Description

“Roses are red.
Violets are blue. I don’t know about you. But this crown doesn’t belong to you!”

In the early hours of May 6, 2023, the crime scene investigation team rushes to the White Palace Hotel, the site of the Miss Mandaue 2023 coronation. There, they discover the lifeless body of the newly crowned queen, Rebecca Marie Marquez-Perez, in a blood-soaked dressing room. As they investigate, a chilling message scrawled in red lipstick on the mirror hints at a sinister motive. With a silver-beaded pageant crown, a red wallet, and a bouquet of white roses as potential clues, the police identify six prime suspects. As public outcry grows and accusations fly, the pageant organization faces scrutiny and goes into hiding, leaving Rebecca’s murder shrouded in darkness.
