The wording should be: After his bully is murdered, and abused teen must…
Otherwise, the order of events isn’t clear. When did he blackmail the bully? And how does the blackmailing affect the story?
Also, the time limit seems arbitrary – what makes it 48 hours and not 24 or 72?
As Nir says, the time frame is too arbitrary. It might take the police hours, days or weeks to trace online photos back to their source. There are too many factors at play. Furthermore, it is not clear whether the blackmailing crime helps or hurts the teenager. In the normal course of events, the person being blackmailed would be the suspect in the blackmailer’s murder, not the other way around. After all, if you are successfully blackmailing someone, you would want them to continue paying up. Hence, if the teen were found to have been blackmailing the bully, it might make the police less likely to think he was the murderer.
