Trial 2 - John Paulo Augusto

[King V]

"I already discussed this in my first theory. You have access to a secret passageway, don't you, Albert? Prince Tubeppa's secret passage in her laboratory was mentioned in the previous trial. I also confirmed myself that the secret passage exists and is functional. And with 01 as an accomplice, all you would need is a minute to slip out unnoticed to hand off the syringe to 01 or leave it somewhere he would later find to place back at the infirmary."

[Grug]

"Well, seeing as Tubeppa spent her time in the lab, which also happens to be the entrance of said passageway, did you see me use the passageway my prince?"

[King V]

"Ok, ok... I've been accusing Albert for a while. I believe Kaedae is also a possible suspect, so I'll give her some attention."

"There is a possible way for Kaedae to have committed the murder. As I mentioned before, I heard Kaedae throw John out of her prince's room, this means she had an opportunity to stab John in the arm with a syringe, to deliver the killing blow. Kaedae also has access to a secret passage in Prince Carmilla's room to dispose of the syringe if she was working together with 01."

"Furthermore, John's testimony states that he was 'attacked' by a ghost. This could also mean that the ghost only lunged at him or tried to tackle him. Perhaps the ghost did not actually succeed in hurting John, and he had already been stabbed with a syringe much prior to this from Kaedae, but he didn't notice as he was being thrown out. 01 would have proceeded with destroying all of the evidence as usual, and Kaedae could have easily gotten away with the murder."

[Funny Valentine [Silentgod]]

"Impossible. I saw her have no syringe on her when she had thrown John out on my orders. We also would not be dumb enough to end his life in such an obvious way to implicate ourselves. Though, I do wish she had roughed him up a bit for daring to walk into our room and approach me... Besides, the whole point of kicking him out, beyond him invading personal space, was to discuss in private what to do next after the loss of one of our own. I wanted to find a way to even the playing field. But unfortunately the others were whining and crying too much about how it is too dangerous and that we need to build up our defenses. This went on for a while until finally I got bored of them. I then had Kaede do stuff in the room. You don't need the details of what I had her do. But she was essentially too busy to dispose of any non-existent syringe and she is currently in a no murder mind set anyway. The only time she left was near the end of the day. And by then, I am certain the nobody had already perished of a heart attack. But I will say I did not witness her use any secret passage to leave. Even then, I am certain she would never use it without my permission. All in all, Kaede is too much of a coward to commit this murder. And you are a moron for thinking she had the guts to do it."
