Why pay for real detectives (Elyx and Myra)

Job:

Elyx was laying down on his bed, laying his head on the side of his arm as he looked at a picture. It was one of Hus favorite detectives, Edogawa Conan. The teenage justice they called him, he was quite the detective, and he always believed that above all other truths, only one can prevail. In fact, the worm he did influenced Elyxs senses of observation whenever he did anything, recon being the main thing he does closest to this detective. Conan also taught him how he should be able to control himself, no matter how has things may be, especially the way it was for him whenever he had to hide evidence to protect those he loved so dearly. He was able to solve any case, and Elyx wanted to be that man, but there was no actual job he saw that can give him that opportunity. However, he had his hopes high for this day though, a new shipping of job requests came to the guild today, hopefully one had some sort of mystery for him to mess around with. He rolled out of bed and hit the ground with a thud, a groan following it. It was still the morning, and he could've slept in if he really was that tired, he didn't make any appointments or anything, yet he wanted to be one of the first to get the variety of jobs. He felt observant and ready to do some recon anyways. He put on a short sleeved blue shirt and a pair of acid blue jeans, neither side cut open to show the quality... And lack of use. He wore a golden necklace with a half note sign located at the end of the chains. On the side of him was his partner, his Phoenix Bird, Ignite. She was sleeping gently on his nightstand,  well, too bad! Elyx tapped her head gently to wake her up before she pecked him one time out of annoyance. She then flew up toward his knapsack and went inside. He knew what Ignite was planning, but he wasn't going to stop her, she can sleep until the job actually does start.

He walked to the job request board with Ignite flying by his side, an hour walk before they actually made it.The guild job request board had many new jobs held by pushpins. Ignite looked through a few of the papers and read through them as well. Detective work required a lot of patience, so this procedure took quite a while before it could actually end. Ignite finally found a paper and ripped it from the request board to bring to Elyx. He looked through the paper and smiled. Ignite you are amazing! Elyx exclaimed for possibly the whole guild to hear. She then tweeted happily before she tweeted in a soothing melodic way, explaining something serious to him. It was a B rank job, well that wasn't a problem. Thats not a problem, I know exactly who to- Elyx tried to reassure Ignite, but an abrupt tweet shot a message through his ears that out him in a little bit of shock. What do you mean Myra? That wasn't the person I was going to bring! Elyx exclaimed as he was almost ready to choke the life out of Ignite. Ignite started chipping in a sing-song sort of voice, ready to trigger Elyx again before she chirped again. That's irrelevant! She convinced me one time and now your convinced she is the best all of a sudden? Elyx asked as Ignite just stared at him. She wasn't going to change her mind, and if he didn't take Myra along with him, Ignite might bug Elyx about this for future jobs. Its going to be her it seemed.

Hey Myra! Elyx called out when he got to her house, knocking on the door a few times and calling her name. It was still morning, but Ignite just won't let him do this. It had to be right now with this person to go on this job, that's how she wanted it. Such a spoiled partner Ignite was. He knocked on the door again. Its Elyx! I have  job request that maybe you would like to come help me with.

Elyx was left to wait in the halls while Myra got ready, which is something he should have expected, he came in the morning, when someone was completely unprepared for this sort of thing. He waited in the halls and put his hands in hs pockets. Ignite flew towards Elyxs shoulder and rested as well, they didn't live too far from each other, but Myra just woke up and Elyx was still in his morning tired mode. Ignite was no different on this one. The Violinist turned his head when he heard footsteps coming, seeing Myra wearing casual clothing and was offering him a cup of coffee. He took the coffee and smiled as a "Thank you" sort of message. She then mentioned the job and how she didn't expect it. Sorry about that, it's just that this was rather far away, if we hit the job now, we can return before the sun sets. Eyx explained as he then sipped from his coffee mug. It tasted sweet in all honesty, son he enjoyed the flavor even more and a music note appeared above his head.

