Fate - Trial #1

[yaes]

"I 100% committed every single thing. Commited, not admitted. Is that clear enough for you my lost little lamb?"

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

"As I have admitted before, I have a kind of Temporal Sense and can determine how long certain things have been where they are."

"The murder occurred extremely closely with the gunshots. Based on my Temporal Sense, the gun was placed on the ground outside the room mere minutes prior to me finding it. I immediately examined the knife planted in Hagakure's chest and learned it too had only been there mere minutes."

"As such, the murder did occur in extremely close proximity to when the gunshots fired. Alibis for the murder must be for that time frame."

[John Dark Souls]

"Then why can't you repeat the single line of "I murdered Hagakure" like that?"

[yaes]

"Somehow admitting to murder is the most difficult thing in the world...



Fine, I'll try to word this as clearly as I possibly can so there are no doubts.

I, Emil Castagnier, stabbed Hagakure with the rusty knife using my very own hands, and made absolutely sure that he had died from it."

[King V]

"I knew it! This new person Emil is the culprit! He brought all the weapons here and committed the murder just like Kirigiri said! I was right all along!"

[John Dark Souls]

"S-sonna...... Sonna baka na......"
*gets bricked*

[King V]

"Hold it right there!"

"I saw what you just did, Emil, with my Hermit Arcana! The Hermit allows me to conduct investigations while the trial is happening, and I just saw Emil remove the knife from Hagakure's corpse and stab it into the corpse again! Your confession is a fraud, Emil, you simply took advantage of the latecomer investigation rule and altered the crime scene! Emil is no culprit, he is simply trying to lead us off track!"

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

"So, in summary. Emil claims he killed Hagakure and was behind everything."

"Togami calls him a liar and claims its a ruse."

"Girl A claims it was some person who can summon transparent weaponry."

"Satori is agreeing it was Emil."

"Kirigiri is for something like Emil doing it. I think..."

"Togami claims he saw Emil fake his part, but Emil was definitely there at the crime scene, because of him firing the revolver. So I don't see how a person at the murder scene minutes prior to the investigation can be late to the investigation."

"I don't think I can willingly choose to believe in transparent weaponry so that throws Girl A's theory out the window."

"Until someone actually gives me something solid, I have to stick with Occam's Razor and go with the simplest. I think it's Emil."

"Oh, and this trial is insane. Did I mention that?"

[yaes]

*watches as Fatogami's statement shatters as it leaves his mouth*

"How many more stupid theories am I going to have to listen to today? My confession is the absolute truth, and I have not lied about a single thing.

Every single one of you keeps going on with this "lead off track" and true course, but you never had one in the first place. I gave you all the right track, the truth.

You claim that you saw me do something through magical powers, and have nothing to show for it. Unless you have actual proof that my truths are worth less than your lies?

Here you all are, trying to deny someones admittance to guilt. *sigh*

[John Dark Souls]

*shakes head and returns to self*

"Emil-san, all you are doing right now is trying to force us to lynch you to end the trial! But, you cannot prove that you are the culprit and cannot even admit that you are the culprit. And that is more than enough proof that you are not the culprit! Why are you trying so much to make yourself the culprit? Is the true culprit somebody you want to cover for that much?"



"*deep breath* I should stop being led astray by all these statements and think back to beginning. First of all, the time frame for the murder. If we trust Nox-san's theory, that makes the alibis for that time still viable. Lets go through the alibis we can confirm: Me and Togami-san who spoke together in Furnace on the 3rd floor, next we have Isumi-san, Satori-san, Sailor-san and Nox-san who were in the 2nd Floor Hallway. These 6 shouldn't be the culprit. The people who do not have any alibi or have not mentioned having one are: Deadpool-san, Emil-san, Mirai-san and Kirigiri-san, please tell me if I forgot somebody or speak up if you have some alibi. Can anyone tell me where you have seen them last before the murder? Until there is any trustworthy alibi, I will call all of you except Emil-san suspects. I saw Emil-san in the Assembly Room with his Axe and Deadpool-san in the 1st Floor Hallway some time before the Mastermind announcement about new arrivals while I was helping Kirigiri-san who collapsed in Assembly Room on the way to her Room where she should have been all the way until the murder. Thus, I have no idea where last suspect, Mirai-san was at the time of murder. I ask that everyone present in the trial present the testimonies and the alibis."

