Mesonak: Oh Kahi. I hope you’re ready for what is to come.

Kahi: Don’t worry, Meso. I’m sure Eljay will help me out on this… I think.

Mesonak: You’d better be right.

Var: Well, Kahi, I say good luck to you. If things go right, Meso won’t have to be convicted at all.

Kahi: I sure hope not.

Prpl: Well good luck, scrubs.

Mesonak: Kahi, there is one thing I need to tell you.

Kahi: What is that?

Mesonak: Be VERY careful in that courtroom. Risebell has something up his sleeve, I know he does.

Kahi: I’ll be able to take care of that.

Mesonak: Right but he may have some incriminating evidence against me. Plus, I don’t think you have everything you needed to win this trial.

Kahi: Well, I can’t go back and investigate now.

Mesonak: I know, I know. Kahi, just do the best you can.

Kahi: That’s what I intend to do.

Bailiff: Alright, time to let you guys in. Ready?

Kahi: Ready as always, legomaster.

Venom: Order! Order in the court! Court is now in session for the trial of Mesonak vs. The State of New York on the murder of former moderator Nyran. Is the Prosecution ready?

http://i.imgur.com/2E1IFzh.jpg
Eljay: Of course.

Venom: What about the defense?

@Leoxandar

Aye aye, yer honor.

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: Of course. We’re still going with that penalty system this time, right?

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: You know me well enough to know I’m going to keep it. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Kahi: Makes sense.

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg
Eljay: Wait, before we start, I want you to know this, Kahi. I don’t want you leading the court at ANY time whatsoever. If you can’t back up your claims, the double penalty will be in order.

http://i.imgur.com/yOKgbnN.jpg
Kahi: Double penalty?!

Eljay: That is correct.

http://i.imgur.com/nviR25N.jpg
Kahi: (Oh no no no… He’s going to strangle me so I can’t save Mesonak. But why this all of a sudden? Why does Eljay want me to fail?)

http://i.imgur.com/F9aFCPC.jpg
Eljay: You’re starting to get sweaty, Kahi. Do you need a towel?

@Leoxandar

No, I need victory and money.

Kahi: No no, I’m okay. (Not really…)

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg
Eljay: Alright, then. Let us bring up our first witness, Waj. He’s going to give us the rundown on all the facts and evidence.

http://i.imgur.com/N4qr0sV.jpg
Waj: Hello, everyone.

Eljay: State your name and occupation.

http://i.imgur.com/qKjuTwC.jpg
Waj: I’m Waj, and I’m a Moderator. In justice we trust!

Eljay: Give us your testimony, why don’t you?

http://i.imgur.com/wwDtzKb.jpg
Waj: It was around 2:20-2:30 PM on February 16th when Nyran was murdered by a single gunshot to the chest by Mesonak’s umbrella gun he uses as the infamous Miru*DeMask! After he murdered Nyran in cold blood, he stuffed his body into the closet. This all took place during the blackout when Risebell was stealing the Quake Beast set.

@Leoxandar

If Nyran was shot by the umbrella gun used by Miru*DeMask, than how did he get it if Risebell was the culprit?

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg

Eljay: That’s off-topic. Penalty for you!

-2 points!

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: (Hmmm… Maybe I should ask about the details of the case first…)

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: Can we see the autopsy report?

http://i.imgur.com/N4qr0sV.jpg
Waj: Sure.

Nyran’s Autopsy: Shot twice in the chest. Died from getting shot in the heart. Got into a struggle. Estimated death was around 2:22 PM. Died on Febuary 16th.

@Baldric

Where is this umbrella gun if I may ask detective Waj?

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: Can we see the murder weapon?

http://i.imgur.com/4t6tv6E.jpg
Waj: Sure. Also, we found the bullet that killed Nyran. It’s right here.

Kahi: Hmm…

http://i.imgur.com/CT7as7F.jpg
Kahi: This autopsy is peculiar. It showcases a struggle, Waj.

http://i.imgur.com/N4qr0sV.jpg
Waj: Indeed it does. Take a further look into it, if you want.

Kahi: Hmm… Can I see this umbrella gun?

