CHANCE.
He hadnāt expected confetti to start flying out, but the manās reaction to Chance completing that nightmare was a little lackluster. Still, heād gotten what he came for, and with little to no issues from the coroner. In his world, that was a success and a half. He took the pages with a nod and a half-muttered thank you, scanning over each sheet while one hand laid on Victorās desk to keep him propped up.
āSo, our friend here died after hisā¦ his throat was slashed, if Iām reading this right.ā He tapped his fingers against the wood.Ā āAnd with only a minute left, too.ā
āWhatās this about bruises, though? Did he get sucker-punched before his death?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā itās less of a slash and more of a jab. quick and dirty, but effective. with slashing motions, more blood tends to get on the perpetrator. . .this way, thereās an initial spray, but if you move away quick enough, youāll be spared the worst of it. ā
Ā Ā Ā grim details, but everything was necessary with these lawyer types. sometimes darker was better ; heād seen prosecutors spin stories about poor unfortunate victims after what victor told them.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā itās consistent with a short distance blow to the face with something like a balled up fist, yes. thatās the strangest thing, though. ā he tapped the side of his own nose for emphasis.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā itās very light bruising for a blow that should cause significant bruises unless it was done recently. thereās swelling and redness in the area, but it hasnāt begun to darken -- and likely wonāt, given thereās no blood to be pumped into the bruised area. he was struck before the murder with enough time for the initial injury to begin showing. ā
