First Case

When Merlin arrived on the scene, he began looking over the scene to see what happened, a body shriveled up and completely devoid of life, with stab wounds all over the body.

Suddenly a detective’s car pulled up next to the scene of the crime and out stepped Detective David Carpenter. Merlin stood and stared as he approached. “Thanks for meeting me here, I called forensics in as this case is a bit odd to say the least. As you could probably tell by the body.”

Merlin mesmerized by the uncanny likeness, his appearance being exactly the same as he did years ago.

David snaps his fingers to get Merlin to focus. “Are you listening, or are you deaf?

Merlin snapped out of it “I’m sorry I was just thinking… So this body clearly shows signs of a struggle by the markings that can be found around the ankles and wrists it seems they were strapped down and with the incision markings it shows a distinct pattern, Whatever was done to this individual, it was clearly someone who wanted this person’s blood.”

David raises and eyebrow “How do you know they needed blood?”

Merlin smirks “it’s obvious, the body is missing all of it’s blood. Like it’s been drained of it.”

David snares “well no need to be a smart-ass about it, I’ll call it in, we need get this body on ice."
