That aside thank you boy. But its best to state who you voted for and why, rather than just voting. Otherwise things can get messy.

The wound on the body was definitely not cleanly cut, to let you know. Sure, the weapon was sharp, but with these thoughts in mind and your mention of how tough it is to cut through bone, we could consider that a bone saw was taken from the infirmary. it's perfect for certain surgical operations and despite the fact that it would not cut through flesh very smoothly, it could certainly get through bone at some point. You will find that these are most often used for amputation.

Hm. I'm sorry, but it's impossible for the killer to have used a Bone Saw!

If we know that the wound this round is consistent with the one before, that would imply that the same murder weapon was used in both murders. Which, would imply that the Bone Saw, if used, was used in Mana's murder as well as Masuno's. Yet, we know this to be false!

VB: Reductio Ad Absurdum

If the Bone Saw was used to kill Mana, then how do you explain the fact that Jerm didn't find it missing in the Infirmary, during his in-depth investigation? It wasn't even mentioned, which leads me to think that this was not the murder weapon! While it does fit the 'small blade' category, we can definitely say it wasn't used.

Which leads me to proficiency. Upon inquiry, Headmaster Cold announced that the capacity of the killer to use a weapon they aren't proficient with, even if the victim is heavily sedated, depends on the weapon itself. In other words, a heavier weapon, such as a Bone Saw, would mean that someone not proficient with Sharp weapons could have pulled off the murder. Now, we know that there are only a few possible murder weapons left.

VB: Tsurugi's Investigation

Seeing as the murder weapon wasn't taken from the Infirmary, or the Storage Room, the most likely alternative option is the Kitchen.. Which means that our murder weapon was most likely... a cleaver/kitchen knife! And, we know that the kitchen knife isn't considered a heavy weapon, which can only mean one thing.

The killer must be proficient with Sharp Weapons!

If we take the previous to be true, then we know that Jerm and Codeskull are INNOCENT.

Check!

Unfortunately a lot of what I bring to the table is speculation. I never said the same weapon was used on both people. But it WOULD take a great deal of strength to just chop off someone's head- even so roughly. So I can agree with you there.

However, speaking of missing items... did anyone find anything missing from the other rooms? Aside from sedatives.

Hitome you know I investigated the kitchen and found that the knives are in their places :3

That's where you're wrong.

VB: Wet Sink

The cleaver/knife could have easily been cleaned using the sink, which would explain why it's wet when it hadn't been used!

Check.

Looks like miss detective has got the murder weapon all wrapped up and filled in that hole that was bugging all of us have you been reading almost every bit off page in this book.
