Greene respected the man's pushiness, but understood that withholding some evidence from Charles didn't help that much, although his businesses would consider to prosper, after all. The stock ticker on his right reported a 0.2% increase in all of Greene's stocks for the day as he watched Charles with the utmost amount of care as he went down the elevator, keeping a note of him in his notebook. If they were to ever meet again in the future, he predicted that Charles would be quite the interesting interrogator. As for Jones, he had already taken note of Charles' message and sped over to the police station in order to discuss about who the killer was. He hoped that Ramirez had taken care of their requests and if he had, he was ready to work with Charles and discover who the killer of Samuel Rye really was.

Charles went back down to the PD, being sure to go in extremely carefully. before announcing his findings to Jones. "So, we got a motive for Henry Crane. Were going to nail him, I can ensure you of that. First and foremost, let us see what they have for us first." He'd go up to Rameriz, hoping that his literal laundry list of requests would have been finished by now. Although he had doubted that the forensics department would be so efficient, he could still hope, right? "We got everything processed yet? i can wait a bit, if necessary. but, I just wanted to come and check in on your progress so far." He had a laid back expression on his face now, as if he had gotten a quite heavy load off his chest. It was almost like confronting Greene met a lot more to him then just simply having a new piece of evidence to one of his many investigations... No, this proved a point that he had been wanting to prove for ages now. that cooperate isn't invincible from the law, that no one is.

"Those requests? I've piled them over to Jones, they should be visible on your police PDA," Ramirez nodded, as he gave out a yawn before passing the paper over to Jones and Charles, with carbon powder sprinkled all over the note. This powder would fit within the grooves of the note and with a quick brush, the message was revealed for all to see. "Bet 10,000 dollars at the Stock Exchange: We will see who's better", read the note and just below it, two signatures were detected, the signatures of Sam and Harry. "As for the names on the list, I can absolutely promise you that none of them were falsified or made up. Now, as for the sword..." Ramirez would pause, before checking his notebook and telling Charles the information, "We found more traces of face cream on the handle, but we tried to get some fingerprints from it and the only thing we could find were some plain old glove-prints that belong to a set of cotton gloves. However, Nathan compared the sword marks on the victim to your weapon and I can tell you that this is your murder weapon! Finally, as for the stock market, the front doors are locked during the night." "So, you think Harry's our guy?" Jones would ask, as he walked over to the phone. "Should I call him into the police station or do you want to go to the stock market to handle him? I'm in the same boat as you here, but what led to you thinking that he was our killer?"

"Alongside the fact he clearly tried to hide the motive, much more then Ms. Kate did- when she flat out admitted what her motive was. However, it is clear Henry had no intentions of spilling it. Plus, he wears facial cream. Something Ms. Kate does not, from what I have observed from her appearance alone. Alongside that however, he was at the party. and admitted that he had the type of drug used to drug the victim at his disposal. so, It's clear that he has MMO. It is now a simple matter of proving him guilty, which should be easy. And confront him at the stock market, getting him called in would give him more valuable time to think of a response. if we catch him off guard though, it is much more likely for him to crack under pressure then if he comes prepared. it is a simple matter of criminal psychology, really. But, I'm getting off on a tangent. call him in, and we'll take it from here." He'd look over at Jones with a look of preparedness, almost as if he had been planning this entire route of attack the entire time.

With that type of logic in mind in Jones' head, Jones called over a nearby taxi with Zeus inside and the two officers hopped in, before they went to the stock market, the taxi guzzling gas and smoke behind them as it encroached upon several traffic lights. "Ahaha, you have no idea who I just took for a drive. Apparently Scott Greene, one of Greene's sons, actually needed to use Zeus' taxi once in a while! This is the kind of advertising that'll push me to the top, I'll buy a taxi emporium at this rate!" he chuckled out, believing in his fantasies as they approached the stock market, Zeus' taxi slowing down to left the officers leave. James was still keeping watch over Harry Krane inside of the stock market as he tapped his foot, seeing that the officers were probably about to question him once more. He looked over his shoulder before going back to minding his own business. "It looks like he hardly suspects that we're about to accuse him of the crime," Jones responded, carefully approaching the stock market as he swiped his ID Card, preparing himself for the fight against the smartly-dressed stock trader.

He walks up to Crane, and says "Hey, were back. Now.. i think you have quite the bit to answer for. We found out that the victim was drugged with a substance similar to the one you admitted putting in your drink, alongside the fact that you have a clear motive, with the race for the position of Greene's stockholder. Alongside that, we have a bet right here that indicates you had been planning to gamble quite the large sum of money. and before you deny it, we have your signature. it'll be easy to confirm or deny if you actually made the bet or not. Alongside that too, you have no alibi- No, let me correct that. Your alibi involves you being close by the victim almost the entire time, so you have nothing to really object to. Alongside that, the Samurai sword came from the casino. and thanks to that list of guests, alongside facial cream on both the sheath and the murder weapon's handle, i think i can be sure that you are the only plausible suspect in this instance. Alongside that too, we have a mysterious set of glove-prints. No gloves were found at the crime scene however, and the scene was secured extremely quickly."

