Pedro: ...H-Huh?

Freddy: ...

Peppa: ...

Pedro: Hold on a moment, you're saying it couldn't have worked because Danny wouldn't have come to the bar in that case?

Freddy: ...Danny was lured to the bar via a note, right?

Pedro: Yeah! I'm pretty sure that it was delivered to his room or something...

Freddy: Now consider the fact that after the killer left the pool party, they would've known pretty clearly that Danny was in the pool.

Pedro: Ok...

Freddy: So how would the killer have been able to deliver a note to Danny, if the culprit knew there was a high chance that he wasn't in his room?

Pedro: ...Oh. Oh I get it...

Suzy: Wait a minute! Surely the culprit could've left after Danny did! Then there's a chance that Danny was in his dorm!

Freddy: ...Really?

Suzy: What?

Peppa: What does he...      

Peppa: ...Oh.

Peppa: I get it...

Peppa: There's someone here that can maybe disregard that fact...

- Freddy
- Emily
- Kylie

 Peppa: Hey, Emily! Can you repeat your account for us please?

Emily: Uhm...    Sure thing...

Emily: I had just left the launderette when I bumped into Danny. He told me that he was going to get a snack and left to the bar...

Freddy: Was that right after he left the pool?

Emily: Believe so...

Freddy: That means that there's no chance Danny ever went back to his dorm right after leaving the pool party; He went straight to the bar.

Freddy: Which also means that the note must've been delivered to Danny's room before the pool party started...     Preferably in the morning, since Danny would've obviously been in his room then.

Rebecca: Jesus sh- sugar Freddy I- Can you slow down a bit? I know you wanna avenge Danny, but-

Freddy: Ah yeah. Sorry.

Rebecca: Hey...      Hey I didn't mean it like that!

Freddy: It's fine. Let's get back to the case.

Emily: So...     What should we discuss now? Knowing that the stash was placed before the party began...

Richard: Probably a small recap on the order of events. Then we can see if anything sticks out or needs to be added.

Peppa: Very well then...       The killer started by writing the note to Danny, and collecting the items for the stash. They hid this stash in the bar ahead of time.

Pedro: Later on, the killer left the pool party and waited until Danny was in the bar. Then, they took the gun from their stash and attacked.

Candy: However, the killer missed, and Danny tried to fight back as a result. This ended with the killer immobilising Danny with the wine bottle, before properly killing him.

Emily: Afterwards, the killer threw the arrows from the stash into Danny's blood, and wrapped up Danny's neck wounds with the teatowel...

Rebecca: Then they made the dash to Danny's room with his body...

Rebecca: ...Hold on.

Peppa: Huh?

Rebecca: ...If the culprit had been running through the hallways with Danny's body...

Rebecca: How did nobody manage to catch a glimpse of it?

Rebecca: Like, seriously! Surely somebody would've noticed from the gunshots!

Edmond: Yeah, about that...        

Pedro: Hm? Edmond?

Edmond: ...Me and Emily did try to check it out.

Pedro: What?! And you've been hiding this information for this long!?

Kylie: Yeah...     What the hell, Edmond?

Edmond: ...

Emily: Look, we were just...     Kinda terrified that we'd get accused of the case, so...      We tried to keep it hidden so we could keep on the right path.

Emily: Sorry, ok?

Pedro: ...Fine...

Peppa: So, what were you two doing during that...    That period?

Edmond: We were in the storage room and later on the IT room after leaving the party. Then, when we heard the gunshots, we decided to try and see what was going on as fast as we could.

Emily: So we dashed upstairs, when we noticed that the bar door was kind of ajar. We went there to see the exact same scene that we all saw during investigation.

Emily: We were going to check it out, but then we heard something...   From behind us. It was like a slamming door.

Edmond: The door to the janitor's closet was suddenly open, so we dashed there to find the bloodstain and drips there. We followed them downstairs, but by then...    We'd lost whoever we were tracking.

Emily: So we tried to find them again, first checking the storage room and IT room. We were later on going to check the kitchen, but then we found Freddy yanking at a door.

Edmond: And...     I'm pretty sure that Freddy can finish that story.

Freddy: Yeah, heh...      Sure can.

Kylie: So...     The killer just...    Disappeared out of thin air?

Richard: No...      Instead, I think that they hid in a certain place when Emily and Edmond were in the hallways.

Peppa: Yeah, you've got a point Richard...

