In name of Science, the warehouse! (Open)

Leo thought. "One guess, Ren and Moe were indeed here. Do you think that Ren and Moe were burned?" Leo "I think the person who took the video was the one shot in the shoulder. The culprit killed the video and the man. The burned corpses had to have been burned by the water, maybe those chest shot clothes were the bodies?" Leo said, hoping Jimmy could figure the rest out.

M then shrugged to Alex's version. "Maybe... What do you think, Jimmy?" M then said turning his head to Jimmy seeing if he would have a different version on all of this. Because right now they had a pile of evidence that should be just enough to solve the case.

Leo thinks. "Ren and Moe lied, they as already explained already got knocked out but no bruises. There are two uniforms so....... Ren and Moe are two people! And those two gun shots on acid thing. The uniforms are unscratched! They are the killers!"

"I'll start over!" Jimmy announced, stepping back into the main room of the warehouse.
He scribbed down what he had said previously.

Quote :

"This is a very simple case, and uses one little trick!" Jimmy loudly declared, raising a finger. "In fact, this is one of my easiest cases so far."
He waited until everyone was in the room before continuing.
"Five people entered this house - one was an army officer, one was a scientist and one was dressed in normal clothes. Ren and Moe were dressed in daily clothes." He boldly declared. "It was dark. Four people were split up from a fifth one. The fifth one fired a gunshot, killing one. That's three alive, one dead and one unknown. Five."
He continued, pacing the room.
"The gunshot was fired toward the smashed glass containers. The two other victims must have been standing in front of the containers. How is one to know where they are in the darkness?"
Jimmy grinned.
"The camera's flash!"
He procured the camera, turning the torch at the broken containers.
"Of course, it's broken now. But if you think about it, a flash looks like the fire of a gun, does it not?"
He then demonstrated, using a pistol on lock to aim at the barrels.
"That makes three corpses. But if you think about it, Ren and Moe say they were still alive and hiding together. Isn't that odd? If they were hiding together, then there would surely be SIX people in this warehouse!!"

"The person who as shot in the chest owned the casual clothes with the chest hole.....WAIT!"
Jimmy slumped. He had never found a case so difficult to explain, before!
The unscratched clothes... could they belong to Ren and Moe due to them having no scratches or bullet holes?

-----

"The film?"
The camera was procured and the film shown.
"I have it here."
Crack! A shot in the darkness! A shot in the back of the head! The person slumped and fell, creating a reverberating sound. They were dead almost instantly. The four remaining scattered, two running over to the water barrels. However, the other two regrouped and one fired at the pistol's crack - two shots that passed through to the water barrels! They smashed apart, splashing water everywhere!
"I missed!" He shouted, firing again. The two shots hit home this time - in the chest and shoulders of two more victims!
"I'm glad I'm wearing these gloves. Let's get them out of these clothes quickly and move them. We don't want the police to find out about what's been going on here and we don't want them to get wet from that water...!" He nudged a head to the direction of the door with the many corpses behind it. He dashed into the storage room placing the gun on the ground and taking off the gloves as well as his clothes.
The corpses were stripped of their clothes and moved to the centre of the room.
"Now change our clothes."
The two took off their uniforms and placed them on the ground. They replaced these clothes with some regular clothes they had set up in the room earlier, taken from the corpses of the people who had been killed in the next room. These had no gunshot holes on them so they were alright to wear for now.
"Destroy the film. We now also have to pretend we got knocked out. Just drop the camera and melt the film for all I care."

Jimmy turned to Ren and Moe.
"One of you has been experimenting with this water on these corpses. The other is an accomplice."

"Good conclusion, Jimmy!" M said with a evil grin that he was just about to find out. "But the thing is, it's very dark outside here, isn't it?" M said flashing the flashlight on Ren and Moe. "Plus i don't think anybody would flash it on their sides, would they?" M said keeping his flashlight on Ren and Moe. "Between, i just noticed. Ren and Moe were all this time at the warehouse wall and we could never see their backs. Hey you!" M said pointing to one of the policemen, "Check Ren and Moe's back and shoulders."

At that moment they both showed a very stressed look on face as the policemen checked their shoulders and backs. Ren had a small hole in shoulder of his clothes and Moe's back of clothes neck part was covered in blood. "Just as i expected."

"Just like Jimmy said, except that you both didn't have any spare clothes to change in. As you can see, there are three corpses, but we found only one regular clothes pair.
Let me explain how this really could have happened, since it seems so simple now.

The three friends, current victims, out of curiousness entered this warehouse to film with their at what's going on here. Then you both appeared in front of them. Since one of you were an army, you both had a gun which you used to threat the victims at killing them.

Making them turn around with your gun and threats, you both shot one of them at back of the head, probably that one being the one that holds the camera. Since the camera-man was shot he dropped his camera and that's where it fell and cracked leaving blast plastic next to the corpse.
Rest of friends realizing you both have no intention of leaving them alive, they scattered around. When trying to shoot them, two bullets missed shooting the containers. But at very end you killed rest two friends.

But then you noticed one of the friends had already managed to call the police since the victim probably held the mobile phone when he was killed.
Dragging the corpses at center, you exchanged your both uniforms for the normal clothes. But if you would have left the third victim with clothes on, it would seem odd how two of the victims are naked and third one left on with clothes. So you both also took clothes off from the third victim. The uniforms with the third normal clothes pair you dropped inside the storage. The camera too.

Then the police arrived."

M finished his theory, until adding final note: "And just like Jimmy said, you both knew that it is illegal to experiment on humans, and by looks on how the corpses in experimenting room were tied, they didn't want to be experimented on with free will.
With these three latest victims as witnesses on this all, you had to get rid of them."

Jimmy grinned upon being complimented that he was so close to the right answer. His version of events had been somewhat close to the truth, excepting how the camera was damaged and that the spare clothes to change into were non-existent.
"Ha! As always, the truth prevails." Jimmy pointed a finger between Ren and Moe. "That's right, isn't it?!"
He then lowered his hand and turned to Leo.
"what do you say we go to the Funfair tonight?"

Ren suddenly put one step forward to the detectives and M: "So? You only proved that we took victim's clothes, but not that we killed them!" Ren seemed very confident about what he just said.
"Really?" M raised an eyebrow, "Ha ha, to be honest, i didn't solve this all, just wanted to show off. When searching for clues, i just wanted to check the boxes for curiousness if i could find something there. But after moving few boxes, i found a secret entrance under them that lead to a room with security camera screens, looks like this warehouse was hidden all with hidden security cameras. I watched the recorded tape of what happened earlier here and i saw everything, Moe shooting them, Ren being the scientist, the clothe exchanging, everything. Even what happened before this murder."
Ren and Moe were finally caught and policemen handcuffed them both taking them to the police car.

"I guess clue adding together isn't really my thing, i rather just search for them," M let out a small laugh turning to Leo and Jimmy.

Jimmy stared at M.
He coughed, covering his mouth and speaking under his breath.
"As soon as I get a dart gun, you're my first target."
He coughed again, walking away.

Leo rolled his eyes. "I'll meet you and Rachel at Tropical Land tomorrow." Leo walks away.

Seeing as everything is solved, M relaxed walked over to this car and was ready to take off. Just before turning in the engine, he looked once again back at Jimmy and Leonardo as they left the area: "Hmph, I really am not suited to be a detective." M said before turning in the engine and driving off with his Dodge Challenger back to office.
