"Puhuhuhuhu here ya go you cretens! The Monokuma file is all yours!" Monokuma disappeared as quickly as he had appeared. Shuichi hesitantly looked at the file.

Monokuma file: Victim was Tsumugi Shirogane Ultimate Cosplayer. The victim's cause of death was skull fragments impaling the brain. Other wounds, such as multiple gashes in the cranial and face areas can be seen as done postmortem. Time of death approximately 6:00 a.m.

     Truth bullet obtained: Monokuma file

She died at 6? That was relatively recently.  "Hey Mr. Detective, you gonna detective or nah?" Kokichi spoke up beside him. Shuichi hummed as an answer and moved a bit closer. Tsumugi hardly even looked like her anymore. This killer, they had no remorse for what they had done. They had meant every blow that her body took. The fact that most of the wounds were done after the girl's death was proof of that. Was anyone here capable of getting that angry?

     Truth bullet obtained: state of body

Shuichi then turned his eyes to the plank. It was bloody, indicating it was the murder weapon. He sighed and looked at the edge of the board, it was very, very bloody. However Shuichi noticed the plank wasn't dented at all. If the culprit had hit hard enough to shatter Tsumugi's skull shouldn't the wood show damage too? Shuichi Made himself look closer at Tsumugi's wounds. The impression was not of a plank. They were rather round, more like a pipe. So the plank was just a distraction?

     Truth bullet obtained: bloody board

He looked again at Tsumugi, her body was laying across the counter. Now that Shuichi was looking closer he noticed that she must've been carefully put in the position she was in. The head wounds were at too difficult of an angle to be made while she was like this. The blood, however, made it clear she hadn't been thrown into this position. If she was pushed roughly here the blood would be splattered across the cabinet, that would match what Shuichi had thought of the killer. But the blood told a different story, light dribbles leading to a puddle indicating the killer had remorse for the dead. Shuichi sighed, that didn't match up. They had killed her brutally but then treated her dead body with remorse? Or perhaps she wasn't killed in this room.

     Truth bullet updated: state of body

"Hey Shuichi come here and look at this" Kaito called out. Shuichi left his position at the body's side and went to the tall boy, when had Kaito even got here? Once he got behind the counter he could see what Kaito had called him over for. There was a puddle of blood on the wall, hidden by the counter. The blood moved weirdly though, as if something was affecting its flow. Shuichi leaned around it trying to make out what it was. It took him a minute to realize that someone had attempted to write something in the blood, presumably Tsumugi. It took him even longer to try to read what it said. All he could make out was "ie" Shuichi stared at it for a minute trying to decipher any other letters, he was at a loss though.

     Truth bullet obtained: dying message?

"What do you think sidekick 2?" Kaito prompted him. "I don't think Tsumugi wrote this, if she did why would the killer go through the trouble of moving her body yet not cleaning this up?" Kaito shrugged, "maybe they wanted us to find it?" "Maybe, but that's even weirder isn't it?" Kaito stroked his goatee. "Yeah I guess you're right." Shuichi and Kaito stood up again and Shuichi looked around the room. A few people were missing, those being: Ryoma, Gonta, Himiko, Kokichi, and Korekiyo. Shuichi sighed to himself, the class trial hadn't started yet so there must be something he was missing. He would get alibis but the murder was so early he could almost guarantee hardly any of them had them. Shuichi started walking out of the room, he should try to find the real murder weapon. Which would be a pipe. He turned the corner after he left the room to head to the gym. Perhaps there was a loose pipe in there. He was greeted with something that horrified him. Kokichi Ouma stood holding a bloody pipe, blood seeped down onto the boy's hands as they stared at each other in shock. "Shuichi I can explain-" Kokichi cut himself off and raised his hand to his mouth. He realized his hand was bloody just before he started biting his nail and put his hand back down. "Shuichi I know this looks bad." "It looks like you're the killer" "I know but I promise I'm not! I have to do this Shuichi!" "Do what?" "I had to have time to get more evidence! Damn it all, Shuichi something about this case is wrong! There's just something off!" "Yeah there's something off! You're holding the murder weapon!" Kokichi shook. "Damn it are you not listening?! I need more time Shuichi! Leave before Monokuma notices you've found the 'last piece'!" Shuichi shook his head. "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I'm talking about how this case makes zero sense! I mean honestly-"

"Puhuhuhu! All evidence has been collected! Everyone gather in the trial room immediately!"

Shuichi glanced at the speaker and then back to Kokichi. "Shit.. Shuichi Listen it's not me, but I have no idea who it is. I thought I knew but that's just, it's too easy." Shuichi sighed and started walking forward. "Come on Kokichi, we need to go to the trial." Shuichi felt doubt running through his head. Was it Kokichi? He felt his heart stutter at the thought. First Kaede and then Maki, if Kokichi got executed too... Shuichi shook his head. Kokichi was innocent, he trusted the purple haired boy.
