fifth investigation

[thecastle]

Many are on edge—this is a fact that no one would dare challenge. The motive had hit a lot of people harder than the one previous, and there are more than a few of you who would consider someone acting as a blessing more than anything. It still doesn't help in keeping thoughts of concern far away, as no one is eager about the thought of a comrade dying. Then, there is the reality that there would be the upcoming trial as well. However, in the end, nothing can be done to make any of this easy, and all of you must take whatever may come.

Now, who will be the first to venture outward into the halls? Undoubtedly, something must have occurred. It would be unfortunate if it didn't, no?

[Small pieces of stuff are convenient evidence to carry. Better examine it! What is it?]

[irrationalities]

[Okay, but were the bandages bloodied at all? It's been in water, but if there are any stains...

As for the slit, what direction is it angled in? Diagonally downwards to the right? Something else?]

[gyakusatsu]

{Misora will take Jin's feet, but looking over at Tiki before she lift up:]

I'll send Mahiro back to help you with him in a minute, alright? Don't attempt to move him by yourself, Tiki.

[Turning back to Mahiro, she nods and lifts Jin's legs up out of the water.]

[thecastle]

[ He'll notcie that upon opening the tarp that it'll show a bit of blood on one of the edges. Of course, since he's opening up the tarp, he probably, by default unfolds the thing as well. If he does, he'll find that the middle of the tarp is wet. Weird, huh?

Though, even with all the weirdness, he wouldn't be exactly done with the tarp just yet, because there's other stuff going on here. ]

[thecastle]

[ There's at most a thin slit where the wound was, not much else.

Annd... yup! Diagonally downwards to the right! ]

[thecastle]

[ They are! It's a small piece of undyed cloth. There's nothing too descript about it, but it actually like it might have been part of a hem due to how dense it is. ]

[thecastle]

[ He'll find himself an old-fashioned razor! It has such a lovely wooden handle. He may also notice that it's slightly wet, though clean.

Good job, Jansen! \o/ ]

[godinsolitude]

[Wetness and blood.... well, that's a morbid recipe. Did someone try to wash it, or was it used to-- hmmm...

What else is going on here?]

[gyakusatsu]

If they're already in rigor... they must've been like this for a while.

[There's no godly reason to say anything further, but when she does break their grip she mutters a soft sorry under her breath.

She'll examine the hoodie a little closer though. Are there any holes in the material (or injuries on Jin's chest) that would account for those two bloody patches?]

[thecastle]

[ He'll notice that on the dry side, there's a bit of dirt still clinging to it, but beyond that, nothing else!

Good job here, Ayumu! \o\ ]

AREA CLEAR

[thecastle]

[notimmortal]

[And he'll go ahead and grab that, taking care to actually grab at it with the loose part of his sleeve rather than touching it. Since it's wet and clean, probably has little evidence on it, but better safe than sorry. And if there's nothing else to find, he's gonna go back to his room and grab some paper and make a quick rough sketch of the water stuffs to bring to the trial.]

[irrationalities]

[Great??? Surely this information will be useful someday. But now, he'll look at the bandages. Traces of blood y/n?]

[fedorascout]

[Alright, undyed cloth, most likely from the sewing room. Kizakura takes it and looks around for anything else that seems out of place. For example, any blood or dirt or anything that may have stained this place]

[thecastle]

[ There are not! When removing the hood from Jin's head she'll see there aren't any signs of him bleeding; there absolutely no cuts and no scrapes anywhere on him. The only injury she'll find on his head is a bruise near his temple.

His chest is the same way, minus the bruise. There are no cuts, scrapes, or other injuries that could be the source of the blood. And no bruise either. ]

[irrationalities]

[Right, here they go. It's not too far of a distance and between the both of them it shouldn't be hard to get Jin's body back on terra firma. Once that's done, Mahiro doesn't actually need a reminder to go retrieve Miyamura's body.

When he reaches Tiki, he speaks up.]

Get out of here and let us handle it. Go hang out with your buddies or something.

[thecastle]

[ On the bandage, there's at most a thin slit that matches the size and shape of the injury. And since he's looking at the bandage twice for extra thoroughness, he'll see that one of the ends is frayed. ]

[aumygoddess]

[ A slight nod. What sort of bag, if it's important at all?

Barring that, anything else out of place? ]

[irrationalities]

[Well that sure is weird! Guess he'll pocket this bandage.

Okay, onto the rest of the body. Maybe he'll check out Miyamura's face - or rather, his closed eyes. Are they as blue as he remembers them being?!]

[thecastle]

[ No blood or dirt, but there sure something broken and wooden on the floor. It's actually pretty hard to miss, but considering Fire-chan is beautiful that probably explains it. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[... Huh. Which temple is the bruise on - left or right? And is it correct to assume the skin over the bruise is still closed/intact to indicate there wasn't any bleeding from the head?

As for the two blood stains on the hoodie, roughly how big are they?]

[thecastle]

[ Mahiro... leave staring deeply into Miyamura's eyes to Jin. There's nothing there for you to find. ]

[thecastle]

[ There's nothing about the bag that's important but it's probably worth noting that the rest of the clothes in it are Jin's, and that they're folded neatly.

As for the rest, there's nothing else in the room that's out of place, it's pretty neat. But it would be a mistake to not check the bathroom, right? ]

[fedorascout]

[More evidence, alright. So the culprit may have intended to burn that...perhaps? It's worth checking]

[presomnia]

[nnnGNNGHHHGHGHHH she'll get out of Mahiro's way for body-carrying but. but. she doesn't want to just leave and give up?]

If there's anything else to find over here, I can help look...

[corpses are a bad time but she wants to be good and helpful, this is terrible, murdergames are the worst]
