"LET US OBSERVE."

Spoiler: The Truth
Image
"Yeah, well, that still doesn't prove Bobby did it!"
"We've only been looking at suspects who were at the Ritché during the murder."
"Any officer from Truncheon Tower could have done this crime!"

Image
"I'm sorry, Ple- Promethea."
"Robert has been an excellent detective in all the time I've known him."
"I don't wish to condemn him, but... you're wrong."

:takethat:

Image
"As you can see from the car park footage, he's the only one who approached the body."
"He's the only one who had the opportunity to plant the stopwatch."

Image
"B-but... Well, what if-"

Image
"No, that's enough."
"Really hoped I could get away with this one, but Kerberos is too sharp for that."
"I admit it. I killed Bux."

Image
"No!"
"I trusted you! We trusted you!"

Image
"I'm sorry. But I have no regrets."

Spoiler: The Motive
[Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbMDthff1zc]

Image
"Here. I want this added to the court record."

It was an old case file, for 'Lea Marple'. Noxx read over it, quickly becoming surprised.

Image
"Why, this case... It bears many similarities to the present one!"
"It was deemed a suicide. The victim jumped to her death from a tall building."
"Her time of death was confirmed by a stopwatch on her person."
"Simple coincidence so far, but there's more..."
"The autopsy report noted 'unusual damage' to the head."
"It doesn't appear the matter was looked into any further, however."

Image
"That file... It's my mother's case file."
"The similarities go deeper than that."
"The official story is that she committed suicide, but that's a lie."
"She was murdered. Shot through the head."

"I looked into it myself, off-record."
"The official conclusion never sat right with me."
"Eventually, I learned the truth..."
"She was murdered by a hitman. We actually managed to arrest him a while back for an unrelated crime."

"The one who hired him, however, was Bux Biggson."
"You're all well-aware of the influence that man wielded."
"It was a simple matter for him to hurry the case along."
"Get it closed as a mere suicide."

"I imagine my mother had gone to him after the divorce."
"Brook, my 'father', had cut her off financially. She was facing ruin."
"She probably requested financial support from her ex-lover."
"Of course, Bux was a money-grubbing bastard. He wouldn't have agreed to anything."

"Perhaps then, mother tried to threaten him."
"My existence was proof of their affair. She could go public and cause a scandal."
"It's enough of a motive for him to have had her killed."
"Would keep her silent. Hiring a gunman's cheaper than paying a blackmailer."

"No-one else thought anything was strange."
"It was all too easy to believe she'd committed suicide due to the divorce."
"Of course, I felt otherwise, so spent years investigating by myself."
"I hoped I could assemble a strong enough case file to put Bux away, like I did Brook."

"Reality wasn't so kind."
"Didn't matter what I found out, who I talked to, what I did."
"Bux was too powerful for the law to bring down."
"Oh I got close; closer than anyone, I'm willing to bet. But it wasn't enough."

"That's when Mr Pink came to me with an offer."
"If the law couldn't touch him, I could only take justice into my own hands."
"Mother's murder was just the tip of the iceberg. He had a number of criminal acts to his name."
"He was a monster, and one way or another, he needed to be stopped."

"I wasn't willing to settle for just killing him, though."
"I wanted him killed the same way my mother was."
"That way, when the partial truth of his death came to light, so too would hers."
"The world would see what really happened to her, and that he'd been the one to do it."

"On top of that, while I didn't want to be caught, I couldn't let someone else take the fall."
"That's where Deid came in."
"A crazy plan, I know, but I wanted to pin the blame on someone beyond punishment."
"It was supposed to become clear after just a bit of research that 'Deid shot Bux'."
"That way I could show the connection to mother's murder without outing myself as Bux's killer."
"Ella and Aiden, as usual, got in the way of that... So, instead, we got this song and dance."

"Still... even with all that planning, I... got cold feet."
"In my original plan, I'd be seen at the soirée at the 'time of death', and that would be that."
"Bux would go up to the roof, alone, then later it would seem like he'd jumped to his death."

"Once at the soirée, however, I... I just had to have one last conversation with the man."
"It wasn't part of the plan, and could have even jeopardised it, if anyone saw me go up there."
"Well, actually, that is what happened in the end. I really made a mess of things."
"But I just had to try. I had to see if there was, somehow, any hope of redemption in him."

"Of course, I was sorely disappointed."
"He was just the same as he always had been."
"All the conversation did was strengthen my resolve."
"You know how it went from there."

Spoiler: The Verdict
The courtroom was silent after that. Promethea looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn't put it in words. Kerberos had his head bowed, hat obscuring his eyes.

Image
"Truly, a tragic tale..."
"There is much to unravel there, it seems."
"For now, though, I have received a clear confession."
"I shall not prolong this trial."
"With a heavy heart, I find the defendant, Robert Milverton..."
:guilty:

Image
"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT."

