THE FOURTH INVESTIGATION
(~SK. 24)



[Morning, Strangers! There's no sun shining, there're no birds singing, the threat of memory loss hangs in the air, and--oh.




That sure is a trail of blood in the D Deck hallway where the bedrooms are. But. I'm sure it's nothing, right?








Right??????!!?]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[ All of the medicine has been crushed to dust. ]

[voidseeing]

[And none of it has been used? Hmm.

He'll be taking this with him, along with that sword. Time to take a look around the rest of the room!]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Well. He'll see, first off, some splatters of blood on the cabinets where said medicine probably had to have come from.]

[voidseeing]

[Are these upper cabinets or lower cabinets-- about how high off the ground are we talking here? And what sort of volume of blood is it...]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Lower cabinet and on the floor. It's not a lot-most of it is faint.


A little too faint to be natural, actually...]

[voidseeing]

[Does it look like someone has attempted to clean it up in some fashion?]

[strangerpeople]

[Yes.]

[voidseeing]

[Photo time!

Anything else to see around here?]

[strangerpeople]

[Oh, yes.

There's something glinting in the trash.]

[voidseeing]

[Trash diving we go, then!]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[That sure is a vial in there, isn't it?]

[voidseeing]

[HMM don't mind him pocketing that. Will he be able to tell what is in it?]

[strangerpeople]

[Not specifically, since it's empty, but it looks like, uh.





Could be that this once held poison!]

[voidseeing]

[WOULD HE BE ABLE TO TELL WHAT KIND IF HE SNIFFED IT...]

[strangerpeople]

[It smells vaguely of almonds...maybe?]

[voidseeing]

[... so most likely cyanide, in other words. Definitely bringing this along with him.

OKAY, IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT HE HASN'T CHECKED...]

[strangerpeople]

[Well, Gai, your pick your poison: the bed clue first, or the floor one?]

[voidseeing]

[BED because we die like men...!]

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[ALL RIGHT.





There is clear blood splatter on the bed.]

[voidseeing]

[HIS CAMERA IS GETTING A WORKOUT TODAY okay which end of the bed are we talking here or is it sort of... all over the bed?]

[strangerpeople]

[It's...all over the bed, most of it concentrated in the corner closest to the door. Someone bled a lot here.






But that's nothing compared to the floor!]

[voidseeing]

[WE LOVE TO SEE IT except not. So what's up with the blood splatter on the floor...]

[strangerpeople]

[Well. There's a lot of blood on the floor, enough to make clear that whoever bled here? Died here. There's too much blood to refute this.



But that's not the crazy thing. You wanna know the crazy thing, Gai?]

[voidseeing]

[I MEAN HE PROBABLY DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW but. Sure, what's the crazy thing?

EVIDENCE

[strangerpeople]

[Psssst. C'mere. C'mere, Gai. I'm about to make your head explode.






Looking at the blood, it's clear that whoever bled here? Whoever clearly died here at this spot near the bed?


They got up and left the infirmary afterwards regardless.]
