Iron Fic 4-5: Whodunnit?

Another dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets. Suddenly, footsteps, an alarm raised. A crime committed and the perp escaped. But not for long, because you catch criminals for a living.

*piano solo*

Crime dramas are stories about solving crimes through investigation, interrogation, logic and more than a little luck. Your challenge this week is to write a small mystery, a "Whodunnit". Some crime has been committed and your character is part of the investigation. You might completely fuse the source material with a police procedural or noir setting, or perhaps the characters are only evoking those tropes in their home setting.

Your character might be heading the investigation, be long-suffering assistant, be a bystander roped into helping or the criminal mastermind undermining the case. The crime itself could be a serious one, or the case of a stolen pudding. How serious you want to be is up to you.

Keywords this time are "noir" and "mystery". The challenge is made!

Seeing this challenge got me into gear to start writing a fic that I've been planning on.

Chapter One is in the HP Preview section here:

<a href='http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Fanfiction_Forum/index.php?showtopic=21577' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Of The Silver Light.</a>

It is a HP mystery.

A mystery puzzle is too complex in terms of plot for a four-hour challenge. I came up with like two-three ideas, but they were all way too complicated.

All that you had to do is have someone die and leave the killer unknown. Actually deciding the why, how, and who aren't important for a challenge like this.