Harry Krane would take all of this information in before planning his initial attack, planting himself into the ground before preparing his initial counterattack. "Well, I'm the villain now, hmm? I have several objections to what you've just claimed, but let's begin with the most obvious one. Although it may be possible that I had such a motive, can you prove that I would have known about that job search, when Greene supposedly only watched from an application? Not only that, I'll admit to the bet that we made, but $10,000 is chump change compared to the millions that I have! And with those millions, can you really prove that I would have cared about becoming Greene's stockholder, when I already have millions on me in various bonds and stocks?" The battle was certainly going to get heated and Jones stepped back to let Charles argue his points.

"Ah, yes. The contract, primarily. And the note in itself. You seemed to be extremely prideful in that note to prove who was the better of the two, No? You didn't care about being a stockholder. but as you said, he was a "Wonder kid." You wanted to prove you were better than him. It was a matter of pride, infarct. And considering what occurred, you had lost that bet. He had damaged your pride, and that is why you took your revenge against him. Plus, both of your contracts are extremely similar. I doubt that wasn't a "coincidence". Plus, the phone is circumstantial evidence. Face it, you have to admit it. From your behaviors and the evidence surrounding it, alongside your initial statements about the victim. It's more then clear that you had a strong motive to dispose of him in the end, don't you agree with me?

"Well, you certainly have a reasonable point, but it's possible that Alden may have been lying after all. He could have entered the place and ripped the contract in half, after all, no? Those are the facts as I see them and since you'd need a Class-2 key card to access that room, can you prove that Alden didn't destroy the contract and show how I managed to enter a Class-2 room if I was the ripper?" Samuel certainly didn't seem to be giving up any time soon, as he was still attacking the motive placed upon him without even getting close as to how he managed to commit the crime.

"For one, we have no clue if you have a class 2 key-card or not. we never clarified that... However, you are quite the powerful man. I'm sure that if Greene trusted you, and you had the money. You could easily buy your way into a class 2 key-card. And how to prove he didn't rip it in half? He had no motive to. Plus the fact he has an airtight alibi, which can be reinforced if necessary. He was upstairs the entire time, and didn't go downstairs once. Furthermore, he would have no motive to destroy the contract until after the murder itself had occurred. And the best part is? Even if you did or didn't, it doesn't change the motive in the slightest. In-fact, it makes it even worse for you. If we find glove-prints on the note in itself, and since Greene and Kate- the only two other potential suspects. have airtight alibis, with one being upstairs at the time of the murder and the other not even having a level 2 key-card... That leaves only you with the MMO to do so."

"Hmph, fine. I'll accept that your motive carries some merit, yet, it's impossible for me to have done the murder. Don't you remember Kate Murphy's testimony? She stated that we ordered a bottle of vodka and then drank from it. Now, if we really did drink from our shot glasses, as she testified, which came from that blue and drugged bottle of vodka, then tell me, how exactly was I able to murder him?" Jones seemed a little confused before coming to a conclusion. "Oh, so you're saying that it's impossible for you to have killed him, since you would have been under the effects of those depressants?" he concluded, realizing that the supposed killer had a good point. "But of course, men like me never make mistakes. And that's why it's impossible for me to have avoided ingesting the barbiturates in that vodka bottle so that I could kill him. Ask Kate if you like, she saw both of us drink and she shall maintain that point if she doesn't want to commit perjury. Of course, she didn't drink anything, so I think it's more plausible that she's the killer, wouldn't you agree?"

"It's simple, really. We discovered that one of the bottles of vodka didn't have any Herbiatures from it. While your partner could've very easily drank that bottle, or been drugged through other means. You could very easily had just poured from the bottle that had no drugs in it, and you would've been fine. Not like anyone would've saw the difference, in the end. it was a bottle of vodka, right? Who cared if it looked slightly different, booze is still booze, in the end. no?" He said in a rather bold and confident tone, knowing that Crane was likely the type to get scared whenever someone was actually going to try and stand up against him, like Charles had just began to do right then and there. "Plus, we can always check for glove prints on that bottle. I'm sure it'll compare with the sword and the torn note's."

