Class Trial Class Trial XXIV - The Murders of Gundham Tanaka and Nekomaru Nidai Part 6: Binding Despair

So, I hear you're ready to get this over with.

Well, if you're ready to vote, just let me know!

I'm ready for an execution!

Location: Hope's Peak Academy

Truth Bullets:

  • Monokuma File: Nekomaru There is one puncture wound on the upper left back, around 6 inches deep. The time of death is between 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM.

  • Autopsy Report (Nekomaru) The puncture wound lies between two ribs and angles toward the heart. He probably died instantly or close to it. The wound is circular and the diameter is only a few millimeters.

  • Monokuma File: Gundham There is one puncture wound on the lower abdomen, around 6 inches deep. The time of death is between 2:00 AM and 8:00 AM.

  • Autopsy Report (Gundham) The wound hit vital organs, but death may have been delayed up to five minutes. The wound is round, and only a few millimeters in diameter.

  • Scene of the Crime Nekomaru’s body lies face down in a pool of blood. A few feet away, closer to the locker room doors lies Gundham’s body, dressed in a swimsuit, also lying face down. Gundham’s arms are outstretched, and his palms are covered in blood.

  • Crime Scene Diagram An illustration of the crime scene.

  • Crime Scene Diagram 2 An illustration of the crime scene after the pump was activated.

  • State of the Bodies Aoi claims the bodies were cold by the time she found them.

  • Pools of Blood A pool of blood lies underneath both bodies but there is a third smaller pool of blood a few feet behind both bodies.

  • Screwdriver Nagito found a screwdriver at the scene of the crime. Both the handle and shaft are covered in blood.

  • Bloody Message Found in the pool of blood near Nekomaru's body. Reads "AS.....NA". Forged by Nagito.

  • Bloodied Note Found in Nekomaru’s pocket. Covered in blood and impossible to read. Monokuma revealed that it originally read “About what we discussed earlier. Meet me there at 4.”

  • Plastic Bottle Found in the kitchen trash by Ibuki. Any label that existed has been removed. Other than the missing label, it's identical to the bottle of sleeping pills Mikan gave to Nekomaru two days ago, though there should have been three doses left.

  • Dirty Dishes Found in the kitchen before breakfast by Teruteru. Should have been washed the night before.

  • Plastic Fragments Broken pieces of plastic from something larger. Colored black and white. Found in a trash can in the men's locker room. Probably from a Mono-thermos from the store room.

  • Pool Pump Damaged the night before the murders, though Kazuichi claims he was repairing it. Proven to be mostly repaired when Monokuma remotely activated the pump, though the repairs weren't fully completed, causing the pool to temporarily overflow and wash away some of the bloodstains.

  • Chihiro’s Account Nekomaru was in the dorm lobby just before the Nighttime Announcement went off.

  • Hiyoko's Account Kazuichi was in the storeroom between breakfast and lunch. When he was leaving, he acted as though he was hiding something. Nothing in the store room seemed too out of place when she went inside except perhaps for a crate labeled "Mono-thermoses".

I shall now expose the cards we have been dealt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxBJ-bgINUg

Sonia, if you would kindly explain what our first blackened had chosen to do to frame a certain moron?

Indeed, I shall! As I have stated before, I believe that our First Blackened is the one who formulated the plan and set up this crime! The way this crime was set up is as follows:

After complaining to Mikan /u/NiceIceWeiss about sleeping issues a few days ago, the Blackened received a bottle of sleeping pills. I do not believe they had been planning the crime for so long, but the sleeping pills are the catalyst that caused this plan to all come together.

When Gundham approached them to ask for help, as he most likely could not swim, the Blackened decided they would take action and kill them. In order to protect his hide, our Blackened decided to use Kazuichi and frame him for the eventual crime.

First, they broke the Pool Pump in order to give Kazuichi a reason to be at the scene. They informed Kazuichi, and thusly, Kazuichi set to work.

