Detective X's Journal

Questioning F’s Friends:

1.      H

- 19 years old

- Music student

- Attempted to form a band with F

Thoughts on F:

            - “Braggy” – always bragged about how good she was and how she could go big. Also refused to be in a band with H, “My talent is not just for some band.”

When told, “So you have a motive to kill her,” H quickly defended herself. “I have a future ahead of me and I don’t wanna ruin it for her. Besides, my band without her is just starting to get noticed.”

I asked, “Is there anyone else who feels hate towards her, too?” She said, “She’s hated in our class. She kept degrading our classmates. I guess only us didn’t choose to stay away from her. She’s a bit tolerable sometimes. Some also went with her just because of her talent. Well, we all needed to pass the subject.”

So, they were using her for good grades.

2.      R

- 21 years old

- very close friends with F, despite her attitude towards her

“I stayed because even though she was very mean, she’s still a friend.”

Asked, “How mean was she?”

She answered, “Oh, every word she said was not very nice. She wasn’t really the type who’d support you when you wanted something. I tried playing the drums and she said I was hopeless and my playing was awful. We tried calling her out but she just never listened. She thought she was superior to all of us.”

3.      Y

- 20 years old

- Also attempted to ask F to join his band, but as usual, she refused

I asked, “How did you feel about it?”

Y: Didn’t take it personally. It’s just how she was. Plus, I knew I couldn’t force people to join my band. So I was also considering going solo.

Other thoughts that might help the case?

Y: Hmmm... Our friend, Z, always said she could rot in hell. But I doubt he would actually kill her.

Why so?

Y: Because he had feelings for her. She always helped him and even though he thought he was competent, there was once this time when F motivated him.

4.      Z

- 22 years old

- Had romantic feelings for F

Did she know you loved her?

Z: Yes, but I got rejected. Nevertheless, we chose to continue being friends. Although somehow, her head became bigger when she knew.

How did you feel about it?

Z: Are you accusing me of murdering her? What about the other victim I never knew?

F was hated by her class. And even her friends all have motives.

Questioning F’s family:

What I noticed:

            Her mother (J) did not seem to be mourning. She still despised F for running away. “That ungrateful brat.” While her father, M, had tears in the corner of his eyes while saying, “We didn’t know anything about her since she left. I wish we could’ve.”