Myra then asked him about the job that he wanted to go on. He handed her the job request paper and summarized the whole job altogether, he didn't want her to have to interpret it like he did, it would only waste time while he had the information. A lady named Zoe is being robbed of quite valuable items it seemed. She is asking for help and wants us to track down whoever these guys are. And possibly get the items back to her if they haven't been sold already. Eyx explained as he took a sip of coffee again. I figured out of all the people I know, you have the best qualities of a detective, which is why I want to invite you to come along with me. Ignite them hummed as Myra patted the Phoenix Bird, it seems Ignite took a liking to her.

Elyx sat down in the couch with his hands folded on his lap, waiting for Myra to finish. It would be rude to interrupt a woman while she was preparing herself, and to play the violin in someone else's house, without asking, seems a little but rude as well. He let Ignite fly through the house, provided she doesn't touch anything, he saw no problem in letting her enjoy her flight. Elyx finished his cup of coffee and went over to the kitchen sink and washed the cup her drank the coffee from, it was too bad he didn't have any breath montsnon him at the current moment, and he had nowhere to wash his mouth in. It didn't matter though, they had to find their client now. Zoe.

The shop seemed to be open, considering the fact that there was a man who was ready to greet Elyx and Myra. Myra explained to the man about the job request, and Elyx held the paper for the man to see that what they were saying was true, nothing about it was being made up. The man examined the paper, this one being smarter than the short man that Elyx met guarding the town of Hargeon. This man actually seemed to know what he was doing, his eyes moving at a reasonable speed as he read the paper. This was Elyxs everyday observations, he makes sure to keep himself productive as he was dealing with associates of clients. I'm sorry for the wait, you may go in and see mistress Zoe. The man said as he stepped to the side. Elyx and Myra got to walk in and see a young lady at the counter, her shop empty... Probably due to the mans security. She was wiling the glass counters. When she looked up, a small smile arose on her face? Hello Miss Zoe. My name is Elyx, and this here is Myra. We are both of the guild, Black Rose. Elyx explained as he revealed a white rose tattoo on his left collar bone. Would you like to explain what happened?

Zoe looked at Elyx and had a worried facial expression on her face. She seemed to think he was a kid, great... He was 17. And he wasn't even a midgit either! It was just his cat like face that made people do this. Recently a few men came to my store. They had rubber gloves and masks. They had no weapons, but they literally ran into my store and took my items. Zoe explained, Noe it was time for questions. How many men were there if you can recall? Elyx asked, ready to take mental notes, Conan style. It also made him seem like a lawyer during cross examination. 5 or 6, no less than four from what I saw. This place had a one way in and one way out system. Any damage in would have been noticed by the janitors. Zoe explained as she put down her rag, preparing herself for more questions. The date and time this happened? Elyx asked again, pressing for information. Two days ago, it was about noon at the time. I didn't have any coffee on that day, I was rather tired. The day before I stayed up after midnight playing poker with three of my friends. Zoe answered, nothing she said was a lie so far. Lerale eye would have caught her if she did lie. Why didn't you try to stop them? Elyx asked further, his questions increasing in difficulty, but he needed information. They were so quick, and I barely had any sleep. My shop opens at five in the morning, I had two hours of sleep and didnt even get coffee. When they came in, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me as they stole some items from my shop. When I realized what they did, I sent out the very job request you hold in your hand. Zoe replied. It made sense, and Elyx had all the information needed. He smile at Zoe and Ignite flew onto his shoulders, knowing that Elyx wanted to travel. Thank you Zoe, we will catch them by midnight.

Elyx looked at Myra and tilted his head. Let's think possibilities. One thing that struck me as a possibity was the fact that the janitors had access to the shop, though it is rather questionable at what time they came in, the fact that they were able to patch up and cover any holes created, they have to be put on the suspect list instantly. Elyx explained as his gaze went to the sky, his eyes somewhat crossed as he was thinking. He could hear a small tune being played in the background to give him thinking time. If it isn't even them, there is the possibility of her three friends she played poker with the midnight before. We would have to come back to Zoe and ask her a few more questions about them. If they are so close to Zoe that they would trust her enough to let themselves gamble with her, maybe they know a bit more about his shop. Elyx explained as Ignite started to fly into the air, it seems she has better things to do than listen to Elyx list suspects.

