Exam 3

Exam 3.

[ Once again, the exam begins with the desks arranged in a perfect circle; one desk for each person that's participating in the program. There are nameplates for everyone, and they have been bolted to each of the desks, facing the inside of the circle...

...including the deceased. Their chairs have been placed on top of their desks, signifying that they will not be needed. Above of their desks are holograms of their portraits from their profiles, grayed out and bloodstained.

Today Han is absent-- only Megumi is present at the front of the classroom. ]

Today you are responsible for finding the culprit responsible for the death of Maya Fey, the Apprentice Falsely Accused.

Your exam begins now.

Victim.

Suspects.

[ The physical evidence tray sits in the middle of the circle of desks; you all have the Evidence app on your tablets to access photo evidence. ]

[ He can't and he won't! ]

Then it'd still be overkill to go for it that hard. A knife to the heart'll kill anyone instantly. Going overboard like that usually means the killer was in a highly emotional state and probably lost track of what they were doing. They would've just kept stabbing away until they could calm themselves down.

For the record, that still rules out Connor.

[ Calm down, Hank!! ]

You're thinking about this too narrowly. [ Wow, that's said with conviction to the literal cop. ]

Forget Connor-san is one of the suspects for a minute here. If it's not because you're emotional - why else would someone stab her that many times?

You're either hiding something or making sure she's dead.

[ It's hard to focus when your buddy-cop is on trial, ok?? ]

28 times is still goddamn overkill. Blood loss would've kicked in after like 5 or 6. You don't have to go this hard to make sure she was dead -- so yeah, maybe the stabbing was done to hide something. Or maybe they were having a goddamn panic attack.
