I walked into the commentator cabin anxiously-I was to commentate the fifth annual Grand Horse race...

Among the more posh guests, I saw the Prince of Shangri-La, Mayor Hollis of New York, Isabella Santanelli of the mob, Cleopatra Green of the London Green Hand and Lolita Martinez, a famous Order of Socrates philosopher.

As I looked at the horses, I saw some fellow detectives mount them.

I sighed.

I wished something would happen.

Little did I know that it would...

I turned to Vulkie.

"Two murders in one day!" I exclaimed "So glad you arrived. And please don't insult Hollis. I am in the Order myself after all. I long to finally leave though, so wait until later if you wish to mock him."
"Sorry, being in the Brotherhood leaves a hate for other factions; I didn't mean it..." she mumbled "Sorry."

A third body was found. Crunchpatty was beaten severely. I looked the scene over and saw a small ring engraved with the words:
Don Marcel-Sant

"Santinelli's man,Marcel?" I replied to the words. "It could be possible,or a set-up" I replied. I also looked a bit annoyed about the "Hating the other factions"- reply. It had nothing to do with it. Mayor Hollis just needed some attention..

As I examined the crimescene for the second victim,I found a bloodied curved knife. Just the one that was used to kill animals ritually. "Serves him right" Ms. Santinelli said. "He was an animal" she replied to my comment of the knife.

"Ms. Santinelli,you and your man have to come with Sir William and me for a small interrogation."

She reluctantly went with us,but her man Marcel gave us the slip. "Hold,Sleuth Police" I replied and chased after Marcel.

"William,take care of Ms. Santinelli while I take care of this scumbag" I replied,not knowing that Ms. Santinelli send a man after me.

I chased Marcel,down the stairs and out on the streets of Shanghai. Just as he was getting in a rikshaw,the goon came out of the racetrack who Ms. Santinelli ordered to "follow me".

I jumped also in a rikshaw,paid the lad 20 pounds to follow the other rikshaw with Marcel in it and so we went,leaving the goon at the racetrack.

As we were peddling through the busy trafic in Shanghai,we went to the local harbour.

I saw a boat,called the "Santinelli Expresse". Marcel jumped on it,ordered the captain to start the engines and sail away to London.

As I jumped out of my rikshaw,shots were immediately fired at me. I took cover behind some wooden boxes. I heard the boat starting and sailing away. I carefully aimed,but came to the conclusion that it already was too far away.

"Damn you Marcel,I'll get you,whatever it takes" I shouted to him.

"Hahaha,you'll never get me" he replied and he took a sip of his drink as he watched me,while the boat was sailing away.

I looked around and around and there it was : My way of stopping him. The bridge!

I ran to the bridge,and carefully aimed.....

"Pang" my gun said and the bullet hit the captain in the arm,which made the boat unsteerable. It crashed into the wooden poles which were used to store small boats. I saw the boat,exploding and Marcel jumping off it,in the water.

As I fished Marcel Santinelli out of the water,I made a funny comment: "Lovely day to take a relaxing swim,eh?". I laughed in my head about it and grinned to him.

"You don't know who you are f*cking with" he replied and spit some water out of his mouth.

I tied his hands with some rope and hauled a rikshaw. And so,we went back to the racetrack...

Late, as usual... Why did I always have to be late to places? Apparently, I had gotten to the races too late to place my bet. And, also apparently, there was some kind of a fuss going on. I wanted to know what was going on, but some guy I had never seen in my life stopped me.

I didn't like the whole badge-flashing thing, but it was the only way. I flashed the badge quickly and gained access to the place.

I was trying to figure out where to start, when I saw Vulkie. Well, there was a good start. I went up to Vulkie and tapped her arm.

"Hey, kiddo. What's the fuss?", I asked, and waited for an answer.

I suddenly saw another clue...

BreitKat's drinking glass! I slapped myself and carefully took it to the Botsie Boots P.I. field office. BreitKat, Vulkie and I were in this particular agency. Fingerprints were all over it. Mine. Secret Squirrel's. BreitKat's. The last one was...

Suddenly, a detective stumbled in - into the glass - and pushed it over, reducing it to microscopical fragments. "THAT WAS THE ONLY CLUE WHICH COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS CASE!!" I yelled at poor Valentina D'Angeli.

Darn.

