Pedro: So, there were two weapons at the scene of the crime. A completely blood coated scalpel, and a ladder with a bloodstain.

Freddy: Not to mention the book.

Pedro: Book?

Freddy: Jeez, did you not notice? The book on the floor. It's bottom pages were bloody.

Pedro: Oh. Sorry...?

Candy: So now we're figuring out which one of the three was the killing weapon?

Freddy: Indeed, kitten.

Emily: Uh... Can you not call her that?

- Injuries
- Bloodied Scalpel
- Book

George: So then, which of the three weapons was the one that killed Delphine?
(Injuries)

Pedro: Maybe the scalpel? The culprit could've slashed her head open!
(Injuries)

Candy: Nah. The file proves that theory completely wrong.
(Injuries)

Pedro: Oh...
(Injuries)

Zoë: That leaves us with the ladder and book.
(Injuries)

Kylie: Wait... I know! The book might not be the weapon!
(Injuries)

Emily: How are you so sure...?
(Injuries)

Kylie: Because the ladder would've dealt a lot of damage! The book probs just fell out...
(Injuries)

Peppa: No, that's wrong!

} BREAK {

Peppa: I understand your thinking Kylie, but there's something about Delphine's body that doesn't line up.

Kylie: Huh?

Freddy: Yep, her head wound. The ladder may have had blood on it's side, but it didn't have any on the top rung.

Rebecca: So that means... The ladder didn't cause that wound?

Peppa: Yeah... And since the scalpel's out of the question, it must've been made by the book.

Danny: You're sailing in the wrong sea!

} BREAK {

Peppa: Huh?

Danny: Ok ok ok, I understand that the scalpel can't be the weapon whatsoever. It makes no sense. But why not the ladder?

Danny: Taking into account Kylie's earlier statement, I think that it's actually your statement that's not lining up!

#/ Rebuttal showdown /#

- Book
- Third Discoverer
- Rebecca's Alibi

Danny: The ladder could've been the killing weapon!

Danny: Kylie's statement from before isn't incorrect, the ladder would've done a lot of damage.

Danny: And because of the blood wound on Delphine's leg, the ladder must've killed her! Not the book.

Danny: Like Kylie said: The book must've fallen out somehow.

(Advance...)

Peppa: If the ladder did kill Delphine...

Peppa: Then the top rungs should've had blood on them!

Danny: The culprit might've cleaned the blood off! Or, bleeding didn't begin until after the hit!

Danny: And also, what exactly about the book makes it the weapon?

Danny: There's nothing that suggests another weapon was used...
/ Rebecca's Alibi /

Peppa: I'll cut through your words!

#/ BREAK /#

Peppa: That's not true Danny. There is something that suggests another weapon was used. Right Rebecca?

Rebecca: Uhm...    Yeah?

Danny: What does Rebecca have to do with this?

Rebecca: That's what I'm questioning. What do I have to do with proving that the book must be the weapon?

Peppa: Rebecca, you heard two loud noises in the night, right?

Rebecca: Yes...?

Peppa: If the ladder was the weapon that killed Delphine, by falling on her...

Peppa: ...Then wouldn't it have made only one of the two loud noises?

George: Oh...     Jeez...

Zoe: Now that I think about it...     This can be proven further by the ladder itself.

Zoe: The ladder can only be used once weapon wise, by pushing it over onto somebody. That would explain the first loud noise Rebecca heard.

Zoe: After pushing it over, it would be rather difficult to pick up the ladder, and use it again as a weapon. Especially in a way that would make another loud noise.

Kylie: Dam...! So the book really must've been the weapon that killed her!

Peppa: Yeah...     And now, we know that it was used in a way that made a loud crash.

Richard: So...    How did the order of events go?

Edmond: I believe something like this. First, the ladder was pushed onto Delphine. Then, she was hit by the book, which killed her.

Emily: So...    She was finished off by the book after the ladder had crushed her...     How was that done loudly?

Peppa: I think that there's a way...

Peppa: How could the book have killed Delphine loudly...?

