Chapter One - Deadly Life
I can't believe it. Me, Alice and Arianna are looking at the dead body of Won. Minori is standing a bit behind us, she probably didn't see the body yet.
Ding dong bing bong!
Monoala: A body was discovered in the warehouse! You have 2 hours to investigate before the class trial starts!
We have to... Actually investigate...
Melissa: No... I don't want to investigate.
Arianna: My clothes would get so dirty!
Alice: Cowards. Do you want us all to get executed?!
Minori: C-can I see Won...
Melissa: Of course... But it's not a great sight...
The once energetic Ultimate Vlogger is now just pale, in a pool of dried blood, covered in several injuries, most noticeably the knife sticking out his lifeless body.
Alice: We have to stay here until others come to ensure that nobody tampers with the crime scene.
Soon after, everyone arrives.
Eugene: The Killing Game is afoot.
Aozora: I'm not gonna look... I can't handle blood...
Fernando: Who would do something like this?!
Netta: Yea! This is so evil?! What the fuck?!
Cody: I guess everyone depends on me, Cody Foster, to solve the mystery now...
Dale: I'm not that smart so I will watch the body to ensure nothing happens.
Minori: I will do the same... Then I can also pray that Won goes to heaven...
Monoala appears out of nowhere.
Monoala: Finally, someone broke! I was worried that nobody would murder!!!
Harper: Worried?! You sicko!
Monoala: Don't get mad at me! It is one of YOU that committed the murder! Anyway to help out, I have a very handy tool here: the Monoala File!
Joseph: The what-now file?
Monoala: The Monoala File! It shows some specifics about the murder.
The koala hands all of us a file, and I open it.
Truth Bullet Acquired
Monoala File 1
Victim's Name: Won Jong-Soo
Cause of Death: Unknown
Time of Death: Somewhere between 0:30 and 1:00 AM
Other Notes: Won has a stab wound, and two head wounds
Most others start investigating, with Minori and Dale staying on the watch here.
Cece: Melissa, do you wanna investigate together?
Melissa: Sure, Cece. I think we'll first look around the warehouse? The crime scene probably holds lots of clues.
Cece: If this even IS the crime scene...
?
Melissa: What do you mean?
Cece: Well, judging on the amount of blood, I think Won was stabbed after having already... you know... passed away.
Melissa: Oh... So then one of the two head wounds must have been the killing blow.
Cece: It seems like that, yes.
