The one thing that confused Weirdlock Jones was that he believed there should be a second victim. Now that Atani knew what the one body looked like, she split up with the detective to search the rest of the area for another potential body. She had sincerely hoped there would only be one, but upon seeing a hand sticking out from behind a bush, any hope she might have had was crushed. The victim laid in a pool of blood stemming from their neck, and their face was bloodied from slash marks around the mouth.
"I found another!" she called to the detective and whoever else was working on the scene. Weirdlock Jones rushed over and examined the corpse with Atani. Together, they found the wounds were identical, and they each were covered in sets of fingerprints. Both victims also had the marks of the White Star gang. Evidently, the kill was characteristic of another gang by the name of the Black Dragons.
By the second victim's side was a crumpled note. After opening it and flattening it out, Atani was able to see the image of an Ouroboros drawn on it.
"Hey... Take a look at this." She handed the note to the detective who furrowed his brows in concern. He thanked Atani for her help, and went to talk with the local law enforcement. They were both paid for their work today, but this case was far from over.
