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?

[ Misora's too kind! Jin would probably appreciate the gesture. Since she's taking the hoodie, she'll be able to feel the key to room #3 in its pocket!

The bloodstains don't look random, no! They're on the same side of his body and there's a mostly clean edge where his chest and shoulder meet. The blood goes down further than that, but it doesn't cover his whole chest. It's on his upper half, not the lower. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Huh. Well she'll add that to her growing collection of dead people keys...(yay ???) Anything else in any other pockets?

And huh. That is... odd indeed. No bloodstains on his pants/shoes?]

[thecastle]

[ Nope! The only thing he had on him was Miyamura's room key.

And there are no bloodstains on his pants, hm. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[So far: an almost injury free Jin, blood on his sweatshirt and evidently nowhere else? Hrm. No blood on hie shoes either?

Alright, so she'll probably want to strip him down further before turning him onto his back because this lack of an obvious cause of death is bugging her, but first she'll check out his face a little more closely. Anything odd going on with his eyes or mouth when she tries to lift his eyelid/open his mouth?]

[thecastle]

[ Correct! No blood on his shoes either.

His face is a good place to start! There two things to see here, sadly earlier one of them was overshadowed by all that blood. It was startling, no? The one that will help her the most is: his lips are a light shade of blue. The second one... looking closely at his eyes, Misora will see he's wearing only one contact!

Its position has shifted so it's slightly out of place but at least it's still there. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[The blood was certainly... distracting to say the least! But alright. Blue lips, one contact lens... the latter makes her twitch. Apparently she has a loooong memory of B's antics. But wow they're probably never going to find that other contact lens, huh...

But let's see -- anything in his mouth? And are his fingernails similarly blue?]

[thecastle]

[ Even here she can't escape her memories of B. Tragic...

Hm, his mouth seems fine! And good instincts, yes! His fingernails are similarly blue. There's something else too. ]

[gyakusatsu]

[She deserves a long vacation and she will never get one, it seems....

what else is going on with his hands?]

[thecastle]

[ Looks like there's dirt under his nails! It doesn't look like the rich soil from the greenhouse and, other than that, his hands are completely clean.

Good job, Misora! There's nothing else to find here but if any clarifications are needed feel free to ask for them! ]

[gyakusatsu]

[Three clarifications please!

1. Does the dirt under his fingernails match the soil by the river?
2. Are there any traces of soil on the sweatshirt/on the rest of Jin's clothes - or is that too hard to tell b/c it might've just washed off in the river? and...
3. Since Misora will turn him over and checkk his back just to be thorough, is it safe to assume that the one bruise on his temple is the only thing to be found on his body?]

[thecastle]

[ 1. When she looks around, yes! She'll see the dirt from the river bed and bank matches what she can see under his fingernails. It's safe to say it came from this area.
2. The only other dirt on him came from the river and isn't relevant to the case.
3. Yes, you've got that right! The bruise on his temple is his only injury. ]