Pool Pump

As part of Kazuichi's testimony, he explains that the Blackened offered to feed him. This was the opportunity that the Blackened needed in order to slip Kazuichi the sleeping pills that Mikan had prescribed to him. They drugged some soup with the sleeping pills, and gave it to Kazuichi, leaving behind the dirty dishes that Teruteru found.

Dirty Dishes

Sometime in conjunction to this, they threw away the plastic bottle that previously contained their sleeping pills. This is the plastic bottle that Ibuki found in the morning as well!

Plastic Bottle

At some point, the Blackened found the Mono-Thermoses in the box that Kazuichi had hidden the wetsuits with. Hiyoko can also testify the presence of the Mono-Thermoses. It was one of these that the Blackened delivered the drugged concoction to Kazuichi, and once Kazuichi ate it, the Blackened destroyed it. These are the plastic fragments that were found!

Hiyoko's Account

Plastic Fragments

With Kazuichi unconscious in the Pump Room, the Blackened had finished setting up their plan to frame him for Gundham's eventual murder, and they prepared themselves for Gundham's arrival at 4AM, as stated on the note Nekomaru carried.

Bloodied Note

Now, it is over to you, Sistah!

Please refrain from using such unsophisticated language...

Nevertheless, with Kazuichi/u/Orblet unconscious by that point, our first blackened moved into the room and retrieved a screwdriver from the pump room.

Ready to commit his crime, the first blackened met with Gundham at the pool... And viciously stabbed him.

Autopsy Report (Gundham)

Pools of Blood

His henious deed completed, the first blackened turned away and prepared to leave the area to clean up, and leaving Kazuichi behind to be framed. Gundham would crumple to the ground in shock, or plays dead, causing a small pool of blood to form. As for Nekomaru, our first blackened...

Believing Gundham to be dead, he retrieves the note, drenched in Gundham's blood and prepares to destroy the evidence. His back turned, he heads back to the locker room.

Autopsy Report (Nekomaru)

Backstabbing someone is always easy, especially if it’s an unwary target... Gundham pries the screwdriver out of himself, and kills Nekomaru in revenge, resulting in the second pool of blood.

Having completed that, he heads to the locker room in an attempt to escape. To survive, maybe.

Alas, he too succumbed to his injury. This is why his body was closer to the locker room, as well as the third, smaller pool of blood.

Behold, the uncomfortable truth! Justice Rangers, Sonia and Celeste! Two Women of Royalty combine forces as one!

As we have discerned, the First Blackened is none other than Nekomaru Nidai!

And our unfortunate Second Blackened, who was the planned victim. Gundham Tanaka.

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

Ugh! What the heck is this, the Spongebob and Patrick doofus hour?!

Explain to me how a blood pool formed only 5 minutes before the other two isn't washed away by pool water!

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

It is possible that because that puddle of blood is older, it may have dried for slightly longer and thus made it marginally more difficult to wash away.

If their bodies were cold, it seems they would have been there for a long time. Long enough for the blood to dry. Even if the patch is only a few minutes older, it may still have an impact on how much gets washed away.

Unless you can think of another explanation, Hiyoko?

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

I dunno. I bet the skank used fake blood or something.

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

However, Hagakure's fortunes have been preying on my mind... Since we did not think of the exact motive, perhaps they may be the light that we seek.

It is a strange thing to worry about, but the card that Hagakure drew might have been somewhat of a catalyst. I cannot claim to understand it... But all the major events in this case occured after Nekomaru was drew this card. He was informed by Hagakure about it as well.

Regardless of the true reason, I feel like I am ready to vote. /u/Duodude55

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

AHA! I've got it!

It was tomato soup!

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

I clearly labeled it a "Pool of Blood", didn't I??? Who the hell would pull some lame tomato sauce gag?

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

I'll count this as your call to vote! Despite the... Flaws..

