"Are you sure you're okay?" Eric asked Violet as she took a look at the crime scene. She held a piece of paper up directly at the light and sniffed on it. She then walked towards the bathroom, Eric followed suit.

"I am fine," she exhaled, getting tired of Eric's irritating questions about her health. "Take a look at this." She handed him a piece of tissue that was lying on the bathroom sink.

"Ketchup stain?" Eric asked as he examined the tissue paper.

She looked at him as if he's talking nonsense, "It was blood. Have it checked by the forensics for us to know whose blood it is."

Eric flashed her a shy smile, "Sorry." He took the tissue and put it on a ziplocked bag. He then leaves her for a while to look for the examiner.

Violet looked at the table once more. An envelope that was inside the third drawer took her attention.
