It was Carlos, my most reliable ally.

I looked over at Carlos and asked, “How are you holding up?”
“Fine,” Carlos replied, rubbing his arms. “I have to say, that thing was strong. It was almost too much. No wonder it was bold enough to commit murder.”
I clapped Carlos on the shoulder and said, “Thank you.”

Then, looking down at the artificial blood on his feet, I expressed my concern. “You might want to wash off that chicken blood before it dries and becomes hard to clean.”
“Right,” Carlos agreed and squatted down to clean it.
I turned to the patrol team and instructed, “Please clean up the broken wine bottle too, so no one accidentally steps on it.”
Caleb’s POV:
“Okay.”
A young man on patrol proceeded to clean up the broken pieces of the wine bottle.
I pulled a tissue from my pocket and handed it to Carlos, who was crouching on the ground.
After accepting it, Carlos began cleaning the chicken blood off himself and asked with curiosity, “Caleb, how did you come up with this method to catch the murderer? And I can’t believe it worked on our first attempt.”

I looked over at the murderer, who was being restrained on the ground by the patrol, and responded without emotion, “It was all thanks to Debra. It was her idea. She instructed me.”
“Debra?” Carlos, still wiping the blood from his shoes, stopped and appeared surprised.
The patrol team looked puzzled as well.
From their perspective, Debra had been incarcerated a few days prior, so they were baffled as to how she could have been involved.
“Yes.” I nodded.
I had seen how disheartened Debra was before. It was clear to me that the members of the Thorn Edge Pack did not fully trust her and were still wary of her due to her being considered a witch. They were concerned she might harm someone.
The patrol team’s overt doubts and suspicions a few days ago reflected their feelings.
Debra was the Luna of our pack, and it was crucial for me to alleviate the current tension so she could have a more peaceful life among the Thorn Edge Pack. This was not just a promise I made to Debra, but also a duty I held as her husband.
Thus, to enhance the pack’s view of Debra and to clear her name, I took the chance while explaining to Carlos to elaborate loudly, “Before she was taken away, she shared a crucial observation with me. She mentioned that the blood seemed to attract the murderer, and it was likely that the blood was the murderer’s food, given that all the victims had been drained of their blood.”
“I see.” Carlos finally understood. “No wonder you had me pretend to be drunk and fall over. The sight of blood would naturally draw out the murderer!”
I gave a slight nod and stated calmly, “Yes, and crucially, shortly after Elena was injured and fell in the forest, the murderer showed up again, which supported Debra’s theory.”
After thinking for a moment, Carlos nodded. “Oh, I remember you and your mother were there that day as well.”
