Victim's Room - Addled Apartments - Gensoka City | Night
Byakuren shook her head at Komachi's suggestion.
"Let's not say Mafia just yet. It could have been anyone close to the victim who killed her." The detective looked up at the fired-up woman and nodded. "You go ahead and search. If you could find the name of this woman, we could begin to ask around."
A name was very helpful in an investigation. With it, a detective or officer could trace family members, close friends, and even enemies. Anyone with strong ties to the victim could very well become a key suspect, even if they were the tenants who shared a floor with her. Byakuren looked back down at the body and noticed what looked to be tears on her cheeks. Furrowing her brow, the detective stood up and glanced about.
"She doesn't seem to be prepared for company. I wonder if she had an abusive boyfriend," Byakuren mused as she traced her steps back to the door. She looked to the floor and walked back to the body, talking as she went. "They were at her door. She must have known them very well if she let them in, especially in these times. They talked to each other for a moment, or the suspect advanced upon the victim..." Byakuren waved her hand over the body as she continued her thoughts out-loud. "She pleaded with them, but she was standing, not on her knees. They shot her, then they left."
After a few seconds of taking it in, Byakuren looked up. The trio of suited fellows from before had departed from the apartment with various objects in their hands, some of which looked like pieces of furniture. Perhaps the trio of people were the suspects?
"Komachi, please also keep an eye out for any furniture or art that isn't there. Dust lines, molested furniture, anything out of place." Byakuren tapped her finger to her lips. "I think I have an idea as to who did this... But I need more evidence."
