Marisol listened to the other two detectives. She wrote Ivan’s idea on the board and listened to Dorian’s following statement. She dint understand much of it. Names were thrown around that she didn’t know. Who was Oriena and Aria and why did they matter? The Wicked Truth sounded familiar, but Marisol didn’t know from where. Sounded like a hacker alias.
”I only understood about five words of what you said,” she said with a slight humorous twinkle in her eye. ”But the gist is why leave a corpse.” she added that to the board.
She looked at the board for a moment, her hand cupping her chin in thought. She was more inclined to agree with Dorian simply because it was unlikely that enough people would know enough about them to be able to control them. But Marisol didn’t want to dismiss it.
Marisol turned back to face the detectives. ”Maybe it wasn’t the irijaq’s intention to kill him at all. I mean a wolf doesn’t kill the whole flock of sheep. There need to be some left to procreate and make more. If a predator eats all the food, they can’t survive anymore. Which begs the question. How did they survive when they’re weren’t channelers? Do they feed on other things or perhaps go into some sort of stasis?” she chuckled. ”Perhaps that question is for another day. So instead of looking for more deaths that match the MO of irijaq, we need to be looking into more attacks that match that criteria. That is a possible answer to Ivan’s statement. As for why a corpse is left - is it possible the victim could have fought back and injured the irijaq. Perhaps it went to ground to recover? I may be way off base here, but it’s an idea.” she was learning a lot and the biggest lesson was how much she had left to learn.
