DIE HARD [1st Investigation]

[akudamods]

It's been almost a week since the X-Class Akudama found themselves in Dotonbori, and the days since Bunny and Shark's little announcement have gone on, seemingly falling on deaf ears. But now, as the sun begins to rise and turn the hanging smog red across the sky, it truly seems that blood is in the air. Not a soul is around on the streets... who will be the first to venture out?

EVIDENCE

[akudamods]

[It's a rag, close to the sink - looks like it was used to wipe a hefty amount of blood.]

[your_best_friend]

[* Flowey pokes and prods at to wound briefly. to see if it holds anything more. Lessee... Couple inches long and deep enough to reach the... veins, were they called? Damnit, Flowey wishes a lot more human biology books fell into the dumb. But what he knows is what he knows.]

[* He's done with the body. There's nothing more to be made here.

* SAVE FAILED

* Hmm. Still.

* He'll search the outer perimeter (sides and back) of the building to see if he can find more clues, but not before telling Gai about the wounds he's found. So! Anything out-of-place? Any "escape routes" like a ladder or piping?]

[depleting]

[ Cool and fun! Being near the sink, is there any evidence of blood left behind there? Any little streaks that got missed, etc? ]

[voidseeing]

[Standing back to let a flower do its thing is certainly not anything Gai has ever experienced before, but that sure did just happen. It's not the weirdest thing he's seen in his life, so whatever!

But let's take a closer look at those injuries right now. He'll start with the one on the head-- if he touches it gently, will he be able to feel that the skull is broken underneath? And is there any visible bruising/pooling of blood in that area?]

[akudamods]

[It looks pretty clean, honestly! But you know what else is strange?

That bench is in here now! Pretty sus, considering this is the fourth floor.]

[depleting]

[ Is

Is it just sitting against the wall like this is normal, or is it flipped on its face or something. ]

[akudamods]

[The bench is casually here, like this is its new home now. It could almost fit in.]

[depleting]

[ squ...ints...

Despite it standing there all casual, she's going to check it for both blood and dents. ]

EVIDENCE

[akudamods]

[The bench is in-tact. However, when Satsuki leans down to check, she will see that the floor tile underneath the bench has been cracked.]

[akudamods]

[There's bits of gravel, but it doesn't look like Sidewalk Dirt!

Oh, that's correct! It's the clothes she's wearing in the billboard. As for the dress, it's pull-over, not one you lace up in the back. It's cinched on the waist with a belt, but it's nothing that can't be undone with ease]

[akudamods]

[Nothing else seems to stand out on this street or on the adjacent buildings! While there are objects and stuff that could be considered potential escape routes, there seems to be no evidence that points at them.

All in all, it seems the corpses are the only noteworthy elements around here]

[depleting]

[ What kind of crack is it? Like, a chip on a corner or something that runs through the center? ]

[akudamods]

[First of all, I must give a correction: Debbie is lying on her back, face up to the skies, yup.

That said, yes! Touching that part of the head does hint the skull has suffered severe damage -- it's not outright shattered, but it's broken enough for, well, for it to be noticeable. The extent of the injury cannot be examined given it's still all under the scalp, though.

There's blood on that area of the head. Doesn't have a specific shape, it's pretty much what you'd expect from this sort of injury. There's no blood on the sidewalk where her head was at, though]

[pr159]

[ All right, then. And no particular damage to her clothes that he should note as he removes them (in a purely professional medical manner)? ]

[voidseeing]

[So her body was most likely moved, then... or dropped.

How big is this head injury? What sort of weapon/object might we be looking at here in terms of the cause, in other words? And is that blood totally dried or still damp?]

[akudamods]

[The cracks start from the middle and extend outward in a few different directions, giving them a 'spiderweb' appearance.]

[depleting]

[ Good to know! Satsuki is going to take some photos to document the rag, the bench, and the cracked tile; is there anything else she might notice in the process, or is she done in here? ]

[your_best_friend]

[* Hmm... The bodies being the only noteworthy is also noteworthy. A lot can be said from what isn't there. For example... Debbie didn't have her phone on her. Ebott will call it and see if anyone picks up.]

Re: Pharmacy Evidence

[conways_retribution]

A missing scalpel too? _{[Guess that muddies his assumption it was the missing razor specifically.]} Do you think it might have been the same person who took the razor from the parlor?

[akudamods]

[That's all, folks!]

[akudamods]

[Nothing worth noting on her dress in terms of damage! Just the fraying on fabric you'd expect from such abrasions.

Her cowl, all the way up on the head...it does have a small rip, and some fibers from it are missing. May as well give that right away, since we're speaking of damage on clothes.

Other than that, nothing to report]

[pr159]

[ Noted!

So once that's all out of the way, what are we looking at on the torso? Presumably at least some bruising and stuff around the broken ribs? ]

[akudamods]

[It's...

...it's pretty hard to tell. It's a sizable injury, but the object/weapon it was made with is impossible to determine.

All Gai can tell is that it's rather large and with a flat surface, large enough to not have left any sort of shape nor indentations.

As for the blood, well, it has started to dry -- as expected from a corpse that has been left out there for a while. No anomalies to report on this topic!]

[thefifthchild]

[Glaring at whatever that flower thinks he's doing, Damian is going to walk inside the karaoke bar. He's not shaken or scared or even sad but he is... sombre. And livid.

Time to look for any clues in the karaoke bar itself. ]

[voidseeing]

[A flat surface, huh... good to know.

Let's move on to those hand marks next! He's a fairly decently-sized guy at close to 6 feet, are these hand marks going to be larger or smaller than his hands? And are there any nail marks too that would indicate that whoever did this had fairly long nails, or just the finger imprints?

Either way, he's going to take a photo of his own hand alongside the marks for a size reference.]
