He continues

"Hmmm...what else...oh right, Mr.Excel!! Regards to the body..he definitely die from strangulation since his..windpipe has been crushed...or is that a lie? I wonder. Besides, it would explain the cut up into two..which could be use."

He blab on

"Hey, hey! You know what else, I bet he was ambushed in the Office with the chloroform since it was all messed up..with a chainsaw, then brought to the Balcony, where he receive the lacerations and the slit on the stomach to prevent him from moving, then...BAM!"

Naru slams his hands on whatever podium he could find

"They choke him, being bleeding more than he could yell, energy draining...he couldn't call for help...obviously...but what's more! This part of strategy would not arouse any thing going on at the balcony! Oh man! WHAT A WAY TO GO...isn't that right, Kangaroo mask! You murderous fiend!"

"Crushed windpipe? That would definitely prevent him from calling help. It would also cause death in seconds, as his lungs are drowned in blood. But... there was no sign of internal bleeding or any marks that would suggest his neck was injured. Would someone else like to investigate the body and confirm what Mr. Haru has said here so far? Otherwise, we cannot take your statements for granted." Excel reasoned. 

"Hmm, the office... Yes! It was trashed, after all. But... something tells me it may be linked to this terrorist organization rather than the murder? Perhaps one of us was after an incriminating document, that could stain Isa's reputation? Although, a murder under her roof is quite effective, as well." 

"The chainsaw was not bloody, was it? Unless we are all blind, I would say it was not used to deliver these wounds, as it would be much more difficult to move around and clean, compared to the knife in the bathroom." 

"Kangaroo? Kangaroo?! How is this all related to that person at all!!!"

Ah... I see how it is now... I forgot our hostess here is the Prime Minister of Japan... And our deceased friend here is the Boyfriend of said Prime Minister... Perhaps this is one of the way Isa's enemy is trying to ruin her reputation...

That being said, we're all invited here for a reason, aren't we? Perhaps discussing that could reveal who have a motive to do this murder?

[Tetsu]

Naru lets out a dark smile

"...So...you do know...who Kangaroo is..eh...why all of a sudden so defensive...maybe...you two are in cahoot? If you want to go ahead to check the body...be my guess, I doubt you would be doing it any different"

                                                                Naru smiles his eyes grew darker

"Well...I didn't say the chainsaw was used...maybe it was placed there to tear up the Office..maybe you should do a double take...you are getting boring.."


Naru yawns a little and looks at Tyler

"How the Kuma am I suppose to know? Solve it yourself..or just...don't? You're not much of a help either way..."


Naru then turns and place a finger on his chin and taps as he remembers

"This...is turning out to be interesting....maybe...I did it?"

[mao]

"Lee... do you know something about the bag in the laundry room? It was found, so technically nothing has been stolen yet, just moved. Whatever you say does not incriminate you in any way."

"No, I literally have no idea who Kangaroo is. The only people I knew beforehand were Isa, Cloud and Clown, errr, Arin. I was just surprised as to why you would bring them up out of the blue like that. If you know something about potential suspects, please share with the rest of us."

[Tetsu]

Naru shrugs


“Well they just looked suspicious...But aren’t you the smart one...Mr.Excel, since I was an idiot a few moments before? Maybe you could figure it out?”


Naru then yawns.

“Oh....I should give you some info...but I’ll just think about it...”

For some reason, you feel extremely confident in what Lee just said

Isa was thinking and thinking, when all of a sudden she remembered



"Oh! I Remember some more now!"

"Let's see, After playing Bario Kart for a while, I went to The Office to go sign off some papers that I had previously forgotten about. Once I got there, I noticed Zeus was already in there. We talked for a while, before all of a sudden Vampire opened the door, chainsaw in hand. He was absolutely trying to kill me."

She shuddered, and then continued

"Thankfully, Zeus saved me, he's so strong, y'know? It's a shame he..."



She begins to tear up a little

"He is no longer with us."

She paused for a moment, before continuing.



"The next thing we would have done was... Actually, he suggested we go to the Balcony to get some fresh air. I agreed, but mostly to spend some alone time with him, I'd hardly seen him all night."



"While we were on The Elevator, we heard this... almost screeching noise, when all of a sudden, the power fell out, and we became trapped in The Elevator."

