[King V]

You know what, I'm done with you, human. If pestering me is all you are capable of, then you're not worth the time to answer.

I will be presenting my findings next.

[Kai, Prince of V]

You've had ample time to do so, but you haven't. Now be a good little girl and answer questions without resistance, all right?

[King V]

Let's start with the murder weapon used in this case. The victim suffered three different kinds of wounds, a stab wound in the back, bruising around the neck, and bruising on the head. Given the size of the stab wound, it is likely that one of the wires was used. The bruising around the neck is similar, which might also be the cause of the 2 different wires found at the scene. The velcro around the neck was likely used to hide these wounds, making the cause of death seem more ambiguous. Thus we can infer that strangling by the wire is the most likely cause of death.

Wire is found only in the Server Room, so anyone who visited the Server Room is of suspect. Axel was tied up in the server room, thus we can narrow down the time of the culprit's visit. I believe only Raiden has come up as someone who visited the Server Room after I tied up Jin. I only used a single yard of wire to tie up Jin, thus the culprit must have acquired another yard of wire on their own. This makes Raiden the most likely suspect as he was the only one to visit the Server Room after Jin had been tied up, given that Axel was also tied up by Raiden. This explains why there were 2 sets of wire found at the scene.

[Kai, Prince of V]

Both of the wires were twisted together and used to stab Jin in the back. However, this doesn't rule out the possibility of someone preparing themselves with 2 yards of wire.

Whoever did it, what happened after Raiden played around with Jin goes as follows: Someone removed the bucket from Jin's head, repeatedly struck his head with a mop, strangled him with the wire, twisted the two wires together, stabbed him in the back, tied his neck with velcro and hid the mop in the Front Office.

If I recall correctly, when I entered the building, before I found Jin's body, I noticed you moving around, Nue. I wonder how you didn't notice his dead body before I did.

[Chatt]

Wait, wait, wait. All this info is well and good. But you've been singling out Nue the whole trial. Exactly ... How does this relate to Nue in any way?

Great, we now know HOW the murder was committed. But, it has NOTHING to do with Nue at all. Let me give you some good advice.

If you're trying to make a point, be sure to reinforce THAT point. Not throw out random facts. Got it memorized?

[Kai, Prince of V]

It could have been Raiden. He could have blindfolded Jin and put a bucket on his head, went after you and returned to kill him. But it would've been much less work to go after you first and then swiftly kill Jin.

When I entered the building, I noticed Nue moving around in proximity to the Supply Closet, and then I found Jin's dead body. That's extremely incriminating. What was that little girl doing there, wouldn't she have noticed Jin's dead body at all? Not to mention, the wounds on his head from the mop were made earlier than when he was stabbed. In fact, he was stabbed only minutes before I found his body. He was beaten up with the mop some time before. The dryness of the blood on the wounds is testament to that. The blood dripping freshly from his back, the stab would still bright red. Nue, it's only obvious that you killed him.

[King V]

Don't put me on the same level as you humans, pretty boy. I believe I've made it clear that the stab wound was NOT the cause of death. From what you are saying, the wounds on the head seem to be the most likely cause of death. Such wounds were caused earlier than the stab wound due the dryness of blood, correct? This would mean that the two sets of wounds were caused at different times.

You said you noticed me moving in proximity to the supply closet soon before the body was found? Did it ever occur to you that I found the body, then manipulated the crime scene afterwards? Of course you didn't, since you were so fixated on accusing me of murder. You didn't even bother to consider how many people it would take for a body discovery announcement to occur either, and instead, in your arrogance, assumed you were the sole person to have discovered the body and triggered the announcement.

Like I have stated before, the cause of death is most likely being strangled by a set of wires, or, like you have said, being beaten on the head by a mop. The stab wound, having been made at a different time, might as well be completely unrelated.

[Kai, Prince of V]

And manipulating a crime scene as well as failing to report a dead body to the rest of us is any less incriminating? Unless you are saying that you found Jin dead when you were there, that doesn't help you much. You should stop hiding things and say what you saw and did. Maybe you could use this time to actually try to defend yourself, be it truth or lies.

[King V]

OOC: To preserve my sanity, I'm going to leave this trial. Thank you so much for throwing relentless suspicion at me for an hour and a half, Vicky.

[Kai, Prince of V]

OOC: It's part of my character and it's how I do trials, you know that. You shouldn't be getting mad if you can defend yourself.

[Sesarim Ylesva]

(occ; nevermind)

[Chatt]

How about instead of making baseless accusations, we do something productive? Let's run a process of elimination on everyone that was in the game.

Me, Nue, Raiden, Saku, and Akito were the ONLY people in the game at the time.

I have an alibi of being knocked out

Saku is the victim.

Akito JUST joined the game at the time of murder.

This leaves Nue and Raiden. Now, I doubt Raiden could have committed the murder. Why? Because after I woke up, and made my way back to the front office.

Now, guess where Raiden was? In the front office. The only one I DIDN'T see there was you, Nue. Now, the significance of this is that as I went back to the front office, Saku was still ALIVE. There was no blood, and he was tied up. I remember even thinking that after I was untied, I would help Saku out. Akito went to do this instead, which is when the body was found.

Now, who doesn't have the alibi here? That would be you, Nue.

As of now, you are the one that doesn't have an alibi, and, due to our limited space, if you weren't in the front office, you had to have been very near the Supply Closet, where the victim was found. So, perhaps you could give us a VERY good excuse as to where you were? I certainly hope so, because the only suspect left ... is you.

[Hatsune Mystio]

Alright. It is time to get back to the matter at hand.

The contradiction in these stories may fall inside the bullets.

Has anybody uncovered anything?

[Kai, Prince of V]

There are a few more questions I'd like to ask.
Raiden, approximately how long after you put the bucket on Jin's head did you knock out and tie up Axel?
Approximately how long after you tied up Axel did you come to the Front Office?

Axel, approximately how long after you got tied up by Raiden did you find your way to me at the Front Office?

After setting Axel free, I found Jin's body ten minutes later.

And Nue, what were you doing during this time?
