Thought Route is a mechanic in JMTG Funny Court. It is used at the end of a case when the defense is backed into a corner. The current defense will begin to look over the case again and deduce the truth from the contradictions.

\*\*THOUGHT ROUTE START!\*\*

Let’s review the facts.

The “witness” saw the knife be hidden in the muffler.

Where could he have seen it?

THE BACK OF THE CAR

THE SIDE OF THE CAR

The back of the car. If he was at the side of the car, he wouldn’t have seen it.

So what does this mean?

HE WAS LYING

HE WAS MISTAKEN

He was lying. He wouldn’t have been Mistaken as he said he did see the wire fence.

So why was he lying?

HE WANTED TO HIDE AN ALIBI

HE IS THE TRUE CULPRIT

HE CROSSED THE WIRE FENCE

He wouldn’t have hidden an alibi. There’s no reason. And the wire fence is impossible to cross- it reaches the ceiling.

So what does that leave us?

\*\*TURNER IS THE TRUE CULPRIT\*\*

THOUGHT ROUTE COMPLETE

The Turnabout of Flames:

\*\*THOUGHT ROUTE START!\*\*

Wherewolf claims that Gizell disposed of the gloves after the crime now... What explains the reasoning?

HE WANTS A GUILTY VERDICT

HE CANT UNDERSTAND EVIDENCE

HE WANTS THE TRUTH

He wants a guilty verdict... but why at this point?

HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH

HE CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH

He cares about the truth, that much is clear. But he doesn’t care this time. What explains this?

HE WAS THE ONE TO DISPOSE OF THE CLOTHES

HE WAS A CO CONSPIRATOR

HE KNOWS THE CULPRIT

He had to have disposed of the clothes. It would have been impossible for anyone but him to... Gizell would have ran immediately. So... is this how?

THE REAL CULPRIT RAN AWAY THROUGH THE HALLS

THE REAL CULPRIT TOOK THROUGH THE WINDOW

THE CULPRIT DIED IN THE FIRE

If the culprit wanted to frame someone, they had to run though the halls to give themselves a reason to not be the culprit. And no bodies were found in the house.

So who ran though the hall?

WHEREWOLF

SUNDAY JAY

GIZELL

Gizell couldn’t have run... it’s been established in my logic they couldn’t have been in the den. And Sunday Jay’s alibi is airtight... why did Wherewolf run?

HE CARES ABOUT SAFETY

HE IS THE REAL CULPRIT

HE WANTED OUT TOO

He did want out, but he would’ve taken the window. He cares about safety, but he cares about himself more... so where does that leave us?

\*\*WHEREWOLF IS THE REAL CULPRIT\*\*

Let’s review the facts.

Tanyuyu was indeed in possession of the deadly peanuts. But why would she hand them to Jenna?

SHE KNEW THE MURDER WAS GONNA OCCUR

SHE DIDNT HAND THEM

She didn’t hand them to Jenna. She wouldn’t have handed them to Jenna had she known about the murder... but...

Let’s see. Where would the murderer have come from?

THE FRONT DOOR

THE BASEMENT DOOR

They would have had to come through the basement door... had they went through the front door, they would have been spotted by nebay.

Who came in the basement door?

TANYUYU

JENNA

Tanyuyu testified that she came in the basement door.

I know..! The killer of Nebay was...

TANYUYU

JENNA

\*\*TANYUYU IS THE REAL CULPRIT\*\*

\*\*Thought route clear!\*\*

Poketube: I’m going to revisualize this case from start to finish!

What was Smoxthy making?

UDON

SOBA

EGG NOODLE

\*Smoxthy was making UDON\*

That’s right! But what was found in the bowl?

UDON

SOBA RAMEN

EGG NOODLE

\*There was SOBA RAMEN in the bowl\*

Where did this come from?

SMALL MADE IT

THE SOBA STOCK

A CATERING SERVICE

\*It came from THE SOBA STOCK\*

Right! Nobody said anything about a catering service and Small is allergic to Buckwheat, an ingredient used for soba ramen making!

So why was the soba made?

THEY LIKE SOBA

TO HIDE THE UDON DOUGH

\*The culprit wanted TO HIDE THE UDON DOUGH\*

Right! Small doesn’t even like soba...

Why did the culprit want to move the udon dough? It was because he...

KILLED HIM WITH THE UDON DOUGH

HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST UDON

KILLED HIM WITH THE SOBA

\*\*THE MURDER WEAPON WAS UDON DOUGH\*\*

Yes! That’s what I call conclusive evidence!

\*\*Thought route clear!\*\*

The Hacked Turnabout:

\*\*THOUGHT ROUTE START!\*\*

I have to find proof hash.exe was the hack file.

What can help me figure this out?

THE FILE ITSELF

THE FILE ON JOCELYN’S COMPUTER

\*THE FILE ON JOCELYN’S COMPUTER was a clue?\*

What clue does this leave behind?

FILESIZE

FILENAME

\*The FILESIZE is the clue!\*

What is the similarity between these 2 files?

BOTH ARE THE SAME NAME

BOTH ARE THE SAME SIZE

\*BOTH files ARE THE SAME SIZE!\*

What else? What do I have now that I didn’t have when I made this argument?

THE TIMESTAMP

THE CULPRIT

\*I didn’t have the timestamp!\*

What’s there to conclude now? Should it have been edited just before the hack if it was Jocelyn’s?

YES

NO

\*The hack file was not Jocelyn’s!\*

So who does that leave?

NC

HATKID

\*NC had the hack file!\*

So this means…

NC HAD IT AFTER THE CRIME

NC RENAMED THE FILE

\*THE RENAMED FILE WAS HASH.EXE!\*

So now… this will be our biggest breakthrough in the case yet! Why did the file get renamed just before the crime?

TO COVER UP THE CRIME

TO FRAME NC

\*The file was renamed TO COVER UP THE CRME\*

So this leaves us with the conclusion!

\*\*HASH.EXE IS THE HACK FILE\*\*

\*\*THOUGHT ROUTE CLEAR!\*\*
