the killings

started a few months back. an insignificant/innocent looking letter popped up at the mailbox of a certain mr. jones. the contents of the letter were a bit startling as scrawled on it in scarlet was the following

subject : mr. jones
death : day after tomorrow
place : lame duck pub
time : 7:32 p.m.
activity before death : drinking la morioso rum


mr. jones secretary nonchalantly disposed the letter in the dustbin and counted in her mind that this was the 31st death threat recieved after another false weather prediction. being a weather man was not a nice job and being the secretary of the head of a weather station was not a rewarding job either as she had realised.
she realised three days later that disposing letters containing death threats was also not a wise idea, during her testimony to the police.
the late mr. jones had passed away the previous day at 7:32 p.m. while visiting the lame duck pub. he had been poisoned, the poison was in the la morioso rum.
but who had killed him?
the killings had begun...