[King V]

"While you being the culprit doesn't go against any of my previous points, Emil, I find it highly suspicious that you would admit to your crime. Even if you wished to escape from the mansion and murdered someone, to openly admit your crime in trial must mean you have some ulterior motive. It's like you're trying to play with this game directly, something I feel The Mastermind is responsible for. Therefore, I will not accept your claim that you are the culprit."

"I was in my player room when the gunshots were fired, I believe Nox and my Assistant saw me exit my room shortly afterwards. I will not deny that this is not a valid alibi, however, I believe you failed to mention someone among your list of suspects, Assistant."

"I propose that Rin is the culprit. She was assisted by an accomplice among the new players and was supplied with the weapons necessary to commit the murder. She did so, then quickly went into hiding before people began rushing to the crime scene, then she came out of hiding and mingled with the group to not seem suspicious. The fact that Rin has not appeared in trial must mean she wants to avoid a direct confrontation, and is further proof of her suspicion."

[yaes]

"I can't prove it's me besides the fact that I've already admitted to being the culprit, just as you can't prove it isn't me. Perhaps the mastermind would let me kill another person in this trial in front of everyone just to prove I'm a murderer? Don't worry, you'd be at the top of my list.

Now, unless the mastermind complies or wishes something else, you can all go back to discussing your beloved theories that have gotten you all so far."

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"So who were the ones that discovered the body? There was Reiten who yelled to everyone and Nox who claimed to have seen it minutes after the scene was created... But were they the ones to trigger the trial?"

[Exusiai]

"Isumi, it's probably not significant, but I didn't alert anyone about the body, since the gunshots were suspicious enough.
Well, thinking about the time necessary for the culprit to hide or run way in the few minutes following the gunshots, then there are only a few places the culprit could have been- like the pla-player rooms, right?
Since the player rooms are close to each other, then wouldn't it take about a minute, maybe even less, to get from Hagakure's room to another player's room?
And as Girl A- err- sorry, I'm not very good with names,but she said that around the time of the first blackout, Kirigiri entered through the stone archway and collapsed afterwards. Although I don't know how long it took to bring Kirigiri back to her room, this probably transpired before the second blackout...
I-If I recall correctly, the times in between the second blackout and the gunshots were about an hour, more or less.
This would be enough time for someone to recover, r-right? Well, at least when a certain person knocked me out, it didn't take long for me to wake up.

So, here's my th-theory of the events: According to Girl A, Hakagure ran to his room several hours before the gunshots were heard. Later, Girl A and Kirigiri went to the first floor, and Girl A saw Kirigiri pass through the stone archway before the la-latter collapsed. We can't be sure if Kirigiri actually fell unconscious or if she had faked it in order for Girl A to leave her nearby. Next, is that blank period of time between the first blackout and the gunshots, which definitely spans over an hour and a half. In that time, Kirigiri could have woken up, entered the stone archway again, and locate the rusty revolver and knife. When she returned back to the player rooms, she would have simply just shot the door to Hagakure's room, drop the revolver, entered the room, and stabbed him. Other people would take at least a minute to arrive to the scene, allowing enough time for Kirigiri to wipe off any specks of blood and rush to her own room."

[Deleted]

"So the culprit went outside where we came from took an old revolver to break the lock of the door and a knife to stab poor Hakagure then to be quick as it will take time to go upstairs and make it look like they were with the others, the culprit most likely went into their rooms or perhaps went outside the mansion where we came from so if the culprit went outside from where we came from the culprit would be able to avoid the trial which fits the missing person who is not here. Kirigiri fits the first going outside then acting all tired gotta fall over giving her the chance to take a revolver and a knife then come back and kill Hakagure then get back into their room playing tired all over again or perhaps all this fainting is a LIE!!"

"As for accomplices Girl A would be a perfect one as she was Kirigiri's Assistant as she said she went with her outside from where we came from which means she could've helped kirigiri find weapons then took her back here and went to togami insuring that togami wouldn't go down to his room and also deadpool could be too since he turned a blind eye when the culprit was coming going to the victim's room."

"If I had to support Emil then hey TOGAMIII what is that HERMIT THING!!!? Supernatural agencies cannot be used as a detective technique. "
