Bribe the guard with donuts to let you in the house.

Ask the guard if they know who threatened Mr. Brown or if he was threatened at all.

You approach the guard, walking as if you own the darn house. As you reach into your bag to pull out a donut, he shoots you a look and says "No visitors."

Well darn. It seemed like a good idea at first. Instead of the donut, you pull out a business card.

"Hello, ," you say with a smile, handing him the business card. "I just wanted to ask a few questions about the case." The cop raises an eyebrow. "Discovery Channel? Didn't you people visit yesterday?" he said.

"Well, yes," you add hurriedly. "But the director would like for me to clarify a few things. Oh, and..." you show him a yellow manilla envelope. "Of course, cooperation will yield gratitudes..."

"Ah..." the cop nods knowingly. Money, of course, is a common language.

"Well," the cop said. "What do you want to clarify?"

"We heard rumors that Mr.Brown was threatened by someone. Have the police been able to confirm the nature of the threatening messages? If so, what were his motives?"

The police's face darkens. "You know I cannot answer that," he replied flatly. "I will, however, confirm that Mr.Brown was indeed threatened. Mr.and Mrs. Brown thought it was merely a prank, and did not call the police. It is a truly tragic circumstance, really. If they did, we might have been able to stop the entire affair."

You nod approvingly. In heart, you can't help but feel as if the guy rehearsed this whole thing too well...was he just standing in front of the house waiting for a reporter to ask him this question?

"The poor man." the police adds. "I don't know if I should be telling you this..." he leans forward. "But...we haven't been able to find any motive whatsoever. Mr. Brown moved into this neighbourhood just a month ago, and he never made any enemies."

"Anything else you want to clarify?"

Sorry I came here late.

Ask the fellow about Mr Browns family. Any children or relatives? Whats his occupation?

**Seon** · 12-25-2010, 17:29

"Sorry," the cop replies. "That would be a private affair."

*note: Yes, Mr. Brown was a corporate executive. It is not completely unforseeable that he, in his career, made several enemies. However, I will guarentee that that was not the motive. This was the work of a psychopath.

Ask if there have been any similar murders recently.

**Seon** · 12-25-2010, 22:09

"No," the cop replies. "This has been a crime free neighbourhood for the past...4 years. The emergency personnel didn't expect it to be a murder. Frankly none of us expected it to be a murder, so they just sent some paramedics. The hospital was closer to this house than the police station anyways."

The police pauses to remember. "It's all quite a mystery..." he said. "How could this have happened? All the windows of this house are locked from the inside, and they all have vibration detecting sensors built into it. The door's fitted with an autolock and the wife swore that the chain was still set from the inside when she opened the door. We think that she did it... She's the only one who can....but then why? And where did the murder weapon go?
