A secret makes a woman, woman. - Chris Vineyard/Vermouth from Detective Conan. Detective Vera doesn't do feelings. She does facts. Every case is a new body, a new lie, a new secret someone buried too deep. From murders that was driven by revenge, to misunderstanding crimes, and to killing to satisfy themselves. The more cases Vera closes, the closer she gets to a truth she was never supposed to find. One secret that might finally break her. Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell. - Sherlock Holmes ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is Detective Vera. Stay with me until the very end.
