    “No signs of coercing magic, but those could have vanished by themselves by now. From a mood point there was no depression, just annoyance. Doesn’t quite fit for a suicide.”
    Bobby looked to the ground, spotted the brass casing and frowned.
    “That’s odd.”

    “That colt model is a percussion model – i.e. no brass ammo – and besides, revolvers don’t expell casings anyhow. The bullet is likely a lead blob now without ballistics. The shot was close enough to leave powder residue over everything – both victim and perpetrator, so a wax test won’t get anybody anywhere. No scorch marks though as you’d expect from someone firing an old fashioned blackpowder weapon at close proximity.
    My guess is, someone shot him, panicked, took the museum piece and intends to rely on the local law being disinterested enough to do a thorough investigation.
    No idea how he locked the door. Maybe a hacker or a mage with a spirit at his disposal.
    I think it’s time to contact our employer and discuss the further terms of our employment.”
