==Chapter Four==
-I desperately need you help, miss Clucky, said Deena.
Arlette listened carefully what the desperate inspector said. Every single track has been followed for Mrs Carlton's murder, and all of them were proved to be false, the whackiest and the most likely alike.
-Hmm. I've already thought about this case. Miss Carlton's innocence has sadly been proven. She would be the perfect suspect.
-The assassin is undoubtedly very bright. He provided two false tracks to follow. The only problem was that unexpected botanist.You see, I need you since possible witnesses would rather talk to you than to the police. Moreover, I'm overwhelmed with work. I already have to solve a case of embezzling in the SPA. The ideal culprit was Max Racket, but at the time, he was in a small town in France, called Orgueil, or something like this.
-Mmmh. Who are the other suspects?
-There are some people who work at the spa, like [[Renee William-Brown]], [[Penny Pincher]] or the mayor's husband... Oh and there was also Holly Greenwood's husband, [[Oliver Greenwood|Oliver]].
-You wanna take a bet? asked suddently Arlette. I write the name of my prime suspect on this paper, and you open it when you solved the case. If I was right, you owe me £6. If I wasn't, I owe you £6.
-Well, that's interesting. At least it takes me out of the routine. I have to go, now.
The inspector Tex took the envelope and went out, and Arlette wondered about her first visit. She decided to question Sofia's neighbors first. She took her hat and her gloves, and went out.
==Chapter Five==
Arlette's first visit was for the local cougar Kat Hunter. Whe, she arrived, she was screaming at the little newspaper delivery girl who just nastily send the newpaper on her cat.
-Out of my sight you dirty little pest! Next time you throw the paper on my little Rondoudou, I'm gonna knock you out with a shovel, Dee!
She turned around and noticed Arlette.
-Oh, you're miss Arlette Clucky? My [[Buck Green|Buck]] told me that you're that detective everyone talks about. I'm sorry about this shouting. Is it in French that Désirée means desired? Because this Desiree is really undesirable. She intentionally throws the newspaper in the worse place, like in a puddle or in flower parterres. Please, do come in! Make yourself at home.
Arlette crossed the door. The house wasn't that big, but appeared to be comfortable. She then saw Katherine Hunter's boyfriend, and Arlette (who wasn't that much younger than Miss Hunter) envied the cougar. His tan skin, huge smile and black hair along with his youth made him very attractive. He greeted Arlette and said nothing else. Katherine was obviously the one that was going to talk.
-I suppose that you want me to talk about that gruesome murder. I won't mince: I'm convinced that the murder is Sofia Carlton. She have herited lots of money thanks to her mother's death.
-She has an alibi.
-Twaddle! Do you believe those nonsenses? This incredible luck does only happen in novels. I'm certain that Matthew Smith is in the know.
-That's highly improbable. Matthew never came to Twinbrook, lived in Riverblossom Hills and never left it, while Sofia rarely get out of town in fear of straying in a place without a mall. Or at least, that's what Mollie says.
Mollie indeed didn't carry Sofia in her heart.
-Moreover, she continued, there was not a single mention of Matthew Smith anywhere in Sofia's or Pixie's house.
-What? And you believe this? shouted Kat mockingly. I saw him. Last month. He was walking in the wealthy neighborhood.
-Are you sure? asked Arlette, incredulous.
She didn't imagine that nice [[Matthew Smith]] as a murderer or an accomplice.
-If I wasn't sure of it, I woudn't tell you. If you want to, you can ask the Sargeants. Those two know everything about the town.
Ten minutes later, Arlette moved toward the Sargeant's home, amazed by what she just heard. As a matter of fact, no one could prove that Matthew never came to Twinbrook. But she couldn't believe it.
She arrived near the three house that belonged respectively to the Sargeants, 3 geeky guy, that went on a three-month trip to China and an elderly, sneaky author, [[Anna-Liza Riddle]]. In the latter's attic, Arlette distinctly saw a telescope aimed at the neighborhood. From this point, Miss Riddle could see anything, except the Ivy Hill Graveyard, located behind the house, on a hill. She appeared to be spying on everyone, and she might have seen something.
Arlette decided to pay her a visit, but no one answered when she knocked at the door. This piqued Arlette curiosity, and she went to the french window on the left side of the house. What she saw through it made her skin crawl.