- It was hit against something repetitively
- It was thrown from a high place
- It was used by Delphine

Peppa: I got it...!

Peppa: The book must've been thrown from the second floor. That would've done the killing blow.

Rebecca: It also makes sense if we consider the second crash...

Candy: Well. Now we understand quite a bit more! Delphine got crushed by the ladder, and was finished off with the book!

Pedro: ...

Zoe: Pedro...? Is something wrong?

Pedro: Yeah...       After hearing all of this confirmation that Delphine was killed by the book, I'm a bit confused about the role of the scalpel in all of this.

Gerald: Oh...     I forgot about that...

Pedro: Why would the scalpel be there?

Kylie: It was probably brought by the killer...

Edmond: If that was the case, then why would the killer resort to using a ladder? 

Danny: Good point...     There must be some kind of explanation for that surgical blade...

Pedro: The scalpel's role in all of this is confusing me...

Emily: If the culprit had used the book to kill Delphine, then why bother bringing a scalpel in the first place...?

George: Maybe the scalpel had been taken by the victim?

Gerald: Really? That doesn't make sense...

Zoe: Well this is quite the stalemate.

Danny: Agreed...     This scalpel is confusing me...

Freddy: Whatever it is, the meaning of the scalpel being there must be something that wouldn't be expectable. A real shocker...

Pedro: Man...    This is gonna take a while...
(Dark Fabric)

Peppa: Dammit...     This doesn't make sense to me...

Peppa: Although, George did mention something...

Peppa: ...

Peppa: ...Wait.

Peppa: Maybe...     We've been looking at this wrong...

} BREAK {

Peppa: Guys...      I think that there is an explanation for the scalpel.

Kylie: Wh-What? How?!

Danny: Yeah, we barely have anything that explains it's purpose! And you know why it's there?

Peppa: I believe that I know. But...     You're gonna have to trust me here, ok?

Richard: Sure thing.

Pedro: Phew...     Fair enough...

Peppa: ...What if Delphine brought the scalpel?

Freddy: What...?

Peppa: The killer obviously couldn't have brought it. There's only one other person that's involved with the case that much to bring vital evidence like that...       the victim.

George: In other words...     Delphine is the only person that could've brung it.

Rebecca: ...

Edmond: ...

Candy: ... 

Gerald: ...

Richard: ...

Zoe: ...

Peppa: The whole room went silent. It was like...      We'd witnessed another death.

Peppa: Do they not believe me...?

Freddy: ...Peppa.

Peppa: Yes?

Freddy: ...I just realised something that strengthens your hipothesis.

George: Huh?

Freddy: It has to do with the letter. At first, I thought that the culprit had used French in it so that it would be easier for Delphine to understand, but now...

Freddy: ...I believe it's more likely that Delphine wrote the letter herself!

Pedro: WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???

Edmond: That makes a lot of sense...      It'd be easier for someone to involve parts of their native language into a letter written in a second language.

Candy: So...     Delphine was the one who stole the scalpel AND wrote the letter?

Freddy: If Peppa's estimate is true, then that means...

Richard: It wasn't a scenario where Delphine was lured out and murdered...

Kylie: ...But a scenario...      Where Delphine was trying to pull off her own murder!

Peppa: ...

Danny: Delphine...       Why?

Pedro: Yeah, why? Why would you bother trying to kill someone?!

Monopotato: Wow! The boys are starting to question ghosts! This trial really has succeeded!

Candy: What do you mean by succeeded...?

Richard: Nevermind that. Now we know that this case didn't go as we thought it did...

Peppa: ...

George: Peppa...?

Peppa: ...

Peppa: Delphine...     

Peppa: I didn't think that you'd be the one trying to kill here.

Peppa: You seemed so innocent before...    So respectful of life...    And yet you decided to try and kill someone...     

Peppa: ...I don't know what to think of anymore.

Peppa: I'm sorry you did this. Maybe you wanted to see your family, maybe the motive made you succumb completely. But you didn't have to...

Peppa: ...You didn't have to betray us, Delphine.