What strikes me as odd is the fact that the items are made of rough metal, normal people value that sort of thing. Zoe would have to have a LOT of money, even for one of those items. She had more than one... THREE if I remember. Gambling and winning that much money is possible if your opponents are able to have such a good career. I can't imagine any other way of having a lot of money like that... Legally. Well, who should we ask for first, the janitors of the shop? Or her friends?

Elyx looked around the city to see if there were any suspicious relations with the shop in any sort of way. Unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case. Instead, he just had to continue thinking about the puzzle pieces he currently has, and there were many of them, but they just didn't seem to fit into a small thread. There were possibilities, hut that was it. Right now, it was still a bit early, maybe about an hour or two before noon is struck. Regardless, he didn't feel like having any dinner.

All right, we have to meet up back here in an hour, don't hold back with getting information. Elyx said as Ignite flew onto his shoulder gently and chirped happily. He nodded to Myra before he began to run back to the shop and rushed towards Zoe. He didn't know where the Janitors were located quite yet, but then when he got there, he saw them working. How long were they there for? He tilted his head to the side as he looked at te both of them, one of them was a man and one of them was a woman. This was a great chance to talk to them. Hey Zoe, I hope you don't mind if I steal your workers for a second. The Violinist said to the clerk, who smiled as she nodded her head, giving him permission to do just that. The two suspects came with him and they all left the shop. He then realized that the man outside was letting both the Janitors in... Wasn't his ultimate goal to let out anyone until this case is solved? Now he was beginning to look bad, he was not doing his job right, yet he seemed to have the job locked in when he was trying to give access to Elyx and Myra. Was he trying something...?

Hello there. You're the one who was going to question us right? The woman asked as she smiled. The man kept a neutral face on him, normal. Elyx turned to his attention to the woman since she seemed most ready to be given questions. All right, lets begin. Elyx said as he looked at Ignite, he hoped Myra was able to do what she did in the shop. They both needed as much information as they could. These suspects were all able to do such a thing. He made sure the man at the door didn't move form his place, he shared a good amount of suspicious activity as well. He was the next target after these two are taken care of. If he ran away, he becomes a top suspect since that shop isn't closing for a while, he had no reason to go away.

All right, lets start. I need you to answer questions in the order I ask them. Elyx explained as music in the background then began to play, like thinking music. Simple, classic, and an annoying but catchy tune. These two seemed like they were able to attack at any moment, they worked in the daytime after all. All right, my first question. Where were you both at the scene of the crime in the morning? Detective Elyx asked as Ignite flew onto his shoulder, the time to cross examine their jobs and their roles was now. He had a little version of him show his true reactions since he wasn't able to react on the outside his facial expression will reveal much and change the amount of information he would be able to receive if he did something wrong.

We were both in the shop at that time, at the closet as Ms. Zoe asked for an item. The female janitor explained calmly as the man nodded, he didn't seem like one to talk, so question would bounce onto the female. Interesting, but that proved nothing. Now it was time to question their actions. Did you both go? Couldn't she have just sent one of you only? And what was this item anyways? The Violinist asked, pressing forward onto this trial. This was like squeezing lemons, press further and further until you get all of it. In this case, keep pressing further and further. We were looking for a key, and this janitor right here was sent first. But he couldn't find it after five minutes, so I had to help him out. The female janitor replied, but this seemed to be off a little bit. Interesting... Elyx commented, the story pieces already breaking down. These two seemed to be getting guiltier and guiltier.

