After some rest, Outside the department
Ema: We have read the report many times now. I think we can agree this is a murder.
Joker: Not just that but a planned murder. This case is very complicated and it will require a lot of thinking.
Ema: Should we tell the police?
Joker: Not yet because we have no concrete evidence that proves our claim.
Ema: But that copy, Lina gave us?
Joker: That just proves that a flower killed him not by human hands.
Ema: Mmmmmm.
Ema: What should we do?
Joker: Go to the murder scene and analyze the crime scene over again.
Joker: Can you call the police of San Francisco and ask them, how the crime scene was, when they arrived?
Ema: Calling the department.
Ema: Hello! I'm from the scientific department of New York.
Cop: Hello!
Cop: What can I help you with?
Ema: We need to know, how the crime scene looked like? When you're department arrived at the university.
Cop: I understand!
Cop: I'm going to send you a photo at the crime scene.
Ema: Would be great.
Ema: Thanks!
Cop: No problem!
Joker: Let's walk to the school, I'm lazy today to drive.
Ema: Fine by me.
Joker: Walking towards the university.
40min later
Ema: They finally send the picture to us.
Joker: Great!
Ema & Joker: Looking at the picture.
Ema: Seems that the students did not lie they had a toxic plant exam. The toxic plants were put inside a box to protect them from being poisoned. But what strange to me is, why does the teacher have a plant next to the table?
Joker: I actually agree with you on that because the other teacher who had the exam in the other room did not have a plant next to him. So if we think rationally it was not apart of the exam.
Ema: Maybe it is just an ordinary plant.
Joker: Yeah, it might be but if it is like you said then this case will be very difficult to handle.
Ema: Should we talk to the students again?
Joker: We can totally do that. All we need is to show them our evidence that we gathered so far and see if we can get a reaction from them.
Ema: You mean to pinpoint a crime towards them even tho we are not sure.
Joker: Yes!
Ema: Are we allowed to do that?
Joker: We are allowed to show them our evidence but we cannot create some false evidence that would hurt an innocent person which means we would be in trouble by the higher-ups and the court.
Ema: Let us hope that someone will be afraid and tell us the truth.
Joker: Do not worry about it eventually 10% of the students would not stand the pressure of being interrogated and hopefully they could tell us the truth about this case.
Ema: I pray you are right on this.
Joker: It is a classic cop interrogation system. To make them believe that they are in trouble, which they are not and then they talk.
Ema: We are at the school.
Joker: We need to find a way to talk to the victims.
Ema: I almost forgot about that. They are all probably in different classes, which will be a pain in the ass.
Ema & Joker: Let us call, Grace!!!!
Joker: Do you have her number?
Ema: Sorry I forgot to ask.
Joker: hmmmmmm
Joker: I got an idea.
Ema: I hope it is a bright one.
Joker: Not so bright.
Ema: You are going to embarrass us, are you not?
Joker: How did you know?
Ema: You always do that in a case.
Joker: You got a point.
Joker: Let us go to the principal's office.
Ema: It is on you! If we get kicked out of the university.
Ema & Joker: Walking towards principals office.
Principal: Who are you?
Joker: No, time to explain!
Principal: What are you doing?
Ema: Relax, sir we are the police.
Principal: I do not believe you!
Joker: Leaning towards the mic.
Principal: Is pushing, Joker away.
Joker: You stubborn man let me use the mic to call a student.
Principal: I would not allow you to do that. You seem to be a very sketchy person.
Joker: What did you say, old geezer?
Ema: Sir, Do you want your school to be shut down?
Joker: Good! (thinking)
Principal: Good heavens, no!
Ema: Then do not ruin our investigation or mark my words you will lose your job.
Principal: Is that a threat?
Ema: Showing the badge.
Principal: Looking at the badge.
Principal: Sorry! My bad, go ahead and use the mic.
Joker: Grace, the one that helped us with the investigation come to the principal's office!!!!!!! (Mic)
Principal: I seriously thought you were thieves. You look so messy both of you.
Joker: Do not look down on people, no matter how they look, remember that principal.
Ema: What is with him? (thinking)
Principal: You look so tired. Do you want some coffee?
Ema: Sure!
Joker: Sure!
After some time
Grace: Opens the door...
Joker: Finally you came, we have not so much time left.
Joker: Can you assemble the students who had the exams?
Grace: On my way! But where should I tell them to go?
Ema: At the lab room.
Grace: Understood.
Grace: Walks away......
Joker: Turns around to the principal.
Principal: What is it?
Joker: You should give that girl a medal because she helped us plenty. Thanks to her we are closer to unlocking the mystery.
Principal: What mystery, detective?
Joker: Cannot tell you it is a secret.
Principal: Do as you wish!
Ema: We have to go to the lab room.
