Trial || Here Comes the Hotstepper || Hiroshi || [RE: Miyako, Nanase, Neil, ATTN: Hanae]
“If it’s an icicle, then… I have a feeling this culprit isn’t as smart as we thought.”
The ex-idol hadn’t said much at all during the trial. He had no motivation to, he reasoned. Talking at all last time just made him suspicious, and being in this place at all was absolutely dreadful after that cold.
“I mean, we’ve already talked about strength being necessary but… I imagine using an icicle would be, aaah… H-how do I say this…? Difficult? It’s like using a slippery candy cane I bet…”
That sounded utterly childish, and he cursed himself for it, but it was, in all honesty, the best explanation he could use to describe how he theorized the weapon choice would go.
“Th-The struggle could be somewhat explained by that lack of planning… They probably thought an ice blade would work, w-well, way better than it did and just… I-I don’t know… fumbled up.”
He found his voice growing more meek. He should’ve stopped talking probably. He should’ve never spoken up in the first place.
“Aaaah… I do feel like this culprit is trying… tr-trying hard definitely… They might be looking out… in… well, outside of the box?”
Breathe in. Breathe out. You’re almost there.
“I’ve got someone to accuse.”
Keep going.
“I’m… mostly doing this since I think it’s unfair to get a large amount of people to strip when they don’t h-have to, so I’d rather narrow it down… People have a right to privacy, and I don’t really want to do this, but… if we have to, I suggest a private body search with her.”
Lacking the individual’s name, he turned his head towards Hanae Moto, the SHSL Body Painter. He kept his gaze with her, surprisingly seeming to hold his ground a bit better than before.
“She licked the body last time too… I remember… She’s of a smaller stature and her tattoos and aura seem to give off… a creative atmosphere, I suppose I’d call it. I can reasonably think she’d be the one to struggle with the icicle and… I feel like the victim wouldn’t fear conversing alone with someone who also looked nonthreatening in height.”
“…Assuming the corpse this time was licked and not just during investigation.”