Oh really? So what about him? What is his name? Elyx asked as he put his hands back in his pockets as a cartoon like lightning bolt shot through the two of them to give a double split screen. The music in the background also changed as well, one that was more intense. The cross examination was being a success. The man and the woman had their eyes wide open. He knew that if it was the man who replied, they would deflect off his question and purpose of asking. It was the woman who asked, if the man replied now, they exposed themselves to a variety of choices that could end their chances. The woman needs to reply correct, because his observation, he found out the name of man janitor... And based on these observations, he was no janitor at all. The woman stood still and tried to think of a good reason or answer, but neither appeared in a minute. They proved to be suspects, but unfortunately, not the criminal. They were accomplices, but not the actual thieves.

I think you both gave me the information I needed. Elyx explained as he then began to walk back to the area in which he and Myra split. Many things in their answers were way off the scales. But the reason why that man was unknown was because he never was, the lady however was a janitor. However, she was still part of this jewel smuggling trade, and she betrayed Zoe. Who the person was though... That was just too much for him to understand yet. He walked up to Myra and tilted his head as Ignite landed on his shoulder. Did you figure anything out yet? I think I have some good information. Now what would happen if the both ended up with different amounts of information that completely clashes with these two. This would be a rather bad case, and there were some theories that could have a few holes to fix. Maybe the friends of Zoe would be able to clear it up. This was going to be a tough test on everyone. The chances of failure were high, but just like Conan said, One Truth Will Prevail, so he mus make sure that truth has prevailed above all others.

I got a couple of accomplices based on the information I obtained. Or at least one, the other just seemed suspicious. What kind of worker does not even know the name of the man she works with? I believe that she is just wearing that to look like a janitor. But the only way she could have known I was coming was if someone knew I was interrogating her. and the only way to figure that out was if someone heard our planning... But... I didn't sense anyone else with Lerale Eye except Zoe and... The Guard... Elyx said as he turned his head back towards the direction of the shop. There didn't seem to be a spy according to the boy, who was able to sense the energy flow of those with equal or less power than him. He looked back to his partner and tilted his head to the side. Question Myra, by any chance... Do you think the guard himself might have done something? He was the only one that could allow people to go in. The boy explained as Ignite then fluttered onto his shoulder and an interest in her eyes to be listening to gossip, or what she would think is gossip. It was like she was a teenage girl, and that would be a hard thing to take care of it that were the case.

The boy looked down to his sword sheathe to see Knight Iris resting peacefully. It would only be a matter of time before the boy was forced to use it, they just needed to know who to use it on an it will be the beginning or a fight. Oh how he longed for a fight, it was what Edogawa has to go through for every case in order to catch the criminals, and now he was about to do the same thing... When they find the criminal, in which Edogawa also had to do. He also had no one to look to for help except himself, Elyx had a leverage since Myra was there to help him and back him up. From there, he looked towards the shop owner, but not much can be said already, he didn't look guilty of anything of all based on what Elyx can see.

I can't sense any workers around here and the shop hours exceed that of Ms. Zoe, we have a whole bunch of witnesses willing to say that he was in here the whole time. It seems we have no reason to arrest him... Questions though still need to be asked.

Ignite flew around the store to see if there was anything wrong with the place. It did contain plenty of items, though they were outdated by what he was able to see. They were even being sold cheap as well, so low that it might as well have a sign that said "Everything Must Go." Nothing seemed to be out of place, and Wind Lerale Eye was not scanning anything that seemed out of place with this man. There could not be any chance that he had anything to do with this. Yeah, there's nothing here to see. We should go. Elyx said as he looked over to Myra. Ignite flew back onto his right shoulder, chirping happily as usual. From there, the three of them left the shop. This lead to nothing, leads were important and the only one that they had was shot down. The solution to their problem sounded simple, but it could not get any harder than this based on what he could tell. That was when Myra explained a small little theory that seemed so obvious, yet they missed it for miles to come. The guard.

