TTN Case 4

**This page details the events of TTN's fourth case. For the main chapter, trial and investigation see TTN Chapter 4.**

## Truth Bullets

### Tampered Vent (Carriage B)

The vent at the top left hand corner above the door only has the cover half screwed on, and several long scraps of duct tape are hanging off it.

### Damaged Lock (Carriage B)

The lock is visibly warped and broken as if it had something shoved into it.

### Evidence of a Fire (Carriage B)

The inside of the carriage is severely burned, with black burns and soot marks covering almost everything that wasn't turned to ash or singed.

### Kira Sato (Carriage B)

The Ultimate Infantryperson is lying on her side in the middle of the room, apparently keeled over. Her skin shows severe burns and chemical burns.

### Burnt Clothing (Carriage B)

A pile of what seems to be an attempt at burning clothing - now a load of blackened, singed fabric.

### Mysterious Chunk of Metal (Carriage B)

A small round ball of metal just big enough to roll around your palm. What was this? Or what did it come from?

### Singed Plan (Carriage B)

An artistically designed plan, partly destroyed, depicting various chemicals and cleaning products and their results when mixed.

### Cleaning Products (Carriage H)

Bottles of rubbing alcohol and several bottles of bleach.

### Gloves (Carriage D)

A pair of nitrile gloves, rolled into a ball, smelling horrible.

### Pots (Carriage C)

Two pots from the kitchen, marked and dented at the base.

### Duct Tape (Carriage A)

A thick roll of duct tape, torn like it's been used.

## Closing Argument

Since no more murders appeared to be forthcoming, the Mascots approached Kyo and told them it was time to kill someone - perhaps someone like Kira, known as a beacon of strength and stability among the passengers, just to really shake them up.

After much arguing and attempted persuading, it was set. Kyo would kill Kira. The Mascots allowed them access to anything they wanted to get the job done.

So Kyo researched what they would need, drew out all the possible combinations and got ready to attempt to commit the perfect crime. They used the pans as a lure/red herring, slamming them together and against various items in the room to make as much racket as possible in order to have Kira come running. It worked, and so Kyo's plan was thrown into action. Kyo locked Kira in the room, and fed cleaning products through the unscrewed room vent to make toxic gas. Kira choked, unable to breathe, suffocating due to lack of air and getting burned by the toxic cocktail's fumes. The room, doused by Kyo with rubbing alcohol among other flammable things along with much of the evidence (such as their chemical-smelling clothing), went up easily as soon as they lit the flame. Sealing the vent, escaping and dropping a wide spread of evidence across all the living students' Carriages in order to make sure everybody was implicated was the final step of their plan.

But the mysterious chunk of metal - what was it? Well, the one thing Kyo didn't account for was the fact that crawling through the vents was neither easy nor good for their prosthetics. A chunk came off as they were dousing Kira's room, which got warped in the heat.
