DICE Trial #1

[The Viscount]

"Tch. Your statements still don't help you, but let's see if Ms. Ayame's observations do help."


"If Ayame's observations clear you, then I will back up, and Light Yagami will become the prime suspect. However, it still stands. The police had their eyes on you, and you needed to eliminate all of the police that caught you in some deed. That is, if you are the culprit."

[The Viscount]

"Stocke, let me ask you. Has the mayor known your real name?"


"Keima Katsuragi is a very close advisor to the mayor, and it would be very easy for him to get your name from him. However, I don't see why it's necessary. Just because the reporter mentioned people beating police doesn't mean it was done to frame people. In fact, those people are the people we have had eyes on least this whole trial, are they not?


"It stands. The report is irrelevant. I don't think the killer needed to know your real name, nor that the killer needed to attempt to frame anybody specific through the reports."

Stocke where do you live? tell us your real job what is it? why don't you tell us about you ? you did enter here with a fake name didn't you? how can we know that you are telling the truth since you were never honest with your name to begin with?

[Ravan]

The mayor is informed of my name, he is the one that hired me after all.

I highly doubt he would reveal my name to the person he assigned me to tail. The issue here is that the report knew my name when I have only revealed it to two people. I am known as Stocke and rightly so by Emna and Light, and Ernst is what Katsuragi knew me as. If Katsuragi wrote the report, then he would have referred to myself as Ernst unless he received outside information. The issue with that is that my employer would not reveal my identity for aforementioned reasons, and that Light did not know my name until after the riots. This would mean that our dear police chief would have had contact with the city advisor after he was guilty of arson and causing the riots, and did not bring him in as he was ordered to by the mayor.

[The Viscount]

Oh, and before I go, for people continuing to post, according to Sea, when Keima took the cup, he took it by pinching the rim of it, so I couldn't tell.

[2:03:10 AM] Daedalus: He used his right hand to take the cup

[2:03:23 AM] Daedalus: The rest is up to you all, for a few hours at least

(Since Daedalus intended us to use his message in the trial, I took the liberty of posting it up here. Sorry for crappy formatting.)


"...Keima, you do know that you're doing nothing for yourself. Take your crime like a man and just show us what happens when you grab the cup like a normal person."

[Yuni Shingyouji]

Miku looks around at everyone one by one. All the chaos, all the information.
Suddenly, her head starts to ring. It rings so loud, and she falls to the ground. Grasping her head with both hands tightly, pressuring her head, she winces on the ground in pain.
Seconds pass, and the pain slowly subsides. Her head is filled with the words of everyone, and the words said in the room.
All this information, all this talking, all these people, this situation.. It was all too much for her brain at this time, as a recovering Amnesiac, it was tough on her memory.


She gasps and opens her eyes, and begins to breathe heavily. She then thinks, thinks hard.


Guy with 2 names, news was a lie and used his real name..
Guy interviewed her, yet is the chief of police...
Murder happened in next door apartment with trial to changing rooms, yet her apartment has some wet substance all over and apparently the home of the murderer..
Suspect as another interviewer...
Another interviewer is the strange world domination man... Who's apparently jobless.....
Who is everyone...
Who's lying..
This..




Despair.




This despair hurts.. 
One person in this room is dangerous and killed 4 police officers.
But why is there so many people that are so suspicious? Do people WANT to be blamed? Is DICE giving people that much despair?


No, I can believe in my hope. My hope will tell me the answer.
First things first, everyone is lying about something.
Nobody is honest. Nobody but me.
Everyone is suspicious because everyone is keeping secrets.
Do not let that distract me. Look past the lies... Find the hope...


Lying to me about an interview...
Framing others...
Asking me personal questions.......


Is it Light, Keima, or another...?
Who.. is it?
Does the victim even live at the right house..?
Who is... despair?


