THE SECOND INVESTIGATION

[The morning starts as...most mornings do. Quiet, calm. In space. Next to a jail.

That, however, changes when screams start to emanate from the entrance.]

RUN RUUUUN!!

AAAAAAAH!!

[Soon enough, droves of people are streaming out of the jail, panicking and screaming and in some cases fainting. They start jamming towards the station in a near-stampede, screeching.]

LOOSE! THEY'RE LOOSE!!

THE ANIMALS HAVE ESCAPED THE PEN!!

[...Oh dear.

Help?]

Comments

[strangerpeople]

[Vaguely, but its impossible to tell the shape or size. They are just blobs of water.]

[unwittingking]

[That sucks, but either way, it probably means one thing.

He'll walk through the area, looking in each of the stalls. Which one was used?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[The one where the bar of soap looks recently used and glistens in the light.

It seems to have been randomly chosen.]

[unwittingking]

[…yeah, which one it was is probably not actually important. For now he'll just take some photos of the soap and the sort of footprints. One he can't really take to the trial, the other he can't really reach, so better to just get proof that the two are important.

Now, what else can he find, just looking in this stall? Maybe some blood the killer didn't wash away completely?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, nothing else here.

Where would you like to look next, King?]

[unwittingking]

[Hmm...maybe look around the other stalls? Maybe a big clue was accidentally left in one of them?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope, nothing else in the stalls.]

[unwittingking]

[Okay, then...how about the towels? Any chance one was used, helping prove his theory of someone showering?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[There is a very damp towel that is hung near the sinks.]

[unwittingking]

[Awesome. Assuming it's low enough to the ground, he'll not only take a photo, but also grab it to bring it to the trial. Can't too careful, probably.

Now, anything else that could have a clue here? Toilets to hide something in, sink that's bloody, some...hand dryer that seems off...anything like that here?]

[strangerpeople]

[There is something in one of the sinks, actually. It's just not blood.]

[unwittingking]

[Alright, then he'll...uh...

Screw it. He'll just straight up climb up the side of the sink. Not like he could break it, probably.

What's in the sink?]

[strangerpeople]

[A bunch of wax. For some reason.]

[unwittingking]

[…like hot, melted, liquid wax, or wax that's solidified into a shell on part of the sink?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[More like wet, cloppy wax that's just kind of like sludge.]

[unwittingking]

[Gross. Yeah, he's not touching that.

Another click from his camera means another picture for the trial. Hopefully someone there will make sense of this stuff.

From this point, does it look like there's anything else to find?]

[strangerpeople]

[Nope! You're all set!]

[unwittingking]

[Awesome. He's gonna go cry a lot think about this somewhere else and wait for the trial to start, hoping it's not also a crime scene.]
