Third Trial.

[The Mayor is oddly silent today. Contemplative. It may have something to do with the wallpaper here now being very obviously reinforced. Don’t try to tear it down again, kids. You won’t like what happens.

Both Martin and Alfred’s podiums have been smashed to pieces, one of those might come as a shock if you weren’t around when the other body was found. But in the end, you’ll have to press onwards regardless of how many people have fallen today.]

Trial start.

I...don't know. We have to take a look at what we have.

[He takes out what looks like...a bundled up pizza costume?]

Mika found some broken glass--a whiskey bottle--a little bit further away, away from Martin's body. There were two sets of footprints, one of which looked like they was limping. It also looked like someone slipped and fell in the mud?

[He pauses.]

Anyone else find anything?

I looked around Town Hall where we found Alfred. I followed the trail of blood all the way back to where it started, and it started at the Clinic. Something definitely happened there.

[...]

The day before all of this...I started staying at Cheryl's cabin. Otherwise I would have been at the clinic too.

[She...almost half wishes she was?? Maybe if she had been this wouldn't have happened.]

I don't know why anyone else would have needed to go in there unless they were already hurt. The only other person besides me really in there this week was Mr. Watson.

....Did anyone find anything in the clinic?

It's weird, right? I'm surprised it was leading from the clinic instead of to.

There's...not any reason I can think of for someone to meet someone else at the clinic. It is really strange.

[Hm...]

Not unless someone suffered a minor injury and stopped by to patch themselves up. Got caught by surprise there...or ran into someone there before them.

That's what I was thinking too. For whatever reason, they went into the clinic and walked out with a bigger injury.

So we should be checking people, then.

Check for mud TOO. While all of us may have been in situations where we got dirtied with mud, not many fell into MUD.

[It's worth a try, yeah?]

Wouldn't the mud have been washed off by the rain, though? It was raining pretty hard last night.

It still can't hurt to look, can it?

Fair enough. Who's going to be checking?

I can do it, unless you're eager for whatever reason.

If someone was found at the clinic late at night with blood on them or clear signs of having gotten into a fight, part of you would suspect they may have taken part in a MURDER.

[It may have been an accidental meeting, and things got worse from there]

That's a good point. And since we have two victims...it's very possible that someone had returned to the clinic after getting hurt when they killed someone, then got caught by someone else there and questioned.

They might have...killed whoever that was too, or possibly even the other way around. If there are multiple people involved, we have to consider that whoever did part of the killing may not still be with us.

...Ah. I forgot to mention earlier, but, earlier, the Narrator found three sets of footprints heading into the woods, towards Martin's body. One of which was a little lighter than the other two. The limping-looking pattern was part of the later pair.

Limping... Hey, whoever checked him out, did Martin have any kind of wound on his leg?

It was Dr. Watson! [ Enthusiasm!! ...but it seems a little forced. ] Dr. Watson checked on him.

He didn't have any injuries to his leg that I could see.

His injuries were all centered around his abdomen- multiple stab wounds. I believe I found the murder weapon for him as well- a sharpened pipe.

Do you know if Mr. Alfred had injuries to his leg?

[Maybe he was the one who attacked Martin, for all they know]

He DID shoot himself in the foot a week ago.

A sharpened pipe... Think that's the same thing that killed Alfred? A-And they both had injuries around their abdomen, too!

Could've been something else, too. Lots of things can be used to stab.

[like the knife]

Yeah, but his wounds were rough around the edges.

...I see.

[He frowns, his hands shoved into his pockets.]
