Class Trial #1

[King V]

This trial will be held for the deaths of Mario and Ai Enma, as the last victims found so far. The trial will go on fro 24 hours, if no conclusion is made in that time, the trial will be inconclusive and nobody will die. Investigation is allowed during trial time.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

There is very little time. We are down to 9 people, not counting Demigod Darius.

These nine people are
Myself, Pebble
Hatsune Miku
Bobby Fulright
Yue
Hinaichigo
Shiori
Iris
Roy
Nova

You all are probably wondering why I didnt include Dudley or Riri. That is because I just found both shredded in their rooms like Ravan and Siren.

We need to figure out which of us 9 killed Mario and Ai quickly as we will be in a very dangerous position if they killer evades us in this trial. If you have an alibi please go ahead and state it. The time of death is not determinable (at least with our current evidence) so I don't believe alibis will be terribly useful, but everything helps.

[Indrid Cold]

I suspect that the two victims were killed at very distant times from one another. The fact that the sheets found at the murder scene are both covered in blood implies that they were both touching the victims at one point. Now, the fact that one of the sheets have dust on them (notably the facedown side) I suspect that one of the victims has been there for potentially days longer. I suspect that Mario is the one who has been in the lab longest, as we have not seen him in days. Satori was recently seen, so I suspect that she was only recently placed there. Now, their wounds suggest a sharp object that is rather small and capable of stabbing and slashing, which is quite odd. Which of us is experienced enough to go toe to toe with those two, who were very good at the practice of battle? And with a *small blade*?. I wonder about how both were pursued, then attacked and dumped into a vat of acid

[Exusiai]

Okay, my theory... (so many doubts in it, though) is that Ai or Mario were killed upstairs in the extraction room, hence the fresh blood there, which I found a bit after 2:00PM, and at that time... the blood was fresh.
The killer could have killed either victim there, placed them on a bedsheet which they happened to carry since it is what? 0.5 in weight per bedsheet, because the blood was found in the third quarter, and the closest sheets are in the secomd quarter. Now, each bedsheet would definitely not be able to hold two bodies, but it is soaked in blood, meaning that they were transported for a while.
I believe the weapon was certainly not something just picked up from the floor, like a glass shard as seeing how precise the cut was. The wounds were shallow, meaning that it was by something small, so possibly... a needle or something small... Mmm, I can't recall any other objects, so any rememberance would be helpful.

Now, I am hoping I can present this suggestion in here rather than a whole theory since this is what I have came to so far.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

You both mention their cutting injuries, but have either of you hazarded a guess at the exact cause of death?

[Pokedude12]

"Hm... What a vexing crime...

But to answer your question, the cuts seem small and precise...

In the name of JUSTICE!!

The cut-making weapon is a form of knife!!

... Probably. But anyways! Discuss! I'll keep looking in the meantime when the game resumes!

[Exusiai]

"Well, it's pretty difficult to examine their bodies fully as they are soaked in acid, ehich even began sizzling my shoe after a few 'friendly prods.' Now, I believe I either found something interesting is that it could be a frame, or simply a fault of the killer. I had checked Yue as to see his inventory at the time, and while I didn't find much interesting besides that his current items add up to a total of 4.0. I had noticed... something on his hands.

If one were to view Yue's hands, then they would find blood dripping from them. I had also examined the bloody bedsheet by touching it, yet this had not given me as much of a stain on my hands as Yue had. I simply am stating an observation as I have yet to hear if Yue had investigated the scene of the crime before the body announcement."

[Indrid Cold]

I suppose that the cause of death was blood loss regarding that the sheets were soaked with blood

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

Ah, that could indeed be important. The blood has to have come from somewhere and it could very well have been the victims.

You bring up a good point, the bed sheets are soaked with blood, but think about they were most likely used for. Moving the victims to Laboratory area 2. Last I checked dragging someone on a bloody bedsheet leaves trails and these bedsheets are fairly thin. Based on my observations its unlikely they could soak up blood from all the cuts, especially the neck injuries, and not be leaving a bloody mess on everything they touched.

This leads me to believe that the victims were cut up after they perished, since with their heart being inactive less blood would flow. That way the blood on the sheets is controlled to a reasonable amount. But why try to control the blood?

So one could move the corpse into the acid vat without getting bloody after faking injuries of the cutting kind. All to hide the true cause of death.



The actual cause of death was visible if you examined the inside of the victims mouths!