"Fine, yet, there's still a problem with that. You claim that I had a way of drugging him, but I'm not a magician. I couldn't be in possession of both bottles at once and if there is some way that I used to drug him, you better hurry up and show it to me. Not only that, if we simply drank from the bottles of vodka, we'd just be a bit tipsy, that's all, so how did I manage to drug him without drugging myself, while only using one bottle of vodka? As for the sword, when was my opportunity to swipe the weapon? After all, it was under the watch of Kate Murphy and all of the casino-goers for the entire night." His next two points had more to do with getting the weapon and finishing up how he managed to drug the victim, but this was certainly the apex of his defense. If Charles managed to take this down, Harry would have to fall back onto another point.

"Well, for one. We found a powder of the same substance. It's a easy matter. Just switch out the undrugged bottle with the already pre-drugged one, take a few shots from it, then add in the powdery substance. You'd easily be able to getting drugged, while he was getting all of the chemicals himself. even if you got a bit in your body, it would be enough for you to compose yourself and continue your plot. And Kate wasn't in the casino all night. and you REALLY expect her to be able to keep track of 50+ people all at once? That'd be a physical impossibility. so just wait for when she's distracted.. preferably when shes in a argument or planting a note on a table, perhaps. to snatch the sword. And then, you just had to wait for her to leave for a few moments. You could easily had hid in the stock room, where you tore up that contract. And then left the room, then went out and left the sword in itself in the casino. Best part? Both of these times, she was distracted. so you wouldn't even have to sign your name on the list and you could get away with it."

"Hah! You wish, but with all of those people watching me rob a $80,000 sword, I think I'd need a distraction before I'd try anything like that, Charles. And although I must agree with your point about the liquor, I have another question, can you prove that I was with him when he left the train station party? After all, you've only proven that I was with him at the party and not when I was at the casino." He wasn't going to stand down from his point about the sword unless you presented proof of a distraction and as for the party, that was certainly going to be tricky...but thinking about his movements, where he was and what he couldn't have done should help.

"oh, theres a extremely good distraction. Remember that bad fight that had occurred? With Kate and Samuel, that would've attracted quite the bit of attention. not only diverting hers, but everyone else's. attention away. It would be a large enough distraction, anyways. Plus, you waren't found among st the party-goers. Meaning you must've left before the party crashed. Furthermore, theirs the fact that you were both sedchulded to be there at night to "prove who's better". In fact, that even further proves the fact that you cared a lot about your pride, and status within the stock market. Either way, the logic and Circumstantial evidence is more than enough to prove you were definitely there at the time of the crime. And before you try to rebutt with "That note was from a earlier date", why would he still have it on him then? and furthermore, why would our killer try so hard to make sure that the note was unreadable before leaving? And the FUNNIEST BIT. With those sedatives in him, theres no way he would've been able to get all the way to the casino and the market without some sort of support, he was drugged out of his mind.

"Aghh...well, what about the taxi, then? He could have flagged a taxi over and just drove there! Now try to disprove that, Charles! And even then, you won't have any reasoning to tell me why no one would have heard his screams of death as he thrashed about! My God, he even broke one of his arms in the process as he tried to escape!" That last hit seemed to have done a bit of damage of Harry's defenses, but he was still hanging on with a few more points. However, it looked like he was planning to unleash another offensive attack, so Charles would have to be careful if he were to keep attacking his points.

"Oh? and then what happens when he gets out of there? I admit, he went into a Taxi. However... You have to keep in mind this, he would've still had to walk into the market itself. AND go into the stock market in itself, using a key-card. that's quite the bit of walking and coordination he'd have to do.. and furthermore, the reason nobody heard his screams of death? it's simple. He couldn't, even if he wanted to. The mixture of Vodka and sedatives were enough to make him almost completely unaware of what was occurring until the last moments, where he tried to fight... But the sedatives were still strong enough for him to not be able to scream out for help. Any rebuttals at all to that, Mr. Crane?"

"Hmmmmmm....I do have one. Concerning the act of the crime, first off, why did I return the katana to the casino and why was I not noticed at the scene of the crime? After all, I am Harry Krane, a famous stock trader and being seen at the scene of the crime meant that my presence would have been recorded. We are only as different as the suits we wear and as the list says, my name was never on the list. You checked it for yourself, yes?" Harry seemed to be giving out a few more points, but he was quickly running out of fuel and would need change tactics quickly if he wanted to keep going, Charles' attacks were starting to have a huge effect on him.

"You returned the katana to set up a line of defense. You knew for a fact that there had been.. Troubles between Samuel and His Ex-lover. If she was the one around the casino, and the katana was found there. who'd that incrimate? And furthermore, I have already explained both times how you slipped back in. From what I am aware of, she is the one responsible for keeping the list. All you would have to do is hide in the stock room for a few moments, slip past her and put down the katana. Then end up leaving. And the first time, was because of the mass distraction. in other words, you wouldn't have to go past that list at all. The motive was to frame Kate, known by your partnership with samuel, and the list can easily be bypassed by the two times nobody was raelly paying attention to it. That is all, do you have any more questions about that?