Waj: Most certainly. As you can see, it looks like a normal umbrella, HOWEVER, this compartment can open up to reveal that it can shoot small bullets, like the one that killed Nyran.

Umbrella: Contains the fingerprints of Mesonak on the outside. However, a secret slot reveals a bullet inside the lethal umbrella. Fires only once at a time.

Bullet: Used to kill Nyran. Two of these were found at the scene, one still lodged into the chest of the victim. Interestingly, no fingerprints.

@Baldric

The autopsy states that Nyran died to two gunshot wounds, not one.

http://i.imgur.com/nviR25N.jpg
Kahi: Waj, there is a HUGE inconsistency with your testimony and this autopsy!

http://i.imgur.com/4t6tv6E.jpg
Waj: Which is?

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: The fact that Nyran took TWO bullets instead of one!

http://i.imgur.com/PwqsEpk.jpg
Waj: Oh right…

http://i.imgur.com/LZRJNHt.jpg
Eljay: WHAT? Waj, why didn’t you say that to BEGIN with?

http://i.imgur.com/H5N89wm.jpg
Waj: No idea… I must have mis-spoken.

Eljay: Whatever… The evidence is still sufficient. Carry on with the cross-examination.

@Baldric

“The closet” can you elaborate a little detective?

Waj: We found Nyran’s body sadly placed in the closet. Looks like the murderer didn’t have a lot of time.

@Mrblackpants

“Where was the closet?”

http://i.imgur.com/4t6tv6E.jpg
Waj: Behind the police tape at the crime scene.

@Gray_Hewks

What’s with the golden pistol in the bag?

http://i.imgur.com/CT7as7F.jpg
Kahi: Hmm… May I suggest an alternate murder weapon? The umbrella was not the only gun at the scene of the crime.

Eljay: Continue.

http://i.imgur.com/nviR25N.jpg
Kahi: We found this gun at Risebell’s office, and it was confirmed it was his. In this bag we found a gun!

http://i.imgur.com/F9aFCPC.jpg
Eljay: So what? Can you prove it was in the bag during toyfair?

@Baldric

Why can we not recover the second bullet in Nyran’so chest?

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg

Eljay: It’s lodged way too deep, but we do know that it came from the same gun after getting an x-ray showing the size.

Eljay: As you can see, the two holes in the chest are roughly the same size.

@Baldric

Have we confirmed if the bullet came from the umbrella?

http://i.imgur.com/N4qr0sV.jpg
Waj: Indeed. The bullets came from a .35 millimeter gun. The same size used for the umbrella. The ballistics on the bullet show it came from the same umbrella you see here.

@Baldric

If this took place during the blackout, how could Meso have known where Nyran was?

Waj: It’s simple. He was in the security room during the black out.

@Baldric

Was power only cut to the showroom?

Waj: Indeed. But the power also cut the security cameras at the scene of the murder.

@Mrblackpants

How can you shoot a gun so accurately in the dark?

Waj: He didn’t. The lights were still on in the storage room.

@Gray_Hewks

What about the rubber gloves though?

http://i.imgur.com/F9aFCPC.jpg
Eljay: What about 'em? Do you want to get into off-topic discussion in this cross-examination? You will be penalized if you do.

@Baldric

Don’t you find that suspicious Eljay?

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: What I DO find suspicious is why you don’t listen to me. Penalty for you!

http://i.imgur.com/VgSS8JN.jpg
Prpl: Kahi! You need to think! There has to be a way to crack this case! Don’t try to get too far ahead of yourself! Think of the evidence. What seems off?

Kahi: Woah… You’re here Prpl?

http://i.imgur.com/HgX5pgu.jpg
Prpl: Yeah. Got bored of waiting, and since I can’t be a Mod I decided I might as well help!

@Mrblackpants

I heard there was a struggle, what happened?

Waj: Apparently it was bloody! The two gunshots caused the blood to spill out and got on Nyran’s clothes. No prints where found.

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: (Hm… Is there anything wrong with that statement?)

@Baldric

Yep, there should be Meso prints all over the body.

Waj: But remember! Our perpetrator was wearing gloves. It could not have gotten any prints on it.

