Chapter 16 - He knows
No body announcement... They were the first to find him.
"O-oh my god.." Stevie covered her mouth.
Ray sighed and turned to the door,"Akira! Dai! We found a body!"
Within seconds, both Akira and Daiko ran in. Both of them paused at the sight of Dimitri's corpse. Then they heard it.
"A body has been discovered! All students must head to the library immediately!"
Stevie rubbed her eyes and bent down near Dimitri's body as everyone entered, the last inside being Scorpius and Jay. Well, everyone except Kira and Ash.
"Not him.." Scott mumbled to himself as Scorpius put a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh well." Monoyagi shrugged as she appeared,"Now, here's your Monoyagi Files!"
And just like that, she began handing out tablets and the investigation had begun. Stevie's first thought was to read the file.
'Victim: Dimitri Suzuki
Time of Death: *Redacted*
Where: Library
Discovered by: Stevie Hendrix, Ray Luciano and Akira Satoshi
Discovered at: Approximately 9:36 am
Cause of Death: Blood loss due to multiplestab wounds; other injuries are a slash across his throat and a bruised shoulder'
"Uh, goat? You forgot to out the time of death." Jay pointed out.
"Oh, I didn't forget! That's on purpose, it would give away the killer." Monoyagi hummed before she disappeared.
"Great, so helpful." Scorpius sighed.
Stevie started to check out Dimitri's body, soaked in a puddle of crimson blood. His hair felt... Odd but maybe he hadn't showered? No... Dimitri was very tidy. Maybe it was blood?
"Hey, I found something useful." Ray walked over, a bloodstained knife in his hands.
"Where did you find it?" Jeff asked.
"Underneath a bookshelf, terribly hidden." Ray shook his head before peering over Stevie's shoulder,"Damn, it seems like he's been dead for a while."
"Unfortunately." Daiko nodded slowly,"And it seems like he didn't, well, die very quickly."
"So he bled out? That's kinda fucked up." Ray let out a low chuckle.
"He didn't deserve this." Terishi pulled down her mask.
"No one deserves it. Not even a... Crime Boss or a Dictator. Well, maybe a dictator." Ray murmured.
"Well, from this we can pretty much confirm that he was killed by the knife you found." Stevie pointed.
"So, who is it?" Jay inquired,"And where's everybody else?"
"Dimitri." Akira pointed to the body on the floor,"And the other two are probably making out."
"Yeah.." Ray sighed.
"Oh well." Akira shrugged, starting to look around.
"Alright, who wants to accuse before I say who actually did it, blow everyone's minds and break Scott's heart?" Ray asked, looking around at the other eleven students.
"Jeff." Scott pointed.
"For fuck's sake, it's not me." Jeff crossed his arms,"Dimitri and I were actually quite-"
Jay made a face at Akira, finally catching on to what she said,"Making out? Really?"
"Mhm, Ash and Kira are totally into each other." She nodded.
"Yup, probably flirting and doing more disgusting lovey-dovey shit while they're at it. Anyway, pzzzt! It ain't Jeff." Ray chuckled.
"Damnit!" Scott snapped his fingers.
"Hey!" Jeff pointed.
"Anyone else?" Ray asked, sending a quick reassuring grin Stevie's way.
"Hm, that girl." Scott pointed to Yūrei who just glared at him.
"Scott, do you give a shit about her? Think about who you were just hanging out with." Ray sighed, getting bored.
Scott turned to Akira who just blinked and held up her lighter.
"Naw, I refuse!" Scott pointed,"No again, you're fucking wae me!"
"Seriously, who did it!? I want to get this over with so I can sleep before the three horrors wake up!" Jay asked, frustrated and scowling,"Somehow and owl, a cat and a weasel managed to get into my dorm and are living harmoniously because of a truce for destroying my property!"
"I guess you're gonna have to find out during the trial." Monoyagi hummed as she popped up.
"I just have to say one thing. You ain't slick, 'Blackened'." Ray gave the room a dark, malicious grin.
"Save it for the trial." Monoyagi pointed at him.
"Yeah, yeah, it's all about the trial, innit?" Ray rolled his eyes.
"That's the point!" Monoyagi told him.
"Fair enough, can we get this trial over with?" Ray sighed.
"Of course, just head to the elevator!"
"Alright." Ray started walking towards the elevator.
Jay began walking towards it as well,"The sooner I get some rest, the better."
The elevator ride was, well, just as bad as the last time. Nobody spoke. They couldn't. What were they supposed to say? Jay was practically asleep as they leaned against the side of the elevator, their eyes half-closed. That's when the elevator dinged and the doors opened.
"Well, good luck everyone." Stevie sighed.
"Mhm.." Jay opened their eyes a crack and stepped out of the elevator.