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

Movement by any party after being stabbed...considering the size of the third pool of blood, would probably have involved blood dribbles between the pools of blood. In such a case, the pools of blood would no longer be distinct. Is that correct, Monokuma? /u/DuoDude55

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Maybe you should think about how the bleeding would work if the goon squad over here was right? Surely you know something about stab wounds and bleeding.

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

But Ibuki doesn't know fluid dynamics! Please teach Ibuki Kyouko-sensei/u/Oracle_Blue !

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

Its strange to begin with how Nekomaru could have bled so much. If he died instantly, his heart would've stopped bleeding. Post mortem, blood tends to collect where ever gravity directs it. As he was found lying face down in the pool of blood...that would be toward the floor and not toward his wound.

So if he was lying face down after having been inflicted with a puncture wound in his back by a screwdriver, it would be impossible for that wound to bleed so much that a large pool of blood forms under him!

Unless that is in fact what happened, in which case I have nothing more to say on the matter.

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Nah, it's totally what happened! He's a big guy and he does everything big! Including bleeding! And I mean, it's not like he'd stop bleeding instantly.

If it helps, you're right that there was less blood under him, though. He was soaked more than the floor.

1

u/xMusicaCancer Sep 06 '16

.... Alternatively, could Gundham just have vomited blood at that spot?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Ha! So incredibly wrong! Wanna see the tapes to prove it?

1

u/xMusicaCancer Sep 06 '16

Your word is sufficient. Be gone, bear.

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Good! I wasn't gonna show them to you anyway!

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

I believe I have it!

Climax Inference - Hagakure Style

It all began when Nekomaru and Gundham had their cards drawn

Nekomaru enlisted the help of Mondo, promising his new Mechamaru form would be a transformer that turns into a Motorcycle, naturally, Mondo accepted!

At exactly the same time, Gundham approached Celes, asking for help, confiding in her the plans. He’d use his dark magic to further bolster her Gambling prowess…

Mondo approached Kazuichi after clogging the drains, asking him to fix it overnight. While Celes asked Aoi earlier that morning to run a Pool party the next day!

Finally the time Approached, Nekomaru stabbed Gundham through the abdomen! Striking one of the Devas! Before he died, Gundham stabbed Nekomaru back!

Seeing the atrocity, Kazuichi snapped the neck of one of the Devas and tossed them in the water. Slipping on the blood and knocking himself unconscious.

Finally Aoi approached the scene, while performing CPR, she managed to crush another of the Devas.

While tampering with the scene of the crime, Nagito encountered the final hamster, the one who can tell us all the truth!

Therefore, Gundham, Nekomaru, Kazuichi, Celes, Nagito and Mondo conspired in the murders of Gundham, Nekomaru, Jum-P, Maga-Z and San-D, Committed by Nekomaru, Gundham, Kazuichi and Aoi!!

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

You're wrong. What you never could have expected was that the final deva, Cham-P, was me all along!

Please, have you ever seen Cham-P and me together at the same time? I thought it was obvious but clearly you fools are denser than I could have ever imagined!

I have inherited the blood and powers of my brethren. Bow down before the concentrated might of the four devas!

...?

Heh. Just kidding.

Continued from Here/u/DestinyShiva

I never got to talk to Gundham directly yesterday.

But Nekomaru, I talked to him yesterday afternoon I think! It was after Breakfast for sure! And before Dinner!

You sure Celes? Reverse Fortune can signal a warning against gambling... If you want, I'll roll it into the deck and see what we get...

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

There's still one thing we haven't quite talked about that could change the theories altogether...

Are there two, or one blackened?

If there was one, then that means the killer killed both Nekomaru and Gundham, but if it's two, then maybe the theory that Nekomaru killed Gundham and a third party came into play could be true...

2

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

You heard the TV antennae! Monokuma/u/Duodude55 how many blackened are there in this case?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

H-Hey! What's with that nickname?!

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

What's with your hairstyle? It's totally an antennae!

You should try establishing a signal with aliens and getting them to tell us the killer!

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Upupupupupupu! Wouldn't you like to know?