@Mrblackpants

No figner prits were found but there are prints on the umbrella?

http://i.imgur.com/nviR25N.jpg
Kahi: There’s a problem with this, Waj. If our so-called Mesonak killed Nyran, why was his prints on the umbrella.

http://i.imgur.com/N4qr0sV.jpg
Waj: Simple. He prepared it beforehand without the gloves.

http://i.imgur.com/BqsGxQo.jpg
Kahi: Oh right…

http://i.imgur.com/HgX5pgu.jpg
Prpl: You’re missing something, Kahi. Not a contradiction of testimony. A contradiction in something else…

@Mrblackpants

I feel like i’m missing something really obvious, and when I find it I will feel like an idiot for not noticing it before

http://i.imgur.com/G10r2vd.jpg

Prpl: Well obviously. Think about what Waj just said:

@Chronicler

Waj: Apparently it was bloody! The two gunshots caused the blood to spill out and got on Nyran’s clothes. No prints where found.

Prpl: Does anything go against that notion?

@Triple

If it fires once how can there be two bullet in Nyran’s?

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: HOLD ON A SECOND, Waj! You have a major problem here, and it’s this:

http://i.imgur.com/tuAjReN.png
Kahi: How could the gun fire once if there were TWO bullets in his body?

http://i.imgur.com/hyEnqKT.jpg
Waj: Huh?

http://i.imgur.com/vq2vfwM.jpg
Eljay: WHAT?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: Think about it. The gun was only fired once. That’s impossible with two bullets in the body.

http://i.imgur.com/LZRJNHt.jpg
Eljay: But… I know… Maybe they fired it twice?

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: (I know there’s something that proves that wrong!)

@Triple

Waj: It was around 2:20-2:30 PM on February 16th when Nyran was murdered by a single gunshot to the chest by Mesonak’s umbrella gun

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg

Kahi: (But a single gunshot… That contradicts something we were already told!)

Kahi: (A struggle… When did that struggle really happen?)

@Baldric

Autopsy says two…and there is still a bullet in the chest.

Kahi: (Right! The bullet in the chest. But then Waj said there was a struggle AFTERWORDS. This doesn’t make sense. Which piece of evidence suggests this is not right?)

@Xeros610

If he died from getting shot in the heart… how could he battle afterward?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: So the bleeding out was NOT the cause of death? It was the bullet? Then how did he get into a struggle if he died from a bullet to the heart?

http://i.imgur.com/PwqsEpk.jpg
Waj: Ooh… Maybe you’re right. But where would the wound be to make him bloody?

@PekekoaOfJungle

It kinda looks like he has a cut on his neck.

http://i.imgur.com/CT7as7F.jpg
Kahi: On the neck. He would have been killed by the neck being sliced open.

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: And how would this neck wound be opened?

http://i.imgur.com/yOKgbnN.jpg
Kahi: What?

http://i.imgur.com/B9uz7BM.jpg
Eljay: There wasn’t a weapon to use that, was there? This umbrella is too dull to do it. Something had to slice open his neck. What was it, then?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: (Hmm… Maybe I should examine some evidence. How would a slicing weapon get into Toyfair to begin with?)

@Baldric

Risebell’s bag I think?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: I have an idea where this sharp object could come from. I’ll examine this bag. Rise took it from the crime scene!

Kahi: Aha! There’s a knife in this bag! And… It has blood on it’s other side!

Eljay: Okay. But how do we know this is one of the true weapons?

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: You remember how this bag was found in Risebell’s office, right?

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: From the last trial you mean?

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: Indeed. I believe this knife was used to slice Nyran’s neck open.

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg
Eljay: Hmph. But you have no blood analysis. How do we know that blood doesn’t belong to Risebell?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: Well…

http://i.imgur.com/2E1IFzh.jpg
Eljay: I’ll send it down to the precinct. But for now, we will focus on this trial. We’ll bring that up later when it is absolutely relevant. Any other issues you want to bring up now? Maybe something you talked about earlier?

PENALTIES RESTORED!

@Baldric

If the struggle happened before the murder, shouldn’t there be prints on our supposed assailant or victim?

