《Whodunnit ?》Chapter 28 - Killer Workout (Part 1)
Advertisement
After the discovery of Dan's body, Giles guided the remaining four guests into the library.
"As you all well know. There are normally three areas of scrutiny but on this buzzing morning, the killer would like to offer you a bit of a twist... four areas to investigate."
All of the guests pulled faces of shock and a mix of confusement What could the fourth area possibly be?
"The person who will win the mystery area will also get the opportunity to investigate another area for three minutes."
"I can see you're all jumping at the bit to win this area. So... we'll stab each other for it!" Giles replied in a happier than usual accent.
"Wait what?" Michelle asked, wondering if what she heard from the butler was actually accurate.

Turns out that Giles's stabbing statement was all a pun for the next task. For one of the remaining four guests to win the mystery fourth area, he or she would need to stab a massive block of ice with an ice pick first.
Lined up from left to right was Reynold, Michelle, Brianna and then Nelson. Each of the guests noticed how they would have to grab what looked like a yellow egg box in the centre of the block of ice.
"Your time starts...now!" Giles set the four guests off.
Reynold, Michelle, Brianna & Nelson all went at it on the block. Stabbing it furiously with all their power. For the two guys (Nelson & Reynold) it was clear that they were going to be able to push harder than Michelle at least. But Brianna's Olympic reputation was slowly catching up with the guys.
Suddenly, a large block broke off Nelson's massive ice cube. Which gave him a big advantage. The charity worker started stabbing like he'd never stabbed before, and just as he was about to grab for his egg box...
"Yes!" Reynold celebrated loudly as he pulled out his yellow egg box out of the massive ice block.
"Congratulations Reynold, you have won the mystery area!"
"Bullshit." Nelson & Brianna both huffed simultaneously.

"So, Mr. Jiggon. Which other area would you like to investigate for only three minutes?"
"I'm gonna go with the Morgue." Reynolds decision shocked no one really. It would be obvious for the doctor to obviously choose the area which he was most familiar with in his daily life, the morgue.
"As for the rest of you... the killer would like you all to settle which area you would like to investigate. The one catch is, you must all agree to go to separate areas." Giles dropped another bombshell on the group.
It soon hit them all that only one person would be going to each scene. (With the exception of Reynold)
Giles gave the guests a couple minutes to decide which areas they would like to investigate.
The four quickly scurried into their pairs.
"Where do you wanna go?" Reynold whispered to Michelle.
"Crime scene," Michelle replied back instantly.
"Well, this is interesting. We all have to..."
"We have to agree." Michelle finished the doctor's sentence.
The doctor went over to the pair of Nelson & Brianna.
"Where do you wanna go guys?" Reynold asked.
Brianna went first "I wanna go to the last known."
"Crime scene." Nelson chirped.
"Well, I want to go to the crime scene.. So you're going to have to change." Michelle replied back in an arrogant tone.
"Excuse me?" Nelson scoffed back.
Michelle shrugged her shoulders "I'm not budging."
"He's not budging either." Brianna placed a hand on the charity workers shoulder.
"Well, you are going to have too! Because I am not bud-"
Before Michelle could finish her mini tantrum, Giles returned back outside.
"Have you all come to a decision?"
"We have not." Brianna sighed.
Giles gave a slight smirk back. "I can't say the killer didn't predict for this to happen..." The Butler pulled out three identical envelopes.
Inside each of the envelopes (as described by Giles) was the names of the three areas.
Giles shuffled the envelopes before making Brianna, Nelson & Michelle pick one at random.
Nelson opened his first. Upon reading the card he immediately pulled a sour expression. "The morgue."

Michelle & Reynold both gave small smirks as they heard what the envelope read.
Brianna went next, "Last known whereabouts."
Michelle pulled an even bigger smile upon noticing that she got the area she had wanted, the crime scene.
"So it seems that Mr. Jiggon & Mr. Grey will be making a visit to the morgue, Miss Lawson will be visiting the scene of the crime. And Miss Doan will be visiting the last known whereabouts."
"Reynold. Please follow me to the mystery area."
Once again the hidden area was the attic. Giles let Reynold know that he would have to walk towards the tv and sit down before the clue would be revealed. The butler waited at the bottom of the staircase as the doctor trailed the stairs.
Upon walking into the attic, Reynold followed the instructions given and sat on the seat.
The TV suddenly jumped into life. The doctor had to adjust his eyes to the shabby CCTV but eventually he made out the picture.
The camera looked like it was positioned at the very front of Rue Manor. It didn't take long for the doctor to realise this was from last night, thanks to the time stamp on the lower left of the picture. At first nothing was happening, but soon a large type of Land Rover approached the Rue Manor gates (from the side of safety). This confused the doctor.
"How could have we not of heard a massive truck approaching the gates last night?" Reynold said to himself as he continued staring at the screen.
The gates surprisingly opened, and almost immediately before the truck could get even two metres into the driveway. A censored, blurry figure ran out the bushes surrounding the driveway, and opened the driveway door. The figure then proceeded to throw the driver out of the Land Rover. The man looked surprised himself as the figure threw him into the bushes.
Even though it was out of the cameras angle, it was clear that the killer killed the driver of the Land Rover in the bushes.
After about twenty seconds or so away from the camera angle, the killer reproached to the Land Rover and drove further into the driveway.
The TV then flickered to another camera. This one was at the left side of the Manor. The Land Rover took an unexpected turn and started to drive into the wooded area of Rue Manor (near where Dan's body was found) the TV then flickered again and cut to the CCTV camera inside the garage. After a few minuites of fiddling in the drivers seat, the blurred killer stepped outside of the Land Rover and proceeded to close the garage door.
Then, abruptly. The TV went black.
"That's it?" Reynold said out loud.
After a few seconds of sitting down (just to be sure) Reynold left the attic. Eager to share this information with Michelle.
Brianna was surprised to find out that Dan's last known whereabouts was the side path, which was the path which lead to the back of the Manor. She was confused what could have possibly been at the area, but upon turning the corner to the side path she definitely knew why.
The grass surrounding the path was completely obliterated. And the path itself was stained red somehow. Brianna took note that the red colour was most likely Dan's blood.
The Olympian approached a weird object which was catching her eye. The object itself was a very tough type of metal. It had blood surrounding the sharper bits at the top. Brianna didn't believe it at first, but it was becoming more and more clear that this was a bear trap. When you press your foot or any object on the centre, it closes sharply, trapping anything inside it. Just like a Venus fly trap.
The Olympian found it strange that the blood suddenly stopped however after the bear trap. How could it of stopped, and what were those strange marks on the grass which completely destroyed the flowers of Rue Manor. These were all questions she was going to ask herself until the bell rang. And Brianna was out of time.

Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
