So Mia grabs a boy off the street. Local assistant here, who hasn't really...done any detective work, but he's an observant little piece of shit. Let's go.
The door. That's a good place to start. Particularly because you know who doesn't want to get up and close with a dead body? This guy. So, we've got a few particulars to sort out about that. 1. How's that lock work? Does it lock on the inside, on the outside? Does it look like the thing's been messed with?
Once that's figured...MMmmm, no, he still doesn't want to look at that damn body! How about around the body instead? 2. Alex is looking for some blood-splatter! There's no way someone got shot in the head without some blood coming out the back. Is there anything on the chair? Behind the chair? 3. Follow-up, he'll follow his damn nose if he has to if there's none, blood's got a nice distinctive smell and he's persistent.
And, for kicks, let's take a look at that gun. 4. Has the thing been fired? How many times?
