Kotaru takes the brim of his hat in one hand and, looking up, lets out a soft whistle.
"Goin' by Occam's razor, we really only got two options, at least for the first shelf: either someone pushed it onto him, or he's really that much of a klutz and managed to somehow knock it onto himself. Maybe he decided to climb on it? He's a little weird."
"Though we got two shelves to worry about, and that makes things interestin'. Without any wire connectin' the two, we can basically guarantee the second shelf was pushed onto him after the first one fell. If I'm right, that means there had to have been someone else in the room at the time. We can assume whoever that is also set up the wire, which solves another problem with a little lateral thinkin'."
"Supposin' the wire's only attached on one side, with the other side loose, runnin' around the backside of the first bookshelf. All the culprit has to do is hide behind the shelf and wait for someone t'come by. They wait for whoever's there to go to the bookshelf and turn around to leave, then pull the wire taut, raisin' it up and trippin' the hapless victim. Since the victim's facin' away from the shelf, they don't see it topplin' over onto them when the culprit gives it a big shove. Jugo's a tough customer though, and the culprit can see all they've done is stun him, so they find the nearest shelf and topple that one too, prolly hopin' to break his spine. He stops movin', and the culprit goes to untie their wire. Problem is, it's stuck hard under the weight of the body plus twice as many shelves as they'd expected. Since they gotta scram or else risk gettin' caught, they make a mad dash outta there, leavin' the wire behind. Thus explains two perpendicular bookshelves, a mysterious tripwire, and a face-down Jugo."
"Although, this doesn't point us any closer to a culprit than we were before. Sorry bout that."
