The demure, elegant female enters the beer garden; she walks with intent to a bench, and sits beside a gentleman. They order a drink, which she sips elegantly. A few moments later she leans into the male, there is a pop, and she kisses him sweetly on the cheek. She stands, and walks away as elegantly as she enters, placing, her empty glass on the tray by the exit.
An hour later, the waiter notices that the gentleman's drink has not been touched, and approaches him; the red patch that is visible on his shirt indicates he is dead.
Inspector Julie Ashton is sent to the scene. The wound is indicative of a long range shot, yet there is also gunshot residue, indicative of a close range shot.
The woman is described as elegant, aristocratic in her stance, and walk, but wearing a Camel coat on a warm summer's day, curious? She has long blonde hair partially covering her face, and the males noted she had a large bust, the females noted the coat, heavy make-up, and an odd walk.
The last person to see the victim can only be described as, an enigma, an illusionist!