Akari slams her hands on the desk and drags her fingers across, making deep claw marks in the wood.

“Ugh, I should have known better than to trust that shithead. Just like his father. Just like everyone like him.”

She wrapped her arms around her chest and cocked her neck behind her, as if facing skyward.

“There’s so much left to do…I can’t stay here! Why couldn’t that creep just die like the rest of them?”



“Oh yeah, also how the fuck did he get the gun out of the armory? Did anyone figure that out?”

"...Well, damn, that sucks," Mai sighed somberly, somewhat surprisingly. "Sometimes there's things you just need to do, the hell with the law or consequences... especially if it involves someone you love. I can appreciate that.... It'd be nice if he got off easy considering what a piece of trash Bux was."

"We win! We win! I can publish this after all!" Edgar very unsomberly chugged his coffee and almost choked on all the confetti that fell into his mug. It did not affect his mood in the slightest. "Ah, but if I get to go back to right before dying, I'll have gotten so much done in no time at all! Maybe it'd be worth dying and trying this again next time I'm short on time..."

"Excellent," TV-Head steeples their fingers and smiles within their tv-shaped helmet, another job well done.

"It was a pleasure winning against all of you. Let us do it again sometime," they say, giving a big thumbs up in approval.

"That's easy 'nough", Pat spoke up. "He went into the armoury with a wig or somethin', hidin' his face to leave his identity unknown. He then had all the pieces of the rifle but didn't put 'em together. That's how he snuck it out."

"In any case, good job! I did m'best, but that was a well earned victory!" Pat beamed, not looking that upset- probably because his revival was guaranteed either way. "Do feel bad for Bobby, though. He did his best to make justice reach Bux, even if it was outta the law's hands... He probably doesn't deserve too harsh a punishment, given he didn't even try t'frame anybody who was alive." He nodded.

Spoiler: Gun Smuggling Solution
  1. Bobby walked in with a laptop and backpack. The laptop triggered the firing range metal detector.
  2. After putting those two things down, he went into the armoury empty-handed.
  3. He picked up a rifle, and also hid a pistol on his person.
  4. He left the armoury, and the guns triggered the armoury metal detector.
  5. He assembled a model of the rifle with stuff from his backpack.
  6. He then returned to the armoury carrying the model, with the pistol still hidden on him. The pistol triggered the metal detector so it looked like the model was real.
  7. Inside the armoury he returned the pistol, disassembled the model and hid the parts on his person. (It's just made of paper and stuff, so it's much easier to hide than the actual rifle would be. The cameras can't really tell from a distance.)
  8. He left the armoury and didn't trigger the metal detector.
  9. Finally, he put the rifle in his backpack (either by folding it up or taking it apart or whatever) and left. (It's too big to just hide on his person, even in parts, hence the need for the backpack.)
  10. On the way out, he pretended his laptop was the only thing setting off the firing range metal detector.

Light leans over his prosecutor desk and clutches his head in pain. That's it. He doesn't do anything else.

"Once again I win by pity despite inconceivable odds..." TV-Head chuckles, "This is just like the 2012 puzzle masters tournament..."

TV-Head painstakingly goes around giving everyone handshakes and saying gg.

Light grumbles and shakes TV-Head's hand, returning the gg.

"Hmph. I hate losing, but I suppose I'm in no position to complain. Thanks, Death. You've got some rocking tunes. Though I hope I won't have to hear them again soon."

"I might be waking up with my face in a muddy puddle, but I should manage. Hasn't stopped me before. Congratulations to all you winners."

"SUPER WINNER??!?!?!?!?!?!?!'" GUNS was overjoyed!! She did a back-flip to celebrate.

"Does this mean you can, like, give me a couple million dollars or somethin'?? They'd come in handy..... I'm a lil behind on my rent, y'know..." She twirled the long part of her bangs between her fingers.

"Also if you can revive us during any time we want... can I go back to when I was workin' in the hair salon?? I miss the people workin' there...."

"I HAVE ONLY A MINIMAL UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN CURRENCY."
"I SUPPOSE I COULD DESPOSIT SOME PORTION OF GOLD NEXT TO YOU."
"SENDING YOU BACK TO THE PAST IS POSSIBLE, THOUGH YOU WOULD LOSE MANY MEMORIES OF YOUR TIME HERE."

Some time passed as people continued to sort out their rewards. Soon there was nothing left to say, and Death played a final riff on his guitar.

Image
"WELL THEN, I WISH YOU ALL FULFILLING LIVES."
"IN WHATEVER FORM THAT MAY TAKE FOR YOU."

Image
"come back soon!"

As Death played the final note, the world around the dead faded to black, and they were sent back to the living realm. Their lives were now back in their own hands.
