Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Perfect Murder

March 29, 1990

Sitting at the living room I took a sip at my coffee and heaved a deep sigh, I never thought that the person who I had a lot in common with would actually be our enemy

I then heard something tapping on the window and looked over towards it to see a black raven and there was a small piece of paper tied on it's feet

I walked over and opened the window as I took the paper and stroked the raven's beak as a thank you as it left satisfied

Opening the paper I read it and I frowned as my face turned cold

[Your mission this time is to assassinate the heir of the Marquis family, I will only give you a week to complete this mission]

Reading this I stroked my temples and groaned, it has only been a week and there is already a new mission, fortunately my salary is high or else this are all worthless

Just thinking about it makes me tired I would instead prefer to soak in warm hot spring

Well, no wonder I present the sin of sloth since I'm lazy

As I burned the paper to leave no evidence I went back and sat as I continued to drink my coffee as if nothing happened

April 4, 1990

At a banquet of the Marquis family several famous aristocrats were invited to celebrate the heir of the family

I walked in and handed over the invitation letter that I stole from another invited aristocrat and entered the hallway and as I did I was met with countless people dressed in fancy clothes

A butler walked up to me and offered a wine and I gladly accepted it as I drank it

Whilst walking towards the food my eyes were keen and were able to find the heir of the Marquis immediately

Roberto Marquis was the name of the new heir and from the corner of my eyes I also saw detective Liam who I predicted will be present here

I lowered my head as to not be seen and waited until the end of the announcement

___

As soon as the Roberto left and went to his room I also left and went into the shadows as I followed behind Roberto silently.

___

Third person Pov

Liam saw a suspicious looking female following behind Roberto and his lips curled up into a smile as he said "There's the killer"

___

Back to my Pov

As soon as Roberto went inside his room I was stopped by the bodyguards that was standing at the door of his room

They asked who I was and what is my purpose but I just smiled as I crouched down and apologized as I said "Forgive me but I have no time right now" as I said that I grabbed two daggers underneath that was tied on my knees which were hidden by my long dress

"I'm afraid I'll have to kill you" I said as I raised a wicked smile

*****

As soon as Liam arrived he was met with a bloody scene as the two bodyguards were killed on the spot

Cussing Liam ran over and checked the pulse of the bodyguards but find no sign of being alive, the next moment he kicked open the door but saw a terrifying scene

Roberto was lying on the bed as his clothes were covered with his blood and his eyes were blindfolded

His neck has a red line and his hands and feet were tied

Liam clicked his tongue as he said "I was too late" as he stepped forward he paused as he leaned over and grabbed something from the top of the corpse

"A purple hyacinth?"

Bang!

With a loud "Bang!" the door was slammed open and a boy wearing a black suit entered as he saw the scene and covered his mouth, he then saw the purple hyacinth in Liam's hand as he stuttered and said "T- This…was this done by the Purple Hyacinth killer…or-"

'Are you the purple hyacinth yourself?'
