Chapter 605 - 604 – Mystery Trial – Part 3.
(I think the test is a mind game type where it offers too obvious answers and too little information.)
(Maybe it is trying to misled me?)
(That woman, she didn't bear any grudges towards the victim, but the thieve does?)
(Maybe the lead was just way that obvious in order to make it look like the situation is extremely simple, but in reality she wasn't involved?) – thought Sengen as once again she began doing autopsy on the victim, looking for any "ODD" injuries that could had been the true culprit behind the attack.
It doesn't even need to be a big wound, just a small hole. This time she didn't investigated the side that the got bumped, but instead a whole body.
She looked for the even tiniest injury, even a small cut that somebody may not notice when they got one.
(The poison acted up suddenly and fast.)
(He didn't shown any signs of being affected by poison beforehand.)
(In other words, it must had been extremely powerful poison.)
(What is the delay before it starts working?)
(I don't know.)
(But I NEED to look for something that could had caused it.)
(The bar owner is the main suspect right now, but there was NOTHING on her information regarding the hostility or the relationship with the victim.)
(The poison looking bottle was THERE! But was she truly the one who put it in there?)
(Maybe somebody slipped into the kitchen?)
(Or maybe a different kind of weapon was used?)
Sengen checked every corner of the victim's body… However, she did not found ANYTHING that suggest any tiniest forms of injuries, even a bug bites.
She even checked the head in case there was another injury hidden there that was meant to be hidden… But she found nothing.
"…"
(That means that he really got poisoned at the bar?) – thought Sengen as she couldn't find any single injury which could had been possible cause for the poison getting into the victim body.
That meant that the victim was truly poisoned at the bar, causing Sengen to go back right to it.
"…"
(It seems I'm allowed to open up the door.)
(Good. The fact that I can open up the doors means I should check them all up.)
(In the previous tests, there was a limit on how much I can explore, so I need to make sure to find what I can explore and what parts of the map I can't explore.) – thought Sengen as when she entered the kitchen, she approached the trashcan where the poison looking bottle with skull on it was inside.
[Poison]
(It has a freaking "Poison" written on it. Bruh.)
(Anyway, is there – Ah.) – Sengen noticed another door in the kitchen, which she opened.
(I see. So, this leads to the back al-)
"!"
Sengen found herself in the back alley after opening up the door.
However, her attention quickly shifted towards a PERSON that was there.
A person that was running away.
"…"
"Info."
[Mizzela The Cook]
[A cook that works for Windy The Bar Owner.]
[Relationship : Markus The Thug]
(Again, fucking barely any info once again info.)
(…Still… There are two things that stand out… Which are the only two things in her information.)
(The bar cook and her relationship.) – thought Sengen as she approached the woman
(First thing first. From what the information on the bar owner, there was a mention that she is working today alone.)
(So why is she here… And why is there so much panic in her eyes?) – thought Sengen as she realized the running woman was panicking.
"…"
(She shouldn't be here, yet she is.)
(Running in fear… Away from restaurant.)
(…No fucking way.)
(SHE was the one that poisoned the victim? She is way too close to the back entrance… Meaning she may had came in quickly while nobody had been watching and just poured in the poison.)
(BUT THAT IS STILL WAY TOO FUCKING SIMPLE!)
(I mean! The location! Where is she! Her occupation! HELL! THIS IS WAY TOO FUCKING STUPID AND PLAIN!)
(THIS AIN'T MYSTERY!)
(Seriously! The more I investigate, the more I found this entire test odd!)
(…No. Calm down. There are still other things to check.)
(Maybe this test is still fucking with me, okay?)
<<Relationship… I've began looking around for the Markus The Thug.>>
<<And it didn't took me long to find him.>>
<<In the replay, there was a moment where the victim looked extremely pissed off as he looked towards something.>>
<<Turns out? It was Markus and two other thugs named James and Karol.>>
[Markus The Thug]
[Markus is well known violent thug who uses force to get what he want.]
[However, recently he lost a large amount of money to Jack in the gambling match, resulting in him getting far more violent than usually.]
[Relationship: Mizzela The Cook]
<<The other two guys were the same.>>
<<They also lost bet with Jack, resulting in them also getting in trouble.>>
"…"
(Jack won big time recently.)
(However, the people who had lost held a grudge against him.)
(So, they decided to kill him.)
(Markus gave his girlfriend a poison which she used to poison the victim.)