Verbal Bullet - Poison

The tongues and throats of the victims on the side where swollen and black, proving they were poisoned. This had to have been done while alive, otherwise how would their dead cells react to the poison? The victims died to poison, the cuts were not involved in the final cause of death and are mere red herrings.

[Daiwa Scarlet]

Hmm?... trial... Well... I would like to add to that bullet as I found it from another source...
There was... a bottle with a lopsided cap within the cabinet. The poison is fast acting and kills in around 1.5 minutes... if you would like to know. I believe the application tool to be a knife or other sharp object with latter marks covering up the original...
The cabinet has scratch marks which leads me to believe that it had been lock picked before. I am not sure if there has been any key found, but this does potentially narrow the suspects. Would someone check whether it was possible to lock the cabinet without a key?..

I would also like to confirm that it is unlikely that the blankets were used to transport the body... or at least not with the cuts. The amount of blood would go through in seconds... I doubt the culprit would risk getting caught cleaning blood... especially when they already had a better method...

[V0ltage]

*Yue stands up and walks to the center of the room*


"Good morning everyone. Seeing as I was found in a room with the bodies, I'm aware some suspicion is on me. I'll do my best to prove otherwise."

"First of all: why I am not the killer. Proving myself innocent is actually quite easy. Lab 2's door was locked with me on the inside. I, however, had no key sigil on me, nor was there one found in the room's investigation. (I think? I was a bit out of it when you all were investigating.) I simply had no means of locking the door. It cannot be me."

"Now for the bodies. Seeing as I was locked in with them, I got first crack at investigating them, however I didn't think to check them for poison. I feel dumb after seeing that. Here's what I HAVE pieced together though:
1) They were both transported at the same time. The blood completely soaked my hands when I tried taking the bedsheets off them.
2) They were not moving when they were slashed. This backs up that they were poisoned and suggests they were then probably kept somewhere safe for a while.
3) There were no drag marks anywhere in the room outside, yet the blood pactically jumped into my hand when I touched the sheets. They were definitely slashed in Lab 2."

"One last thing I'd like to point out is I took whatever sigils I found on the bodies. I never had any intention of keeping those, but didn't want anybody else taking off with them. Of course, I planned on being awake when I was found, so. . ."

[Daiwa Scarlet]

Shiori yawns and looks around sleepily...
Yue, would you be so kind as to inform us on the situation surrounding your imprisonment? And what kind of inventory did they have before the rest got here? Had their rigor mortis set when you first discovered them?
Darius, can you explain the methods with which the lock on the cabinet can be opened? I assume lockpicking or the key would open it while leaving the lock intact while physical force would break it, if it is possible to force open at all.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

I would also like to inquire as to the state of affairs and what happened from Yue's point of view.

Because as it is you, Yue, are currently standing at the bottom of a mountain with an avalanche prepared to fall at the drop of a pebble. I want to see all the others show me their capabilities though, so lets make it a test game!

Who can rip the most holes in our dear friend Yue's defense? Go!


As to your statement Shiori, yes its possible they were moved via the sheets before the cuts were made. There are two possibilities as I see it. The cuts were made after death so there was minimal blood and the sheets were only used after the victim bled out some blood in another unknown location. It is more likely they were dragged to the scene uncut, but already dead, and then cut up to destroy evidence. Sheets get bloody as that happens, then the bodies get dropped into the vat.

[Daiwa Scarlet]

It would also be nice to have a time frame to go off of. Would you tell us how long you had been locked in here? What had you done while here?

[Pokedude12]

"N-now wait sec! In the name of JUSTICE!!

I'll have to argue in favor of our dear friend Yue!

Seeing that the door was locked (according to what's been said already), we either have a key or Key Sigil in play!

However, no one found such a thing in here despite the amount of searching done (I'm assuming that's the case anyway)! Furthermore, it doesn't look like there's a way to destroy such things in here! Yue even apparently got sigils from the bodies even though they were thrown into the acid pool! That means if a Key Sigil was used, it would've survived the acid! Furthermore, the victims' clothes survived the acid (unless I needed to check clothes specifically to find damages; but I'm assuming they've survived the bulk of the acid regardless. Otherwise, uh...), so an actual key would've survived that too (I'm assuming keys are made of metal here)! And there are no other ways to get rid of them here (to my knowledge)!

So clearly, the culprit is trying to frame Yue to obstruct JUSTICE!!

(I won't be around for the next several hours; but good luck in the meantime)
