Day 5, afternoon
[SO HEY, THIS MORNING WAS SUPER COOL, HUH??? EASTER EGG HUNT, BODY PARTS, TOO MANY LEGS, SUPER FUN, RIGHT????
and the fun don't stop here at Nope's Peak Academy, because once that announcement has gone off and everyone's had a couple of minutes to...pretend to catch their bearings and deal with the fact that all of the body parts are gone except for the major award leg lamp Ichigo's stuck holding, there are more announcements to come.]
As of now, you have the rest of today and tomorrow to figure out who to punish for the murder of Sigma Klim! You should double check your rules page if you forget what that entails. Or if you didn't! Nyehehehe.
[And there's something new on that rules page, too, for those who take a minute to check.]
You can vote whenever you want, but make sure to do it, okay? It's going to be a problem if you refuse to vote at all, nyehehehehe!
[When the characters open up their tablet again, laborious instructions will guide them through getting to the voting app and using it; both names and pictures are showcased. Votes can be changed at any time, and there's a countdown at the top of the app for how long until votes are due.]
Good luck, everyone, nyehehe!

You said something interesting earlier.
You do not believe this is a 'mystery story'. At most it is 'psychological horror'. Is that right?
As much as I hate to admit it, there is ample evidence you are correct.
The raccoons freely tamper with the crime scene, for example, in ways that Mister Ronald A. Knox would certainly not have approved of.
Of course that doesn't mean we must throw all logic out the window, does it? It means we must base who we believe to be 'the killer' on psychological clues instead of strict physical clues found through crime-scene investigation.
In that case... I would surely think a ready-to-read set of profiles, verified as true by all involved I've yet to speak with, sure would be helpful in determining what sort of character each person had.
It may reveal things that weren't apparent at first glance. Or something indeed that simple interrogation wouldn't reveal. Or even extreme interrogation.
--Yet, you saw fit to burn it all. Destroying our hopes of doing such a thing.
Why is that, Akechi-san?
Please, I'm most curious to hear your answer.

That one.

Then, it prompts the question... why burn it?

What I'm taking from this conversation is that you are a terrible liar, Akechi-san. Or at least, you aren't as smart as you would have led me to believe.
A smart person would have anticipated someone asking this and prepared a reasonable answer. For example: "Oh, the books contained violated everyone's privacy. I burned them in pursuit of the public good." It's an audacious lie, but it at least makes you out to be some sort of hero, with the common interest in mind instead of selfish whims.
What would Occam's Razor say about Akechi-san's actions? I was put in mind of it by one Kurusu-san. Why would someone burn a record of their own past?
The obvious answer would be: "Because they have something to hide."
And what, pray tell, would be the thing Akechi-san wanted so desperately to hide? Enough to resort to arson, a serious crime by any means?
Whatever it is... it must be very interesting, indeed.
[...]
Just from the act of Akechi-san burning the books in the library, see how far Furudo Erika's reasoning has taken her.
What do you think, everyone?

[TWO THUMBS DOWN TO BE HONEST]
no subject
You're discounting other possibilities as well. Maybe Akechi Goro simply doesn't take Furudo-san's questioning seriously enough to dignify it with real responses.
no subject
We've conversed a number of times before, Akechi-san. You've done nothing to indicate you have such a low opinion of me. Quite the contrary, we exchanged pleasant anecdotes about our hobbies, and compared our reasoning abilities. Hardly actions befitting someone who you consider beneath 'dignifying' your interactions with. --No, Akechi-san's evasiveness started purely when I brought up the library.
Was it only one book? You stated the library's information was scattered and mixed in with the other books. In which case, if Akechi-san was to hide information about himself, he would simply have no choice but to burn the entire thing down, wouldn't he? Because 'books are flammable'. Indeed.
That information is very congruent with Akechi-san's actions, and motives I've provided a sound logical basis for. Do you have a further reply?
no subject
Do you really want to know why I'm being evasive? It's because I'm tired of having this same insipid conversation over and over again with everybody else who has severely skewed priorities. I don't have to tell you anything, and you're wasting time that both of us could be spending investigating this murder.
no subject
Perhaps for the future, Akechi-san can take to heart that it is not a very convincing reason to ignore such a drastic event, and instead construct something more... believable.
Some web of deception worth unraveling.

[She's been near Erika since the 'debates' started. Utterly confused by what is happening.]
Erika-dono, he wished to check the security systems and how the Raccoons would react.
[She remembered.]
no subject
Really.

[Look, you picked her as an assistant.]
no subject
Anyway, this changes nothing! Absolutely everything I've said up until now still applies!

[She tried, she's going to go back to hovering now.]

[Futayo's taller than Erika, so she can't exactly look down on her, but she does get, in her face, a little.]
Are you trying to make me look stupid, right in the middle of my investigation?
[Her tone was ice cold.]
That really would've been interesting information if you had told me earlier. You knooow? Less so by telling me now, in the middle of asking Akechi-san about it.
no subject
Forgive me. I had forgotten to tell you while you were setting up the seals.
no subject
...Well, then it can't be helped, can it? Never mind it, then. My anger has passed and I'm eager to move on to putting my brainpower to work solving this current mystery. You are forgiven, Futayo-san.
Let's move on. I think my interview with Akechi-san has passed its usefulness. --We still have other alibis to verify.