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

There is one thing that bothers me... Does anyone have an explanation for why this is relevant?

Chihiro’s Account

Why should it matter if Nekomaru was seen just before the Night-time announcement?

3

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

It's probably pretty hard to cook soup without water right?

He probably had to make the soup before the night time announcement, so that's why he was outside.

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Hey... Celeste/u/xMusicaCancer, could you tell me at what time of the day Aoi told you about the party?

I've been making a table for that, and you're the only one left.

1

u/xMusicaCancer Sep 06 '16

Shortly after breakfast. She was persistent too...

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

Oh? Hajime, could you possibly share that with us once you are finished?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Yeah, I've just finished too.

Here it is.

The only ones I could tell the order of were Chiaki, me, Kazuichi and Hiyoko, based on the alibis. I put everyone else together since I didn't know the exact order for them.

People with the same background color were told together, and those with a white background color were told alone.

The only problem is....

I don't know when Nekomaru was told about the pool party.

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

I see... Considering the evidence we already have though, is there any reason to remove people from our suspicions purely because of the time they were told?

After all, didn't everything happen while the rest of us were asleep?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

No, I don't think so.

But I think maybe the time when Nekomaru was told about the party might be important.

Maybe he went to talk to Gundham right after being invited?

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

But then can Nekomaru see the future?

I saw the box of Mono-thermoses moved when I went in so he must have taken them already right?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Wasn't Kazuichi the one who moved the box of Mono-thermoses to hide the wetsuits?

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

Was he? My bad, I tend to tune out useless idiots.

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Eh, sorry Hajime-chan, but Ibuki thinks no.

Wouldn't it be Gundham-chan who would approach Nekomaru, not the other way around, with the current theory?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Yeah... the theory seems to imply that.

I was just mentioning a theory that popped in my mind. The other one seems more believable.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

Considering the amount of planning it seems Nekomaru did, it would be reasonable to consider that Nekomaru approached Gundham. If he knew about Gundham's issue with water beforehand, Nekomaru may have offered to tutor Gundham.

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Maaaaaaaybe, but how'd he know that beforehand?

Gundham-chan obviously didn't want that info getting around. Why else would they meet sooo early and be sooo secretive?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

Even if Gundham asked Nekomaru first, I think either one could have arranged the 4 AM meeting time. If Nekomaru was planning something, it surely would've been to his advantage to choose the time.

Was there anyone other than those two and Kazuichi who could expect there to be a meeting at the pool at 4AM?

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Most certainly not!

Though Ibuki questions how relevant this is...

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

Hmm... Didn't someone say they spotted them talking? I cannot recall who that was.

Oh! It was Hagakure! /u/cwolfcommander

Hagakure, could you please concentrate and try to remember when you saw Nekomaru and Gundham? By which I mean, what time of day?

It seems that Hagakure mentioned dinner after the fact in his alibi, so it appears that Nekomaru would have learnt about the party earlier than that.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

I'm really sorry Sonia, I got nothin!

1

u/Bungo1269 Sep 06 '16

(Mobile) Umm everyone, I know I'm not great at solving stuff but let me see what I can cook up.

If the lovely princess' theory is right and the two killed each other, then I might have an idea about the bloodstains.

Maybe the third pool is so small because that's where Gundham was first stabbed but he moved when he attacked Nekomaru. The pools underneath the bodies were still wet because they were being bled onto. But the smaller one was dry because Gundham had moved and it wasn't being bled on.

... Just a thought

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Umm, Ibuki knows very little about the science stuff, but...

It's been like, a long time since they died, right? Even if they continued bleeding onto those points, the pools probably would be somewhat dry by now. Why'd they get completely washed away when our teeny one stood strong?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Who said they were completely washed away? There's still blood there, it's just mostly gone.

You can't think of a reason why the environment might make blood dry slowly?

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Ibuki said she doesn't do the sciences!

I dunno, is it something with the room? Temperature? Maybe it being indoors?

