The Story Begins

The Story Begins (Chapter 1) is the first fanmade case and is the first chapter in Sleeping Slums by Koishi.

Plot
The chapter opens up with an introduction of a man, by the name of Joel Sullivan, who seeks a job as an investigator. He eventually finds a place in a detective agency, Luxington Investigation Agency (LIA). Little did he know that what he is about to witness is beyond what he have thought.

Fast forwarding to January 10, Joel investigates a murder of Christina Rogers. She is found dead, lying in a pool of blood in the alleyways. The coroner, Cordelia Wright, introduces herself to Joel. She cuts to the chase by saying that Christina was stabbed through her heart, causing an immediate death. The way the wound was made identifies the killer as right-handed. She tells Joel to keep a close eye out for any knife.

Joel eventually finds the murder weapon, a kitchen knife, in a dumpter at the crime scene. The killer is unmasked to be the victim's husband, Damian Rogers. He is shipped off immediately for trial. A voice congratulates Joel and he is then transported back to the real world.

The voice is revealed to be the CEO of the agency, Trevor Crawfield. Trevor says that Joel did a fantastic job at catching the killer in the simulation, stating that he has the natural talents, and thus hires Joel into the agency. All the staff members congratulate him while both Trevor and Joel can do nothing but wait for his real test.
