Fifth Investigation

[grimgrinningghosts]

[You wake up and find out that your bff necklace from Randy in pieces. Any relief that might have come from the loss of this painful gift is overshadowed by a simple fact: someone is probably dead now.

There’s no point trying to be optimistic. At this point you’re probably well aware that nothing good could possibly happen on a Friday.

Do you want to investigate?]

[Somewhere Belle cries in horror.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Time for some body touching. What's he gonna find, poison symptoms or a really bad fall?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Strangely enough, Kit's skin is pretty dang clear for the most part. There's almost no signs of bruises or cuts on the body.

... However, I put emphasis on "almost" because there is something that might tip Lekmet off to how he died.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[He's gonna take a closer look at the skin. Maybe he's pricked a finger and gone sleeping beauty]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are some nasty bruises around Kit's neck.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Was it caused by a pair of hands or some kind of rope burn?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It looks like it came from a pair of hands.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Oh boy, the killer must've had their work cut out for him. He's gonna compare with his hand-hooves-

How big might the hands or bruises be?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Average adult human sized.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[That rules out the kids and teens, at least. Is there anything else on or around the body to note?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Kit's face is a deep shade of blue now. No prizes if you guess how that happened.

... Also there is something weird with his hands.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Zooms in on his hands. Is there something on them or is the posture off?]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There are some small, mostly healed cuts on his fingers.]

[not_over_yet]

[ The casino-distraction for once was quickly dealt with, woah. Library time!

Lekmet's got the body, so is there anything else notable in the area? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[As mentioned before, the room is a huge mess. Would you like to take a closer look at the mess first?]

[not_over_yet]

[ Sure would! Anything specific stand out? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[H-hey you know what I forgot to mention?

There is a bookcase laying on top of Kit's body]

[not_over_yet]

[ Is it obvious whether it fell onto him before or after death...? Is it a specific bookcase, like idk the K section or something. ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[It's hard to tell because Kit seems to have no physical damage from the bookcase.

And no it's no particular bookcase that fell over.]

[not_over_yet]

[ [mystery] used Bookcase! it's Not Very Effective!

Hmm. Does it look like the books were removed from it beforehand, or no? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Actually, yes! And judging by the books scattered around the room, I feel like you can figure out where they went.]

[not_over_yet]

[ ...HMM. Do the books look "thrown-about" scattered, or "placed-haphazardly" scattered? ]

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Technically the latter. While there are a ton of books placed around the room, they're all closed, not even any of the covers are open.]

[not_over_yet]

[ Well that's certainly not suspicious at all.

Anything else odd about the bookcase itself? Also, how well did it cover the body, is this like the most inept attempt ever to hide a body or? ]
