Twelve Cardinals

[modern_truths]

Chemical reactions show that there was a great deal of blood, the wounds having most likely originated from a very...very strong blade. An axe, perhaps

...can I watch?

[modern_truths]

*looks up from spreading a green powder around the bodies*

...You want to watch?

[jollygoodform]

...[small, determined nod]

I think..I might've had a chat with who the killer might be. So...can I watch? I promise not to get in the way.

[modern_truths]

Yes, yes, of course. But first, please tell me more about this...chat. Who were you talking to?

[crete_goddess]

...You have an interesting profession, Constable.

I hope you're not scaring my young roommate, though very little unsettles him as it is.

[modern_truths]

I would not want to frighten him, Princess. My apologies...

*shifts uncomfortably*

Do you believe this Barry fellow killed them?

[crete_goddess]

It's quite all right, Constable, as he asked you to begin with.

[folds her arms, looking around the square]

It's a strong possibility..I have to say, sir, no one has gone to the lengths to find exactly who murderers are here. Most either outright say it, or no one ever knows.

..It's refreshing. A want of justice.

*taking his magnification spectacles out of his satchel*

I cannot imagine a world without justice. The very idea is ludicrous...and dangerous. Equality for all, punishment of the wicked, these are all needed for a proper and fair society.

*slips spectacles on*

If there was a way to bring at least a trace of law to this City, then I would gladly chase it. I was hoping that this would be a start.

Looking at the blood patterns tell you a lot about a killing. More than you'd think.

Sometimes I get these...hunches about these sorts of things. If you're interested in my help on the case, I'd be more than happy to assist you.

[modern_truths]

Hunches? Do you mean educated guesses or something...a bit more? Do elaborate.

[dark_passenger]

I was a forensics specialist for the police department back in my world.

[modern_truths]

Forensics?