"Both suspects are avoiding holding the drinking cup properly. However, it is quite possible for both fists to be similar size.
Are you absolutely positive that the drinking cup size is exact on? As people might make mistakes, it's possible that the cup might fit Keima's hand, and he's scared of such an outcome when he truly didn't do anything. This will shift all blame towards him and a final decision, when it very well could fight Lights as well.
I say that we forget about the whole measurement thing unless ALL people take one, I will gladly take a cup now. If you have anything cold to drink, I will gladly take as many sips as needed.
Second, cups are not the best way to solve it.
First, we need to come clean. However, we can't prove much, as I can't trust you all with your lack of honesty.
Light. Why did you interview me?
I need a reasoning if you are the chief of police.
Second, I can not fully believe this Stocke person. I want proof that Light is the Chief of Police, let me see your badge.
Third. Viscount, you are suspicious.
I would like to hear your full alibi, not your motive. But where you were at 6pm yesterday.
Fourth.
Celeste.
Your bullet about Keima's house seems extremely strange. Do you have the ability to create bullets? Others have investigated and followed Keima home. Why have they never discovered the bullet? Why would a bullet exist about someone's home? And if so, why would you randomly frame someone further?
With the amount of people trying to mess up the trial, I will say.
Most of this trial is people covering up and changing blame for fun.
Look past the lies.

[The Viscount]

"Here's my problem, Mystio. As I am generally what you people would call a "loner," I do not have an alibi. In fact, all of my times meeting you were under... special circumstances, might I say? Anyways, as I do not have a solid alibi, I also cannot prove my innocence. But I will stress it again.


"At 6 PM, on the night of the murder, I was in my apartment, doing nothing, as I had no reason to leave. In fact, I told you the exact same thing earlier. I even told you my exact reason for not leaving my home. But, unless you can believe me, I will remain suspicious."

[Ravan]

I believe that out of everybody else, you yourself are the most suspicious one here, Yagami Light. After checking that odd news report again, I've realised that there is no possible way that Katsuragi could have written it. It was instead made by you yourself, Yagami Light. Allow me to break it apart, piece by piece.

First, you begin by identifying Yuuji Kazami. That would be this raven-haired fellow that both you and I have chased before, and we both failed to capture him for smuggling weapons illegally. You even followed him to the school, as did I. This is a crucial point for another person mentioned in this so-called report, I'll bring it up later.

Afterwards, you bring up myself, Stocke. You supposedly have footage of myself stealing documents when I have never stolen any documents. I also have every right to examine your documents, as approved by the mayor himself.

Another person you bring up is Sova Underskott, who has been staring at you for a while now. Earlier last night, I discovered a mob of approximately 20 officers searching for Sova and wanting to bring her in due to "vandalism". You then bring up a rather curious point. You mention something that sounds so absurd, but it's completely incorrect. You bring up trashing the school's courtyard with bananas. The funny thing is, I arrived at the school before you did in pursuit of Yuuji Kazami. It was there that I saw somebody else litter the courtyard with bananas, Underskott was merely a victim of this as well.

Why do you have all these false accusations here, Light? What was your motive behind slandering all of us with that report?

It was to draw away suspicion and cast it upon us instead. There is nobody else that could have aired this report other than yourself, Light. How do you plead?

(gotta include this one song)

[Daiwa Scarlet]

Umm... I would ask... the ones at the front desks of the apartments to identify the people who have seen the list of room for other in the building. Though... I guess there is another way to figure out the room numbers as well...

[Deleted]

*takes out badge

First I'd like to say miku I have never worked as an interviewer and I never interviewed you.

second the water leads from outside the pool to apartment 3-2 is what you said right miku and I have seen keima in sector 3 on 5th street at morning once and I saw him again entering apartment 3-2 at afternoon but you could say around 5- 5:30pm on another day also since the water lead to apartment 3-2 we should ask the receptionist have I ever entered that apartment? Though I never entered.
I’d like to ask you when I asked my men to take you to the police station and question you of what you saw in the crime scene you ran away which was totally unexpected why you would run away.

Are we ignoring an evidence or what? You can't just ignore it if the water did lead to apartment 3-2.