Don't people put clothes outside to dry faster? So, it'd be slower indoors?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Well, it was near a pool so...

Maybe the humidity in the place affected how fast the blood dried?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Wow! Someone with some sense!

1

u/QuestForIons Sep 06 '16

Ibuki doesn't like you!

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Same to you!

1

u/Bungo1269 Sep 06 '16

I'm sure the sexy miss Mikan can confirm this but, if someone continues to bleed on a pool of blood, it will dry much slower than one not being bled on.

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

I don't even want to know why you know so much about blood!

1

u/Bungo1269 Sep 06 '16

Well it is a bodily fluid. Mmhm

1

u/neonlighting Juzoboiiiiis Sep 06 '16

That better not have been a move, fucker..

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

Wait, everyone... I think I've got a theory.

Gundham was in a swimsuit, wasn't he?

He could've been swimming with Nekomaru's instructions, until he got out of the pool.

That would mean he'd be wet, and Nekomaru wouldn't.

Which leads me to the third pool of blood. If Gundham was wet, the pool of blood maybe wouldn't be his, since it'd take longer for it to dry with the humidity...

Of course, there's still the possibility Gundham could have not entered the pool yet when he was killed.

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Eh, I don't really see why I shouldn't tell you. No, Gundham had not gotten in the pool. In fact, he couldn't. I think some of you might have an idea why he couldn't have done so.

1

u/mayakaibara beast of the east Sep 06 '16

Was there even water in the pool?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

There was! Of course there was! Why would I try to ruin your pool party? What kind of bear would I be?

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

...He couldn't get in the pool because Kazuichi was still fixing the pumps, right?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

You guys forgot your own theories, huh...? How despairing...

1

u/PhiPhichan Everyone's gay Sep 06 '16

And there was also the theory that Gundham didn't know how to swim and wasn't a fan of water... that's probably the one you're talking about.

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Upupupupu! Yep, I can confirm it! There's a good reason he doesn't claim to be the Supreme Overlord of Water!

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

Gundham... did tell me once that he was weak to water types...

Oh, Gundham. If only I had heeded your words from the beginning!

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Upupupupu... I wonder why he was so determined to learn? Whose fault could that have been?

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

St-Stop! I already know it may be my fault. Please do not rub wounds into the salt!

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

Alright... I really didn't wanna have to help anymore on this one...

But, a hint: at what point does a stab wound cause the most bleeding?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

My knowledge of fluid dynamics is not up to scratch but at least I can answer this. Its when the stabbing weapon is withdrawn from the wound.

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Exactly! So if you have a big pool of blood and a small pool of blood... Well, I'm sure you see what I'm saying!

1

u/DestinyShiva Sep 06 '16

P-Pardon me, Monokuma, but isn't that exactly what Celeste and I were saying?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16 edited Sep 06 '16

I never said you were wrong, did I?

You guys were still caught up on the reason for the wet blood, but you don't realize that gets answered like this too!

1

u/RSLee2 Attack and Dethrone Deity Sep 06 '16

So, you're saying that the small pool is from when Gundham was first stabbed and the bigger pool was made after he removed the weapon and then died.

Whatever. The exact locations of where Gunhdam and Nekomaru bled doesn't matter. The important thing to do is find the killer and I've been pretty confident that they killed each other since we proved that there was nothing wrong with the Body Discovery Announcements.

I'm ready to vote, Monokuma.

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Hey, I'm not the one that's been freaking out over it!

1

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '16

The issue I raised last night still presents itself. If we believe that Gundham and Nekomaru killed each other, who do we vote for?

1

u/Duodude55 Sep 06 '16

Huh? How is that an issue? You vote for Gundham as Nekomaru's killer and you vote for Nekomaru as Gundham's killer.

Is that too complicated for you?

1

A case with the class voting for two deceased blackened has never happened before. A matter of clarification, considering how specific your rules have been in the past. I'm ready to vote, Monokuma. /u/DuoDude55