"…"
"THIS IS STILL WAY TOO FUCKING SIMPLE!"
"ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME BOOK MAKER!?" – shouted Sengen as she snapped.
(I've thought that the poison mystery would be far more complicated! But… It came to the conclusion like THAT?!)
(No! No! FUCKING NO!)
<<This test was way too abnormal!>>
<<First test I was given and the second test I was given, which I've both failed, were hard as fuck! And yet, the story so far seems… Simple?>>
<<I wasn't… I think they still fucking with me!>>
<<And there is also the main cause of death! The projectile!>>
<<I've looked around! I've checked every single corner of the map! There could be some kind of "Mystery" and that entire map was nothing more than a disguise for something more sinister.>>
<<I've checked everything, every suspect and… Nothing.>>
<<Or more exactly, the amount of information in the trial was just… Stupid?>>
<<There was barely any information on any of the characters and there was truly nothing weird laying around.>>
<<Not only that… I've found the main culprit.>>
[Tomasz The Brave]
[A child of Miguel The Poor. His father recently started winning gambling matches, allowing him and his son to eat somewhat warm food recently, however, duo to Miguel losing a bet with Jack, causing the family to once again become extremely poor and even affect Miguel's heart, resulting in him getting a heart attack that almost killed him.]
"…"
(He is the culprit.) – thought Sengen as she saw that the boy was watching with pure hatred towards the corpse of the victim, while holding in his hand a slingshot.
(He used his slingshot to murder Jack.)
(He is the only one with the weapon that wouldn't cause too much attention and had enough power to land a deadly force.)
(The guards with rifles couldn't had done that, since they didn't fired their weapons.)
(And all of the hidden suspects did not had any means of firing that piece of metal either.)
(And this child here, have a good reason why he would want to murder Jack.)
(Revenge.)
"…"
(BUT THIS IS STILL WAY TOO SIMPLE!)
(THIS ENTIRE STORY!)
(EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!)
(I'VE CHECKED EVERYTHING OVER ONCE AGAIN! BUT NOTHING!)
"This ain't normal."
"…"
"BOOK MAKER! COME HERE! I HAVE A VERDICT!" – shouted Sengen as moments later several pages appeared, before then forming the Book Maker.
"Have you made the story?" – asked the Book Maker, the priest of the temple.
"Yes… I think so." – replied Sengen with worried and exhausted look on her face.
(This entire doesn't make any sense! It is beyond simple!)
(Even idiot can solve this entire thing!)
"So?" – said the Book Maker.
"…"
"The victim, Joe The Gambler had pissed off several people by winning recently." – said Sengen nervously.
"One of the victims, went and straight up robbed the Joe in daylight, without Joe realizing, that guy over did it."
"However, he wasn't involved in the real crime, which was the murder of the Joe."
"Joe had been targeted by two different parties."
"Each one wanting to murder him with their own hands."
"The first party is Markus The Thug, his two friends and his girlfriend."
"After they had lost big time against Joe in the game, they ended up losing a lot of money, which pissed off them so much that these three men decided to poison Joe."
"So, they used Markus The Thug's girlfriend, Mizzela The Cook."
"They gave her a poison."
"She made some kind of excuse to not work today, only to then sneak up into the kitchen and poison the stuff the Joe was eating and drinking."
"Joe who ate at the bar was poisoned by the Markus's girlfriend, which didn't happened instantly, as the poison did take some time to activate."
"However, once it did, Joe was paralyzed and was about to die."
"But, before he could die from the poison, the other party showed up."
"A lone young boy by the name of Tomasz The Brave."
"His father lost a fortune to Joe, resulting in the family becoming poor once again and even resulting in the Tomasz's father getting a heart attack from the lose."
"Vengeful young boy then decided to take his revenge, and so he aimed to take the life of the gambler."
"When the moment shown itself, he used his slingshot to fire a metallic projectile, which struck the gambler in the back of his head, killing him before the poison did."
"The main culprit is the young boy Tomasz The Brave."
"But he was also aimed to be killed by the Markus The Thug assassination attempt."
"…"
"Is that your story?" – asked Book Maker.
(NO! IT AIN'T!) – thought nervous Sengen.
(But this is the only story here! An ONLY FUCKING STORY HERE!)
"…"
"Yes." – replied Sengen with bit of hesitation.
"…"
"Congratulation." – said Book Maker.
"You have passed the trial."