And now stocke I have never worked with you until the mayor asked us to work together which was after the riot. Also the man you mentioned who was shipping illegal weapons is not yuuji because I wasn't able to identify him and he also came from the chopper after it landed when actually yuuji a high school student appeared before the chopper has arrived and left then so yuuji isn't the criminal although I have a footage of him infiltrating the police station attacking 3 cops and me , knocking three of them out and running away after I fought with him when I was at work around 4:30 pm which was after I saw you getting beaten by cops for reasons I do not know , I got injured after I fought with yuuji he stabbed me with a knife after he ran away I had myself bandaged and I had awakened these three unconscious cops I stayed at the police station for quite a while and I have hard evidence that will be presented to the judge specifically if necessary to prove my alibi I returned to my apartment at around 12am-1pm when I reached my apartment the local news announced a report about 4 cops murdered so I decided to enter my room then I left and started investigating I saw miku so i asked my cops to bring her to the station for questioning but she ran away....

I would like you to consider these individuals as suspects:

First is miku as she ran away after I tried to bring her to the police station for questioning I also have heard that she has amnesia so we can’t expect her to tell us the truth as she is able to tell us she doesn’t remember she could lie just like any human.

Second is sova underskott as she has a history of violence and she herself admitted that she fought a cop then ran away she also tackled me when I was trying to capture a criminal and then knocked me out enabling the criminal to successfully escape, and I wonder why she is violent towards cops?
As for the news announcement which accuses sova as the person who threw bananas in the school’s courtyard I have nothing to do with it since I haven’t seen her nor did I hear that she did it.

Third is yuuji kazami I highly doubt he is the killer as he too was in a bad state after fighting me and my policemen but he did have flash bombs which he could have used against these 4 policemen which enables him to knockout people quickly and easily.
As for the news announcement I had merely alerted my cops from yuuji kazami nothing more.

Fourth is masuno he doesn’t have an alibi so who knows what he was doing we should consider every situation of what he might have been doing he also does live in apartment 3-2.

Fifth and lastly is KEIMA KATSURAGI this person is different this guy is on a whole different level not only has he been giving unexpected orders and such I consider him as a dangerous person with an evil mind since he was the person who planned a rallying in front of the school but never showed up it looks like he was expecting a riot I had reported him to the mayor and the mayor told me that stocke was investigating him but he suggested that keima needs more surveillance and so this would refer to my police officers, also in the news announcement it seems that he is the person who blew the school I do not know if it’s true as I was not there but it is highly possible.

also i should point out that the killer doesn't necessary have to be living in these apartments not saying that the killer isn't living in these apartments but there''s a possibility .

As for you stocke, please everyone in my department knows that you are stocke and that you were checking through our documents illegally entering our offices I cannot tell you how as I am not allowed to tell you everything although I don’t have to tell you, I could give a report to the judge that tells him everything instead.
Also you did not answer me stocke you avoid my questions and make the mayor as your excuse, where do you live? why don’t you start talking about yourself

I would like these two individuals Yuuji kazami and Sova underskott to be penalized and pay a fine for attacking our cops and definitely not obeying the law and attacking the station this is meant to yuuji.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

I can confirm that Sova was not the one who threw the bananas. I had arrived at school early and saw the beginnings of a scene that day and waiting by the entrance. Sova assaulted me during that time with a surprise tackle. We fought a bit and while we were fighting a new person arrived. If I remember correctly that person was carrying a bag of bananas and a PSP. At that point I knocked out Sova with a good punch but was finished off by our banana friend. Then I woke up to a banana under my foot and a rock flying at my face. Then their were nurses and I don't remember much after that.

[yaes]

「You're all forgetting someone... The true culprit to this crime...」

「A certain pet store owner does not have an alibi for the time the murder occurred. How do I know this? Well then, explain to me how someone who has slept through the entire night, can then be found sleeping on the counter-top of her own store for hours during the day?! Fiddlesticks I say!」

「This person meticulously planned the murder of these four cops who were just trying to do their job, to uphold peace throughout the city. And she decided to murder them in cold blood!」

「U-CHAN, I ACCUSE YOU!」

[The Viscount]

(On phone, so less format this time.)

*The Viscount IMMEDIATELY rises once again from his seated position, eyes on Light Yagami and an urgent look on his face.*

"Light Yagami. You are the only one who could have been responsible for the news report. The. Only. One.

"Now, listen, everyone! Recently, I did report something to someone. That is, I reported a crime to the police. And I did not report this crime to anybody else, especially not a slanderous group of newsmen.