Valentina came towards me. I was shocked to see her at the racetracks. She usually didn't come to these events. It was nothing for her. But she saw the fuss going on here and so I told her everything. "We got the La Cosa Nostra dons here for interrogation. They seem to be the most usuable suspects we have on the moment"

And so,Valentina interrogated Ms. Santinelli and I interrogated Marcel Santinelli.

"So,Mr. Santinelli,it seems you quite have a bit of a record" as I pulled his file for me. "Smuggling,racketeering,murder. My my my,Mr. Santinelli. You don't seem to be so clean on this. So why did you murder those jockeys?" I asked him.

"I didn't kill them! Someone is framing me for them. You've got to believe me!" he screamed,in a desperate try to save his own *ss.

"Well,you ran away from me. That's not so nice of you.... I don't like chasing crooks,always makes me exercise..." I replied and gave him a "sigh"-look.

"You stay here,I will see what I can dig up more. We will continue this conversation later." I replied and went back towards Valentina and asked her what she came up with...

I was just about to answer Vulkie's question. I knew and liked Vulkie, and we had been on the same agency for a while.

But just as I had opened my mouth to start speaking, I heard something falling - or should I say crashing? - on the floor, and heard someone I had not been introduced to yelling at me.

'Oh, no', I thought to myself. 'I messed up. Again.'

So I handed Vulkie my notepad.

'Everything you can need by now is in here. Call me if there's anything else I can help you with. I'm gonna split before I mess up the case even more.'

With that and a quick kiss on my friend's cheek, I made my way off the scene.

Then, I took a sidelong glance at my fingerprinting paper. I noticed a smudge that hadn't been there before. I analysed it...

It was a smudged mix of not one, not two, but THREE finger prints, which had absorbed in the paper when the glass fell on it.

Fingerprints:
1. Cleopatra Green!
2. Lolita Marinez (where did she get such an extremely silly name?)!
3. Valentina D'Angeli???

But in theory, her fingerprints would be on top, unless... Unless the glass had spun in the air! Hermy, our loyal officer, usually made sure the office table was clean. However, not this time. I strained my eyes and saw...

SPECKS OF BLOOD!

It made a trail to the interview room, to Ms. Santanelli's body, to a nearby Ming va-

I paused. I moved back, checked Ms. Santanelli's dying body, dialled for an ambulance, and went over to Vulkie3 to check the interrogation results.

Vulkie started...

But before she spoke, I showed her the fifteenth name in the guest list:

'Donald Marcelle-Sant - Green Hand assassin'

"So we got the wrong guy?" she asked me
"Yup."

When we got to Marcelle-Sant's house, he was already dead. Some insider knew that we had found him out.

"Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted..." Vulkie said...

"I have discovered nothing from Marcel Santinelli. He claims to be innocent. It seems that way,as he begged for his life. I told him he needed to stay there,while we found out what could've happened." I said to Sir William.

"I'm going to pay a visit to Cleopatra Green,you are going to pay a small visit towards Lolita Marinez. I'm sure she would be willing to talk." I said to Sir William

And so we departed.


***********Cleopatra Green's House************

As I drove up towards her mansion in Shanghai,I saw the guards looking at me. "Whatcha staring at boys,I'm just visiting miss Green. It's a business appointment" I said to the guards and walked towards the entrance.

The butler opened the door and led me to a nervous Miss Green,who was already having her third sherry.

"Come in Detective,come in. Please. I'm a bit in a terrible state now. I do hope I can help you with something." Miss Green said towards me.

"Well,there is a matter of Marcelle-Sant. You see Miss Green,he works for you,right?" I asked. "Right" Miss Green replied.

"Well,we suspect he killed one of the jockeys. Seems he's dead,as we were about to interrogate him. So he couldn't have done it. And it seems somebody knew we would go to his place..." I said.

"I can't be of any assistance about that detective. I suggest you leave now. If you ever set one foot more here,you will be shot." Miss Green threathened.

"Don't forget that I served the Green Hand Miss Green. I know it's secrets and so does a friend of mine. Don't you dare threaten me into not coming here again. Because I will be back,be assured of that!" I yelled and angrily left the premises.

As I made my way back towards the racetrack,I saw Sir William just walking towards the entrance.

I pulled up the entrance,stepped out and yelled towards Sir William : "Found anything out yet?"

And so,he started to talk....
