Forensics usually would handle the scene first, before he got to it. Hell, when Boss asked him down to examine the scene of Shoko’s body, it was unexpected. And then…the others he’d just…kind of…stumbled on. Seems he stumbled on this one too late, though…
“Seems forensics is a little understaffed at the moment, so they didn’t get through the whole apartment. Now that I’m thinking about it…It’s possible they didn’t even check some places in the bedroom.”
Date was beginning to get an inkling feeling he knew where the murder weapon was, which causes a smile to cross his face. If he were to find it…well, it’d make things much easier, wouldn’t it? After all, it had already proved itself lethal once…and they were quite alone for the time being.
“Tell you what, Prosecutor Gavin. Why don’t you check the closet and dressers? There was enough time before the police got here that the murderer could’ve stashed the weapon somewhere, but I have my doubts about it leaving this room.”
As for Date, he turns his attention to below the bed. It was a place he and Mizuki rarely looked back home anyway, so it seemed like the most logical choice. Besides, the body would draw away the attention of anyone just entering the room, now wouldn’t it?
Sure enough, as he kneels down to look under the bed, he spots a knife. It’s bloody, and it looks as if it was hastily kicked there by someone who didn’t want it being found right away. He reaches under to slowly pull it out. The weight is comfortable in his hand, even as he turns it over. This was quite the good choice for their perpetrator! He’ll be glad to put it to some more use.
He puts the knife casually behind his back for the time being, looking at Gavin, whose back is turned to him.
“You find anything interesting yet?”
Klavier searches the bedroom thoroughly, taking Date’s advice and starting with the closet and dresser. It’s been a while since he had to examine a crime scene for himself-- but he understands forensics being short-staffed.
He rifles through the closet, occasionally holding up a pair of particularly hideous pants up for Date to examine.
“Fashion sense is pretty bad,” he shrugs. “I’ve never seen so many clashing patterns in my entire life.”
Date’s awfully quiet over there, he notices. Of course, he doesn’t know much about the guy yet; maybe he’s just a quiet person. He keeps to his side of the room, not wanting to step on any toes.
“Other than a few hideous pairs of shoes, there’s nothing out of the ordinary over here, detective.” He starts to turn toward Date, having exhausted his search.
“What about you? Was there anything on your side?”
