Ch 14 – George’s alibi

Salim was taking George's alibi inside the library on the first floor.

"The day of the murder. Start from when you arrived at the mansion" said Salim calmly.

"Alright" said George and began.

“11 AM- I arrived at the mansion with my boy Joseph. Joseph may be a troublemaker. But he is a good driver. When we exited the car Jack greeted us quickly then left. I greeted Succi, Jude, Reiner when they entered the garage. Joseph only hugged Succi and left. I was worried about what my boy was gonna pull so I went into the recroom. As suspected Joseph was playing in the recroom all by himself.

Without even getting permission, without even greeting everyone in the house. Without even drinking tea first! I scolded him for his manners.

12 PM- He seemed very annoyed at me and entered the dark room and locked the door.

I tried to reach him out through the door but it seemed like a futile effort so I stopped.

13 PM- I went outside to get a breath of fresh air after that argument. After a nice 30 or so minutes of breath of the wild, I went back into the mansion to find someone to chat with.

14 PM- I went upstairs, entered the lab to find Tenma and Nile there as well and we sat together to discuss. I complained about Joseph and his manners but the others didn’t seem interested to hear so we soon changed the subject matter."

16 PM- We talked for a while. I decided to go to the bathroom to take a dump. When I came back and opened the door to the lab I saw Tenma on the ground and Nile was sitting on top of him."

"Huh, that is quite surprising" said Salim. He then said awkwardly "Were those two...Gay or something?"

"Oh no, they weren't gay. If anything they occassionally had banters that turned into arguments. We were friends. But Tenma and Nile had a bit of a cold relationship at times." said George with surprise.

"Okay, go on." said Salim.

"17 PM- Hori opened the door to the lab and told us that dinner was ready. The three of us chatted about how hungry we were from all the talking and went to the dining hall."

18 PM - Jude and Yumiko went and returned to the dining hall with Marian and we began eating. Afterwards I asked Tenma to give me his test tubes and chemical collection that he promised to give me a while ago. He was happy to give it to me. But he worried that bringing all those things would be a hassle.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

I told him that I already brought a trolley, so it wouldn’t be a problem. But Tenma said the tubes and chemicals are upstairs.

I realized my stupidity, but regardless I asked to put the trolley in the main hall, to at least make it easier for the tubes and chemicals to be carried. Tenma agreed."

19 PM- I entered the garage, pulled out the trolley from the back of Mikhail's car and brought it to the main hall. Afterwards, Tenma, me, Succi, Nile, Jack and Mikhail all went upstairs, entered the lab and brought down the chemicals and tubes carefully onto the trolley.

I also put a white sheet on the trolley to cover the chemicals from light."

Sal "Okay, some key questions regarding the trolley and the chemicals. First of all, can you draw a picture of the trolley, how big was it?" asked Salim with a serious tone.

"Oh, it's big, had two stores. The upper store was filled with the chemicals and only a few were placed at the bottom. I'll draw a picture of it for you after I'm done with my alibi. As for the chemicals, I'll also make a list. But generally there were a bunch of chemicals that would go bad if exposed to light for long." said George.

He pondered for a while and added "Also a lot of the chemicals were poisonous and would give you bad case of throat burn or even kill if you drank them. But thankfully no one was stupid enough to drink from it, at least I think so.

Anyways, the six of us went to the recroom to play some billiard pool. After playing a little, Tenma left.

20 PM- We continued to play. Succi ended up winning the game. Mikhail and I were tired of playing so we went to the dining hall. I decided to smoke while Mikhail left the dining hall quietly.

Nile arrived next to me and together we smoked and talked about the news.

22 PM- After a while we finally finished our talk. We went to the main hall to see Joseph and Reiner enter the garage. When Joseph came back I told him to go home without me since I planned on staying here.

Joseph went into the garage. Reiner then started pestering me and Nile about our whereabouts and told us about how knives were missing. "The nerve for him to suspect us! I yelled at him, saying that he was falsely accusing us of attempted murder. Nile also suggested that we should leave this mansion before any trouble came up. I completely agreed with him."

23 PM - However, we still asked Reiner to help us find Mikhail.

We entered hallway 1A. Nile and I went straight into the library and looked for Mikhail in every nook and corner of that room. When we exited Reiner was not there but soon he came out of the kitchen. When the three of us went back to the main hall we encountered Mikhail.

Succi and Jack entered the main hall as well. We told them about Reiner’s bold accusations. Jack, Mikhail, Nile and I decided to leave this place.

Nile and I pushed the trolley into the cargo section of Mikhail’s car nicely. Jack had already gone and was not there to help. After the trolley was placed inside the car, Nile and I entered Mikhail’s car and he drove off.

00 AM- All 3 of us entered a nearby bar.

2 AM- We got a little drunk. But Mikhail managed to bring both of us to our houses. My family members helped bring the trolley to my research room."

"Understandable, I still need the list of chemicals and trolley picture" said Salim.

"Of course" said George.
