CW/TW: decapitation, blood

Looking at the sight made me sick.

So much blood, the strong scent of iron intoxicated my nose.

What's even worse that...she had no head anymore.

Amy Chika, the Ultimate Cowgirl, was dead. Hidden behind a box to hide the fact that she no longer had a head.

Monkomi popped up.

"Urgh, that's a lot of blood. It would be a pain to clean," he said.

"Just give us the File already," Robin said.

"Alright fiiiine!" Monkomi grumbled.

Everyone looked sick to their stomach at the sight of Amy's dead body. While we have seen many types of deaths before, this one takes the cake for being the most sickening sight. And that's not even counting the executions.

Pull it together Kuro! I need to pull through...for all of us, I thought, shaking myself.

[Investigation start!]

I looked at the Monkomi File that was provided to us.

>Victim Name: Amy Chika

>COD: decapitation

>TOD: 3 pm

>Height: 5'4

>Weight: 110 lbs

The victim appears to have been nearly choked to death before the clean slice that ripped her head. This caused a large bloody mess on her chair and the place where she was set

I turned off the File.

The place where she was set? So that means that she didn't die behind the box. I wonder why? I thought.

Next up is to investigate the body.

...

Not that there would be any important to look at. Or if there was, it would have been covered in blood.

"Looks like there are a few scratches here," Toshino muttered.

"Huh?" I tilted my head at this.

"According to the Monkomi File, it claims that her head was slice clean off. But it also claims that she was nearly choked to death. So that would mean that the thing that killed her moved to a more suitable place to...you know," Toshino explained.

Right! If she was almost choked to death, then it would have been more noticeable. Something must have moved to make it more easier to d-decapitate her, I thought.

I went over to the bloody chair.

"So was this her chair?" I muttered.

I frowned at it.

There was a large splash on the head of the chair but only droplets on the armrest.

Maybe this is where she got killed, I thought.

I felt something sticky fall onto my hand.

I glanced at it.

Blood...

I looked up and almost threw up.

Staring at me, hanging onto a string, was Amy's cold, dead eyes on her decapitated head.

That would confirm my suspicion that she died while sitting on her chair.

How tough is that string even?! I thought.

"H-hey Kuro. Do y-you think we c-can lower her head d-down so we can s-see the string?" Hirohito asked.

I took a shaky breath.

"Yeah...I think we should," I said.

"You're the boss!" Monkomi shouted, making me jump.

He dropped Amy's head onto the chair, making a squashing sound.

"G-gross!" Hirohito shut his eyes and turned away.

I reached my hand out to remove the string from Amy's neck(?).

It was a metal string and it was nearly drenched in crimson red blood (pink in our eyes).

Whoever the culprit is must have really wanted her to die painfully first before going the faster way, I thought.

I dropped the string before feeling a twinge of pain on my fingers.

I looked at them and saw that I managed to cut myself ever so slightly. Not a lot to cause some actual damage to my fingers but enough to hurt.

Guess that's how Amy's head was able to come off and the scratches on her neck, I thought.

"Hey what's in the box?" I heard Yuki ask.

I turned around to see him and Robin examining the box.

"Nothing. It was probably a place to hide Amy's body. But even then, it was still wide open. In fact, it was the first thing that we saw once we returned back," Robin noted.

"Maybe they were in a rush and decided to place her there?" Yuki suggested.

"Maybe...well she died at three and it's nearly five minutes after three. So it's possible that the culprit had four or less minutes to place her there. And had to pretend that they were logged in with the rest of us," Robin explained.

"So they had to be one of the first people to take their headset off!" Yuki said.

"That's a possibility," Robin said, though he didn't look quite sure about it.

"Yeesh, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of clues here. Not enough to present in the trial when it comes to it," Ichigo said.

"True. We don't even have a ground base to even eliminate who isn't the culprit to narrow it down," Toshiaki sighed.

!

No. Hold on, I got it!

"You're wrong," I said.

"Umm what do you mean?" Toshiaki asked.

"We do have one. It's when we're in the system," I explained.

"Oh right! Well it had to be someone who was alone. Hey you wandered away from our group did you Kuro?" Toshiaki asked.

"I found him sleeping in a box. Maybe a full hour or two," Kana butted in.

"This isn't the trial so don't start pointing fingers," Toshino said.

"Right sorry about that," Toshiaki scratched the back of his head.

I turned to Kana.

"What were you even arguing about with Amy?" I asked.

"Well I came up to her, offering that we should stick together. She got pissed at me and started yelling. Of course you must have heard it all," Kana explained.

"Only that you couldn't be trusted and that you...well the end part of that argument," I said.

"Oh...I see. Well she did say something that struck me as odd. She said that she was getting out of here no matter what and how this was the last straw. I tried questioning her further on it but she refused to say. Then after what you heard, she left and we went on our separate ways," Kana explained.

"Last straw?" I asked.

"Yeah...that's all I know sorry," Kana apologized.

"That's helpful don't worry about it," I assured her.

"Hey g-guys. L-look what I f-found," Hirohito said from Amy's chair.

He was holding a wrench in hand.

"A wrench? What's that got to do with the case?" Ichigo asked.

"I'm not sure. I thought it looked important," Hirohito explained.

"Wait what's next to it?" Yuki asked.

Next to it was a tool box but it wasn't filled with tools. It only held one thing.

"Is that...POISON!!!" Toshiaki shouted.