Joker: You may join us.
Principal: I can't, have a lot of paper works to fill in and reports but please take with you, the class representative from our school.
Ema: Where is that person?
Principal: He is about to arrive at my office for a meeting.
Class Rep: Knocking........
Principal: Come in!
Class Rep: You wanted to meet me.
Joker: You will be following us to the lab room. We do not have much time.
Principal: Nods.
School Rep: Fine!
At the lab room!
Students: Why are we here?
School Rep: Please, explain that to us.
Students: Why is the school representative here?
Ema: Because he needs to witness it with his own eyes.
School Rep: Why?
Joker: Emilia, show the picture.
Ema:Â Shows the picture.,.
Student: Eeeeeeeeew! What is that?
Joker: Your masterpiece.
School Rep: Whose heart is it? And what is this yellow dot on the heart?
Joker: Your, teacher! Who died in this class.
Students: Talking...
Joker: Can you please explain to them what it is, Emilia?
Ema: There is a small number of spores stuck on the victim's heart which leads to a heart attack.
School Rep: What! So you suggesting that someone is a murderer in this school.
Joker: You better believe it because it is true.
Ema: We believe this is a systematic murder.
Joker: This means according to the law we may send you more than 1 year to prison.
Student: Talking........
School Rep: This is a scandal! (shocked)
Students: Talking..........
Joker: Somebody could not stand the teacher who had ruined their lives. So he got his life ruined instead-but rest assure we have juvenile prisons for youth. So do not think that you will just get a free pass because you are young.
Students: Talking..............
School Rep: That is so terrifying that someone did that to our teacher. !
Teacher: Surprised...
Joker: We need to ask each one of you a question.
Joker: I will be kind and let you know the questions before, so you could remember them, Is it clear?
Students: Yeah!
Joker: Do you know about the plant that was close to your teacher? Why did you not help him if you saw him having a heart attack?
Joker: Did I missed something, Ema?
Ema: Hmmmmmmmmm.
Ema: Did all of you experimented on the same flower?
Joker: Good question! I totally forgot to ask that.
Joker: You have 10min to think.
Teacher: What about us and the other classes?
Ema: You are not suspects anymore because the culprit is in this class.
Teacher: Who could have done something like this?
Ema: We have no idea.
Joker: We will soon find out about it.
Ema: I still do not get it, how he could have been poisoned with some flower. When they all were inside the box to protect them from being poisoned. Even if that harmful flower was at the teacher's desk there is no way it would have killed him.
Joker: Why?
Ema: Because the poison needs to spread somewhere. Often flowers/plant spread their poison if they feel threaten.
Joker: Of course!
Teacher: This young girl has absolutely right, Mr. detective. I cannot imagine how the school would allow an exam this dangerous.
Joker: True and besides we need to find a catalyst who made the flower/plant spread the poison.
Joker: Any ideas, teacher or Ema?
Teacher: If there was some kind of wind or if he smelled the flower or touched it.
Ema: I agree.
Students: We are done, officer.
Joker: Good!
Joker: Let us play a game as we did before.
Students: OK.
Joker: Yes is right and no is left.
Joker: Did you experimented on the same flower during the exams?
Students: Walking towards no corner.
Joker: So they experimented on different flowers, damn. Which means it will be harder to investigate.
Teacher: It was to stop them from cheating.
Ema: Interrogates the suspects.
Joker: Thinking.................
Joker: How did the poison from the flower enter the teacher's body? If I figure out that part the case is closed.
(Thinking)
Joker: Looking around...
Joker: Nothing............ Just an air vent at the back of the classroom and nobody is so stupid to infect themselves. (Thinking)
Joker: There must be another way...
45min later
Ema: Joker, I'm done interrogating them. Would you like to read my notes?
Joker: Of course!
Joker: Reading...
Questions: Do you know about the plant that was close to your teacher? Why did you not help him if you saw him having a heart attack?
Person 1: Plant- Lily of Valley, symptoms= Illusions and blurry visions, and slow heart rate.
Had no idea about the plant at the desk. He was too focused on his work to notice the teacher's condition.
Person 2: Plant - Cally Lily
Symptoms = Swollen lips and abdominal pain only if you eat the flower. He was focused on his work to notice the teacher's condition and he had no idea about the plant at the desk.
Person 3: Plant = FoxGloves
Symptoms: Illusions, Slow heartbeat and it is dangerous to smell it. He saw the teacher leave the class, so he did nothing. The flower was probably taken from a student that cheated.
Person 4: Plant = Oleander
Symptom: Spread it's toxic while it is threatened or by burning. You suffer from fever and a slow heartbeat.
She said that the teacher was sent to another dimension and that the plant was gone too.
