Sixth Deduction [Voice;backdated to May 7]

[modernholmes]

I was told once that no one here cared about law enforcement or justice.  Regardless, I need to speak to whoever considers themselves in charge of such a thing.  I have a murder to report.

[Locked to Hattori 60%]
Hattori, meet me at Marshall.  I'm at the crime scene.

I'm the leader of the Watch, what murder are you reporting?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Robin Duvai. He died a few minutes ago near one of Marshall's stairwells. I'm with him now.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Noted. I'll head over there now.

[Conan gives a brief acknowledgment before turning back to Robin's body. He had a murder to solve.]

[Why were there so many idiots in this city?]

Stupid, justice is the key to any modern society. Without justice all you have is anarchy.

[After a few minutes Kresnik arrives at the scene.]

Did you see the person that attacked him?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

[And he will find this tiny seven-year-old inspecting the blood next to the victim. After a moment he looks up, acting as if there was nothing odd about the situation.]

No, it was already too late when I found him. But he left a dying message.

I'm here, Kudo.

[He'll be inspecting the blood surrounding the body of a boy not much older than he appears to be. He doesn't look up, but he speaks in a flat voice as Hattori enters the room.]

The victim's name is Robin Duval. Time of death was approximately twenty minutes ago. Cause of death was most likely exsanguination through these wounds on his neck and arm.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

The evidence is pointing toward a serial killer, yes.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Ridiculous.

[fierybluebird]

You'll have trouble finding evidence.

You don't suppose this Tatsumi guy might be the prime suspect do you?

[Action]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

There is a high possibility. Something seemed strange about his facial expressions while he was writing. A strange reluctance that didn't match the urgency of his hand's movements.

[He still hasn't turned to look away from the body.]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

There is always evidence, if you know where to look.

[westdetective.livejournal.com]

I noticed that when I was tellin' him ta stop.

Alien Hand Syndrome is likely.

There is also the possibility that the attacker threatened him. He kept writing until the moment of his death.

[Action]

[westdetective.livejournal.com]

I consider that too -

How well did ya know him?

Re: [Action]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I spoke to him several times. Both here and in the other Discedo. Like I said, his name was Robin. He was mute and communicated primarily through the text function of the communicators and writing in a notebook. Apart from that he seemed like a normal boy. Quiet. Thoughtful. He was interested in detective work.

I checked for cameras and listening devices already. If it was a threat, the culprit didn't bother monitoring him.

But if th' culprit threatened him, it could'a been harmin' a close friend. Then he wouldn't hafta monitor him, an' Robin wouldn't have any idea if he was tellin' th' truth or not.

Re: [Action]

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

He was close friends with another child named Luke. He never mentioned who his guardians were here.

An' th' wounds. The culprit is tryin' ta mimic a vampire by th' looks of it. Most th' people here prol'ly fell fer it.