Peppa: The culprit's hiding spot during the transportation of the body...

- The fuck you mean there was a hiding spot?!
- The library
- The janitor's closet

Peppa: The culprit must've been hiding inside the janitor's closet during the transportation of the body!

Pedro: Hold on...

Freddy: Oh god.

Pedro: ...You need a key to get into the janitor's closet. And the only one with the key to that closet is...

Edmond: Pedro...    Are you saying that I killed Danny?

Pedro: Yeah! Emily could be covering for you!

Emily: I-I'm not! I swear!

Edmond: ...Why...       Why-

Freddy: WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO ACCUSING PEOPLE THE MOMENT ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE SHOWS UP AGAINST THEM?!

Pedro: ...Heh...      ...I can't help it.

Zoe: ...

Pedro: I just can't help it! Haha!

Emily: H-He can't! H-He was with me the whole time!
(Missing Janitorial Key)

Pedro: There's no definite proof of that!
(Missing Janitorial Key)

Freddy: THERE'S ALSO NO PROOF THAT HE'S THE KILLER, YOU SICKO PONY!

Pedro: Well, at least it's a start to something!
(Missing Janitorial Key)

Pedro: Because Edmond always had the key on him, he's a prime suspect!
(Missing Janitorial Key)

Peppa: NO, THAT'S WRONG!

} BR34K {

Peppa: Enough Pedro! Edmond is obviously innocent!

Pedro: What?!

Peppa: Well, for one he made the weapon list. Would he really make that list if he was trying to get out?!

Edmond: ...

Peppa: And secondly...    He lost the key during the pool party, so he wouldn't have been able to get into the janitor's closet!

Pedro: ...I-

Freddy: For the last time: SHUT. UP.

Pedro: ...Fine.

Zoe: ...

Zoe: ...Wait. Peppa?

Peppa: Hm?

Zoe: You're saying that the culprit somehow stole the key from Edmond?

Peppa: Well...     Yeah, if you think about it.

Zoe: That must've been another part of their plan. Think about it...

Candy: ...Oh yeah. That actually makes a lot of sense.

Peppa: ...

Peppa: ...If they planned to use the janitor's closet as a hiding spot...

Peppa: Wait, no...     Maybe that part was a little unplanned...

Peppa: But it that's the case, then...

Peppa: What was the original purpose to steal the key?

Playgroup File 2
Bullet Holes
Hidden Gun
Note
Leaving Order
(Mop)
Pool Party
Edmond's Account

Peppa: I got it...!

Peppa: The culprit stole the key so that they could get a hold of the mop?

Zoe: Yep. Now compare the mop's current state to our issue of getting locked in the pool. How could you force those doors shut with a mop?

Peppa: ...Hm.

Peppa: ...How could they have closed the doors with just a mop...?

{ COMPLETE }

Peppa: Did they...      Thread it through the door handles?

Zoe: Yeah. At least, that's my best guess of what happened

Zoe: Because, if the mop were to somehow break, it would be snapped at the dead center - Exactly how we found it during investigation.

Suzy: Actually, now that I consider it...     Maybe the idea to use the closet as a back up hiding spot wasn't entirely planned...

Suzy: Also, if the teatowel ended up completely soaked while it was in the janitor's closet, that explains the bloodstain in the janitor's closet, along with the drips of blood.

Zoe: Well...     It appears that we've made good process.

Suzy: Yeah! Unlike whatever the hell was going on earlier...

George: Now the only question is...     How did Edmond lose the key?

Rebecca: I'm pretty sure that I remember Peppa saying that he lost it during the pool party...

Edmond: But I was asleep at that time...!

Kylie: Yeah! Someone must've nabbed it from him!

Peppa: ...

Zoe: ...Peppa?

Peppa: ...Someone stole the key during the pool party.

Peppa: Edmond had the key, and he was asleep.

Peppa: So surely, the optimal time to steal the key from him would be while he's asleep.

Peppa: But then you'd need to be right next to him! How am I gonna know who could've-

Peppa: ...

Peppa: ...Wait a minute.

Peppa: ...I think I've just found a suspect.

Peppa: The one who killed Danny...

Peppa: The one who planned this murder from the very start of this morning...

Peppa: The one who collected a stash and hid it in the bar...

Peppa: The one who stole the janitorial closet key from Edmond to use one of the mops from it, and later on hid inside it to avoid being spotted transporting the body...

Peppa: ...Is it...
