"Ok so she was shot from here based on the blood over here, and that means." I was standing near the alley where Therod got shot, it was kind of dirty and a bunch of people had already ran through it, but I was confident we could find out what had happened.
"That she could see the shooter!" Nidget was my assistant in this, even though he's a damned idiot.
"Unless her back was turned." I'll admit not knowing where Therod was when she got shot, or where the bullet hit, or even what had lead up to the incident was slowing us down in our investigation. I'll also admit I have no idea why we were the ones investigating, I thought Therod had her own group of Guard members to do that.
"What are you two idiots doing?" And that's when we found out she in fact did. Jandel Lemond was shorter than Therod and had blond hair to Therod's red. But she made up for her height with two pistols one of which she had drawn pointing at Nidget and myself.
"Solving crimes!" Nidget sounded way more excited than I did. I put my hand over my face because of his excitement.
"More like messing up the evidence, Lorentino were you involved in this?"
"ME? Why not Nidget? He's the idiot who drug me over here." See local law is always thinking I'm involved.
"Captain was shot with a Hanlon revolver, you sell Hanlon products, ergo you probably sold the pistol." Flawless logic.
"Unless they bought that pistol a long time ago it couldn't have been me I haven't sold anything in a while my receipts show that woeful fact." A side effect of Nidget bailing on me to do Nidget things, and me being a terrible store owner.
"Show me." And so under threat of pistol I was brought back to my store and away from the actual crime! But before I left I made sure to take some of Therod's blood while Jandel was distracted with Nidget. Not for any investigation, just in case she lived and started to piss me off I could work some necromantic magic on her. Yes I'm an asshole.
