RECORDING 11: THE FOURTH MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A fourth week, and this is now definitely routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

You must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone.

...But, wait.

What's that smell...?

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

[ hmm... any signs of dirt or blood under his fingernails?

and can he determine time of death? ]

[foundationmods]

[Romani, he's frozen solid. Good luck determining a time of death without proper equipment for that.

At the very least, he can assume he died sometime in the early night to be frozen this solidly, so potentially around midnight to 2pm.

There is, obviously, blood on the underside of his left hand, so there might be some blood there - but not really on the other hand.]

[finalring]

[ i didn't expect an answer anyways Wow.

aside from seeing how much blood is on his hand and if it looks like it was wiped off, then is there anything else he can look for? ]

[foundationmods]

[ALSO MY MISTAKE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 2 AM. TIME IS FAKE.

Anyway, no. It feels like he's gotten all he can, without going digging in ango's body.]

[eyeforai]

[Good thing we don't need to actually dig into the body!! Okay, let's go x-ray a nerd. Presumably we'll find some bullets, but what else is there? Any broken bones and other fun stuff?]

[foundationmods]

[ You will indeed find some bullets, but one of them seems odd. While the ones in the head and the back of the neck look to be what you expect, the one embedded in the shoulder looks like it has even more damage than usual. It looks more squished.

It's also clear that he bled out almost all of his blood. ]

[eyeforai]

[Huh, well that's interesting. Is that particular bullet stopped up against bone or anything?

Also just some clarification about the location of the bullet wounds: there was a bullet between the neck and shoulder; does it look like it could've passed through the subclavian artery or is the positioning too off for that?]

omai talking science words at me

[foundationmods]

[ The shoulder one is not stopped against the bone and it does indeed look like it passed through the subclavian artery. ]

i do it out of love <3

[eyeforai]

[Nice, alright then. Assuming there's nothing else to note on the x-ray front, let's do an extra check on the gunshot wounds for clarifications. I'm assuming none of them look like contact or near-contact shots, correct? They're just round, like what you'd get if you shot someone from mid to long range?

Second, can he get an idea of the distance the shooter was at based on the presence (or absence) of gunpowder stippling on Ango's corpse?]

[foundationmods]

[ It might be worth noting that the bullet is squished in the direction facing towards the wound instead of inward. While there is nothing else to note here, maybe there are other bullets some where else that have similar damage.

None of the wounds look like they are contact or near-contact shots. They are round and consistent with a mid to long range shot.

He won't find any gunpowder stippling on Ango's corpse. ]

[eyeforai]

[Alright, cool!! Do they have tweezers around in the house that he could use to pick the bullets out of their wounds because apparently today is a day for good life decisions. Or are they going to have to thaw Ango first......]

[foundationmods]

[ They might need to thaw him out a bit first, but they should be able to find tweezers some where around the house or in the supplies they brought with them. ]

[eyeforai]

[Okay, that works. Timelines are also a lie so I have no clue when this investigation takes place but hopefully Dazai doesn't walk in on Date sticking tweezers into his dead friend to pull out a bunch of bullets!!

Anyway, after the bullets are out, I assume they're your standard 9mm from the Foundation, yes?]

[foundationmods]

[ That's correct. ]

[eyeforai]

[Also one more thing: does Ango have a holster for a gun or anything?]
