[TAKERU YOUR LESBIANS.]

.... all of 'em enough. [and he looks thoughtful about it before counting down on his fingers]

But we can take out Childe-san, on account of his hand. I don't think it was fully healed until morning, right? So I think that even he wouldn't have been able to get ahold of Yi-kun's shovel. I also think Childe-san would've want to go after someone who would've put up a good fight. So while that's true for Starphase-san, it's not true for Kaan-kun.

I think motive does matter, if people aren't being told to kill. So I'd even want to take out people who were close to Starphase-san. So Gojou-san and Law-san are unlikely.

That leaves Ashiya-san, Omi-san, and Yi-kun. Of those three, Omi-san's a civilian and I don't think he'd manage somethign that brutal. So that's Ashiya-san and Yi-kun.

So the ultimate question is if Ashiya-san did it and tried to poorly frame Yi-kun, or if Yi-kun's a liar.

I'm not entirely convinced if the purpose was to actually get us to vote for him. I think if they just wanted to get us to waste time arguing about whether or not he was being framed, it would have worked. Especially since we all knew Shi Qingxuan and him were close, so she would argue on his behalf. It would be a similar situation to what happened with Beauregard and Mollymauk.

[there's a nod.....]

Mm. Well, that did take up some time to start - but I think that it did also at least lead us to the clue about Yi-kun's shoes. If the general sentiment that it was someone whose feet were too big....

Then that leaves only Ashiya-san, right?

But, ah, that does mean we'd need to believe Yi-kun's testimony. I think that I do... but that's personal feelings, not evidence.

[and he knows better than to conflate the two by now at least]

I'm actually not completely convinced that someone actually wore the shoes, I feel like there would have been even more tracks if that were the case...?

[ since the shoes were dirty. ]

It wouldn't make sense for them to clean after themselves either, if they were wearing someone else's shoes.

[he nods....]

So - what do you think the hint means? Not that someone wore them, but just that the murder was orchestrated by someone even larger than Yi-kun?

It could just be that someone retied them too tight, since they misjudged how he had them on before.

... it would be easier if it's someone bigger than him, because that gives us less possible suspects to work with.

[ . . . he nods.]

I think we need to eliminate that first, to be honest. If we clear Ashiya-san, we can look at the likelihood of Yi-kun doing it himself.

We still need to look at Luca-san and Vlad-san's deaths too, but we have less certain leads on those.
