Sixth Deduction [Voice;backdated to May 7]

May 10, 2011 17:52

I was told once that no one here cared about law enforcement or justice. Regardless, I need to speak to whoever considers themselves in charge of such a thing. I have a murder to report.

[Locked to Hattori 60%]
Hattori, meet me at Marshall. I'm at the crime scene.
[Locked]

*hattori, seeking information, and then a murder happened, the investigation begins, *marco, on the scene, there is only one truth, murder, *kresnik

[Not fashionably late this time.]

I'm here, Kudo.

[He'll be inspecting the blood surrounding the body of a boy not much older than he appears to be. He doesn't look up, but he speaks in a flat voice as Hattori enters the room.]

The victim's name is Robin Duval. Time of death was approximately twenty minutes ago. Cause of death was most likely exsanguination through these wounds on his neck and arm.

[That kid.

He glanced at the message.]

You don't suppose this Tatsumi guy might be the prime suspect do you? [Despite the vigorous message, it was far too suspicious.]

[Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 17:44:13 UTC

There is a high possibility. Something seemed strange about his facial expressions while he was writing. A strange reluctance that didn't match the urgency of his hand's movements.

[He still hasn't turned to look away from the body.]

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 18:01:09 UTC

I noticed that when I was tellin' him ta stop. [He didn't. He couldn't.]

Alien Hand Syndrome is likely.

There is also the possibility that the attacker threatened him. He kept writing until the moment of his death.

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 18:13:06 UTC

I consider that too - [but what would the threat be? There was no way he could have survived if he didn't seek medical attention. He would have died either way.]

How well did ya know him?

Re: [Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 18:19:23 UTC

I spoke to him several times. Both here and in the other Discedo. Like I said, his name was Robin. He was mute and communicated primarily through the text function of the communicators and writing in a notebook. Apart from that he seemed like a normal boy. Quiet. Thoughtful. He was interested in detective work.

I checked for cameras and listening devices already. If it was a threat, the culprit didn't bother monitoring him.

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 18:31:33 UTC

But if th' culprit threatened him, it could'a been harmin' a close friend. Then he wouldn't hafta monitor him, an' Robin wouldn't have any idea if he was tellin' th' truth or not.

Re: [Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 18:35:31 UTC

He was close friends with another child named Luke. He never mentioned who his guardians were here.

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 18:44:16 UTC

An' th' wounds. The culprit is tryin' ta mimic a vampire by th' looks of it. Most th' people here prol'ly fell fer it.

Re: [Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 18:47:03 UTC

Aaa, from the detail in the wounds, this was obviously a deliberate attempt to mimic such a story. It would reinforce the popular belief of monsters in the city.

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 19:00:34 UTC

That seems ta be th' case. We should figger out who this Tastumi guy is. It's our best lead.

Re: [Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 19:07:53 UTC

I haven't heard that name before. Our best bet is checking with some of the long-time residents.

[Action] westdetective May 11 2011, 19:33:24 UTC

Right. Anythin' else I should be aware of?

Re: [Action] modernholmes May 11 2011, 19:55:15 UTC

I don't have to tell you to be careful.
