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.

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.

I consider that too -

How well did ya know him?

Re: [Action]

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.

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.

Aaa, from the detail in the wounds, this was obviously a deliberate attempt to mimic such a story. It would reinforce the popular belief of monsters in the city.

That seems ta be th' case. We should figger out who this Tastumi guy is. It's our best lead.

Re: [Action]

I haven't heard that name before. Our best bet is checking with some of the long-time residents.

Right. Anythin' else I should be aware of?

I don't have to tell you to be careful.
