His gaze landed on Evelyn, her practiced fingers brushing over the rifles on display, particularly one that matched the murder weapon's description from the Malaysia case. He ambled over calmly, revealing his badge.\\n\\n\\\"Evelyn, mind if we chat?” He enquired.\\n\\nWith mild surprise playing on her face, Evelyn swiveled towards him. “Ah, Detective, how can I assist you today?”\\n\\nWinston, leaning on nonchalance billowed, “Just a small query. The sales records I stumbled on here mentioned that you recently purchased a rifle quite identical to the one involved in the Malaysia case.”\\n\\nEvelyn adroitly diverted, “Let’s not linger on such topics. How about a tarot reading instead? Or we could discuss hunting, I've been prowling the wilderness for decades. In fact, just the other day, I snagged a massive buck, a regular for me. Larger than any man I've encountered.”\\n\\nUnfazed by the segues, Winston steered back. “Last time you took a trip to Malaysia?”\\n\\nEvelyn’s countenance eased recalling her frequent visits. “Just last week, I made my usual jaunt to her chalet. Always adored that one, coveted a place just like it in the area. I suppose the keys she gave me showed her trust.”\\n\\nIgnoring her indirect admission to possessing the chalet keys, Winston pointedly continued. “Evelyn, I've heard whispers about your past in corrections. Is it true that you were under investigation for a suspected misconduct? I do remember reading files that mentioned questions raised by your superiors regarding your professional ethics during your tenure at the correctional facility.”\\n\\nEvelyn held her breath for a moment, eyes sparking with irritation, but deflected towards the familiar haven of her tarot readings. “Detective, ever contemplate the influence of fate? This morning, the Death card surfaced in my reading, symbolizing drastic change.”\\n\\nDetective Winston didn't dwell on her diversion. He pressed on, “So, it's confirmed then? Malaysia left you her chalet after her unfortunate demise?\\\"\\n\\n\\\"Yes,” Evelyn confirmed softly, nodding. “Yes, she did.\\\"\\n\\nAfter a brief silence, Winston added, “One more thing, I recall seeing your name in the investigation report at your job. It outlined allegations of misconduct against you and even raised questions about your professional ethics. Is that true?”\\n\\nBut before he could push further, Evelyn interjected swiftly, \\\"Who wants to ponder over the past? This tendency of mine to bring up tarot readings when questioned about my past career—it’s my distraction mechanism, Detective. The imminent future is what fascinates me.\\\" Spotting a chance, she jumped. \\\"Speaking of which, I heard you’ve again taken up hunting, Detective?\\\"\\n\\n\\\"Yes, I have,\\\" Winston affirmed, adeptly bypassing her attempt to wrench away the conversation.\\n\\nEvelyn smiled, a small curl to her lips as her fingers lightly stroked the barrel of the recently purchased rifle, \\\"Good, keeps the senses sharp.\\\"\\n\\nDetective Winston was left to muse over Evelyn's diversions as he took his leave. His gaze involuntarily travelled to where Evelyn's fingers were tracing the rifle. Once a hunter, always a hunter—and in this round, it was hunting for answers to the Malaysia case.\\n\\nDusk was setting in as Detective Winston pulled up to the chalet. The picturesque scene was offset by the grim red crime scene tape adorning the front entrance. \\\"Ironic,\\\" Winston muttered as he absentmindedly flicked his thumb over a fingerprint report. The details confirmed the rifle found was indeed registered under Letti's name. As he scanned the report, he noted Letti’s previous acknowledgement that the rifle was kept in her home. He climbed out of the vehicle and stepped into the biting cold.\\n\\nIn the chalet, a collection of hunting memorabilia and photos gathered his attention. Winston found it chill-inducing as he thumbed through photos of Letti grinning, rifle in hand, next to her game. He placed the pictures back meticulously where they belonged and proceeded to dust for prints on the rifle held up by a mounted rack, his brow furrowed in thought.\\n\\nHis thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. \\\"Detective Winston, we have Letti on the line,\\\" a young officer said, hesitantly.\\n\\n\\\"Thanks.\\\" Winston said, grabbing the receiver, \\\"Letti, can we talk about your activities on the night of the murder?\\\"\\n\\n\\\"Of course, detective. I spent the entire evening at home, watching TV,\\\" was Letti’s all too casual reply. \\\"But the night before, I stayed in the chalet, alone and hunting,” she added casually.\\n\\nOutside, Winston approached Letti's car. He silently took in the snow-encrusted vehicle, its presence at the chalet the night before the murder a fact that couldn’t be unseen. \\n\\nA notification beeped on his phone - an alert about Letti’s social media activity. A quick scroll revealed a series of disturbing posts filled with racist vitriol that Letti hadn’t even bothered to hide.\\n\\nLater that day, he interviewed people from Letti's neighborhood. A gentleman shared his disapproval of Letti's behavior at a recent public event: \\\"She publicly made offensive and racist comments, unprovoked!,\\\" he spat while shaking his head. Another testimony came from Malaysia's new boyfriend who claimed that Letti had approached him with hostile intent.\\n\\nIn the middle of his inquiries, Winston received a distressing message from a fellow officer. It was a tip that someone had reported Letti for an act of terrorism at the chalet. The exact same chalet where tonight’s murder occurred.\\n\\nWinston's mind ran back to the incident reported at the chalet. As he revisited the scene, he spotted a rifle case gathering dust, triggered by the memory of seeing Letti's registered firearm at the murder scene. \\n\\n\\\"Don't you go shooting every weekend Letti?\\\" Winston asked in a casual conversation.\\n\\n\\\"Yes detective, I find it therapeutic...\\\" Letti trailed off. \\n\\nWinston concluded the day by visiting one of Letti's friends who looked nervously at her hands as she said, “Letti was unusually upset about Malaysia's new relationship. She couldn’t quite hide it…”\\n\\nWinston nodded, \\\"Alright, thanks for coming in. We'll keep in touch.\\\"\\n\\nAs he got back in his car, he looked up at the rapidly darkening sky. Another puzzle piece found. Now, onto the next one.\",\"question\":\"Who is the most likely murderer?\"}","display_format":"text","language":"","answer_status":"published","assets":[],"source_url":"https://zayne-sprague.github.io/MuSR/","history":"initial import","indexing_mode":"index","subproblems":[],"grids":[]}
