Take Responsibility.

And once the allotted time for investigating comes to a close, those elevator doors at the end of the first-floor corridor open up; the ride down is fast, smooth, and understandably tense as far as atmosphere goes. You're down to less than half of your original number. The doors slide open and the podium circle comes into view, standing stark against the black-walled courtroom and encircling that pit in the center; Misa and Aqua have joined the ranks of the deceased, photographs in greyscale watching the proceedings from their podiums draped in black. Of course and as always, the deceased aren't the only ones watching; the Kingmaker will make his presence known once everyone has settled at their podium, his voice sounding out through the room for all to hear. "Resilient has been taken from you. Maybe this time the guilty party will actually succeed at fulfilling Rule Seven, seeing as this is the sixth try and all. Whether they manage it is up to the rest of you." Thirteen Survivors remain. However many will be down by the end of the day is up to you.

Eide-san also pointed the place smelled of peroxide. The culprit most likely used it there. What I'm not sure is what for, because it doesn't seem to have been to damage electronics or clean wounds. If it was to clean the murder weapon I don't think they would have bothered to make so many false clues.

It wouldn't be possible for anyone here to guess the weapon just from looking at the wounds unless the weapon left distinctive wounds.

[Maybe he got too tangled in his words?]

What I mean to say is that the peroxide's use may be something vital to deduce in this case.

[amygdalae]

The wrench that Captain Eide found seems to be the most plausible thing right now as the weapon that was used, since that was in the restroom.

[And it wasn't rolling in blood like the other things.]

[goodforsomething]

What, do ya wanna smell everyone's hands now?

[sleepingkogoro]

I won't do such thing!

[If that's the plan get someone else to do it, thank you]

[ratingspoint]

...I think he meant we should figure out what it was used for, darling.

[notjustawriter]

You said her clothes were probably used to clean up the scene, right?

Do they smell of peroxide?

HEY MODS

[sleepingkogoro]

...that could be possible. I'm not sure if the smell of blood would mask it but it's worth a try.

Besides the restroom's air seems to indicate the peroxide was used in there, so unless Aqua's body was carried in there to clean it I don't think it ever had peroxide on it.

...but as I said, it is worth a try.

[May as well do that. This is gross]

[trustharder]

[...I. You.

What.



...O...kay we're just gonna smell Aqua's clothes apparently no they don't smell like peroxide and every single one of you needs to go to church

just

all of y'all need to let the lord into your hearts]

[sleepingkogoro]

No peroxide on the clothes. I better not have to do something like this ever again.

[Mouri kind of hates you for making him smell a dead nineteen year old's blood-covered clothes, Gabriel. Let this glare tell you that]

[amygdalae]

...thank you for checking for us, detective.

[It's okay Mouri... it was for solving the murder...]

[captainobnoxious]

[... Actually, this gives her an idea.

Like. Longshot of the day. But. She's gonna smell the wrench.

Though she's expecting just blood, yeah.]

[trustharder]

[Your expectations will not be dashed this day, Sigrun, that is a lot of blood.]

[captainobnoxious]

[Yeah, that is what she thought.

Ooookay. Now let's set it down so no one realizes she sniffed the probably murder weapon.]
