{"choices":"['Ronald', 'Julia']","narrative":"In the hushed sanctity of a mosque, Kent falls victim to a deadly snake venom, leaving Detective Winston with two prime suspects: Ronald and Julia.\n\nCold sweat trickled down Winston’s spine as he perused the grim photos of the crime scene at the mosque. Winston fished the statement reports from his pile of case files, which stated that Kent and Julia were last seen together at the mosque.  Kent had been poisoned with snake venom, a tricky murder weapon to trace. His victim, Kent, was Julia's cousin and had last been seen at the mosque with her before he met his unfortunate fate.\n\nHis next stop was clear. He pulled his coat close against the biting wind and snow. Silicon Valley, estate of one Julia. Inside, he found Julia embroiled in what seemed an exhaustive pile of legal documents. From their exchange, he learned that she was currently tangled up in a knotty lawsuit, where the opposing party had a good deal to gain, financially that is.\n\nStepping into what he could only describe as a mini laboratory, a brave new world peered back at him. Labeled samples cluttered the table, one of which was a snake venom sample. Julia was trained as a herpetologist and her job involved working with venomous snakes, she explained this to Winston while also showing him her work with venomous snakes.\n\nAs they moved past countless terrariums, Winston paused in front of a portrait on the mantel. “That’s Kent,” Julia sighed. “Always the favored one, especially by Grandpa. In his latest will, everything was left to him. The will was initially expected to be in my favor, but, he bypassed me completely,\" Julia said. Her voice turned bitter as she revealed these shocking discoveries about her cousin, Kent.\n\nChanging the topic to something less contentious, she mentioned that both of them used to frequent the same mosque for prayers, the very place where Kent was last seen alive by people, before she added, \"And we were together at the mosque that same day.\" Her tone hardened as she described an altercation with Kent she had had earlier that day at the mosque. The tension was palpable as she revealed her own cousin had been secretly helping the opposition in the ongoing legal battle.\n\nWinston nodded, took a few final notes, and bid his farewell, a gust of wind blowing in with the opening of the front door. His footsteps crunched the snow beneath his boots and the stark contrast of his solitary car in the vast white providence painted an odd yet mystic picture. As he drove off, the silhouette of Julia’s house receded, but the flicker of suspicion stayed kindled in his mind.\n\nWinston sauntered into the buzzing fairgrounds. His worn Panama hat tilted, casting a shadow over his contoured face as he surveyed the spectacle of the annual town fair. Ronald, the man he had come to see, was easy to spot - standing tall in his uniform as security for the event.\n\n\"Ronald?\" Winston called out after weaving through the crowd of cotton-candy eaters and parched parents.\n\nA sharp look from Ronald confirmed his identity.\n\nEver the expert at concealing his hand, Winston lightly grazed the topic. \"I hear you’re pretty experienced with snakes. Handle 'em at the zoo, right? A zoo with quite a variety of venomous snakes, so I've heard.\"\n\nA flicker of pride sparked in Ronald's eyes. \"Yes, that's right. From rattlers to mambas, we have them all. I have the keys to all animal enclosures, even the Venomous Serpent Exhibit.\"\n\n\"Must be quite a job, wrangling all those snakes,\" said Winston. \"Especially with the variety of venomous species you have. They can be lethal with their venom.\"\n\n\"You bet. But it's all about understanding and respect,\" Ronald’s eyes reflected the love for his job.\n\nThat’s when Winston changed tactics. He didn't have the luxury of time; the fair was busy, and he sensed Ronald wouldn't stay guard at his post for long. \n\n\"I need to talk about some documents,\" he said. Before he even finished his sentence, the color drained from Ronald’s face. \"Documents linking you to past misdemeanors. They were found on a man named Kent.\"\n\nThe denial came swift and in violence. \"This is preposterous! That man was maligning me; I did nothing wrong!”\n\nA shrill kiddy ride whirled inches from them, momentarily deafening Winston to anything else Ronald had to say. By the time the wooden cars clattered to a stop, Ronald was sprinting the other way. \n\nHe was no longer at his post, no longer within sight, and no longer within Winston’s reach for further questions. For now. The detective adjusted his hat, scanning the field. Winston knew he had started unraveling traces, but he’d need to tread carefully here on out. Ronald was spooked, and even the deadliest snake wouldn't strike unless cornered.","question":"Who is the most likely murderer?"}