Person 6: Plant= White baneberry
Symptoms= Illusions
She says the teacher was sleeping and the flower started to walk.
Person 7: plant: Azaela
Symptoms: Suffocation and Nausea.
She says the teacher was bleeding and the flower too.

Person 10: Plant - Lily of Valley
Symptoms = ~
She said she was on the beach.
Person 11: Plant = White Baneberry
Symptoms = ~
She said she was on a fashion show.
Joker: Strange they all had different statements.
Ema: That is why I wanted to show you my notes. It is most likely they have inhaled the poison too. We must be quick with our investigation so that they can seek help.
Joker: This is worse than we have imagined.
Ema: It seems so!
Ema: Our catalyst is most likely an air vent.
Joker: Let me look around.......
Joker: Not there nor there......
Joker: Where could the air vent be hiding.
Joker: thinking.....
Joker: Air went at the back= No
Air went close to the flower at the desk = Maybe.
Joker: So stupid of course there is an air vent next to the teacher's desk.
Ema: We looked there, remember we could not find it.
Joker: Because it might be hidden.
Ema: What do you mean.
Joker: Taking a chair and looking up.
Joker: Wind blows at him.
Joker: Look over here! There was an air vent, after all, we just did not pay any attention to it because the wind was not strong enough below us.
Ema: Impressive!
Ema: Teacher, was the air vent this strong before?
Teacher: I do not think so.
School Rep: This is a scandal our school might get shut down. We should call an ambulance in order to help them.
Ema: Not yet!
School Rep: Why not?
Joker: Our forensic scientists have to find the flower that poisoned them or they will die.
School Rep: True!
Joker: Asking the students about the plant in the desk and air vent.
1hour later.
Joker: I got a reaction from my eye which means all of them knew something was not right with the teacher.
Ema: That is great!
Joker: Kind of because now we know that anyone could have killed him.
Ema: I hate when you are right.
School Rep: What should we do?
Ema: We have to wait for the report from the forensic scientist.
Students: Can we take a break?
Joker: Fine but go only to the next room and nothing more or you will go to prison.
Students: Fine!
Joker: And now we can think in peace.
Joker: Call, Lina tell her to come over here and tell her to bring the cops and at the same time, Eric and Amanda.
Ema: I totally forgot about them.
Ema: But we have no accusations yet.
Joker: It will be fine since we have proof that it was a murder.
Ema: I hope so!
Ema: Calling.......
Lina: Hello!
Ema: Hey it is me, Ema.
Lina: Good timing I have analyzed the poison and believe me it was tricky because the poison had so little amount that it was hard to trace it.
Ema: What flower is it?
Lina:Â Lily of Valley and it can be really dangerous the more you inhale it and on some occasions, you might die.
Ema: Can you treat it?
Lina: Yeah I could it is not so deadly.
Lina: Why are you asking me this?
Ema: We need you over here and please bring a team and tell Eric and Amanda to follow you it is urgent.
Lina: Why?
Ema: Students have been poisoned too, by the same flower.
Lina: Dear lord! I sure will tell them, miss.
Ema: Thanks I appreciate it.
Lina: No worries!
Joker: Everyone please go outside except for me and my partner because we are going to do an experiment.
Ema: What do you mean?
Joker: We are going to recreate the murder.
Ema: What it is too dangerous.
Joker: We have to prove our theory right now, no matter what. Do you prefer that the killer walks free?
Ema: Of course not!
Joker: Then let us do this!
Joker: You will be going outside and wait because I do not want you to have a near-death experience and besides I'm used to this shit.
Joker: Go outside and start the vent...
Ema: Ok?
Ema: Walks outside...
After some time
Ema: Starts the air vent.
Joker: Locks the door...
Ema: Banging the door!!!!!
Ema: You tricked me.
Ema: Do not use the poisonous flower you might die. (Yelling)
Joker: I have no choice, I have to know if we are right. (Yelling)
Ema: The flowers are not here even if they were you can't tell apart which plant is which. (Yelling)
Joker: True but the police only took the poisonous flowers
and they taught the flower next to the teacher was a normal plant. (Yelling)
Ema: Crap.......
Joker: Sits at the teacher's desk...
Joker: I hope, I do not die. (Thinking)
Ema: Do not sit for too long or I will storm in. ( Yelling)
5min has passed.
Joker: Nothing is happening...
Joker: Walks outside......
Joker: Ema, Maybe it is just an ordinary plant and we made a mistake.
Ema: Do not be silly it takes around 15 to 30min for the poison to kick in.
30min passed.
Joker: Puff puff......
Ema: What is it now?
Joker: We are right...
Joker: Faints......
Cops: The Police!!!!!!!
Lina: Where are the students?
Lina: What happened to him?
Ema: Got infected by the same flower...
