No Weapon Found The air, thick with the smell of iron A blood-soaked drawing Found under the body of a young man Depicting a church. The space around, seemingly undisturbed, no weapon found Time of death estimated at 12 pm News spread like wildfire Murder on one of our favourite beaches Time is a fault in finding the perpetrator Every minute searching for clues becomes tight A net slowing the officers The small rowboat might hold a clue They are warned that speedy actions will lead the investigation astray Detective James yelled across the office Someone bring that priest in for questioning!
