[h1]Contest #7 - Elementary My Dear[/h1]

[b]Judge:[/b] Prince of Seraphs
[b]Type:[/b] Writing Challenge
[b]Deadline:[/b] Tuesday, March 31 2015 evening

Your task is to take the provided prompt and craft a 3rd-person, non-canon short story involving your Heroes of Beacon character based around it. There is no minimum or maximum length for this particular contest but something of substance would be appreciated.

[b]Prompt:[/b] In the middle of the semester it is discovered that someone has been murdered, your character was somewhere nearby when this happened but they were [i][b]not[/b][/i] the murderer. For your own reasons you feel the strong need to solve this case and see the perpetrator brought to justice. The details of this are entirely up to you, the victim can be another student one of the teachers or someone we've never seen in the story before, perhaps a family member. The murder itself while of course all details concerning it are your choice I would hope that it was at least somewhat successfully executed, Example: the murderer shouldn't be found twenty minutes later covered in blood, holding the murder weapon. I give more points the more intricate (and perhaps ridiculous though don't go overboard) the plots are, such things as alibi tricks, murder from a distance and confusing time of death are all encouraged.