She began to rub her head



"From there, I don't remember what happened, I think might have seen a bottle of chemicals in The Elevator, but I'm not sure. The last thing I remember is my vision going hazy and losing my balance."

She looked a little dishevelled

"I'm sorry, that's all I can remember for the time being"

[mao]

"Bottles in the elevator...?" Mike Rho Soft Excel looks puzzled, and then triumphant.

"That is a lie!" He exclaims, almost in joy. "The bottles were not in the elevator when me and Arin used it around A7! This means, that either someone moved them between the actions - which is as highly unnecessary as it is highly unlikely - or they weren't moved into the elevator until A8, which is when me and Arin found the body! Claiming to be knocked unconscious? By who? CLOUD?! You are claiming the victim, your boyfriend drugged you after saving your life?!"

[Ame]

All of a sudden, another wave of remembrance hit. Block 3 is coming to a DM near you!

[Panda]

Nagisa started writing something

"Mike, so you are saying Chloroform was used to cause respiratory failure and that Cloud suffocation was due to that. If what you say is true and Chloroform was used, I don't think that you are 100% right. Even though you can die by inhaling Chloroform, you need a big amount in a closed space for that to happen. Chloroform can, however, make you faint as it is a powerful anesthetic. I am sure you all have seen some movies where criminals put Chloroform on a piece of cloth and make the person faint."

Nagisa stopped for a moment

"Even though I am ashamed of what I am going to tell, after I cleaned the Man Cave I decided to go down the elevator to the basement. I took it and after I got out of the elevator, I was knocked out completely. I don't know what happened. I just know I blanked and I can't remember anything else. I don't know for how long I was knocked out, but I woke up to a high pitched noise and everything was dark. I was trying to get up when I was knocked out again. Again, I don't know how long I was knocked out, but I was woken up by Isa and it seems all lights were back on. Plus, we were in the cellar!"

[mao]

"That is, when inhaled..." Mike Rho Soft Excel pointed out. "We haven't found a piece of cloth soaked in chloroform. Nor would you need to use multiple bottles if you wanted to knock someone out. One and a half ounces is lethal when ingested."

He locked eyes with Nagisa. "So... when exactly did you finish cleaning? And why didn't you get rid of the cans? Isa did not mention you being in the elevator at all, nor does it line up with the time. If you were in the elevator when Isa and Cloud got in, they would have noticed you, no? It just doesn't make sense at all..."

"Not to mention my investigation hinted at someone using the secret room, multiple times. This was where the labels of chloroform bottles were taken off. If you took the elevator after leaving the secret room and the bottles were there to knock you out, that only leaves you as the possible culprit, doesn't it? After all, you didn't say anyone else entered after Cloud left, or that he used the secret room at all."

[Panda]

Nagisa looked at Mike

"Are you saying that someone injected Cloud with Chloroform? Or even ingested? If ingested is your method, then when did Cloud ingest something that could have a lot of Chloroform? I think I organized everything and tried to clean the most I could. I am sorry that I am not that "clean" for you. About Isa statements, were you listening to me? After I cleaned the cans, I went down the elevator to the Basement and got knocked out. Isa claims she was in the Office, then the Balcony and then the Elevator. If what you are saying is true about your investigations, then why are you suspecting me when I was just in the Man Cave during the beggining? It is true that when I was in the Man Cave no one appeared, but after I left, I don't know what happened!"

[Ktoasty]

Suddenly, the police arrives. In his official crime solving sailor suit, very official by the law, this man joins the discussion. "Detective Sailor Noon, on the case for a balcony murder. Trust me, we're going to solve this and bring the killer to justice tonight."

[Ame]

Isa thought for a second, she was reasonably sure she saw a bottle in the elevator.



"I'm not certain, but I am pretty sure there were chemicals inside the elevator. Perhaps the reason you didn't see it is because you were talking to Clown. If you were discussing something with him, a small, grey bottle on the floor is pretty easy to miss."

She continued to think



"I... Don't remember how long I was out for. But it must have been a while, as when I woke up, I was in The Cellar. Rabbit was lying there, so I rushed up to him, and started to shake him to see if he was okay. It didn't take long, but eventually he woke up."



"I do apologise, I still can't recall the entire nights events. My memory is still foggy"
