Have you ever lost a friend? You never know what to do with yourself when you hear about it. This has happened to me quite recently. I'll tell you about it.
My name is Steven, and my best friend Kevin Smith was murdered last Friday at around 5am. The body was found in the dining room the next morning.
An autopsy was performed and the case was ruled a natural death. But Kevin was actually poisoned with Clostridium Botulinum, an undetectable poison.
His wife, Jenny, leaves every night for work until 6am. She thinks that the Butler had killed him, because they had an endless feud since as long as she could remember, or that it was a suicide, because Kevin had no enemies.
The Butler, however, suspects Jenny, because he remembers telling her about other women Kevin was seeing a few days ago. The Butler leaves at around 4am everyday and returns at 6pm.
