INVESTIGATION 5

It's a quiet night as the silence remains unbroken. Without the toll of the clock tower, only a choice few will be able to discern the time as the hands on all four faces remain fixed at 9:27. And yet, even those without any means of checking the time will probably get the picture: it's been four consecutive weeks of death already, so what makes this one any different? So even though the lines between days may blur and tangle together, time still marches on and deadlines continue to draw closer.

The time is ████. Is there a reason to be out in the streets right now? Maybe.

[The bullet was embedded on the side directly facing the inside of the autoshop, at around mid-door height.]

[bawcock]

[ Not somebody shooting the lock then, got it!! Who would do that from the inside anyway?

Okay, since it's fairly safe to say Dist was at the workbench, can he tell at all what Dist might've been working on? There was some mention of a half-constructed something but, who knows, maybe Iago can find some closure if he knows what Dist died doing!! ]

[Zangetsu is here now, too, looking a mess with his bedhead and wrinkled clothes. But he needs to know something]

Oi, Erik. You seen a black plastic box around here?

[umbralant]

[The mystery box is sitting innocuously on the workbench, a little off to the side of the half-constructed robot thing. There are also some notes there but generally all that shit looks safe and undamaged by whatever happened in here.]

[moonfang]

[Zangetsu frowns]

I wonder how much he got to look at it before he....

[he shakes his head and growls] Dammit... Why couldn't it have been someone useless... [like Cumore]

[Oh well. Nothing that can be done now except try to salvage the work that was already done. What do Dist's notes say?]

[umbralant]

[The notes are about the box, but needless to say, they have nothing to do with the case. Might be best to leave this one until after the trial.]

[moonfang]

[he sighs, taking the box and the notes for safekeeping]

Let's figure out who took you out, Rosey.
