The votes are counted
The village people examined all the clues and deliberated amongst themselves. After much thoughtful interpretation of the RED HERRINGS they placed their votes on the bar list.
Rah was given the job of tallying them up.
He looked solemnly at Civman2000 and stated in his best Sherrif voice.
"You are TOAST!"
With that the villagers carried Civman down to the dock and tied civman up with chains and weights and then threw him into the river.
Content that the crime was solved everyone went home.
Well nearly everyone went home. One person started to go home then circled back to the Dock. This person smiled broadly and whistled a little tune and then pulled a list out of his pocket and ticked off two names. Two down already, thought the Mafia, I love this game.
The next morning Jonny and Reismark were half sober and were discusisng the Leirosa issue. Jonny admitted to his good friend that while he might be turning gay, it was only one man he fancied. Reismark told him that there is no shame in being gay. But then proceeded to walk to the bar to get their daily supply.
Leirosa waved as Reismark approached the bar and Jonny, who was following closely blushed. The two of them were suprised to find the bar locked, Rah had promised to keep the place running in skankys mempry.
They looked through the window and could see Rah sleeping on his favourite stool, head down on the bar. They pounded on the door and the window to try and wake him, but to no avail. Leirosa picked up his broom and smashed it into the window. Glass splinters flew everywhere. Reismark and Jonny looked at each other in surprise. But Leirosa was already entering the bar. Leirosa screamed as he touched Rah and Rah's body fell to the floor into the pool of blood under the stool.
The three of them the ran screaming from the bar to rouse the villagers.
All the remaining villagers were soon gathered outside the bar. The crowd didnt know who to trust. Ljube stepped to the front of the small gathering and addressed the villagers.
"My fellow citizens of Apolyonia. We have been hit by yet another foul and malicious killing. We all know that it is one of us here. One of our own is the dreaded killer. " He looked around the crowd hoping that their eyes would give them away, but no luck.
"I will take Whoha and Ljube and we will search the scene for clues to the killer. WE will leave no stone unturned."
With that the three of them entered the bar and began their search. Once again the killer had been thourough in covering his tracks. They examined rahs body and noticed that he appeared to have been hit by something heavy first prior to being cut open. They searched around for the heavy object but couldnt find anything likely. Ljube went out back and checked the garbage bins.
"Ah hah" he exlcaimed. He ran back to the others and displayed his findings. The accounts book of Skankys bar. It was a large leather bound journal that had blood down the binder. They opened the ledger and noticed immediatly that many pages from the last few weeks had been torn out.
"So," said Fishsticks," someone was trying to destroy the accounts book. Rah must have caught them then been attacked himself. This is obviously all about Skankys dealings. First Skanky dies and now Rah is killed in skankys bar and hit by someone destroying the acoount book."
The three looked at each other and realsied none of it made sense. Who would kill to destroy accounts records.
They left the bar and took the villagers upto the Mayors home where again they were interviewed.
Following the interview process the evidence , little as it was , was placed outside Whohas home and again the vilalgers were asked to vote.
