8 Chapter 6

For the next few days, Emily searched for more information about the murder. As Natalie Ching was one of the main suspects, mainly because she didn't want Emily to investigate the murder (which was pretty fishy btw) Emily avoided her and refused to play with her for the rest of the week. Natalie found it pretty fishy that her friend was not close to her anymore.

'What is Emily doing? She has been avoiding me for more than a week. Do you know what is she up to?' Natalie asked Serena, a quiet girl in her class. 'Idk. She is always writing something in the library. Do you have any idea what she is doing?' Serena said thoughtfully. 'Writing something? Okay! Thank you!' Natalie said with a dazzling smile and went to find her older sister, Noelle

'And...DONE!!!!!' Emily held up a piece of paper. It contained the suspects of the case.

'YAY!!!!!!! Finally done!!' Emily screamed so loud that her younger sister, Emma, came in and looked around to see what was happening. 'Sis, can you not be so noisy? I need to do my homework too!' Emma said angrily. 'Ok. Sorry, lil' sis,' Emily replied, a bit annoyed.

The list is as follows:

List of possible suspects:

1. Noelle Ching

Reason: She was the one who found Jessalyn's body. Maybe she killed Jessalyn before screaming? BTW, she's good as ventriloquism. Hmmmm. Idk...

2. Natalie Ching

Reason: She was not at school during the time of the murder. Maybe she used the 'going to school' excuse to hide what she had done? It's either Noelle alone or the sisters together. Natalie would not kill someone that easily.

3. Luna Wang

Reason: She clapped, applauded and cheered the loudest after the dead body was announced to be Jessalyn's. Maybe she killed Jessalyn? Natalie also stated that she and Noelle are good friends. Maybe she killed Jessalyn for her BFF?

4. Amelissa Lam

Reason: She was absent for the day. However, she's Jessalyn's best friend. How can a girl kill her best friend? Girls are usually bad at these things 'cause they often use heart and emotion often instead of truth and justice. I know because my mom told me that. She is a doctor. :) But, Idk.

5. Sarai Chang (Sarai means princess in Hebrew, I think)

Reason: She was absent that day too. But, Noelle has stated she has exam the day after the practice. However, no one has said that she was in her house of in the library that day. Maybe she didn't study, and used the excuse to kill Jessalyn? She hates Jessalyn like Noelle did.

6. Joanne Chang

Reason: She should be on duty that hour, but she was not. Only Sophia 姐姐 was there. She said, in the 'party', that she was eating lunch. But, was she? Killing a person? I have no idea what to write...

7. Miss Cheng, the dance instructor

Reason: According to Noelle, she approached Jessalyn's water bottle and praised it. For being 'very beautiful and shows Jessalyn's style completely' said Noelle Ching. Maybe she put some sleeping pill in Jessalyn's drink while she was admiring Jessalyn's water bottle?

8. 謝叔 (Uncle Tse), the janitor

Reason: He's the only one (except the teachers) to have a private room by himself. Plus, he's not on duty at the time of the murder. Where had he gone? Murdering?

Other students in the school: (who were attending the lesson & were not suspicious)

1. Isabella Cheung

2. Riley Tse

3. Avery (Ava) Yang

4. Grace Chiu

'Hooray! I finished. Okay! I'll do my revision. Exam's up and I need to study...' Emily said to herself, then set off with a pen in one hand, and a textbook in another, she headed off to her desk, humming a happy tune...

Next chapter:

'We think that you, Ching Hei Yiu, Noelle Ching, is a possible suspect of Jessalyn Li's death. Please follow us to the Police Station for detention for 48 hours,'

'O-Onee-chan!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I know my sister didn't do it! So, who did? Emily's investigating, I guess. I'll ask her. I will get my sister out of prison. I will...'
