It took the detective agency about thirty minutes to arrive at the crime scene, driving through Mystic ruins to find their location.

"Detective Vector. I am here to investigate the crime scene"

A green crocodile, at least six feet tall talked to the police officer who stands guard for his area, the front door.

He nodded after seeing his card, lifting the banner that is tied around the area written with the letters 'Police', letting Vector in.

Inside is Espio the chamelion, he left the Chaotix detective agency for a few years ago, but he still help in any way he can, Vector is a close friend to him.

"Espio, how are things going?" Vector asked as he looked over at the corpse, covered in a white blanket.

"It's going alright with me, but the case is blank. We haven't found a single clue yet. Beside a syringe that is the cause of his death, but we still don't know what was injected"

Espio finished talking, showing off the wound where the syringe was injected. A big blue circle around the area of his chest.

"Man, this doesn't look good, but it turns out that this guy wasn't just planning to kill this dude though..."

Vector explained, pointing at the different empty bottles, which have been cleaned in a sink.

Vector walked around the corpse, looking all over his body for any other existing wounds. Something which he found.

"I think this guy was some type of test subject" The crocodile pointed out, making Espio look at him with curiousity.

"How come?"

He pointed at other places where Big's skin have turned navy blue.

"Check if he have any other liquids in his blood" Espio nodded at Vector's command, calling in the investigator, while Vector started walking around the house looking for any other positive clues.

'This killer must have been looking for something important...'

He thought as he looked around the messed up house. Furniture tumbled over, broken tables and vases.

"Vector! Up here, I think I found something!" A childish voice spoke from upstairs, excitement in his voice.

"What did you find kid?" Vector asked, looking down at the small boy who is currently putting up crime triangles at the different places around the room they are in.

"Let's see, I found some kind of knife, what looks like a pair of scissors and a broken syringe" A young bee looked at Vector, who looked surprised at the kid.

"Wow, they were well hidden too, nice job kid!" He pat the bee's back, making him stumble a little from the crocodile's strong, friendly pat.

The bee have searched well, because the syringe were hidden behind a drawer, the knife behind a mirror and the scissors in a magazine.

"Whoever this killer is, he or she tried their best on hiding evidence" Vector mumbled trying to think of who could be their positive killer.

"Vector! They took a DNA test on Big, you should come and see this!" Espio shouted from downstairs, sounding worried.

"What did you find?" Vector walked into the bedroom, looking at a yellow, female fox who gave him the test results.

"His blood indicates several types of liquids like you said. We checked his body for any other wounds and we found two more, the liquids that have been injected into his blood is Arsenic and Mercury which means he have been using them to test out what happens to Mobian skin"

She said, picking up her stuff. "If you need me for further research, call me" She then walked out of the room.

"Damn, she is right and so am I. One point for me then!" Vector chuckled and threw his fist in the air, making Espio rub his forehead.

"What else do we got?" Vector asked Espio.

"Well, nothing more, but if we look deeper into Big's house-" A sound of flapping wings and a call-out of Vector's name made Espio stop talking.

"Jeez, what is it now kid? We just discussed something important here!" Vector groaned in annoyance.

"S-sorry Vector, but I found one more thing" The bee reached up his hand to Vector that revealed a colored ball of fur.

"Could this mean something? I found it in the window-"

Vector widened his eyes. "Guys, help me move his body" He asked, putting on gloves as the other two did the same. They all took hold of one part of Big's corpse, counting down.

"Three, two, one!" Lifting him and moving him over to the other side of the bed.

Revealing a big M signed with blood.

"Dang, it's Miles"

"What!?" Sonic couldn't belive his own ears as detective Vector told him that Big the cat is dead. Just as he spoke out Big's name, Cream bursted out in tears.

"Not Big.." She broke down in Amy's arms, crying her eyes out as she just lost her greatest friend. Amy tried her best on comforting Cream, but she could barely maintain her anger.

"Who would do such a thing! Big have done nothing wrong!" Amy shouted out in anger, questioning Vector who looked at them through the computer screen.

"That's why we called, because the murderer behind Big, is Miles Prower" As Vector finished his sentence, everyone went quiet. Even Cream, but her tears still ran freely.

Vector sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "His signature, a big bloody M were painted on the bed under Big. That's why; Sonic, we need your help"

Vector said, looking at Sonic who have his eyes pointed to the ground.

"You are the best and quickest investigator out there Sonic, if someone can find Miles, it's you" Espio moved the computer screen to reveal his face as well.

"Will you accept this mission?"

Sonic looked down beneath his feet, not saying a word. The house went silent for awhile before he lifted his head, looking at Vector and Espio with a serious expression.

"Where do I start?"

X

After Sonic was given the job on catching the criminal, or at least find him and report it in, he started first thing in the morning by searching around Big's house.

Luckily for him there were no police officers there to interrupt him.

He decided on not going inside Big's house, it would cause his anger to blind him.

Therefore he looked around the house for clues instead.

He looked around the house to find out his escape route, because he couldn't have escaped through the back nor the front because the house was surrounded during that time.

"If he couldn't escape from the front, behind or underneath..." Sonic talked to himself before jumping up on the roof. A hole.

"That clever son of a-" Sonic removed the covering over the hole he have used to escape, but how could he have escaped from the roof when the house was surrounded?

"The trees are low here though, he could have managed to climb up in one without the police noticing..." Sonic thought to himself, but this wouldn't lead him to anything.

Just as Sonic planned on jumping off the roof to continue his search, the lid that covered the hole fell off again. He sighed and went to place it back, but his eye caught something.

A note were taped on the inside of the lid. "Huh?"

Sonic picked it up and started to read its insides;

Congrats stranger, you have successfully found my escape route for this murder~

Therefore I am going to give you a hint to where my next location/murder is going to be placed:

Under the sun, the rays are hot

This creature loves flowers.

Watch out, knock knock~

Sonic froze, he knew who loves flowers more than anyone else out there.

The hedgehog didn't hesitate in running as fast as he could towards the house he thought of. Not even bothering on looking for more clues.

'Please Chaos don't be who I think it is!'

Sonic's heart pounded badly inside his chest, his mind racing as he ran as fast as he could towards his destination.

The sun is already up and it's glowing hot. If Miles' target is who Sonic thinks it is, then he couldn't stand around to think.

He couldn't get another one of his friends already.

He screeched to a halt in front of a house, the door is broken and the lights are off.

'No...He couldn't have gotten her already...'

"Cream!"
