Dangan Ronpa XXVII - Chapter 3 - Of Insects and Arachnids

[Chemist1422]

If no one has accounted for the “thud”, that could have been the murder, right?

Did anyone investigate around the victim’s room?

[UzayAltay]

Okay, let's think about which room may be the murder scene.

Not:
Storage
Art gallery
Kitchen
Probably casino
Library
What others???



Also, wait, did people visited entrance but hadn't seen body of our employer?

That is... suspicious. But not related to the topic at hand.

[Chemist1422]

Hold on. Erika, I’ve got a question for you. In your alibi, you said you were expecting to find a body A6. Why is that?

[UzayAltay]

the chairs in the dining room did have blunt parts, but... i checked the floor, the doors, everything. no signs of a murder there.

also i was at the main entrance for A5 and A6, and nope.

[UzayAltay]

So, that makes it 7.
This leaves 4 rooms except employer rooms, right? Pool, Lab, garden and bar.
I remember few, if not all, of them being visited by people.

[UzayAltay]

(PS-assume all are colored)

[Ezradekezra]

Results for things people asked me about:

- The wrinkling on the clothing seems like it's from normal use
- There is no blood on the head aside from the bruising

[LetitiaWilson]

- The wrinkling on the clothing seems like it's from normal use

Frost looks even more smug than usual.

[UzayAltay]

Can you check if there is any dirt at the clothes?

[Ezradekezra]

- No unusual material on the clothing.

[TheGreatFurudoErika]

...Ignoring the wrinkles, I know you've smelled the bruise, but what about the body itself? Does it smell of anything other than death?

[Ezradekezra]

- No unusual smell.

[UzayAltay]

Okay, what I think is as following: given that we have no witness of Azazel, it is likelier he was killed at earlier rather than later.
I don't think it is garden, because although it is clean in general, some dirt would stick to the clothes of him, one way or another.

About lack of smell, it seems to point pool more than other two, as pools generally smell more nothing compared two other two.



(@Ezra, can you check shape of wound/s?)

[TheGreatFurudoErika]

About lack of smell, it seems to point pool more than other two, as pools generally smell more nothing compared two other two.

I'm not sure where you got that from. The pools I've gone to all reeked of chlorine.

I haven't checked that pool myself, but usually pools don't smell chlorine heavily, in contrast pools smelling chlorine shows something may be wrong in disinfection of the pool.

On the other hand, lab and bar does smell chemicals and alcohol heavily in general.

Sorry about my absence. Here's my alibi.

During the day, I visited the laboratory. There were three areas for chemistry, biology, and physics. there's not much to note here, except for the fact that the physic's area only had a table with a newton's cradle on it. Though, there were a lot of mystery substances here. I labeled them as poison just in case someone thinks of eating them. There was also some broken glass from a cell of sorts.

Afterwards, I visited the storage room and took an inventory check. There were four boxes. The first box had two sets of sculpting tools, one painting canvas, a bucket of red paint, two sketchbooks, a pack of pencils, and two ballpoint pens. In the second box, there were two bottles of fine wine, a bag of chocolate gold coins, an empty checklist, and a lion emblem. The third box only had a VHS tape in it. The last box had a pair of pliers, gardening shears, scuba gear, two flashlights, and a sapphire ring.

When 6:00 PM came, I decided it wasn't quite time to wrap up the day yet. Instead of going to sleep, I visited the entrance hall to check if the museum was locked. I also checked the emergency exits, but, they had also been locked.
After an hour of trying to get the emergency doors to open, I decided to talk to one of the senior staff, Gail, about the locked emergency exit doors. After I wrapped up my explanation to Gail, Beyza walked in right before the clock struck 8:00 PM. It was at this time that Gail suddenly pulled a gun on us.
Beyza quickly snatched the gun from Gail, but started shooting up the casino's slot machines! Right as Lateria drunkly walks in, Gail manages to snatch the gun back from Beyza. Gail was >this< close from shooting Beyza. What a frightening experience.
I quickly left the room before things escalated further and went to the Garden. It was quite an amazing sight. Though, I was slightly upset when I saw that some flowers had been cut. While wandering around, I heard chopping sounds, and soon discovered that it was coming from Xiao, who had almost toppled a tree!
After making sure that the tree didn't fall on anyone after it went down, I questioned Xiao about why they were hitting a tree. However, they left before answering my question.
At 12:00 PM, I decided that I should get some sleep to be prepared for the next day. But when I woke up... Well, you know.