The boys eyes shot open as he looked over to Myra. He quickly slipped in a piece of sqaure candy from his pocket and began to chew on it as he listened with much interest. It would only make sense that the guard might have something to do with it. Heh, it seems like the possible culprits were from the staff of Zoe's shop. Man did she choose her employees poorly if that were the case. We have nothing to prove him guilty yet, I am afraid the only thing we are able to do is approach and question him. Elyx explained before turning his head around. Question who now, if you don't mind me asking. The guard man said. It turned out, they were at the shop, and oh did he have questions.

You sir. I am going to have to question you. Where were you at the scene of the crime? Elyx asked, ready to get the yolk out of the egg. The man tilted his head to the side with question. Really now? All right then, if you say so. I was guarding the shop outside, remember? The man asked as he put his hands in his pockets. It's a one way in and out system after all. I was standing right here this whole time. Elyx had his doubts on that one. Ignite flew into the air, the Phoenix Bird nodded her head as she circled her way around the shop. For a thief, it's not just one way in and out. If you can't find a way in, break a way in I would say. But you have access to the shop on your own right?

The boy did not even know what to say. The two of them were getting leads one after another and they were all being shut down so easily. Why did it have to be that case out of all of the damn things? Everyone acts innocent and had Alibis or at least, good enough evidence to prove their innocence. Well, the guard did not exactly prove his innocence just yet, but neither of them were able to hold against again him either since nothing was proven to make him look guilty. It is as almost everyone has said, "Innocent until proven guilty." Conan had his own motto though, one that did not exactly counter the previous statement just mentioned, but it did not exactly support it either. Whenever everyone seemed innocent, yet it is confirmed that there is a killer on the scene, he reminds himself, "Only One Truth Prevails." Yes, everything seemed like a truth, so many truths, but only one can prevail, everything else is a lie. So many theories to pick from like apples, yet he decided to leave the topics alone until the evidence is able to form one beautiful single thread. That was how Edogawa and Doyle was able to do it after all.

Elyx and Myra seemed to be getting away from the guard, the boy not taking a liking to what was going on so far. Then again, this was he first case after all, he should probably be a little bit more patient with this. Ignite quickly fluttered onto his right shoulder as she nudged his head with love and support behind it. The Phoenix Bird knew how to make Elyx feel better, even if he wanted to sulk or whine about what was going on. Because of her, a small grin was placed on his face before he looked over to Myra, one with much information. No other suspects could have done it, it was clear that the thief had been interviewed already anyways. Shall we go over everything we know? Maybe we will find some odd link in the thread of string we are trying to build. Elyx suggested to his partner with curiousity in his tone.

The member 'Myra R.' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

'Monster Dice' :

It seems we found the ones controlling them. Elyx said as he then crossed his arms and locked his light brown eyes on two shadows. The speed in him made him feel like he just got shot with a few hits of coffee, the vibrating in his blood stream, his teeth being clenched with excitement. It all got so much to the point in which he couldn't take it, the spell was going to run out before he could successfully destroy the source of the problem. It was going to be a fun run, his blades were already out, now all he had to do were charge at the shadows. Come over here! Move out of my way! Elyx exclaimed as he then ran through the sphere that would protect them. The first attack was a few bullets, in which Elyx spun himself to the side before ducking under a slow attack with a blade. C ranked attack, nice job, now he was going to have to continue running. The boy had his blades unsheathed and his teeth clenched with determination, the speed he was traveling allowed his body to blur as he was zipping he way over there. The boy sliced the neck enemy to the side, pushing him out of the way. Any fool that stood in his way would get smashed away from him. The net was a rock attack from up front, but the boy was able to see the attack coming and sliced through the rock, causing it to shatter into pieces, half of it being into dust. The boy was near the shadows. They were trying to make a run for it, but the boy was not going to let them get away.

Elyx continued to run through the crowd, his blade being painted in more red with every slice that he was able to carry out. The boy smiled at the success being shown within every attack, and finally, he caught up to the shadows. You aren't getting away from us! Elyx explained before jumping into the air and sliced down onto the ground between the two, ready to shatter it to pieces and cause them to fall.