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: He was wearing gloves. I made sure Waj checked this time! And no, because the attacker seemed to escape before the scene was cleared. We don’t know if they have the right equipment or not.

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: Hmmm… About those gunshots, BTW. How did they both fire?

Eljay: What?

Kahi: Yes. There was only one shot heard.

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg
Eljay: Didn’t we cover this?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: (Did I? If we did maybe I should have expanded upon this.)

@Omega_Tahu

How is it possible that only one was heard, but two were fired? Was one muffled? Or shot at a later time, when the witness was out of earshot?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: Eljay, how many bullets did you say could be loaded in there?

Eljay: Only one. Why do you ask?

http://i.imgur.com/PNFsjkg.jpg
Kahi: I say that’s not the case.

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: What? What do you mean by that?

Kahi: There had to be an additional gun. I’ll prove it to you.

http://i.imgur.com/F9aFCPC.jpg
Eljay: Be my guest, Kahi. But I think you’re just bluffing.

http://i.imgur.com/CT7as7F.jpg
Kahi: I’m not. Take a look at this piece of evidence…

@Mrblackpants

Risebel’s bag has a second gun in it

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: It’s simple. There was a SECOND gun! The perpetrator shot him again with this shot!

http://i.imgur.com/F9aFCPC.jpg
Eljay: Then… Couldn’t he have killed Nyran by reloading the umbrella again?

http://i.imgur.com/BqsGxQo.jpg
Kahi: Ooh… (Could he have?)

@Omega_Tahu

It would take forever to reload, like the muskets used during the american revolution.

Eljay: This is a MODERN piece of tech we’re talking about.

Kahi: (Evidence should be key here.)

@Baldric

Blu’s testimony is the only thing that makes sense here.

http://i.imgur.com/CT7as7F.jpg
Kahi: Eljay, I know you’re wearing a dumb cardboard mask, but you seemed to have forgotten what one of your key witnesses yesterday said when she was testifying.

“It was a minute later when I heard a loud CRACK sound.”

http://i.imgur.com/glHPvjF.jpg
Eljay: …

http://i.imgur.com/vq2vfwM.jpg
Eljay: AUGH! You…

http://i.imgur.com/5lVH2rr.jpg
Venom: Wait a second. Do you mean…

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: I mean that only ONE gunshot was heard that day on the scene of the crime. The “crack” sound was the firing of a gun going through the hallway. Only one bullet was heard.

http://i.imgur.com/LjWvThU.jpg
Eljay: Wait just one second. That doesn’t disprove the gun as the murder weapon. The only thing it disproves is that we have a contradiction of evidence here, Kahi.

http://i.imgur.com/BqsGxQo.jpg
Kahi: Wait, what?

http://i.imgur.com/B9uz7BM.jpg
Eljay: That testimony does not fit with Nyran getting shot. At all, in fact. Plus, you still haven’t explained why Meso’s prints were found on a gun at the scene of the crime. My case is looking pretty solid.

http://i.imgur.com/EGlBI1J.jpg
Venom: Agreed. But this contradiction. It must be approached before I can give a verdict. Kahi gave us an interesting point. The two gunshots could have never happened if the testimony stated that only ONE was heard. How did this occur?

http://i.imgur.com/f1KGgEV.jpg
Kahi: Hmmm… I could come up with a theory, but it sure would be crazy.

Venom: Give me what you got.

@Omega_Tahu

I’m asking because it’s possible for the guns to fire at the same time.

http://i.imgur.com/BqsGxQo.jpg
Kahi: Hmmm… I could come up with a theory, but it sure would be crazy.

http://i.imgur.com/EGlBI1J.jpg
Venom: Give me what you got.

http://i.imgur.com/MT0uzqt.jpg
Kahi: What if TWO guns were fired at once?

Venom: What do you mean?

http://i.imgur.com/nviR25N.jpg
Kahi: It’s simple: Risebell could have used his umbrella and a secondary gun in order to shoot Nyran in the chest. If both went off at the same precise timing, then it would have to work.

Eljay: Hah. But where is the PROOF that this secondary gun even exists?
