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.

[If we're playing connect the dots with the bullet hole in the wall and Dist's body, then Dazai will find that the shooter was probably somewhere on the right side of the room (when looking in from the entrance). Is there anything specific he's trying to figure out about the trajectory?]

[deadlygoals]

[ Connecting the dots \o/

He's going to try to figure out about how much taller someone can be (guesstimate) if they were holding the gun with their arm out stretched versus if they were holding it with their arm at a 90 degree angle. JUST is it obvious the shooter may have been taller than Dazai ]

[umbralant]

[I will say that the bullet in the wall behind Dist was more or less at his chest height and the shape of the hole itself was not particularly oblique. Beyond that, it's difficult to make estimations of height here, especially since the shooter's exact position is unclear.]

[deadlygoals]

[ it being at chest height actually helps a lot.

time to go do the same thing with the other bullet hole in the door, but this time he's going to stand where the gun was found (where he left his pocket knife). ]

Erik, can you move to the other hold now?

[ Was the hole itself oblique or at an angle in any way btw? ]

[bawcock]

Sure, just give me a minute to make my way over.

[ Walking along with the copper wire (hopefully not hitting Rideaux with it, who has to deal with all of this going on over his head probs) until he's at the wall!

He does, like, try to look at the hole and tries to remember the angle of the bullet when he pulled it out?? And tries to see if the way the wire stretches is skewed in the same way but. It's dark, it's a wire, and that's unlikely to help in this scenario. ]

[deadlygoals]

[ wire is copper and dazai did set up a bunch of candles during intermission so we should be good at seeing.

He just wants to see if it was done at an angle or straight across. does it look like someone fired the gun down on the ground versus standing up/if it's straight just like the other one. ]

[umbralant]

[The shot is not oblique just like the other one, and it's around the middle of the doorframe!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Okay... hey let's check under the work bench. Is there a second bullet casing there? over by his body? ]

[umbralant]

[There isn't! There's nothing like that on the floor near the work bench or by the body.]

[deadlygoals]

[ OKAY we are missing uno bullet casing.

time to check under the car junk stuff on either side of the body. Anything under here? o3o ]

[umbralant]

[Nothing under the car junk either!]

[deadlygoals]

[ Hmm... okay. WEIRD. Nothing on the other side of the work bench or on it? ]

[umbralant]

[Nada on the work bench unless like... you count that half-finished robot thing chilling there? But no casing for sure.]

[deadlygoals]

[ Oh no is this his baby? He'll take it to give to Iago. Congrats, you had half a son.

Okay so that's weird. No casing any where.

He'll just get going unless hes needed still ]