Lina: I will take care of him immediately.
1hour passed.........
Joker: Wakes up!
Ema: You stupid fool you could have died.
Joker: I knew the cops would come with the serum.
Ema: It could have been traffic.
Joker: Then I would be dead, it is fine by me.
Ema: Slaps! Joker......
Joker: Ouch!!!
Joker: What is that for?
Ema: For not dying.
Joker: Geez, thanks...
Joker:Â Where are the suspects?
Ema: Lina is treating them...
Joker: Do you have a crimepad with you?
Ema: Yeah! We could use it to show them how the case took place.
Joker: Precisely.
Joker: Getting foggy.....
Ema: Are you sure you are fine you can barely walk?
Joker: I'm fine!
At the Lab room.
Eric:Â We have just arrived as fast as we could and please tell me, what kind of evidence did you just find?
Joker: Please use your crimepad.
Amanda: What is a crimepad?
Ema: A 3d simulation system.
Ema: Using the crimepad.
Ema: Typing codes.
Ema: Simulates the crime scene.
Amanda: Amazing!
Eric: So you made it?
Lina: Omg! I love this tech.
Ema: Yeah!
Ema: Let me explain how the crime took place.
Eric: Be my guest.
Ema: The killer waited until the break and switched his plant with the professor.
Ema: Then he turned the air vent a bit up so that, The Valley of Lily would spread its spores. When the teacher arrived after the break he was infected already but the killer did not count that he would infect others and himself.
Eric: Sounds logical but who is the killer?.
Joker: Thinking...........
Lab Room = Break = Time to plan the murder = Switched the plant = Teacher arrived = Air Went = Spore spread = Class suffer from hallucinations = Teacher dies = Why? = 1 killer or more?
Joker: We need some questions answered, why did the teacher die? Was it one killer or more?
Amanda: I would arrest the person who switched the plant by taking fingerprints.
Eric:Â Let us not forget that they wore gloves.
Amanda: I forgot.
Ema: Asking, Lina...
Lina: Talking to, Ema.
Ema: Seems that I have figured out, how he got killed. (Thinking)
Joker: But if the killer switched the plant's people should have known about it. (Thinking)
Joker: Could it be? (Thinking)
Joker: Ema, do you have something on your mind?
Ema: Yes!
School Rep: Please tell us! I insist my reputation is on the line.
Joker: Whispering to every student something...
Ema: Well the teacher died by poison and for being ill. What I meant by that is if a low amount of poison enters your system you won't die but if you are ill your antibodies will target your illness then the poison.
School Rep: This means he was unlucky because the antibodies divided themselves to kill anything that targets the human body but the problem is they repair our body slower if we have more health issues... Well, we and the students knew that our teacher sufferers from bad health such as genetic heart problem.
Ema: Correct!
Amanda: Who killed him?
Joker: I'm afraid that people in this room that hated the teacher killed him.
Teacher: No way!
School Rep: Are you crazy! (Angry tone)
Joker: Far from it!
Students: You are wrong!
Joker: How so?
Students: We did not have Lily flower in our hands.
Joker:Â But you could have kept it quiet because it is strange that you did not notice that somebody switched the flower.
Joker: Your motive was to make him sick and skip the class but not to kill him.
Joker: What you did was so stupid. Crying about grades when you have your whole life in front of you. Grades are not your life stock because I've been near death situation many times and it is no joke. You will beg to stay alive. (Angry tone)
Ema: As a scientist, I'm really mad about what you did. Science should be to experiment and discover things and not to kill.
Joker: Do not be afraid students, your sentences will be halved by 1 year since it was an accident.
Students: Not fair! It was accidental.
Students: Some trying to escape.
Joker: Grabs one student.
Eric: Grabs two students.
Amanda: You are surrounded!
Student: Do you think we are stupid? We can just jump from the window.
Eric: If you do that your penalties will be harsh.
Class Rep: Please surrender! You have nowhere to go.
Students: Some students trying to jump from the window.
Amanda: I hope we have cops at the back of the building.
Eric: They will get arrested a soon as they land.
Eric: Take them away! (Screaming)
Cops: Taking away the suspects...
Student: Damn they are everywhere!
Students: Holding their hands.
Eric: Well done! You solved the case and proved me wrong.
Joker: No problem!
Lina: Save my number and call me anytime you want, huns.
Ema: Thanks, Lina.
At The Police District in New York
Chief: I have heard the news you solved a complicated case, yet again but I'm so saddened to see so many youngsters go to prison.
Joker: They did that to themselves sometimes I cannot understand the society.
Ema: It is probably because they felt pressure at home and at school.
Joker: Sadly, I think you are right.
Chief: I'm impressed by your teamwork and I hope to see you solve more cases in the future.
Ema: We will!
