which was covered with a white sheet over it.
"This him?" The paramedics nodded. Mike went to lift the sheet but the paramedic stopped him "I have to warn you...it's an ugly sight." Clair rolled his eyes "we've done this before." Mike lifted the sheet and his eyes widened as he saw Mitch's skin now pale skin, there was blood everywhere and bruises. Clair sighed as she looked back at the paramedic "what killed him. Do you know yet?" The paramedic flipped pages in this tiny notebook "um....the impact immediately killed him, he severed his spinal cord which cut cut off his oxygen and his movement so he probably couldn't call for help." The paramedic walked away.
Clair went to crouch near the body and put on gloves as she looked closely at the body. She lifted the corpse's hand to see cuts around his rings and bruises on his knuckles.
She then looked at the bottom of his nails to see some flesh. She looked at a cop as she stood up "he fought back...do you have suspects?" The cop gives her a list "those are the people at the party who were involved." Clair takes the piece of paper and turns towards Mike "we should go back to the station, start calling them in for questioning." Mike nodded and watched as the paramedic covered up the body again and took it away.
--------------------------------
Back at the station Mike called the suspects, first was Matt. Matt had an airtight alibi. He was talking with one of the other party guests all night and didn't go upstairs once. But he did tell them who he saw go up stairs that night. He said he saw Mitch go upstairs, followed by Scott after, followed by Kevin, Scott came back down, Kirstie and Jeremy and then they both came back down seperate and then Scott went up.
They then called in Kirstie who also had an airtight alibi, she left the party before the murder happened and went to her friends house and her friend vouched for her so that crossed her off their list.
The next person the called in was Jeremy. Clair asked the questions as Mike just stood there looking scary. Clair sighed as Jeremy sat "Mr. Lewis, you were upstairs at the time of the murder correct?" Jeremy shrugged "I wouldn't know." Clair rose an eyebrow "you wouldn't know if you were upstairs?" Jeremy shook his head "I - I mean I wouldn't know if that's when the murder happened." Clair sat down at the table "what happened?" Jeremy gulped "well...Kirstie and I had been getting into fights on and off that whole day and we even got into a fight at the party so we decided to take it upstairs to not disrupt anyone. When Kirstie and I had calmed down we sat in silence and saw Mitch come out of the room. He asked what the fight was about and I was upset because he started accusing me of being the bad guy. We got into a physical altercation...and then..."
Clair urges on "and then?" Jeremy snapped out of his daze "nothing, I realized he wasn't worth it and left to find Kirstie." Mike scoffed as Jeremy said "may I be excused?" Clair sighed and nodded. Once he left Clair crossed her arms "he's hiding something." Mike gasped sarcastically "you think?" Clair rolled her eyes as she told the guard to bring in Kevin.
When Kevin was in the room they started asking him questions and he sighed "look, I don't know who killed Mitch when I walked into the room with Kirstie, Jeremy and Mitch all arguing, Jeremy tried attacking Mitch but I thankfully stopped the fight before it even started. Jeremy left and Mitch was alive. I went back to my room, passing Scott on the way and a few moments later people are telling that Mitch is dead. I don't know what happened between him and Scott but I think he's the one you should be questioning." Clair and Mike looked at each other as Kevin was dismissed and Scott walked in.
Mile was in the corner, looking scary, as Clair sat down "ok, let's cut to the chase shall we...did you kill Mitch Grassi?" Scott gasped "What?! No! He's my...was my best friend. I loved him." Clair got up and started pacing slowly, hoping he would crack "you see, did you maybe love him more like a boyfriend than a best friend?" Scott rolled his eyes "we weren't dating." Clair crossed her arms "doesn't mean you didn't have those feelings...feelings that a best friend rarely has for a friend...but usually the other person loves them back. Mitch only saw you like a brother. That must've made you angry."
Scott shook his head and before he could answer Clair said "we heard from multiple people that you two had multiple fights throughout the day..can you tell us about that?" Scott wiped a tear as he remembered "uh, It was stupid, really. We had gotten into an argument because I wanted alone time with him but he wanted to hang out with Kirstie...that's it." Mike spoke up "people say you didn't talk for that night, must've been serious." Scott nods "It was stupid, I admit and we blew it out of proportion. It was nothing. He even forgave me."
Clair sat back down right in front of him "I think you loved him, and he didn't love you the way you wanted so you decided to push him off the balcony." Scott breaks down in tears "I would never...ever...hurt him, the last time I saw Mitch was when I have him my flannel to cover up with since he spilled wine on his shirt." Clair leaned back in her chair "you're dismissed." Scott leaves and Clair groans "this is useless."
Jeremy walked in and said "I...I have a confession." Mike and Clair urges him to continue "when Mitch and I were fighting on the balcony he wouldn't let go of this flannel. I finally punched him and that's when he dropped it. I was about to attack him again when I heard footsteps. I looked to see Kevin running towards us. He tried to break up the fight. I was drunk so I obviously didn't stop trying to hurt Mitch. Kevin was blocking Mitch I lunged forward and banged hard into Kevin which made Kevin push Mitch off the balcony. It was an accident...I mean, Kevin's a strong guy and he was just trying to help, we didn't know what to do so we hid all the evidence.. I'm sorry." Clair nodded and Mike called the cops to go get Kevin.
When they all walked out Jeremy and Kevin were both escorted out in handcuffs. Kirstie, Scott and Matt were all furious "you killed Mitch?!" Scott lunged towards Kevin as Matt pulled him back and Kirstie called Scott's name.
Kirstie couldn't even look Jeremy in the eye, the case was solved...it was tragic but it was done with...
