LET'S SOLVE THE CRIME!

In this crime scene CSI Gil Grissom has found two corpses:

A man with a dagger stabbed in his chest.

A woman with no violence trace, who is wearing an emerald necklace. A glass spilled on the floor, in which a bit of a reddish liquid still remains, can be seen next to her.

The reason is not clear for CSI Gil Grissom, since the necklace is really valuable but the murderer hasn't stolen it. Grissom decides to start investigating.

HELP HIM!