"Light Yagami, you have just cast a doubt over yourseld, a huge one and an irreversable one. I only told the police about what happened, and it was to be on the news. Likewise, this whole trial, you have been fighting to blame others, and using the news report, the one you created, to do so.

"Light Yagami, I ask that you present irrevocable proof that you did not commit this crime. Because, I know of motive enough for you to commit it. If the chief of police is caught committing a crime, for example, all witnesses must be eliminated, lest the word come out.

"Light Yagami, unless you can prove yourself right now... Let this trial truly begin."

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

So.... wait... Are we accusing someone of murder or slanderous news? Last I checked those were two different crimes and you are connecting the two based on a "IT WAS TO FRAME SOMEONE." Couldn't it have just been, you know, slanderous news to harm the reputation of the enemies of the police in general?

[Ravan]

... Will you not give up, Light? You're only making things worse for yourself as time goes on. You have the right to remain silent, as everything you say can and will be used against you. Somewhat like what I am about to do right now.

You never specify that you saw Katsuragi enter that apartment by the time the crime must have been done, namely at 6 PM. If the receptionist there was the same for every single day and somehow recalled you out of all the people that entered the apartment buildings, I would be quite surprised as well. I also wonder how you had never gone to check up on Katsuragi when it was clearly one of the top priorities of the police to get a handle on him.

If anything, your rant about not identifying Yuuji at that time doesn't mean a thing. You met him afterwards and this does indeed confirm that you would have a reason to want to slander him. If you couldn't identify him after he attacked the police station when you have documents pertaining specifically to high schoolers, I'd be shocked. Also, we already discussed the lack of more bruising on the officers. It's most likely that they were all picked off in a surprise attack, perhaps one by one. You could have lured them and asked them to speak with you for a moment. One at a time even, pass it off as yourself rewarding them to get them to wait their turn.

I'm surprised you didn't include 'Miku' in your report as well, but I believe that what she did came after you made it, or else she too would have been slandered.

You're only digging your grave further by explaining the circumstances in which you met these individuals from the report and how you would have reason to get even with them. You are lying to me when you say that you have nothing to do with that announcement. I saw you in that schoolyard on that day, you arrived after a call for the police was made, and by the time you got there, Sova must have awoken from being unconscious from the bananas. Adell can also confirm that it wasn't Sova who spread the bananas around. You are the only one who mistook that scene as Sova flinging around bananas.

Just mentioning more on Yuuji is really not helping your case, if anything, that would clear him of suspicion. The officers were authorised to use force to keep people indoors, were they not? They would have been on their guard after seeing him. The same does not apply to you, as you have the authority to be walking around.

The Viscount does indeed not have an alibi, but when working with a crime, one should assume that someone suspicious would have done it, rather than someone who has absolutely nothing to do with the crime as far as we know. It's like how Yuuji just pointed the finger at u-chan. You're doing the exact same thing right now by pointing the finger at the Viscount.

You label Keima Katsuragi. This would make sense to an extent, but there's something that bothers me. Every single officer must have had orders to bring him to justice after the riots. There is no way the officers would not be on guard after seeing him. So do tell me why the bodies are lacking when it comes to bruises? Though I do agree that he is suspicious by avoiding Daedalus' inspection, his situation can mostly be explained compared to yours.

The killer doesn't necessarily have to live in the apartments, but it does make it a lot more likely if they do. And what do you know, you happen to live in the apartment where it all went down. You attempted to deflect suspicion onto Katsuragi by going to his apartment, as well as slander the rest of us as to make it so your actions would be miniscule in comparison.

As for myself, again, only yourself and Emna were aware that I was named Stocke. If I absolutely had to bring up a third, it would be a Mr. Wane, but he had nothing to do with this crime. If I was illegally entering, why did none of the officers outside stop me? Why did Emna give me express permission to use police documents to fulfill my investigation?

This trial is meant for the murder of the four officers, not for your petty grudges against Sova or Yuuji. If you must bring it up, bring it up after everything here is said and done.

I am under no obligation to speak a word regarding myself. If you believe my private life is somehow relevant to this crime, prove it. I will not answer any of your questions until then, as the burden of proof is not upon myself, but yourself.
