[Kurama hesitates for a moment before speaking up, glancing at Akira next to him. But the evidence needs to be addressed no matter what effect it will have.
So he takes a sip of his tea, breathes, and speaks, eyes going cold and hard.]
I examined Katsuki-san's body. The cause of death was actually the same, but not hasty at all. It was very professionally done. A neat slice, opening both carotids without puncturing the trachea.
I suspect he wasn't able to resist well by that point, however. It looks like his head was badly gashed and his spine broken by impact with the floor before his throat was cut.
There were cuts up and down his arms, however. also made by a knife. I think before he fell from the stairs, he was trying to use his arms to defend himself from his attacker.
There were some oddities that concern me, however. Foremost being that I found blood inside his shoe. It looked like it came off of his foot, but his foot was uninjured.