[Ezradekezra]

It seems like the bruise is shaped like a big purple ellipsis

Gail scoffs. I’ll have you know I’d never pull a gun on a potential customer. The double roulette revolver compartment would’ve popped open by itself. That is, if your tale of events is really the truth. Micah elbows Gail, and ae shrugs. What? I’m a neutral party here. I’m not confirming or denying any alibis.

[watchme1]

I was in the same area as Frost near the end of the night but didn t hear any thuds either.

Any idea what could be the murder weapon seeing as it was some min of injury on the back of their neck.

[TheGreatFurudoErika]

This is important.

To the following people (those in bold), please try to re-remember your alibis because there are some inconsistencies that need to be taken care of:


- This is more of a clarification from myself. I claimed have been alone in the storage A1, but after a bit of thinking I do actually remember seeing Frost there.
Xaio claims to have seen me in the kitchen A2, but I saw no one. I will tell you if I did see them in a minute.

- Lateria says the only person she saw was Beyza upon entering the casino A3. Industria, however, claims to have been there at the time too and even saw Lateria enter. Lateria, please try to remember if you did see Industria after all.

- According to Beyza, she was in the casino with Gail. Yet there were three other people in the casino (John, Lateria, Frost) and neither of these three saw Beyza, and Beyza didn't see them. Are you four sure this is the case?

- Lateria said she left the casino A5 and went to the storage, where she found John. John did not mention anyone else in his alibi. In fact, he said Lateria entered the storage the next action, A6. John, are you confident about this?

- Again Beyza claims to have seen both Lateria and Frost in the casino in the latter half of A5. She also claims to have stayed in the casino A6 with Frost.
Yet not only Lateria said she was elsewhere at the time, Beyza was not once mentioned in Frost's alibi.
The following action (A6) it's the same: Beyza was injected by Gail in the casino but Frost didn't see her.

- I want an explanation from Xaio too. Bloody says he saw you pop in the main entrance for a second during A6, yet you never mentioned this. Care to explain?


I believe that is all I need. This is for the sake of avoiding misunderstandings (and making a proper spreadsheet).

Hold on. Erika, I’ve got a question for you. In your alibi, you said you were expecting to find a body A6. Why is that?

Wherever the detective goes, crime is sure to follow. I half-expected to stumble upon one.

[watchme1]

Correction. Between 11:45pm - 12am I ended up in the entrance hallway and felt tired before heading straight to my room. I stand that I did pass by the casino and saw Forst doing something in there probably between 11:15-11:45pm. It seems I went further than I anticipated.

[Ezradekezra]

- According to Beyza, she was in the casino with Gail. Yet there were three other people in the casino (John, Lateria, Frost) and neither of these three saw Beyza, and Beyza didn't see them. Are you four sure this is the case?

I thought that Beyza had left the casino shortly before Frost and I got there. At any rate, I didn't see her.

- Lateria said she left the casino A5 and went to the storage, where she found John. John did not mention anyone else in his alibi. In fact, he said Lateria entered the storage the next action, A6. John, are you confident about this?

(Upon closer inspection it appears that I may have misread my PMs slightly and Lateria was also in the storage room A5.)

[TheGreatFurudoErika]

- Xaio claims to have seen me in the kitchen A2, but I saw no one. I will tell you if I did see them in a minute.

I now remember Xaio entered the kitchen when I took my knife.
