It is only through your hard work, unwavering Watson’s, that we were able to discover the truth behind this case. Rather than one killer, there were in fact three individuals after Jenna’s life. Additionally, there was one more individual involved in this case, one that will turn everything we know on its head…. First, let us reveal the truth behind the suspects.
Tiffiney Tse has been elected as next year’s President of Psi Chi at UCR… but she couldn’t stand the wait, and decided to take action. After careful recipe experimentation (no taste testing involved), she was the first person at the scene of the soon-to-be crime and placed poisoned (yet probably delicious) banana bread in the Psi Chi office for Jenna to eat!
Brandon Chao was the second suspect to arrive at the scene. After many cold evenings of walking to and from Psi Chi board meetings, Brandon decided to enact his revenge. He tampered with the freezer and AC settings of the Psi Chi office to make it a frozen wasteland, planning on turning Jenna into a human ice cube, just in time for Summer. I can only imagine the electricity bill the Psychology department had to foot for this plot.
Caitlan Tang, a long time friend of Jenna’s, was the third and final attempted murderer. She left the window in the Psi Chi office area open, then laid banana peels on the floor. A trap to make Jenna slip and fall out the window to her doom! And in a light bulb moment, she decided to shroud her plot in darkness by taking out the lights. Her motivation? Revenge for all of the times she was attacked with sports equipment by Jenna in their youth.
Justin Tran, despite being convicted, was in fact innocent. While his charm made him rather suspicious, he was merely a passerby who happened to get caught up in the excitement of the investigation. His only crime? A great sense of humor.
Their schemes and motivations have been revealed, but… none of those plans were what sent Jenna to the Shadow Realm. While they may have planned their crimes, they are technically not guilty since their work never came to fruition.
And now, to reveal the final key piece to the puzzle: Jenna is still alive, dun dun dun. After so many meetings, socials, and workshops with Jenna, it’s puzzling how none of us managed to discover that she was in fact alive, and not a spirit, apparition, or hallucination. Perhaps it was due to her Psi Chi powers that she managed to keep it under wraps for so long.
Using her Psi Chi senses, Jenna discovered that her life was in danger. In order to escape danger and discover who the nefarious knaves were, she concocted a plan to fake her own death and set all of Psi Chi on a quest to unravel the mystery. She arranged a fake body made of Krispy Kreme jelly donuts (don’t miss out next time we do a Krispy Kreme fundraiser!) to lie at the bottom of the Psychology building, before pushing the piano from the roof to seal the deal. She called me, bumbling Sherlock that I am, to ensure that a proper inspection of the clues would be undertaken.
And so the case has come to a close, with every loose end tied up…. except for the piano… Thank you to everyone who participated in this adventure with me, who was highlighted, and who helped vote for clues on Discord. It has been a thrilling chase, and may our time in Psi Chi continue to be filled with intrigue and excitement.
The End?
