She sat nervously behind her desk, strands of red hair falling into her face as she busied herself with hastily checking the details of an upcoming event on her computer. \\n\\n\\\"Ms. Xenia, I'm detective Winston\\\", he introduced himself and continued with the reason for his visit, \\\"I have questions about the wedding you had planned for Charlotte.\\\"\\n\\nXenia paused and nodded, \\\"It was going to be one of a kind, you see, it had a rustic theme.\\\"\\n\\n\\\"And would that require distinctive materials for decoration?” Winston asked casually.\\n\\n\\\"Certainly,\\\" Xenia replied, beginning to look a little more at ease. \\\"Every event is a reflection of the couple getting married. For Charlotte and her groom, I purchased and suggested burlap, barn wood, mason jars... and barbed wire, of course.\\\"\\n\\nWinston changed the topic, \\\"The wedding was scheduled to happen around the time of Charlotte's murder at the same venue. As the wedding planner, you must have been there during that time.\\\"\\n\\nIt was clear the question had caught Xenia off guard. “As a wedding planner, I need to manage all the details and stay at the event location from the setup until the breakdown of the decorations. That's just part of the job,\\\" she explained, looking a bit flushed.\\n\\n“You've been in this business for quite some time, your reputation is built on trust, isn't it?\\\" Winston inquired.\\n\\n\\\"I've worked very hard to establish my business,\\\" Xenia replied. \\n\\n“The wedding venue was a temple, wasn’t it?” asked Winston.\\n\\n“Yes, Charlotte’s wish was to get married in that temple,\\\" Xenia confirmed.\\n\\n“And Charlotte was going to confess something on her wedding day,” Winston stated plainly. \\n\\nThe color quickly drained from Xenia's face, \\\"She was going to reveal that I had advised her to keep her past relationship with my partner a secret. She threatened to ruin my relationship. She claimed she had a past with my partner, saying she was going to expose that in front of everyone at the wedding.\\\" Xenia's voice trembled with a mix of anger and hurt as she concluded, \\\"She just couldn’t let me be happy. She was going to destroy everything.\\\"\\n\\nWinston quietly absorbed everything Xenia had said. He offered a polite goodbye before standing up to leave. It was clear this case was far from resolved. “Thank you for your time,” he commented before leaving Xenia to her thoughts and the remainder of her busy day.\\n\\nDetective Winston was knee deep into yet another murder case. This time around, the victim was Charlotte, a member of a rival gang. It seemed to Winston, he had ended up in a crime novel where even the picturesque setting of an old temple was marred with blood and brutality. The murder weapon? Barbed wire.\\n\\nThe top of his suspect list was Priscilla, a hiker of some renown. She was reported to have hiked treacherous terrains like the Andes and the Himalayas. But what did that have to do with this murder?\\n\\nWinston made his way to one of Priscilla’s regular weekend trekking sites. He found that his observations were true: Priscilla did own all the gears required for hiking. On the trail, barbed wire fences seemed to be a sight as common as the rocks under his feet.\\n\\nWhile scanning her gear, he spotted something curious: a set of wire snips. Now, that was interesting. These weren't typically part of usual hiking kits. Could she be cutting the barbed wires for her personal use? He knew that Priscilla had learned a number of survival skills, barbed wire defense being on the list.\\n\\nNext, Winston took note of her tattoos, typical symbols jauntily drawn across her arms that were familiar heraldry of one gang or another. Police records confirmed it: Priscilla was no stranger to gang activities. \\n\\nAs Winston dug deeper into Priscilla's hiking expeditions, he realized these weren't just pleasure trips. Spanning the Andes to the Himalayas, Priscilla put herself through some of the world's most treacherous terrains.\\n\\n\\\"Priscilla, you hike here every weekend, don’t you?\\\" Winston asked when he had a chance to confront her.\\n\\n\\\"Yes, sir. It's my escape,\\\" Priscilla replied, a subtle glint in her eyes.\\n\\n\\\"Interesting choice of gear you have there.\\\"\\n\\n\\\"Every item here is vital for my survival,\\\" she retorted as she turned her gaze away from him.\\n\\n\\\"Even the wire cutters?\\\" he pushed. She scoffed, shrugging her shoulders and moved away from his watchful eye.\\n\\nWinston watched her walk away, he needed to iron out the creases in this case, pondering his next move.\",\"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":"noindex","subproblems":[],"grids":[]}
